[Hakulyte]

- Play song normally.
- Play song without sound if music is unbearable over concentration to AAA.
- Play song on mirror if chart is more friendly on other side.
- Play song with different noteskin if lol background.
- Play while taping keys hard.
- Play while taping keys lightly.
- Play while trying to hit keys early.
- Play while trying to hit keys late.
- Isolate file on an Engine and play X section tons of time until fix.
- Identify patterns that cannot be AAAd due to mental blocks/lack of skills.
- Play while trying to separate patterns in a different manner. @ Nova Pulser mini-jacks can be AAAd a lot more easier by seeing the patterns as staircases.
- Consider using a 2nd style like index or key setup(scissor spread? QSLP?) where keys are closer/farther.
- If you're really close but keep derping consider taking a good night of sleep, eating well or whatever and coming back in better shape. There's also usually a peak during the day where you may play slightly better, it may be just good enough to make you get that lucky AAA.

If mental blocks:

- Separate patterns even further mentally and fix it/mirror it again/play songs randomly to slightly forget the chart and hope you randomly nail it/turn off sound to avoid associating music with a pattern.

- Play the song 200+ times until you reach a point where you don't care anymore about how good you do to kill any form of stress/pressure. This may be useful to get over stupid things like being stressed over a token unlock such as Otaku[Oni].

- Play with autofail 0-1-1-1-1 for a while, note where you mess up and why.
- Take off autofail later because that's only temporary useful.

- Stop playing that song and come back to it later if everything seems to fail.

If lack of skills

Try to find ways to compensate lack of skills @ jumptrilling/hit as hand/keep stamina and attack the hard pattern/keeping hands close to keys for fast trills etc.

If it still fail

- Stop FFR, play Stepmania and come back later.

Repeat process.
