What style do you use to play FFR?

[KH Luxord]

I play spread. I am finally getting used to playing it. But, enough about me. Now, I want to know what style you play:

Spread
Two Hands (4 fingers on arrows)
Two Hands (3 fingers)
Two Hands (2 fingers)
Two Hands (4 fingers - 2 fingers on arrows (left and down), 2 fingers on NumPad (up and right (8 and 6))
One Hand (4 fingers -- which I find very difficult to play)
One Hand (3 fingers)
One Hand (2 fingers)
One Hand (1 finger -- Don't even know how some people play like this)
Mouse (Very Very Very Difficult to play FFR with)


*EDIT* There should be a poll, but the forums just screwed it up.

I play 3 fingers (hasn't failed me yet) Though there are limitations with 3 fingers

[snow2skate]

I play with 1 hand with 3 fingers also. Yeah they're are limitations, But all the more challenges to overcome . And you can impress people a lot more being able to do the songs with 3 fingers.

One hand 3 fingers...Woot

[leadafro]

I play-one hand 3 fingers,INDEX,all sorts of 4 finger set ups and Spread.
I hate playing on a ps2 controller,and About the mouse...does that count as a style?I mean who can get jumps with one mouse?

Edit-and to you noobs out there that think they'll be just fine with the one hand 3 finger technique...well your wrong.I think a true master will go to the limitation with all styles.I mean I would not call myself a master but I have been down the 1 hand 3 finger path.I played for 2 years before I learnd Index and it was a month ago that I just learnd all thease other techniques.They are all very useful,and they variate from person to person.Take my advice trying other techniques will only make you better at this game.I know some of you guys will be like "man its too confuseing"or "I'm to retarted to use my fingers like this."or"I tried it and I'm doing worse than with my one hand 3 finger style."Well yeah you most likely will be better at the style you played at first because it is like learning how to play over again,except one thing....Your arrow reading skills are the same.Just take your time and learn.It took me 4 days just to get decent scores when i learned somthing new.I could do it so,so can you guys.Anyway this game is about fun so have fun with it!

Have the click wheel on the mouse assigned to do a mouse click when you roll it one bump.
And move the mouse side to side while rolling the wheel at different speeds?

lol, That would be something to see.

Meh, for me it's that I just don't care to take the time to train my mind to make my hands ambidextrous lol. If I use 2 hands, they like to mimic each other.

Not everyone cares about being a MASTA. Some people just want to have fun so they go with whats comfortable.

read everyhing next time thnx.and yes I know the feeling of mimicing hands.it took me a while befor I got it.I think you'll come around to trying it.just dont give up.I'm not ambidextrous and I learned.

[D!LL]

Index left hand, middle right hand.


I"m weird.
I suck at spread, and i've never tried the three fingers one hand thing.
ANd I don't think I will.
I'll probably work on spread.

And as for what LEAD said.
Just have fun with it.
Rock it wit' da' afro brudda'.

[sarahxjane]

One hand, three fingers ( sometimes four )

[Mitchtyler]

Most of the time one hand 2 fingers, sometimes mouse and 1 finger.

[irishknight]

1 hand 3 fingers.. I've heard you get more enjoyment playing that way but that's just my opinion.

[mike2727]

1 hand 3 fingers xD

[jellygod]

index ftw :P

[eastsideman09]

i started with index, then i felt two-hand, three fingered was one hell of alot better.... it just seemed more comfortable..... recently, ive been playing spread too....

leadafro is right, try out the different styles, broaden your horizens.... all different types of styles are sure to have their own benefits (except the mouse.... lol)
