42684 pattern

What's the best way to do it?

[Bahamut-X]

Hit the arrows in that order.

you have no idea how much that made me laugh.

It's a crossover.. If you play 4 finger it's no problem.. Index I used to do left finger for left, right finger down, right finger right, left finger up, then left finger left. I played weird, I know.

I think he meant on a pad.

The best way I can think of is to spin. Left on 4, right on 2, left on 6 (crossover), then pivot on your left and hit 8 with your right, then go back to 4 with your left.

Of course, what good is my word around here? >_<

As long as you can set yourself up for it, the best way is hit 4 with your right, 2 with your left, 6 with your right, 8 with your left, and 4 with your right. You will have to start and end with a crossover though, so you have to either already be positioned or have enough time to set up for it.

If not, then either a spin (igotrythm's post), which I think is the most fun, or, there is another way that will work decently. 4 with your left, 2 with your right, 6 with your left, completing the first normal crossover. To hit the 8, change the way you're turning (turn counterclockwise to hit this one) and hit 8 with your right, and then 4 with your left. It's hard to get used to and it feels weird, but sometimes it's easier than doing a spin.

And then there's always double stepping. It's not a good habit to get into, but for songs like Daikenkai, the ability to double step is a necessity. 4 with left, 2 with right, 6 with right, 8 with left, 4 with left.

It all depends on how fast the song is and what is before and after (but mostly before) the 42684.

A good bit of Daikenkai can be completed using really weird spin patterns. However, you're right. Double-stepping -- Or shuffling, as it's also known -- can get to be a problem if you get too used to it. It hinders a lot of style while you're playing and, in my opinion, takes away from the experience sometimes.

Run around in a circle.

Slide your feet along the pad. You can hit all the arrows and look like an idiot at the same time... But it is accurate and gets the job done.
