Look at it this way: There's a bullet headed towards you. It is a threat to you, and you should dodge it. As soon as you get out of its path, it is no longer a threat... So forget about it. Now that you have moved, you should focus on (A) the bullet whose path you have just moved into or (B) the next aimed bullet that should be coming your way, if it's aimed danmaku.
>But there's my problem. I focus on what's aimed at me then I lose track of everything else so I often dodge right into fire that's heading away from me.
What kind of dodging are you doing? All hitboxes are tiny, you're going to have to tap the movement keys a little bit and you're out of the way.
>I know you said I should take my eyes off the threat bullets to judge the rest of the screen, but then I lose track of everything else
It seems like you just have attention deficiency and awful situational awareness. idk how to fix the former, but the latter can be trained.
When the barrage is fired, just take note of the bullet's speed and direction and keep it in mind.
See pic related, whatever is in red is a threat and you should move. As you move away, the yellow ones "turn red" as you get closer to their path and they become more of a threat. Your focus zone is the light blue box, and the larger one is your awareness box. The focus box is usually fixed in size, while the awareness box grows bigger or smaller depending on the danmaku pattern and density of bullets.
