Are 1 Handers Prone To Be More Accurate?

**SaSSyBiiTcH** · 10-13-2007, 09:54 AM

I just thought about this...
Are 1 handers' prone to be more accurate Vs. A 2 HANDER? I noticed most 1 handers' have better PA than me & I was thinking maybe it's just simple logic.
Like on doubles/jumps, and jacks for example...aren't they using 1 finger to hit both keys @ the exact same time? Im a dedicated 2 hander (3 finger/regular) and i've tried 1 handing but I could feel the symptoms of carpal tunnel , so I gave up on that rather quickly. Using 2 hands on those steps.. your prone to be off by a bit. It's not as easy hitting those keys with 2 fingers ( 1 on each hand) EXACTLY on point. I know THAT takes skill.
But what do you guys think? Is it just skill or is technique involved? Has anyone else ever noticed this?

WRONG. SPREAD is to be "more" accurate than any style. One handing is one of the complicated styles that make it hard for us to get accurate.

Think of it as this, Person A and B start playing FFR/SM at the same time. Person A decides spread would be a good style whilst Person B decides one handing would be easier. 2 months later Person A can FC "Challenging" songs whilst Person B can only FC "Tricky" songs. This shows you that we have a slower improvement than other styles.. (In a broad perspective)

No, but some people like to use their middle finger to hit both the up and down keys.. I never heard of hitting two keys with one finger before, I always hit my jumps with two fingers..
(Leaving out "up" and "down" out of the picture.)

One hand=3 fingers..

In some cases, people use their middle finger to hit the up and down jumps, but I do not.

Well, I happen to play both now (1hand/spread), and spread is definitely more accurate.
If you don't think that you're accurate enough using two hands, your hand coordination could be off, that's what happened to me when I started spread (couldn't hit lefty trills at all, lol)

Hitting two arrows with one finger? Wut...
That'd probably be hard for me. Do you have large fingers, by chance? xD

**freakysnots** · 10-13-2007, 10:17 AM

Impossible to PA with one hand.

End of story.

Engler · 10-13-2007, 10:21 AM

We could start a heated discussion on which position gives you the best PA, but I'll think I'll just unofficially end this thread by saying that spread players have the best PA on some songs, whereas indexers have the best PA on other songs. I can assure you, however, that people that play with one hand generally have worse PA than 2-handers.

Kekeb · 10-13-2007, 10:23 AM

If i play a really easy song 1 handed I'm prone to better PA. Not sure why, that's just how i am. With harder songs, it's too hard to tell.

Well I asked a few 1 Hander's their technique & 2 of them said that for most doubles/jumps the use one finger. And then I was like "Oh maybe thats why you have a good PA & timing.'' It was just a random thought but now I'm realizing that it's less likely than I first assumed.

& Yes I have eggplant fingers

Thanks You guys!

BTW! So I take it spread is really worth a shot...
How long did it take you 'spreaders' to re-learn & perfect your technique?

I can bet you that it didn't take a long time for them. ("Long time"=1 year)

It took a total of 3 or 4 days for me to get used to spread... I improved a lot within those 4 days. If you don't have SM get it, will improve your spread accuracy.

Yeah I know, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were newbies.

They probably didn't configure the "style" correctly.
In other words, they've made it harder for themselves..

ledwix · 10-13-2007, 10:38 AM

no. look at the vids of raikou rider. he has really good MA for a one hander (some of the best in his category). however, it's only okay for a spread player, and tons can beat it. there's simply no correlation in that one-handers have to constantly minijack in streams (i think...lol) (causing less accuracy) where spreaders flow smoothly through them. then of course, as you approach higher speeds, it becomes increasingly difficult for a one hander to be accurate.

True. Let's change it to 'Veteran 1 Handers'...I didn't mean the newb 1 handers. Woops D:

*Edit- Im aware that Spreaders have the best accuracy but im saying a vet 1 hander Vs. a 2 hander*

You don't have any evidence to prove so.

P.S. via your EDIT: A one-hander has a lesser chance at winning, no matter what. Unless a spread player is of only 2 months of experience, then the one-hander might have some contest.

Prove what exactly? Spread accuracy? Or...?

To PROVE their YEARS of EXPERIENCE.

P.S. That is why I removed words out of its context to explain to you of what I am answering. That's why we QUOTE other people, so that THEY can understand of what WE are ANSWERING. [/flame]

one hand, coming from my past experience, does provide some spectacular stream speed. just not trills and jumpstream.

Spread is a lot more convenient. It's hard to do streams with 3 fingers in conclusion.

shantred · 10-13-2007, 11:48 AM

I used to play one hand and play spread now. Once I switched to spread, I was finally able to play some more difficult songs, and even more accurate at the not-so-hard ones.

korny · 10-13-2007, 11:56 AM

I would say indexers technically have the best timing when you really think about it. Unless it's an index unfriendly song. A really good indexer has amazing timing.
