Distance between your face and screen seriously made a huge difference. I only found out I was miles better than I thought just by increasing the height of my chair, I thought I unlocked some new sense so I could read much better lol
when you mentioned tip 5 it made me realise why I feel like I'm playing "differently" during ranked matches, I'm more conscious of the notes I tap while during solo and co op I'll usually daydream or play more sloppily
this was the case for me for months, but then one day i magically got better at them! so mainly i’d just say practice practice practice. don’t intentionally shy away from songs that have them, no matter how hard they might be at first. if it’s just not working, something i did was overcompensate on the distance i moved my fingers. often times i didn’t move my finger far left or right enough so i missed the note (especially since a lot of them are curvy). try screen recording the chart/filming yourself playing it, and see what part of the slider you’re missing. then, play the song again and try to correct it by going further left or right than you think you need. sorry for the paragraph lol but hope this helps.
A lot of great advice here. Personally for me I notice that because of where i’m looking at the screen(im trained to look at the very top of the lane), my fingers arent moving in time with the slider So for tricky sections I have to tell myself to move my fingers earlier than my reflexes want them to.
This is what I do: just place 2 (or more) fingers on the general area of the slider. this might not go well in append or high level master charts but otherwise this worked good for me. if you only play with 2 indexes this might be a bit hard to get used to and if youre a thumb player then 💀
a very specific tip what worked wonders for me was: as an veteran vsrg player,who is used to the timings being very strict (15-20ms marv timings). knowing that project sekai has 33ms timing window for perfects(yes some notes have slightly larger,but this is the most common window)helped a lot,this allows you to estimate how far off from a perfect you are when you get a great. you can also use this to fine tune your offset and scrollspeed,by playing songs on NORMAL . since if youre not APing those,one of those is very off.
Tip #2, Your app will take some RAM to run, and (I guess that) if you leave it running for too long it will take up more RAM than usual, because every program needs to stock some temporary files in the RAM to function as it's 1000 times faster to get it from there rather than your disk (so the program runs fast). If you leave it open for too long it will eventually eat up all your RAM and lag, and then crash. Tip#3, It's never recommended to charge while using your phone because charging induces heat, and your CPU exudes heat while doing a task, and when there's too much heat your device will tank the speed of your CPU/GPU to get it to cool down, that's why your play will be more laggy. Also it will degrade your battery faster (because of heat). To improve in accuraccy imo your need to have good offset, and listen more to the music than relying on the visual cues of the chart, also Tip #4&5. You could also play on 120Hz devices for iOS : an iPhone Pro (13 or higher) or iPad Pro (11 inch all gens, or 12.9 inch gen 2 or higher, but only for rhythm games it's overkill) or for Android, most flagship phones will do it, just check specs on GSM Arena, I personally use Red Magic phones since it's affordable for the specs (horrendous cameras though).
The distance between your face to the screen is so important. I was watching a gameplay of a certain chart in maimai and it looked easy, so I tried playing it myself and I got overwhelmed 😭
These are some good tips! But my best tip is learn how to play using 4 or more fingers. Ever since I started the game I have been using 4 fingers and it has allowed me to AP many master 31s. However if you don’t play on iPad it might be a bit more difficult but it is still possible to use 4 fingers. Yeah so I honestly highly recommend it as it is basically necessary for high level play. If you can acc using 4 fingers you’re basically golden because you can just autopilot and high acc on like most charts in the game aside from level 34s and above.
I have played another rg called adofai which is really rhythm based and since then I am able to keep up with rhythms really well, and these advices definitely help a lot more
i'm a thumb player who plays on my cracked af phone but it works for me, i can consistently fc 30 and under and got like four 31 fcs lol (more jump more, alter ego, shinjinrui, and hiasobi) but i'm a very agressive and sometimes sloppy player (my friends commented on how hard i usually tap the notes lol) and i want to improve my accuracy bc there are lots of fcs that keep evading me, i don't really care about aps (ik i'm never gonna get them anyways plus no rewards) and usually i just kind of feel the rhythm of the song when i'm not quite sure how to read something and it works sometimes but i think tip #5 will help me get more fcs!! meteor pulse i'm coming for you
For me, I simply kept trying to ap a specific song and then moved on to ap another after I aped that. After aping like 5 songs on expert, the number of greats I got went from 15-20 to 0-5. I guess trying to ap things really improves your accuracy
i play with thumbs haha so my phone is always pretty close to my face, but i am getting closer to AP'ing songs, its just never happened yet, ill have like 20 or less greats at times
very informative and easy to understand (with touch of nice humour) thank you (now i just need correct my abysmal play style that is one handed mobile lmao)
4:39 I thought I was the only one that did that when it happened. It felt like that i was freaking out on the inside but had to keep focused on that full combo.
Any rhythm games are applied this like bang dream (my first rhythm game). My note speed from 10.7(new to the game)to 11.2. this was my years of playing its because I feel the note speed is more slower and the result is too many great/good taps. I didnt change my offset tho it tries to delay or advance your music unless you're using bt headphone.
You really called me out on the last one 😭 I know to alot of veteran rhythm game players this is like "Duh, obviously" but pjsk is my first so i struggle real bad with randomly tapping, and not lifting my fingers high enough... leading to bad taps and even misses. Keeping my thumbs straight and steady makes it so much easier, even if it's taking an embarrassing amount of self discipline to not do it 🥹 Thanks for the tip! 🤍
Hi! Wanted to ask a tip, With my current set up, I get very few greats (2-10), but all of them are "late", should i change my settings? Or leave it as it is
are they flicks that are registering late? If so you might wanna flick faster as a slow flick might register late… if not then you might want to make your offset more negative. It’s also good to be conscious of unintentionally slowing down.
do you have any tips for playing with more than two fingers? when i started playing project sekai, i was a thumb player, but i’m slowly adjusting myself to use my index fingers. however, it’s still kind of hard for me to also use my middle fingers. i was wondering if you have any tips for up getting used to it or any chart recommendations? 😅 edit: just to clarify, i have trouble with deciding(?) when to tap with my index or middle fingers depending on how close the notes are to the edges
my greats are always 15 & under but i hardly ever ap, so hopefully this helps. (well, expert and higher. i can ap hard and under.) sucks i can’t use ipad bc back problems
Lately, I have had some serious lag. My screen freezes/doesn't respond for 0.5-2s mid song on EVERY SINGLE SONG. It gives me around 5> misses. I don't know what timing I should have because I always have equal Late/fast at 0.0 timing, but I still have lag. I have good or above average wifi. I do restart pjsk daily. I don't understand, lol!
Some devices just struggle to run pjsk sometimes Unfortunately theres only so much we can do, but in the end it might be time to upgrade to a new device
This is off topic, but how do u know the difference between a large single note and a double note that is very close together? Sometimes the double notes hard to recognize quickly enough so I accidentally click it with 1 finger.
The easiest thing to do in that situation is to just treat both as a chord (multiple notes). As long as both fingers are in time when you press it, you wont be penalized by using two fingers But as you move onto higher level charts, playing like that might accidentally trigger another note coming down immediately after. So in that case its important to start studying. And memorizing certain sections of songs
