My bizarre, inventive playing style

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

I used to kind of play like that.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

Using your middle/ring finger is about the most ineffective style you could use, since they're both connected to the same tendon. You're fighting your own human anatomy, not FFR >.>

I kid you not when I say I'm going to take this into serious consideration. I've played middle/ring on both hands since I first started. Slowly I've just upped the speed mod and after a while it's just been working. But I've somehow hit a bump.

I'm not going to lie my hands have felt like they're just not working with me sometimes. It's like I can see the arrows but it just won't work well. I might have to put some tape over my pinky and ring finger so that I don't use them but starting tonight I'm going to try exclusively using my index/middle on both hands. It will take me a while but I don't want to stay at Difficult/Very Difficult for the rest of my FFR "Career."

Wish me luck
And again...thanks for the info.

Clearly. The middle and ring fingers are far weaker than the pinky, making pettanko or w/e (ring + pinky) a more efficient style. Definitely. PS: index is great for jumpstream.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

I play 3 finger left index and right middle and index and I'm pretty good at this game.
I'm best at trills, runningmen, and streams.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

I use spread with Middle and Index on down and left, and also Middle and Index on right and up. It's a pretty comfortable setup.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

Pettanko is ring, pinky on both hands.

Try doing one handed trills like that lol. I dont see why anyone would play this unless its just for fun.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

So wait...playing with middle and index on both hands is reffered to as what? Index or spread? Assuming I use xc nm to play.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

Sean: that has to be a custom setup... is known as "double setup" and is considered cheating. anything involving 2 sets of inputs being used at once is cheating.

Like I care. I've seen lots of videos with people doing it and if you don't use two sets, you use two hands on one set of keys, which is essentially the same thing. Oh boy.

For one thing, you should care. Tasselfoot is an admin and he can, and will, ban you for cheating. Also, that's not essentially the same thing. 1 finger for each of 4 buttons, or 2 fingers for 2 of each button. Not the same thing, even essentially.

Oh I'm gonna love seeing what Tass does :]!

Plus you should grow a pair, and suck it up, you won't get any better cheating. That was a lot meaner then i wanted -_-...but gets the point across none the less.

Oh and I forget who mentioned it, but I use to play index, and for some weird reason jump streams are easier for me with Spread...the only one I have trouble with is the quick UR,UD,DL kind -_-. I play D,F,K,L btw.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

Oh man, somebody's going to ban me for playing a game that's not even involved with this website?

Get over it. There's plenty of people who play with two hands, I just use a way that doesn't involve my fingers constantly thrashing each other.

And like I said, I really could care less.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

Why do people say, "I could care less"?

If you could care less, then do it...

If you couldn't care less, then say that.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

Way to pick apart grammatical choices that don't really make a difference.

EDIT for the point I wanted to make before I went to bed, but I had to find the link:

Show me a video of someone playing the full version of TEEX'S Through the Fire and Flames, and I will completely take back anything and everything I've said.

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

grammatical choices

You made the wrong choice.

On-topic:

I play left middle on D, left index on F, right index on U, and right middle on I, but for some reason, I can't do anything unless my right hand is higher up on the keyboard than my left. :/

Re: My bizarre, inventive playing style

I turn my keyboard upside down and play with 2=left, 1=down, ~=right, and TAB=up . I play one hand (am still practicing spread from time to time to see if I get good at it lol) and doing this styles allows me to have a bigger key as the up arrow so I can hit the up/down trills easier. Also it is shifted slightly to the left on top so its easier to shift my hand for up/down and up/right variations
