Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

I completed Pants with one hand... same as some other Guru songs.

Four fingered. Actually, if you think about it, four-fingered play is more stamina draining and cramp inducing then if a person used one finger from both hands.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

look i know that lots of people play four finger, but to me it just feels like i have an unfair advantage

Its not a unfair advantage. most everyone has the capability to play with four fingers, if you chose to play with two then thats your problem.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

Yeah and no trills on index either. Still, Spread is the best style. And i really think that because it seperates your hands so they're not smushed together, and lets you tap the keys harder, i think. I've been four fingered also so i'm not really biased.

EDIT: Not to mention Shash and Baha are perfect examples why spread is best

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

i play one hand (i guess that's called index, right?) I've been trying to learn four finger, but i always end up struggling and resorting back to index. I've gotten pretty good at it though, so no complaints here.

Index is using your index fingers, you kinda peck the keys.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

Four finger sucks :P You should feel guilty because it is basically double setup which IS cheating. xD

Real mans use one hand. Real mans are in danger of instinction. We need to save them. One hand FTW

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

oh, well in that case, i don't index. My setup is right-handed:

index finger - left key
middle finger - up and down key
ring finger - right key

I think playing with one hand provides such a great challenge, and it feels good to be able to play songs with 16th streams and your nailing large combos, that's an accomplishment. But then again, i admire watching large songs (dragonforce, emerald sword, etc) where there's a large stream and fast speed, that's where two handed comes in (which i haven't mastered yet). But i'm content with 1-hand.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

I usually play 4-finger, since my keyboard is so weird that it can't handle me pushing more than four keys when they're not arrow keys, so I can only do hard songs that way, but I can PA easy songs, especially ones with lots of jumps, slightly better with spread. I don't feel guilty for playing this way, I'm usually against playing in a way where I don't feel I can do my best, except for some occasional fun.

one hand = carpal tunnel syndrome at one point or another.
index = more imitating DDR
spread = TRUE ffr playing

i myself play index, but spread is how FFR is made to be played basically, as all the new songs that have been coming in lately, and probably all future ones are meant for the skilled spread player.

IF you play one handed or index i recommend you to learn spread at one point or another to keep up. or be like me and only play FFR once in a while, go outside and have fun and stay in touch with the forums and the FFR Profile commenting system. works for me

but yeah, spread owns ffr.

The best dam explanation that has been given. No more required.

thanks

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

index/one hand sux at the point of speed anyway.

yea they're okay for fun, I myself sometimes do them.
but not being able to play 4 fingers is just a disability.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

Playing with one hand is not all that bad. I play as hard as I can and my hand get somewhat tired after 10 games... no pain.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger

You will never get carpel tunnel if you start at the easier ones and work your way up. and once you get to the hardest ones, you could play without pain.
