Hello! Are there any tips for defeating deathstreams and circles that are really close to each other (coming in fast)? What I usually do is alternate click with mouse (left then right). I get mostly 100's and 50's and some 300's and a lot of misses. D:

Example:


Yay Cyclone. Thanks to whoever replies!

Try using Z and X on the keyboard. It helps for those sorts of things. ;)

depends on the bpm
obviously the higher bpm the faster you press z/x

try playing around with it first.

Yay me. ^_^

Anyways, i've seen this question asked a LOT. Would it help if i made a video showing the different styles of play available for doing deathstreams, listing pros and cons and such?

These "deathstreams" typically come pretty easily to me. Maybe it's from my musical experience. I dunno. In any case, Z and X work better for me for any type of play. I don't usually count the rings or anything, just do it according to the music. Maybe it's also partly because I listen to the song first (If I don't know it) before playing it.

If you're having problems with Z and X specifically you can always assign new keys. ;x Of course, I don't know if people like that or not...

It's really easy if you can understand the beat and while Z/Xing you maintain a firm grip with the mouse so you can control where that cursor goes. I suppose...

I'll be interested to see what happens here, since this may help me.

Z and X aren't really the issue or assigning new keys. I'm just not good multitasking through the mouse and keyboard. I can only do 1 at a time and I really suck playing with only keyboard. Thanks Sousei :)!

Start tiny, like don't go with "far" 16th spacing circles there and move out. Or enjoy with those circles that stack on each other, it's a good way to practice on the Z/X method without moving too too much. :3

I use Alt(first finger) and `(third finger) when I play the deathstream beatmaps.

I just want to say "z/x" since thats the default button for it, making it a "common term" for all.
And imo zx is easier than mouse+click.

dont use zx
lol what do you use? tap and pen click hahahahahah

Instead of making a topic for this, would 218 BPM 1/4th note stacks be a little tooo much?

After practicing for hours, I seem to miss even more with the keyboard ;o. I guess because I'm so use to "feeling the impact" on the circles when I click. If that made any sense... but I'll keep trying I guess, unless there are any more suggestions.

I dislike the travel time on the Z/X keys, so I just use the two mouse buttons. For sheer fast stacks like on Marisa, you could try doing both Z/X and the mouse buttons at the same time if you can't click fast enough.

if you casn do it on keyboard, just stick with mouse clicking.
it would be hard to force yourself to do something that is awkward at first like switching from mouse click to keyboard.

ask Ivalset or something for alt clicking stuffs since hes the only guy i knew who is very good at alternate clicking.

You also wear your hand out alternate clicking because generally you're pressing down harder trying to keep your mouse from moving.

I can alternate click pretty easily if the stack has only up to 5-6 and get all 300s. After that, it becomes a bit hard. As Ivalset mentioned, I do have a problem with moving the mouse and clicking if the circles are coming in really fast. I did try mouse + keyboard, yet I just can't get the feel for it. Guess I'll stick with alternate clicking and hope to get better ;o!

@lukewarmholiday: My hands haven't been worn out yet :)!
