when i come up to ^v combos, i flatten my middle finger and hit both at the same time.

<^V>

1 = Left Hand Middle
2 = Left Hand Index
3 = Right Hand Index
4 = Right Hand Middle

But I suck, so, =P.

i would do that but it slow my hand down from being able to do 800 BPM to about 300 BPM for about 4 seconds

Yeah, that's called "arch0wl-style". I play that way too, its a lot easier than the other ways. Now to finish this:

ONE HANDED:

<\/^>
1 2 3 4

1=right index
2=right middle
3=right middle
4=right ring

TWO HANDED #1:

<\/^>
1 2 3 4

1=left middle
2=left index
3=right index
4=right middle

TWO HANDED #2:

<\/^>
1 2 3 4

1=left middle
2=right index
3=left index
4=right middle

ARCH0WL STYLE:

Left index representing left foot on DDR pad and right index representing right foot on DDR pad. Play with fingers as you would playing DDR.

"i would do that but it slow my hand down from being able to do 800 BPM to about 300 BPM for about 4 seconds"
i only do it if its during a slow part in a song, or a slow song at all, or when its the only ^v for a while. if not, i do index and middle, sideways, on ^ and v. (fig. 1.)

___
|^_| =right middle, on hard songs.
___
|v | = right index, on hard songs.

I don't think anyone does it like i do, it's really kinda weird
I play 2 handed, but with my left hand, i only use my left index finger, up is middle r, down is index r, right is ring r

[dancingmaniac3]

i tried playing like that before...it works for a while then i automatically switch back to my normal right hand postition...its just normal for me

[Lupin_the_3rd]

once it becomes a habit though, it's so hard to try something new (at first)

[dancingmaniac3]

yeah thats right. i cant try something...i tried arch's way but it doesnt work

[Takisho]

Just do it however it feels best. I mean I hate it when I've been doing something one way, and then someone shows me the "correct" way to do it, when really I do a hell of a lot better doing it the "wrong" way. Know what I mean?

[dancingmaniac3]

yeah...its the "correct" way when you can get a high score by doing it...and its the "wrong" way when...well, actually, there isnt a wrong way. only u are the judge if its right or wrong.

[Anticrombie0909]

Arch is friggin crazy man...two index fingers? Yet good as hell? Dunno how he does it...

[dancingmaniac3]

i know how he does it...practice.

[Reach]

2 index fingers is a pwnage setup dude.

actually its my favorite.

cause its fun as hell, you can hit really fast arrows and you don't get tired. you can also hit basically every arrow patten with ease...except turn/spin stuff which can be really annoying.

being good 1 handed is the most impressive. and anyone who thinks 1 handed is easier because of 3 fingers is wrong. very wrong.

[NightMaster]

i use:
n: left middle
m: left index
.: right index
/: right middle

[TeH_KrAzY_RoMaNiAn]

i tryed something like that but couldnt get used to it
