Vaguely satisfying feeling. The new song for halloween, Spooky Beat, has a few 666 references in it. Guess who just lucked out into being position 666 on the leaderboard .

haha, I knew you were evil!!

And now just completed my first Camellia pack song on expert+, Crystallised. Almost had it a few times in the past weeks, but there's a section towards the end that just killed my shoulders and I couldn't keep up for the full duration. Managed it today though!

Only 20000 on the leaderboard though...

Any tips from transitioning from Hard to Expert. I can complete Hard songs with near perfection but can’t even finish Expert!

Just practice....it'll come easy enough. Try No Fail or slower modes to get certain patterns down.

Try the fastest song you can do on hard. Try doing faster songs modifier on hard songs.

I actually found in some ways, expert+ easier than some other levels, because the songs flowed, if you'd just struck a note upwards, the next one will be downwards etc. I'd fail it a lot at first just because of how fast it is, but the flow was better.

Also, just trying Expert songs, each time you do them you should find it easier. Whereas if you keep playing hard, then just going upto expert once, you won't get better since your brain will be working on Hard speed, and not getting better at processing.

Agree that harder is easier in many cases. The more notes...the more it's actually in time with the music.

i got to expert on most songs, a few mistakes on some songs, but Expert + i cant transition to !!

i just practice with default speed etc

all i done is make it less "wow" so i can see what im hitting etc

I would say no fail and practice mode at a slightly slower speed helps too, especially particularly hard sections!

Thanks for the tips, will let you know how I get on with implementing them.

Wow, looks pretty but realised how much I prefer pumping beats in these type of things.

The sounds of the blocks being cut were so out of sync with the melody it hurt. With louder music it's easier to overlook them.

Unseul · 3 Dec 2021 at 09:48

Looked a bit slow as well in stages. Prefer a bit more excitement (didn't watch it all the way through).

as i have this on the Quest 2, i checked to see if it comes cross play with the PCVR version
and im really surprised it isn't, need to pay £22.99 for it

Yeah never has, too popular I guess. They just know people are just going to pay regardless

ShiWarrior · 5 Dec 2021 at 11:42

thats most likely why i guess

All I was going to do , is use the PCVR one modded songs, and keep the Quest version untouched

I ended up just buying the quest version alongside the pc one .....so they got me I guess

I think it took a lot of work to get it going on quest. Big rewrite. So they wanted to get paid for it.

I guess development now Will often be done with quest in mind regardless so doesn't take the same effort.

This is a good point and very possible, I don't regret buying it twice!

Anyone getting the Lady Gaga pack? Not my kind of music but it's a huge get for Beat Saber. Obviously they are big but getting official Lady Gaga licencing seems pretty huge for a vr game!
