One tip I have is never use no fail mode. Play Expert+ songs at slower speeds if you need to, but learning to really master these songs will make it feel much more comfortable.
The patterns that go up and down for each saber, are called streams. These can be put in places in the song that are fast. These can show up in many different ways. So make sure to look ahead, or sight read, to get the right. Also, be sure to anticipate that blocks. Once you play more levels, you start to notice that you seen these patterns before, and slice away! That's how you get flow.
I find that keeping no fail off pushes me into a "do or die" state, forcing me to stay focused and clear the songs. On expert+ it's especially thrilling
For me it's the opposite. Because I know the song will keep playing no matter what, I will strive to take bigger risks and often that means getting the hang of the song quickly!
I got beatsaber 3 days ago never have played before (and owning VR) and went from normal to expert consistently. The biggest things I’ve learned are to be efficient with your swipes (learning the difference between big swings and wrist snaps) and the biggest thing: BREATHE. I found that whenever I had to hit a heavy stream of notes I had to remind myself to calm down and take deep breaths.
as an intermediate osu player these tips are for ANY beat and rhythem games. Personally i got to the expert point very well. overall its a great video to the novices and first starters on beat and rhythem games. good luck mate
4:03 there's also the cross-vertical. The two blocks will want you to slice at the wall's direction. Usually the right column of blocks will want your right hand on top. And the opposite for the left column. Conclusion: the hand that goes on top is going to be the same as the direction of the slice usually.
Tijn If keep trying you should get there, i am top 200 on some song, but the way I see it the expert to expert plus is the hardest one but very possible just keep trying, when ready shoes the slowest expert plus than go up and in no time you can get ther, it did not take me more thane 2 months. ( I am always safe whit my prediction it probably was less)
Today I made the swap from expert to expert+ Spin eternally on expert was a gatekeeper level for me and really got me to learn what to do Then I decided it was time to move to expert+ so I beat elixia after about two hours and then I beat one hope first try I am hoping I can keep finding expert+ songs that are doable for me before I can move up to the harder ones
one hope was the first song I beat on expert+! spin eternally was a big roadblock for me too, but I liked the song a lot so I replayed it casually for a few days and got it in the end
one of the better tips videos to get to higher difficulties. thank you. Some of the patterns you called out (especially the ones where you rotate) are the one that are keeping me from really succeeding in expert. Hard isn't too bad, but the jump to expert is when the game really gets tough (and fun).
It only took me 3 weeks to get to expert+ .-. Side notes: I never watched any of these vids for tips but I also play a lot of other rhythm games (osu, RoBeats, GD, a dance of fire and ice, spin rhythm XD, Cytoid, etc.) so I have some built up reaction time
I recently fixed my headset and have been playing a lot of online with my friend but they’re to high level compared to me so I’m so happy to find something like this thank you
I’ve been pushing to expert plus myself but am not holding my controllers any crazy way and try to keep my arms moving as much as possible to where it is some what of a work out lol an hour of arm swinging will take it’s toll on any one playing on expert+ lol
I agree with everything here accept the no fail tip. No fail usually ends up with losing track of whats going on, then frantically swinging hoping it atleast looks like your hitting the blocks. It better to go through trial and error than just trial.
I'm a big believer in not cheating by only using the wrists. Even if you can't do the fastest songs because of it, I sure as hell know that you're getting a much better workout by trying.
Agree, using wrist is not so great since your not getting much about from the workout. I always make sure my friends never used wrist, sure it's more efficient to swing, but doesn't mean you be able to hit most blocks with your actual power.
HOW ? I've been trying to find out how to play competitive modded beat saber, or if it's even possible yet on oculus quest 2, any idea on how to proceed?
I would say that there is another tip, the way you hold the controllers, personally it helped me when I started holding my controllers in the C-grip position, but theres loads of other ways, and it really helps with the wrist movements, otherwise great vodeo😀
I got a friend from my channel wanting me to play beat saber ghost on experts + so what ever gets my arms to stop shaking like hell when I try to flex my hand is a good tip on my end👍
Don’t know what it was for me but I started at hard mode when I first got the game but in just under two months I moved to expert+ as some thing just clicked inside me that let me process the game faster than what I did before
Same, but me I had bean doing different fencing game and varient ever sens second year of school so I guess that's my reason for starting at hard, In a weak or tow I was doing expert, expert plus was harder to start tho...
I like to brute force my way to harder difficulties in rhythm games. Mobile rhythm games like voez, cytus, and cytus 2 I chose special or the harder option. It's usually the fastest way for me to get better. Beat saber I started on hard. I've finished a few songs but others are hard af for me. Also doesn't help that custom songs are almost always made for expert/expert+ (the songs I like anyway) which makes me sad. Thanks for the tips. I'll try using some of these. One other thing to note is the index controllers are fucking weird for BS.
The reason I go straight to harder difficulties is because they match the rhythm of the song whereas easier diff. Don't (not as much as harder diff) I listen to the song to make sure I hit them properly. Which should be a given but I legit have a friend so doesn't. He just watches the notes.
I have a hard time holding on to the controllers the traditional/intended way because I have small hands. I changed my grip because the stock wrist straps (of Q1) suck. I've thrown them a couple of times. Can't seem to get the controller settings fine tuned for the altered grip (claw). Other than missing a block, my most common mistake is for the tip of the opposite saber to touch a block which is then counted as a bad cut or x. It's very discouraging. Now that I've got the Esimen slicon grips with halo covers it's made the controllers even bigger in my hands - and ever so slightly heavier, but you do notice it. Now I need to figure out how to play all over again with the standard grip which just does not feel natural. I'm in awe of all the youtubers who can do expert and above, you included :)
The way a meassure how good i am and my progress it's with random songs and their notes per second. When i had 10 hours into the game i was able to handle 3/s and after 23 hours now i can do 4.5/s. Play your favorite custom songs will be my advice #1, it doesn't feel like you are practicing.
For this 59 year old..."hard" is hard enough with the occasional "expert" thrown in. My work out routine is 60-75 minutes. Definitely going to put wrist weights on! Great idea Steve!
I'm so hit or miss with expert (no pun intended). Some songs I can do pretty well but others make my eyes glaze over. I also find that for some reason, the DLC songs are way harder than base game
I got the Meta three a month or so ago and love it. I had a brain injury in 03 that left me with about 8% of my vision. So I wondered if I would be able to use it. I can. haha I got Beat Saber a week or so ago and love it. I played for two hours a day or so ago. Queen is one of my favorite bands. I got the level pack and was able to get 400,000 something of normal or hard. I was shocked. I tried Rolling Stones today and sucked. I may be burnt out for a week or so. haha Anyway, I tried expert. I can not do it at all right now. I think it is because I felt so worn out, my arms just kind of flopped. haha I look forward to seeing if I can get to the point in which I can rock away on expert.
Also if you can mod get a saber that feels comfortable to you I have a saber that's not that much in diameter and not so bright so therefore the saber doesn't distract you. But if you get used to that saber the og sabers feel so weird lol
There's expert and there's Camelia. After a month of having Quest 3, I can reliably do expert songs (custom and non-camelia stock). I cleared a couple of custom expert+. Some of the camelia stuff is, besides being hard on ears, hard on the mind and soul as well. my advice: play the songs you like, the songs that 'flow'. Unless grinding away at a piece for hours is your cup of tea, skip the unplayable songs. They are there for the 'challenge' which I found non-enjoyable. they were made specifically to confuse you, to irritate you and to make you think you are just a bad player. NO. Trust me, nobody can 'play' Camelia on expert+. It's all just muscle memory and repeat until you do it. Go find some stuff you like on BeatSaver. Dance, sweat and enjoy. There is no NEED to get better, unless you're planning on competing for the world cup. It's meant to be relaxing, not taxing.
You should play expert with increased speed. Won't help with expert+ since I can do them with my eyes closed but not on slow expert+, but it's _funnnn_
@@corvidconfidential8826 I do always play with increased speed. : / There's just such a difference between Expert and Expert+. Except Camellia, I still haven't been able to beat one of those on Expert.
It took me 3 months for Christmas to beat every song in the game expert plus ost song any way I just changed my grip and played everyday for 8 to 10 hours
Idk how but is it normal for your fourth day of beat saber beating blinding lights on expert and already beating 2 expert plus levels, I’m mainly using this to beat Godzilla in expert
The tips apply to the game, not specifically the Q2. The controller tip would work for any brand of controller. I personally use Q1 to play Beat Saber.
Any tips for hitting a really fast up-down pattern? I’m struggling on this one custom song with a lot of up and down patterns and I lose my rhythm easily and lose. It’s really infuriating when I turn the speed a little slower to try and understand the pattern but then I can’t do it at normal speed.
I’ve been playing beatsaber for awhile. The way I got up to Expert+ was by following the notes per second. In my opinion *The whole game is about Adapting Endurance not Performance* (keep in mind your playing style is only Tailored to you) So my guidance is this⤵️ So the biggest Tip/Advice I can give to anyone to get better and advance forward is to *Adjust your reaction speed with the song your playing and move up when you beat more than one song at the speed your always winning by.* Because now when I think about it dispute what people think the angle of hitting notes is only a small part of what makes you good because now thinking back to how I got good I’m realizing that it’s more about lasting the longest not about getting a high score. You can’t get a high score if you can’t survive, and a way to survive is to hit the notes no matter the angle and as long as you hit in the direction the notes tell you. Reasons?⤵️ So the more you play the more you adjust to something you haven’t before. “If you follow the Rhythm you follow the pattern if you follow the pattern you follow the way you hit the notes right that lead you to last longer.” I discovered this when I realized *i didn’t need to hit every note to beat a song… but if want a high score than you have hit more notes and better than before…* at that moment now that’s when I say score matters Why? What do you mean?⤵️ When playing online I notice *people fail due to over estimating the amount of notes they can hit not the amount of notes to keep them going with* 😂 and that’s why the people who focus on surviving win more. *So a pro player is always going to win not because of getting a higher score but because they adjusted to get a higher score*; meaning a pro player focuses on hitting notes perfectly to stay alive not by hitting notes to score. So Pro players have high scores because of adapting simple Endurance not Performance. Get it😅
I used to be able to do Expert+ until they added that update with the new dumbass notes. It doesn't help that I've been using my headset for 2-3 years, so the tracking sucks. Now, I can barely do expert. At least there's more of a challenge now.
I can do expert+ I just miss a lot of notes, lowering difficulty doesn’t help cause somehow I miss notes in even easy, I swing at the notes but my hand is SLIGHTLY too far from the hitbox and I miss :(
Just to add more to the “no fail” segment, don’t use the no fail modifier at all times, out of personal experience, it will eventually cause you to lose the pep in your step and won’t be as motivated to pass the level because you know that you will still be able to play regardless.
I actually broke my left wrist last week and I’ve gotten soo much better because of it used to be stuck on expert fast but from just a weeks work with my new cast has let me focus on technique now I’m good at doing expert plus best thing I’ve done in a while
I already do expert plus, and I am top 200 in some, whatch to see what I thot of the trick and I absolutely agree whit most of them, the only one that let me a bit perplex is the wheight training. Ass you say it is importent to do it lightly, and result would most likely happened, I just think it's very important to keep in mind that weight training can be dangerous and should absolutely be kept low. That being said your weight seam reasonable.
I’m not bragging at all but when I first played beat saber I was kinda good at expert so that was what I played when I first got my quest 2 and when I played it at the arcade for the first time and after that I played expert + after a few weeks
"Goku training" haha that's funny...it's an old training method going back a long time, notably the first US Olympic shotput team used larger cannon balls for practice so that the normal balls were lighter and could be thrown farther, the method probably goes back thousands of years though, idk ... silly kids thinking they invented something cause they named it after a cartoon, hehe
I think most people try easy the very first time and realize it's too easy for anyone who isn't an elderly person. Most of my friends who try it can get to at least medium after a few tries.
Ive been stuck on expert for ages, expert feels too easy but expert+ feels impossible

thats very relatable, im even able to play faster expert but slower expert+ is like betting you wont get drunk after drinking 5 drinks

Additional Tip (but Late tip): Try out some other grips like for example the claw grip which can ease up movement on your wrists.

So the more you play the more you adjust to something you haven’t before. “If you follow the Rhythm you follow the pattern if you follow the pattern you follow the way you hit the notes right that lead you to last longer.” I discovered this when I realized *i didn’t need to hit every note to beat a song… but if want a high score than you have hit more notes and better than before…* at that moment now that’s when I say score matters
Why? What do you mean?⤵️
When playing online I notice *people fail due to over estimating the amount of notes they can hit not the amount of notes to keep them going with* 😂 and that’s why the people who focus on surviving win more. *So a pro player is always going to win not because of getting a higher score but because they adjusted to get a higher score*; meaning a pro player focuses on hitting notes perfectly to stay alive not by hitting notes to score. So Pro players have high scores because of adapting simple Endurance not Performance. Get it😅
And the reason I said “Adapt Endurance” is because everyone is *tailored* to what makes them get good at scores while being good at not failing
I think @SteveKnows agrees
I used to be able to do Expert+ until they added that update with the new dumbass notes. It doesn't help that I've been using my headset for 2-3 years, so the tracking sucks. Now, I can barely do expert. At least there's more of a challenge now.

I can do expert+ I just miss a lot of notes, lowering difficulty doesn’t help cause somehow I miss notes in even easy, I swing at the notes but my hand is SLIGHTLY too far from the hitbox and I miss :(
Y at 4:48 your saber r small
I lose when lets say the right side note is on the left side, like right at the spin eternally first beat drop
took Me 30hr to beat campaign xD
Just to add more to the “no fail” segment, don’t use the no fail modifier at all times, out of personal experience, it will eventually cause you to lose the pep in your step and won’t be as motivated to pass the level because you know that you will still be able to play regardless.
is it weird that I recognized country rounds just by look at the notes
I actually broke my left wrist last week and I’ve gotten soo much better because of it used to be stuck on expert fast but from just a weeks work with my new cast has let me focus on technique now I’m good at doing expert plus best thing I’ve done in a while
Don't used your wrist so much... Becareful
ayo, not the default grip

Change grips
They say Elvis or the Beatles, I say Beat saber or pistol whip lol. I'm a pistol whip man any tips for that game?
Get really good aim
Oh and do hip exercises squats and ankle exercises and stretching
I already do expert plus, and I am top 200 in some, whatch to see what I thot of the trick and I absolutely agree whit most of them, the only one that let me a bit perplex is the wheight training. Ass you say it is importent to do it lightly, and result would most likely happened, I just think it's very important to keep in mind that weight training can be dangerous and should absolutely be kept low. That being said your weight seam reasonable.
Noice
SLIDERS
some songs that seem to hard are actually not that much above your skill level
Is it just me who uses the controller upside placing my thumb in the dip below the trigger??
wat.
I'm now the 10th comment
I'm the 11th lol
Get faster = win....right?
I’m not bragging at all but when I first played beat saber I was kinda good at expert so that was what I played when I first got my quest 2 and when I played it at the arcade for the first time and after that I played expert + after a few weeks
Just hit Bloks lol
"Goku training" haha that's funny...it's an old training method going back a long time, notably the first US Olympic shotput team used larger cannon balls for practice so that the normal balls were lighter and could be thrown farther, the method probably goes back thousands of years though, idk ... silly kids thinking they invented something cause they named it after a cartoon, hehe
bro has anyone actually played on easy their first time playing
I think most people try easy the very first time and realize it's too easy for anyone who isn't an elderly person. Most of my friends who try it can get to at least medium after a few tries.
