Hi everyone, I'm new to Maimai (around maybe 50 songs played?) and wanted to learn on how to play well so someday I can do a Master 14 but right now I am stuck in 10 hitting at 90-92% accuracy. My general problem is sightreading as I cannot seem to follow the circle well when they moved, like around 3 circle within a timespan and my brain malfunction or something. How do you guys do it? Like do I need to be at a type of position to have the whole view of the machine, and a change in speed? What usually should be a good settings for players

Any help would be nice as I am focus on playing more of this game, it's really fun.

Really love Rickey design when I first saw her ultimate animation, specially her very cute smile, with a FANG (I just really love fang) and so I decide to do a funny and bring her to this cm. Now I already build her with these stats and skills above, but she still fell short in some races even when she in favors (4th in favor to be exact) and so what should I make a change so Rickey can win the Final and HIT THAT MS VICTORIA (god I love that song). Please noted that I only join when Taiki Shuttle speed SSR coming up so very limited in power, but you can ask me for the cards I have if you want!

So I used to be a decent players around top 5 digits in Mania (4K only), when I started playing around 2022-2023 and I got generally great at 5-6* with S ranks around a lots of songs. Some years later I decide to have a big rest, as my hands can't handle jacks because I am not using to speed jacks 200bpms. I thought a 2 months rest would make me play better but I just became worse, to the point I had another big rest. Now I am trying to come back but I can't even do 4* S now, my hands specially my non-dominant hand don't have the stamina and it's really hurt to play. I can still sightreads but my accuracy and speed isn't the same anymore. Should I just stop?
