If there's a song you're stuck on and you don't want to waste all of your headphones doing the song over and over again and getting frustrated, I found a great way to practice!

I used this for the Hitchhiker hidden stages in SuperStar SM because they're the hardest songs in the game, and I want to see if I can get good enough at them to 3* them.

(Just a warning that this tutorial is for iOS. I'm not sure if there's a way to do something similar on Android, but you might be able to figure it out if you mess around with your settings a bunch.)

1. Find a YouTube video on your phone of the song you want to practice.

·

·

There are lots of screen recordings on YouTube of people getting 3 stars on songs in SBTS, especially of the harder songs. So just try your best to find a good video.

6. In the Touch Accomodations menu, turn on "Hold Duration" and set it to 3.00 seconds or higher

·

·

If the song has a lot of long yellow notes, I recommend higher than that.

7. Go back into YouTube and play the video in full screen, tapping the notes as if you were actually playing

·

·

Because of the longer hold duration, you should now be able to freely tap and slide the notes without affecting the video, such as accidentally rewinding it or pausing it.

The great thing about this is that you can play the song as many times as you want without using any hp, and you can even rewind back to parts you're having trouble with and study the beatmap.

This can help you learn the patterns and timings, so you're less likely to mess up in the actual game.

8. Turn the settings back to normal when you're done

·

·

Because having to hold your finger for at least 3 seconds before you can tap on anything will get so annoying, so fast.
