@@bokki893 quest 2 is different from pc, on pc the custom songs are built in the game, and there's a mod that allows you to download songs inside the game. on quest 2, you aren't meant to have custom songs and mods
A big thing that helped me and that I recommend is playing harder songs, what I mean is that if u are stuck on hard mode and can’t beat a song play the same song on expert. Don’t try to beat it, just get used to the speed of the song on expert. Then when you go back to hard mode it will seem like the song is slower. This worked for me and it may or may not work for you.
Do you think it would work better if you attempted the harder difficulty in "no fail" mode then went back to the original difficulty with no fail turned off
only 1129m? I keep getting over 3000m on songs. Wait a min, was I not supposed to be taking off every time? (for real though, i'm always getting sooo much travel)
One thing that is helping me is trying the difficulty above the one I’m doing. It helps a lot because when I go to my original difficulty I can do it much better
Awesome Video Bandoot! I've learned from watching your Twitch streams and can 100% agree that a thinner saber is much easier to manage and removing the debris is helpful as well! Thank you for the tips :)
I have over 350+ hours on beat saber, and one thing he forgot to mention is that you need to learn to swing with your wrists, not so much your arms. this helps massively in swinging faster and better. Just thought I should throw that out there :)
"Always stretch your wrists, forearm and shoulders" Oh so that's why my hands are broken great tips (No seriously I never knew this and it scared me I never thought you can get injured from playing beatsaber)
@《 Default Girl 》 Yeah your brain makes you think that you're falling over literally. If you want to experiment with it, put a plank along the floor and then play a tightrope game in VR, it's actually kinda scary when you think you're gonna fall off lol
I'm very new to the game, and something that has helped me is trying different ways of holding my controllers. On faster songs, I actually end up either holding only the base of them or pressing down all of the triggers to have more control over moving them. It's nice that there's no button inputs ingame while doing a song so you can really just hold it however you feel most comfortable.
One thing that helps me is creating custom color schemes. For one I find it super fun to play around with blocks and lights colors but I also find schemes that are easier on my eyes and make more sense to my brain. I put the brigher/lighter/stronger color on my dominant hand; which is one thing that's a big change for me because the default red and blue has the red on the left hand and for me that is a stronger color than blue.
honestly I’ve been playing for a wile but still, this is a very helpful video for people who are just starting and it’s detailed and very accurate to how people will start out.
We need this one boosted in the YT algorithm since I wasn't even looking for tip vids and this one didn't show up for me but someone I never heard of did and was giving ok tips (not wrong but not that important/helpful) and some bad or pointless for getting better. Here we have a good player who knows which things help you improve and doesn't say "No Fail is a good way to learn without punishment"
What perfect timing! Not new to vr, but I just picked up beat saber on my index after a few months of having the index and was literally going through vids to try and find mods.
One advice about the colors that is missing is: Chose colors that are distinguishable from each other, like complementary colors. That way you will be less confused at the beginning, because notes for the right saber will not stay on the right side and notes for the left saber will not stay on the left side.
“If you feel pain, IMMEDIATELY stop playing and get some rest.” You know what they say, *R i p a n d t e a r u n t i l i t i s d o n e, t h e n p l a y a n o t h e r m a p*
yes listen to bandoot and rest if you feel any pain REST IMMEDIATELY my rist hurt rn and im resting and plus its never bad to have a brake ;))))) stay safe people hope u the best
Hi bandoot I’m a big fan and been watching you for a long time and when I got my vr headset in the Christmas of 2020 I Immediately started beatsaber and started watching your videos more often
These are very good tips for beginners. The best thing that he didn’t mention, is just play the game. Don’t worry about score until you get a little better, and play the game for fun. You will improve with time and won’t get burnt out if your having fun.
i can see how it would. you have timing and using your wrist at the same time. im not a drummer but i play other instroments and i can see how that actually would help quite a bit. i wonder if i would be a good drummer since i can pass expert+
being sore usually means your muscles got a good workout from it. Its not a bad thing to be sore. Just make sure you let yourself recover a bit so the muscles can recover and they get stronger
Practice, thin sabers, and grip helped me a LOT, but following along to beat saber videos or streams, tripled my note reading! I went from barely being able to read breezer on expert, to being able to read final boss chan on expert plus! (Still doesn't mean I can acually hit all the blocks tho :P)
Also something to help make you faster is pick songs you enjoy, and ones that have a clear beat in the background. Its easier to play a song you already know than a song that you have never heard before
For Quest and Quest 2 users, assuming you already have BMBF, you can join the Qosmetics discord server to download custom sabers, blocks, walls, and menu titles.
Stretching prior to activity lengthens the tissue and puts it in a weakened state thus making injury MORE likely. Stretching should be done after wards. Ballistic Stretching can be done before.
Can you make a small video telling the steps to get mods on the quest 2 please? I havent found it anywhere and you are the only person I have have noticed with mods that is really helpful too
thank you bandoot. you have made my day cuz i was being bullied on discord for being only able to beat avalance hinode, exct i moved all the way up to galaxy collapse within 10 minutes or so.
you're the reason i started wanting to play this game, for a complete beginner im not horrible, i can complete some songs on EX+ so that's really cool, thank you for this video, hopefully this helps me get better
I have been playing for over 4 months now, and I just now used your controller offsets minus the X rotation, and WOW what a world of a difference. Instantly scored 79% on up and down which I only beat twice in the past
Ok listen, if you feel EXTREME pain you should stop, but sometimes when trying a new fast song it’ll hurt to go so fast and for so long. Just don’t go too hard
Also, another thing, if you have an environment for a song or music pack you like, you can change it so that you have that environment for other songs too. I have a video of me doing breezer expert+ with super fast song, and I’m using the linkin park environment and collrs
