Take me off the list if you want. Let me explain.

Today I found that what was holding me back average rank-wise were basically all the songs that require fast mash, moreso than skill and accuracy.

So, I switched my layout from the default to m,./ and two-handed mashed the following songs to improve ranking along with the results shown below.

HELLBEAT m,./ mash
went from 3955 to 1524

Frictional Nevada 2774 to 1626

Crowdpleaser 3620 to 3360

Molto Vivace 2975 to 1477

The Adventures Of Lolo
2326 to 360

AIM Anthem 1588 to 1077

Reality 2182 to 884

One Minute Waltz 2050 to 959

Eclipse (Solar) 2160 to 1543

Death Piano 1641 to 840

Scythe of 13 905 to 600

Going On Spring Wind 1190 to 559

Eradication 1321 to 667

As you can see, most of those are quite significant rank drops.

For the fun songs I use one-handed though. I only did that for the average rank drop to get me under 1000 so I could get the token.

Now I understand why some people do so much better than me at certain of the hardest songs multiplayer. They're not better than me skill or accuracy-wise, but simply they choose 11s or 12s and mash them. It also makes a lot of sense now why their lifebars would be so much worse than mine and yet they still win overall. It's from the boos from mashing and from the huge bonus from a better combo.

Alright, so I have concluded that one-handed play is best for skill, accuracy, and just plain fun whereas two-handed mash is best for the ridiculous stuff.

I'm still going to primarily play one-handed. Only things I'm not doing it on are the mashfests, specifically for that purpose.
