Beginner Guide: From Rhythm Basics to Stable FC

Three fundamentals first

1. Timing & judgement windows (e.g., SICK/GOOD)
2. Keys & posture: use ↑↓←→ or WASD, relax shoulders and neck
3. Chart reading: recognize bars and patterns before dense sections

Practice path

• Start with easier difficulties to stabilize accuracy and combo
• Loop dense parts; slow to 0.8x/0.9x then return to 1x
• Cycle “loop → fix → solidify” for weak spots

Common issues

• Input delay: desktop browser first; close heavy apps; adjust audio latency
• Speed ceiling: break patterns into sub-rhythms; use count-aloud drills
• Mental game: aim for consistent accuracy, then raise difficulty
