Parcticing with host_timescale
6 years ago
Québec

Would it be a good idea to start parcticing with a low host_timescale, get the trick you're trying to perform a few times and gradually augment the host_timescale until you're at host_timescale 1?

Would it help me or actually just do the opposite?

Thanks in advance!

this is a very subjective topic:

some like to practice in slow motion

however they struggle doing it in real time

and others like to do pieces of the trick before doing it all at once

however they struggle to put it all together in real time

no one can really determine what method helps you practice better, so you'll just have to try yourself.

Alright! Thanks for the quick response!

It personally helped me when i was trying to get the Bridge the Gap CM strat down. If I got it right like 3 times in a row i would up the timescale by 0.1. It can be helpful to get started on some stuff.

Bill did the same thing I did after I told him how I went about it, starting with timescale 0.3 or so and moving it up by 0.1 once I got the movement three times in a row. I had no hope in getting the proper order of movement down by just going straight to real-time, but lowering timescale helped massively in spacing it out to learn what input happens when. In the course of that one night I went from not having a hope at 1 to topping out at completing it at 1.8.

Not sure if this would work for all strategies, but at least those with quick inputs definitely helps for me. Just move to another timescale quickly before you get too used to a low one and you should be fine.
