It was spread out over two months, I just keep posting because no one else does :P

Thanks, I'm definitely noticing that I keep improving and it's a lot of fun.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Damn that ending was scary. Got it somehow though!

Also AAAd one of today's new files, Dragon Slayer. Pretty happy with that one, especially being a sightread.

...You'd better be D3, or else I'm going down quickly again :P

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Don't worry, I never come close to winning even in D2. I mean, throw some staircases (as long as they're fast enough - and white arrows means a one-hit KO) or up/down-anchor runningmen at me and I'm out. There's a lot of stuff I can't do and it always comes up. Not to mention that past round 4 or 5 they always start getting into stuff that's physically impossible or at least requires a ton of practice and skill (I'm looking at you, bursts of all kinds). And there's always a lot of stratification even as "low" as D2. It quickly becomes clear who is going to win and who is not (i.e. me). I'm really hoping I'm D2 so at least I have a chance to win something this time. I've never been in the upper wing of a division in an official tournament. Or maybe it's just that the stuff I cannot do outweighs my skill too quickly. I dunno. Placement is often a hard call and people are rarely happy about it.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

This is why I'm hoping D2 will be full of jacks...(ugh, blew the SDG right at the end, but this along with Starlight are my two best FC's)

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

GAH! It happened again (one miss on a high-difficulty song). Not sure if I'll be able to FC the stream section next time either :P

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

I don't know how you do AAA's like them, but the best I can do is FC to 35 (and some exception). I think I need some practice ^^"

[Bobogoobo]

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Yeah, for me it's mostly just keep practicing to keep getting better.

[Bobogoobo]

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Heck yeah! Most nervous I've ever been on a song. But so worth it. My previous best was 9-0-0-2 so I wasn't expecting this but by halfway I could tell I could do it. Also yay SKSK I'd probably say this is my best AAA now.

oni sometime soon?

Is this still three-finger? If so, teach me your secrets of improving so rapidly / being good :/

Get a super super super flat keyboard so you can slide your middle finger back and forth on the up and down arrow keys

I'm using one of these Mac keyboards (random image I found) - I don't really have a problem with sliding my finger, though occasionally it'll get stuck but usually not. I think it's more just the ability to read the arrows and the speed/stamina to hit more complex patterns.

That wouldn't work for me, in an ideal keyboard for this, the space between the keys would be barely present and there'd be a very tiny but present down slope on all the edges of each key, so when your finger slides from up to down, rather than your finger getting caught on the raised key itself, it slides down the ridge of the first key, then up the ridge of the second key, making it optimal. Basically most laptop keyboards tend to have a better chance at having this.

If you're trilling 232323232323 fast, or doing fast streams, "occasionally" is way too often, sorry



As for basic advice for getting better with one-hand 3 fingers, I found pushing my limits constantly with fast streamy (and eventually started venturing into jumpstreamy) songs, really helped improve my overall speed. Technical patterns will be technical with spread, but with one-hand you're really going to need that speed a bit more than anything.
