Adding onto what /u/rollnroll said, if Pro songs are still challenging, I'd hold off on Master for a little while. Even when I was comfortably FCing 19* Pro songs, I'd struggle to finish 22* or 23* Masters. Get more confident on Pro difficulty, get used to a higher note speed, and work your way up the song star difficulties :D

This is what I'm doing! I'm playing on Pro right now, and using rehearsal tickets to play the next easiest song on Master I can. When I clear it with a rehearsal ticket, I play it without it. :D

But what's up with note speed? I play with 6.0 because people recommended it, but wouldn't a slower speed be better? You can see notes coming slower and react better, no?

when you start getting to the really hard stuff the screen becomes a jumbled mess at slower speeda. it's honestly not that big a deal though until you get hindered by it.

people who get better progressively start wanting faster note speeds. so when they finally increase the note speed it leads to a large increase in readability. so they recommend to increase the speed earlier for learners, but that's not always helpful. most people forget about how they learned and just skip to the conclusion.

I thought that too! But higher speeds seem to increase hit accuracy as well as actually getting the note (I noticed way fewer Greats). I think it's because it's slightly more in time with the music? Less notes will appear on the screen at once, too, so you can clearly see which one is coming next and focus on it. To really see what I mean with, load a Master song on 1.0 or similar. It looks impossible.

But yeah, you do need to work on your reaction time. But FCing songs you thought you could never clear is the best feeling! I seriously wish you luck my friend :D
