How to train for SC charts?

[Super]

I've been playing for a while now and can 99% some "maximum" difficult songs but i had so much trouble with even the lowest level of SC. How do I bridge the gap in my ability?

Play maximum charts with the 'Random' modifier on. You'll see new patterns and chords that are in SC.

Sort of a meme answer, but sort of not at the same time: buy and play a bunch of EZ2ON. That way you get to play a lot of easier charts that are designed around keyboard play and get used to the sort of things that SCs expect you to know already.

The biggest weakness in Respect V, imo, is that the jump from MX to SC is not adequately covered in most of the button modes.

there are 2 reasons

1. the difficulty of song is based on the number of star (what is marked on music select display) . so if you clear mx song that is marked few stars, u are not enough to clear sc pattern. when you can clear most of mx 12~13 songs with 99% max combo, u might clear low-level sc song.

2. sc pattern is various than mx pattern. so if u can clear high-level (13~15 stars) mx song but can't do sc song, it is because u are't accustomed to sc pattern. in this case, just try to play more.

i was thinking of trying that game too, also i heard about reading the charts horizontally but i'm having trouble switching my brain to do that. I was way too used to doing repeating patterns with one hand and not worrying about the other side of the chart. Playing with random on now is really kicking my butt.

Playing on Random is a great way to get used to weird patterns that might occure in SCs. Also just playing from the easy SCs up to more difficult ones until you're familiar with the charting for those.

Some advice I like to give people if they're willing to do it: Disrespect your hardware. Don't press keys, HIT them.
But generally, just play more. Slowly raising scroll speed and adapting to it can help with actually reading the charts, if recognizing the harder patterns is part of the stuggle.
