Hands slippery

[FFRGreen]

Anyone else's hands slip if they play a 8 and up song? Its really annoying and I can't play that well and I was wondering if anyone else's hands does that.

[AsphyxZero]

Honestly, yeah. Sometimes I'll be playing something and I'll accidentally hit "." instead of "l" and I'll get a miss.

Really pisses me off, especially when I'm whoring for an AAA/good score.

What happens to me a lot is that the tips of my fingers are wet and sticky like they have lotion on them and then when I'm doing a fast file with very little breaks I can't change position or dry of my fingertips so yeah....... turns into a mess after

I always start to get cross-eyed :/

[Magooskie]

Haha, The cross-eyed thing happens to me when I'm playing while laying down, I think if you just play in a cold or cool environment then you won't have the slippery problems.

My biggest problem is that my hands sometimes go HERP DERP and freeze up when I'm doing well.

If you do that everytime you play an 8+ song that's pretty weird.

I've never missed the keys when playing spread. Not even sure how I would accomplish missing the keys if you never move your fingers away from being directly over each key.

However when I play index I will rarely hit the edge of a key and it can mess me up. Index at high speeds such as 260+ bpm 16ths can be quite dangerous. I remember back in 2005 I actually slipped and collided my index fingers and cut my index finger with my nail and bled on my keys. Stupid crossovers -_-;

Now I cut my nails before I play.

I have to keep my nails super short or I can't play right at all.

[LoneW0lf]

Nails should be short regardless but I agree shorter nails do feel better when playing.

[Patashu]

I used to slip and start hitting the wrong keys, I don't do it much atm though

maybe your posture is poor

also yes, cut nails if they're long

[OneHandNow]

wow how do people slip while playing o_o

i never mess up unless i choke in a fast section (ex. 32nds, constant jumps)

I tend to let mine grow out. For jacking/vibrating I use my nails because they're a harder surface. Fingers slightly absorb impact, so nails usually make me vibrate a little faster

All of the above. But my eyes kind of just zoom in and out and they have to refocus a lot so that's where my eyes go bad.

The hands freezing happened when I was playing Vertex Beta earlier and I nearly threw my laptop >.>

[psychoangel691]

I slip up all the time especially on this keyboard. I'm not used to such a flat keyboard and I tend to end up on keys below my setup lol.

[Sweet_Feet]

I tend to zone out so much so that I realize I can't focus on my screen (almost like blurry vision) but I'm still doing really well. As soon as I try to snap out of it and focus on the screen I hit a good or two.
I don't slip but I'm pretty sure I get occasional problems with what Dossar mentioned on trying to adjust finger position

[133754UC3]

I very rarely slip, and it only really happens on songs that have fast and long streams.

Where I run into hand problems is on sections that go from a very fast roll/burst etc, (something that I have to play as a jump trill as fast as I can) and then go directly into a stream. After I get through the burst my fingers 'freeze up', and it's really hard for me to go back to hitting each note separately.

This only really happens on parts where I actually have to trill as fast as I possibly can, though.

[ScaryArrows..]

I remember with my older keyboard when I would play it would VERY SLOWLY move up on my desk and eventually start to slip under the part of the desk where the monitor stands and I would either:

a)Wait for a break to bring it back to Its normal spot.

b)Deal with it =/

[UnkownMan]

It hasn't happened to me. I just choke during a run and mess up my combo. Not fun, no.

[TheSaxRunner05]

I don't slip often, but mainly I just miss stuff when its too fast for me to do.
Sometimes I'll get a random average or miss for realizing too late that there was an arrow there, or just losing focus.

[reuben_tate]

I occasionally slip when doing long and fast trills. =/
