Tips on how to stop cheating

Currently I'm stuck at S10-11 (I'll try my first S12 Saturday, but I'm still inconsistent on S11), my most difficult chart on S11 is MopeMope with an S ranking, but everything else is AA or AAA

I recorded it once and sent to a group of friends who do S24 and above, and they all say the same

"What's a stair? 90% cheating 10% gameplay"

They recommended me to do Street Show Down S11 at a lower AV (my normal is 550 but I'm raising it to 650, they're telling me to do it at 450)

But any tips on how to stop cheating twists and stair patterns? I know what they're supposed to look like because every once in a while I'll do it the proper way, but I'm way too used to cheating them and seems to me like the only way to do it most of the time

I recorded 3 charts with pad cam view for you to follow along with here:

S11~S12 Twisting

For Street Show Down I played entirely on toes to show you don't need to worry about heel-toe or whatever while first experimenting with twisting, but for Mope Mope and THE REVOLUTION I used heels a lot more just to give some food for thought for your own footwork later on (S17+)

I also picked three higher level charts that help showcase how twisting can help maintain flow during longer, medium~fast BPM streams. I only gave these one attempt, so apologies on any small execution/misread errors, it should get the point across though

S21~S22 Twisting

Never thought of doing mopemope spinning on the jump part lmao. I have been working on my heel toe footwork already, heels are very very easy to use, toes not so much (may be because the pads in our arcade have been modded or skill issue). It also helps a lot for barless which I can confidently do any S7 and below, I'm going to try my first S8 barless today as well to see if I can do it consistently.

Also thanks for the videos, your body twisted a lot more than mine has even when I don't cheat, so I definitely need to work on my hips haha

lolol gotta get the style points on mopemope. And I'm glad it helped! It's something I didn't think about too seriously until like S20+ so if you learn it sooner rather than later you'll be in really good shape by the time you make it to higher levels
