The Oculus Quest is the best virtual reality headset on the market right now. The all-in-on package brings all users an experience that is unrivaled by any other consumer headset on the market right now.
Just last week, Oculus announce that they had made over $5 million from the Quest content sales. This is in no small part thanks to Beat Saber. This game has been a hit on every single headset that it appears on. There have been millions of players throughout the world slice their way through customs and downloadable songs through this great game. Although the common user does not keep track of his score and is more focused on finishing the song, once you get more hours into the game, you start to shoot for higher scores.
The scoring on Beat Saber seems simple enough. All you need to do is slice the blocks and be savvy with your light saber, and you get the best score, right? Wrong. Once more people start playing your game, there are more tips and tricks added to the world for your game. Beat Saber is no exception.
It has recently come to light that the best way to achieve a high score on this game is through the direction and technique of your swing. Not the perfect timing that most everyone thinks about. If you look at the video below, you can see how the scoring on Beat Saber actually works. This video is applied to every version of the game on all headsets. Although it has been tweaked a little bit, the same idea remains the same. Have a perfect swing, and achieve a perfect score.
Here is the modified scoring:
- Swing angle before cut – 100 degrees ideally
- Swing angle after cut – 60 degrees ideally
- Center cut – closer to center of arrow means earns additional points
Although many people do not know this because they are simply not good enough at the game to understand how the scoring works yet, there are letter grades above an A. S and SS are above an A, and they are achieved by having a steady combo and the ideal cut technique throughout the entire song. This is very hard to maintain a mini cannot do it, so if you do it is something to celebrate.
If you are looking to be a master at this popular game, and somewhat of a party trick, check out the practice mode that can be activated by tapping the graduation icon near the name of the song. You can play parts of the song back, go in slow motion to get them down, and even fast forward to your favorite parts of the song. This feature is underrated and under used.
