How to Improve at Project Sekai

From someone with only 4 expert FCs left and 100 master FCs total.

Disclaimer: I am not an all-knowing deity of rhythm game skill. I am, in fact, just a Girl on the Internet.

I want to say before I get into any advice or suggestions that it's okay if you're not able to play hard, expert, or master. No one in their right mind is going to be upset at you for playing a lower difficulty - your score in this game depends FAR more on your cards than it does your skill.

Keeping a level head is one of the most crucial parts of being able to land that FC/AP, and worrying about how well you're doing or what the other players are thinking if you're in a multi-live will throw you off.

Anyway, on to my advice:

Play a lot, but don't play too much

You've heard "play a lot" before, you'll hear "play a lot" again. No other piece of advice is more important. However, knowing when to stop is just as important.

Becoming frustrated with yourself will make you play worse. Becoming exhausted will also make you play worse. Becoming burnt out on PJSK will kill your ability to play well. In these cases, it's better to stop playing and do something else for a while. How long that while is depends on you.

Try higher difficulties, even if you're missing a lot of notes/dying

The discrepancy between normal and hard, hard and expert, and expert and master, is pretty high. The best way to get used to it is to just jump right into it. There's a filter setting when choosing a song that organizes the song by difficulty, so use that to find the easiest songs and start there.

Increase your scroll speed + make sure your timing adjust is accurate

I've been sitting on a comfortable 10.9 scroll speed for basically my entire time playing this game. Don't set it to anything high immediately, because you will NOT adjust to that quickly. Instead, start from whatever scroll speed you're on now and increase it by .1 every day you play. I would suggest capping it below whatever amount starts becoming too much. (Don't go up to 12, for example, but 11 is probably also a bit much.)

A higher scroll speed allows for easier reading due to the increased amount of space between notes, but too much scroll speed means you won't be able to react. Finding that sweet spot is very important.

Turn off the MV

The MV will make it harder to see the notes, and the additional movement can distract you. It's better to play with it turned off.

Don't use cards with skills that change judgements

This is more of a personal preference, and certainly don't switch out cards that give you a higher event bonus just because they have this skill, but it helps to be able to see if and where you're messing up.

If you do use these cards, don't listen to people who tell you it's "cheating." It's not cheating if it's literally in the game. Speaking of not listening...

Watch someone FC/AP the chart

Specifically, when you encounter a pattern that you just cannot understand, it helps to see how someone else hits it. I struggled so much with dramaturgy master, watched someone else play it for the first time, then full combo'd the next attempt. It helps.

Ignore any and all advice at will, including mine

I'm not kidding, don't feel obligated to listen to anyone. The thoughts and opinions of any other players, regardless of skill level, should not be considered like its an absolute truth. You can go against everything I listed - keep your MV on, play at 5 scroll speed, use only cards that change judgements. Have your timing adjust at -10 for some reason. Literally go crazy and play as absurdly as you want. If you're not having fun with it, what's the point?

If you do choose to listen to me, then I hope my advice will help you. Regardless, I wish you well on your path to improving, gaining you more crystals to get that card of your most special blorbo
