The problem is that some positions are more conducive to speed than others. If you record what your hands are doing during fast/difficult sections, I guarantee you'll be embarrassed. Watch people on YT doing difficult songs well and you'll notice they aren't flailing around wildly -- but are usually calm, collected, and mechanical.

An analogy might be Max 300 on foot. Most people when they start out usually hit their feet hard, flail their legs around retardedly, clutch the bar for dear life, gasp for air, and still suck. Watch the pros today and they all basically yawn their way through the song, barely moving or breaking a sweat, and eventually pump out a near-AAA or AAA without much effort. It's all in the way you play.

Years ago, most people played Stepmania/DWI/etc using the standard arrow keys (watch almost any old video from the early 2000's) and basically sucked until they decided to evolve to spread-play, which partially solved the hand-bunching problem at the expense of being unable to index more difficult sections (such as one-handed trills or a jack that you could normally use a dominant finger for).

We all develop habits in terms of muscle memory that are difficult to overcome. At the end of the day, if you find you're still not as fast as you'd like, you need to look for where you're wasting unnecessary movements. Recording hands is a good way to see what's going on. You'll usually notice you lock into a weird, awkward angle or you're arching wildly or tapping way too hard/broadly for something that doesn't call for it. It *is* a positioning issue -- it's just a tricky one to solve sometimes.

Thank you for that detailed reply, Marcus. Much appreciated.
The camera will be out first thing tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing whats holding me back and overcoming it.

Edit: Congratulations rushy!

Holy crap speed.
I'm experimenting with hand position. Definite speed improvement. I'm kinda excited now. PA died a little, but still.

Nice Largiloquent Dithyramb or whatever. I wish I could AAA that.

Shikari · 10-28-2010, 03:34 PM

A few easy-song AAAs

HEAVY GET

OneHandNow · 10-28-2010, 03:35 PM

This is a natural effect at first, but the PA will improve once you rebuild the muscle memory.

pedolad · 10-28-2010, 03:45 PM

Depends on the nature of the patterns underlying the heightened speed.
