FFR Player's Handstyles

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

Left - Left Index - J
Down - Right Index - K
Up - Right Middle - O
Right - Right Ring - P

Essentially it's a default 2-handed arrow key setup; your hands just have more room.

Tophius- A S K L (L middle, L index, R index, R middle) Spread.

Good 'ol traditional spread.

Hey Midday, what's Japan like? xD

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

Please explain the difference between Hybrid Spread and Middle Ring Spread. I don't really see any differences.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

I play one-handed for easy songs obviously and I play spread for the more difficult songs.

One-handed - Two fingers
Spread - A S K L keys.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

I believe hybrid is when the keys aren't right across from each other.

I could be wrong though.

Please explain the difference between Hybrid Spread and Middle Ring Spread. I don't really see any differences.

Middle ring spread - (L ring)(L middle)(R middle)(R ring)
Hybrid - (L middle)(L Index)(R Middle)(R ring)

EDIT:

One-handed - Two fingers

Which hand do you use? Which fingers? Keys?

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

Should we have names for the 'misc' groups if enough players are gathered?

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

I now play with a new hand style. It's helped me a bit with understanding how to play solo.
Index-Ring Spread (L ring)(L index)(R index)(R ring)
SpammyMcSquirrel - s f j l
It also makes left-hand patters alot easier.

I'm assuming this is replacement.

Also, about solo... you should try playing Lunatic Rave Online.

I play one-handed for easy songs obviously and I play spread for the more difficult songs.

One-handed - Two fingers
Spread - A S K L keys.

You won't be doing easy songs soon enough. In either case, the one handed is not sufficient info.

I'll upload pictures of Akihabara and Nakano Broadway later. No hentai of course. <_<;

As Spammy said, the left hand is different (ring middle vs middle index). However, the official term for hybrid spread is fairly a new entity, so many people may refer to any spread that isn't index middle to be hybrid.

Should we have names for the 'misc' groups if enough players are gathered?

Yes, depends on which misc you're talking about. In the spread misc, no one is exactly the same. the key assignement is differently shaped, despite the synonymous (L index, R index, R middle, R ring) finger placement. However, if you wish to bunch you 3 up, then go ahead. I just need a name.

If you're talking about me, essentially it's traditional 2-handed, just with a slightly different key setup. I wouldn't exactly call it spread, because the arrows are touching. If I could be in Misc, that'd be cool, though.

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

crobins - [← ↓ ↑ →] (L index, R index, R middle, R ring)
lxDestinyxl - [num4 num2 num8 num6] (L middle, R index, R middle, R ring)
tha Guardians - [j k o p] (L index, R index, R middle, R ring)

You three, have the same finger placement with different shaped key arrangement. If you want to name yourselves under the same finger placement, give me a good name for (L index, R index, R middle, R ring)

Re: FFR Player's Handstyles

I used to use 2 hands, 3 fingers. Occasionally, during songs like FotBB I'll switch to index really fast for the trills and switch back—all on JKOP.

Midday, could you explain the point of this thread? Unless it's just to give users an idea of what's popular, easy, etc., I see this thread as a bit pointless.

I hope it doesn't turn in to another, "I use one hand and I'm just as good as you, so actually I'm better than you" threads.

There is a purposes section that answers this.
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

If these purposes are pointless to you, then so be it. I see a point, hence I continue this thread. Some people agree, some people don't. Hence, I will do what I can to make this thread seem purposeful. I have devonin's support.

I hope it doesn't turn in to another, "I use one hand and I'm just as good as you, so actually I'm better than you" threads.

THAT is solely up to the community. It is of my concern that I continue with what I started this thread for, and so I will act accordingly if such disgust were to start in my thread. However, it is not I who starts such disgust, but the community. Tell the community, not me.

i play classical spread ftw.

Whatever "classical" spread is. key arrangements please, assuming you're index middle spread.

OHEMGEE, Devonin, really!!??!1!?¿!?
lol

I respect this thread. I'm definitely not against it.
I still don't see the point to this thread, in that I don't think playing style is a large concern.

It certainly couldn't hurt to have something like this, though.
However, it's just a matter of time before this becomes a technique war. Index vs. Spread vs. One Hand, etc.
