Vanilla garbage phenomenon

I don’t know what it is, but there is something so wrong with the vanilla game. Going from playing modded to playing vanilla is like two completely different iterations of the game.

In vanilla there is the tendency to miss notes that you didn’t miss, or at least feel like you shouldn’t have, from your perspective the note was right in your face yet somehow you swing too early? It creates the illusion that you just swing through blocks.

At first I just chalked it up to JDfixer, I play on 480ms but playing on 500ms vanilla is completely different, surely 20ms won’t make any different to timing, because it’s an imperceivable measure of time. Everything is just so sluggish and feels awful to play, reading is for some reason a bit harder, not sure if that’s map quality or what, notes seem much bigger ect.

I think it might be jump speed, it’s uncomfortably slow, and the blocks seem to be too big to the point you can’t see all the notes by just looking forward? I don’t know, there is just something off about it, and it’s even more confusing when mods don’t change anything but (in my case at least) access to custom songs and qosmetics as well as in depth jump distance modification.
