FFR Playstyles
 

Under temporary halt on updates until a few days after 11/17. Feel free to keep posting.

Welcome to the FFR Player's Handstyles List: Updated to post #283

First off, I would like to link you all to the FFR Playing Style and Hand Position Guide by Zageron. It will tell you the basics of the various playstyles on FFR. This thread is only designed to list who plays what style. Both our threads are still in the making process, so if the community would lend us a hand, we would be grateful. Suggest, Criticize, all that.

The list is divided into 6 categories based on the number of hands, and the number of fingers. These 6 categories are further divided if there are common names for certain kinds of playstyles (spread, index etc.). If you haven't done so already, SUBMIT PLEASE!

Purposes
-get the general sense of what styles are used most often
-be able to find new users who share the same style you do
-discover radical and inventive styles to make FFR challenging and fun
-possibly weed out unknowing newbies who are playing double setup
-DO NOT START PLAYSTYLE FLAME WARS. Informative statements are welcome, but not aggressive ones.

Note:
-only submit one (your main) playstyle, unless if you use one as much as the other.
-don't use shift/capital letters/symbols.
-if you change your playstyle, say so
-don't state any "i used to play..." or "i will learn..."
-multiple styles will only be admitted if you can get relatively decent scores with both styles OR the style is extremely difficult/uncommon (no "I will get better/I used to".)
-keys and fingers always come in ←↓↑→ order
-differentiate between numpad and keyboard numbers by saying num2 instead of 2
-for arrow keys, use ←↓↑→
-when submitting finger placement with multiple keys for one finger, state both directions before the assigned finger (↓↑ R index)
-when submitting finger placement with multiple fingers for one key, separate the fingers with a slash (LR index) (R index/middle) (L index/R middle)

How to submit: Easiest way is to just state a different username on the list that has the same style as you do.

If you don't find anyone like that:

simple format (for those that belong in a pre-existing subsection)
name linked to FFR Profile [key format] subsection name

detailed format (for those that have new/uncommon styles)
name linked to FFR Profile #hands #fingers [key format] (finger placement) links to details if necessary

Examples:
dooty 7 - qqwref
Xx{Midday}xX - [z x . /] index middle spread
Infinity. - 24 [← ↓ ↑ →] (L index, LR index, L index/middle, R ring) details

They will appear as listed below.

FFR Playstyle List Total: 149
Ctrl+F a username/key format to find what you're looking for.
* indicates a person with multiple setups.

Any suggestions/corrections, just post. Includes playstyle names and such. Math errors too, if you're bored.

in conclusion: SPREAD THE WORD! This thread is meaningless without most of the active users on it.

Improvements
I would like to add the following:

How to:
-screencut
-zoom
-enlarge (arrekusu93's script)
-set speedmod
-set scroll
-set modfiers
-glossary
-keymap (with as much keyboard info as possible)

Speedmod
-SM cmod
-FFR xmod
-screencut/window size
-alt account difference

Modifiers
-FFR mods
-SM mods
-alt account difference

Scroll
-general scroll
-alt account difference

The alt account difference will encourage people to try out new settings on alt accounts, and try to record accomplishments with these new settings.

User list data
-username
-handstyle
-scroll
-speedmod
-additional mod

What do you think? Yes, this will take an ENORMOUS amount of time to efficiently organize, but I'm willing to do it so long as people submit、and yes, the submitting will become tedious too.

If I add all of these things to this thread, I would like the thread title to be changed to something more suitable, and I would like this to be stickied.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

I think this is right, the instructions for submitting kind of confused me:

Commandersa1 - 2 hands 4 fingers: [Left/Down arrow keys, 8/6 on num pad (L Ring, L Middle, R Middle, R Ring)

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Well. I guess I have to say that I now play spread. Wasn't that way a week ago.. But yeah.

iluswirl - 24 [a s k l] (L middle, L index, R index, R middle) spread

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Submissions don't have to be perfect, so long as I get the info I need.

Corrected:

Commandersa1 - 24 [← ↓ num8 num6] (L Ring, L Middle, R Middle, R Ring) spread

Made it less confusing.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

2 hand 2 finger... index... yea lol you get the picture.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

cool idea....don't know if others will go for it although it might reduce the number of "Wat Stylez do you Plays wit?!?!?" threads :P

anyways I am spread [z x , .] (L middle L index R Index R Middle)

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

EnR - [← ↓ 8 6]

Middle Index

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Infinity. - 2,4

Left index hits left arrow, hits up and down depending on the pattern
Right index hits down arrow sometimes, not often
Right middle hits up arrow almost all the time
Right ring hits right arrow all the time

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Pretty basic spread for me. I like the idea of this topic, though, I'm really interested in seeing all the different styles people use.

qqwref - 24 [z x , .] (L middle, L index, R index, R middle) index middle spread

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

speeddemon - 12 [← ↓ ↑ →] (R index, R index/R middle, R index/R middle, R middle) 1 hand, 2 fingers

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Clipso - (q w [ ]), (L middle, L index, R index, R middle), Index Middle Spread

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

It would be most appreciated if we can expand the list through signature advertisement (link is on my sig). The list is really worthless unless if we get most of the active users on the site.

I'm going to assume that the first thread failed because:
terrible organization - i solved that im sure.
no participation - maybe my submission format is still complicated?

=(

I see a lot of people just passing through this thread without submitting. I wonder what could be the problem?

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Added it to my signature, hope this thread takes off. :)

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Ok, I'll post this again.

But on the list put the first one on.

EDIT: Some extra details on my first style:

- AlWAYS used left middle finger for left arrow key, right middle for right key.
- Up used by the middle fingers, depending on pattern. I always alternate hands, so if the last arrow was pressed by my left hand and the next arrow is up, I press up key with my right middle finger, and vice-versa.
- For down arrow key it's the same thing as previous point, but instead of LEFT MIDDLE, it's LEFT INDEX.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

I'm assuming you use arrow keys.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

For me it's (a s w d) two hands using two index fingers. In other words index style.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles
 

Index Middle Spread: (L middle, L index, R index, R middle)
