I'm at a loss as to how to play the hidden mod. Even on songs which I can FC at 95% + accuracy I'm pulling 80% plays with less than 100 combo while playing hidden. Was it like this for everyone starting hidden or do I just suck at reading it or something?
Yes, it was exactly the same for me, except that I died 15 notes into the song on HD because I used to be a circle-scientist, closely watching the Approach-Circles.
People say you should listen to the rhythm, which is true, but over time you'll just develop your reading skill for the HD mod.
Just like in no-mod you'll have a subconscious awareness of when to hit the notes based on when they appeared on the screen and the timeframe between each note.
Learning to read triples and streams on HD took me a long time, though. Same goes for AR8 HD which is just absolutely brutal imo.
