practice regimen

[jasonBuffa]

So I've recognized a few key areas that my play is really lacking to improve. First, since my finesse is really bad, I grabbed nullpomino with the finesse error counter. Basically I've just been doing sprints until I hit my first finesse error, then restarting. Doing this alone is a good thing I'd think...

Then, I realized that I overuse the hold key a lot to compensate for bad stacking. This lead me to just unbind my hold key as part of my practice. Should I master finesse, then practice holding less, or is it alright to deal with both of these problems at the same time?

I think working on both at the same time is great.  Finesse is very important.   I'd say its the strongest thing to learn earliest

My current goal is to reach 1-minute 40-line sprints. (Slow compared to most people around here, but one step at a time...)

A 1-minute 40-line sprint is roughly 100-pieces per minute. Therefore, if I drop at this rate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GFTNEbu2FU, I should be able to get close to 1-minute sprint times.

For all those people going for 30-seconds, that'd be a 200-piece per minute rhythm, which sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgk8AfY1u40

And to reach 20-seconds, you need 300-bpm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwoBEcYzCPA
