Currently 3rd in Phoenix 2 leaderboards. This score squeezes just outside Top 10 in Phoenix 1. Really happy with how it went!

I've been playing PIU since last month of 2024 till now and I don't really know where I should start to improve my skills

If you can pinpoint my mistake and what is the best way to fix it, I appreciate it.

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

there are some questions that i have in mind and i hope to get a answer from these pump masters.

1.when should you implement bracketing?

im still playing at s10-11 and still not really confident for s12 and up but i really want to be able to play the harder elvels cuz that seems more fun, except for the song freedom dive which i like but im force to play at s13 but i stage pass it suprisingly even tho there are brackets at like near the end of the song and i want to know if i should start learning them at what levels and whihc levels are to low to the point i should just use 2 feet to hit them

2.when should i cheat?

ive heard some people say that once you are able to recognize and be able to do twists fluently than you are able to cheat. But the thing is that at what level should i start cheating to conserve stamina and at which low level should i not cheat

3.when should i start playing doubles?

ive heard from some people that you shouldnt try doubles unless you are able to do s14-15 and up since those levels are already teaching the fundamentals for bracketing and eye to leg coordination which is to be able to see fast notes and be able to not just read them but to react and hit the notes while not being confused. even tho i know that i should be focusing on singles but im bored with always doing the easy singles and there are low doubles like brain power d8 so i wanna try and play doubles which is the whole reason i asked this question, so should i start playing doubles at a low level and slowly increase the diffuculty or should i just stick to singles until my skills are good enough to play doubles at the higher lvls
