            When I have a huge hunk of spare time (ex. Summer) I'll probably come back and play.

            So hows everyone?

                Eh, I hardly play anymore, due to a number of reasons:


                -****ty ass keyboard with 4 keys broken, 3 of which I always used for playing (the letter keys suck)
                -Zero competition
                -Frustrating and bad habits that hold me back yet I can't break them
                -2x is too slow and 2.25 is too fast


                I still play enough to keep up my skill level though (I still like the game, don't worry :P). I want to try and fix some of these things, but it doesn't seem to be going well. Outside of the game, I'm doing good, thankfully.

                  Re: FFR's Top One Handers

                  Reasons I have also not been playing as frequently:

                  I unfortunately feel that if I played more I could still be improving greatly as I was, but I'm not playing every day anymore. I blame this ****ty a** economy. Trying to keep my job and make extra money on the side. Also a minor addiction to Kongregate, which I can play without driving my wife crazy.

                  I need to get this off my chest. If I don't admit it, it will not change. I suspect part of the reason I haven't been playing as much is because I may have been pi**ed my stepfile didn't get played by Tass this last time. Blu gave it a pretty decent review (and had constructive comments). jx simply trashed it for sync again, which I think was bs. Maybe he played the old file. Oh well - there are new reviewers by now so someone completely different can trash it for being half a millisecond off-sync even though once it gets in the game every note will be 10 milliseconds off-sync anyways. I haven't yet had the gumption to make changes to it. jx and blu are both talented stepfile artists and I respect both of their opinions. It's nothing personal. I realize I am just griping. Once I get over it, I can make some improvements, resubmit, and be on my merry way. Maybe I'll take a look at it again today.

                  One-hander that does alright sometimes.

                  Are you one of the best one-handers on FFR? Show it here.

                    Broken keyboards are never fun =/ Good luck in getting a better one.

                    I'd say, StepMania and playing on 2.25 all the time would be the best remedy for this, because once a scroll speed is too slow, there's not much you can do to solve that.. Although trying to fix this might be much easier when you get a better keyboard.

                    I'm glad you're alright out of the game =). I'll try to grab more tier points and tokens to keep this thread alive.

                      Eh...I can't find a good keyboard with flat keys - my parents and me scoured numerous sites, but I can't seem to find one. If somebody else could, I couldn't express my gratitude in words (seriously).

                      I can tell. You're already really good as it is. However, MP lags severely for me, so SMO would probably have to be the way.

                      No, as in

                      1) I hit all up-down jumps with 2 fingers despite me using only my middle finger for everything else - this is holding me back in such a huge way I can't explain it. Unfortunately, I've been doing this since I played my first game of FFR - that habit is so deeply ingrained by now that I've been unable to break it despite months of trying to do so. :/

                      2) Severe tensing of my arm - it gets so physically painful I can't even finish most FGOs without quitting out. Unfortunately, if I don't tense up, my fingers barely even slide on the keys, let alone press them.

                      Eh, I play on C760 currently on SM, and that's about 2.55x on FFR - I was trying to adjust to 2.25x, but it's really hard.

                      Haha, make good use of your break, for it may be the only one you'll ever get from me. The others are also working to keep the thread alive, so that's a good thing.

                        Re: FFR's Top One Handers

                        Ohh? I've almost gotten back to my original skill without a flat key keyboard - Although they're kind of slanted so that sliding from down to up is no problem, I get stuck if I slide from up to down.. Which is why I use my index for down half the time. I actually don't play with my hand straight towards the keys, my arm's slanted at about a 45 degree angle to the right to give my index equal opportunity to hit the down key. I also use two fingers for up/down doubles - I don't think I could get good PA any other way, but do you think that's a bad habit?
                        And as for the tensing hand/arm, I have that problem too. So I'm trying a new thing - keeping my wrist completely flat on the desk. It definitely hurts less, and it works to warm up until it doesn't hurt anymore to play otherwise - I just have to be sure to play songs I can FC like that, or otherwise I'll get a hell of a lot of mind blocks on the song.
                        And the only thing I can think of for getting to 2.25 speed is to practice with it all the time.. But I'm not a subscriber so I'm not sure how difficult that is.

                          My playing style developed around sliding on flat keys - I'd have to completely re-learn one handing if I wanted to play on raised keys, and that's not something I'm prepared to do.

                          Hitting up-down jumps is alright if you use your index for the down/left keys, so in your case it's actually a good habit.

                          I notice it helps as well, but I try not to do that given that it will greatly increase the risk of carpal tunnel due to the bad position of your wrist. I try to avoid it unless I'm doing hardcore wristjacking (e.g Sandstorm). Besides, I couldn't do that anyways being that I hit up-down jumps with 2 fingers, and it's basically impossible to play with your wrist in that position if you use just your middle finger for up and down arrows.

                          It's pretty tough - 2.25 is both fast and choppy. I can probably adjust, but seeing myself get horrible PA when it's normally beastly is too much for me to handle. ._.

                            Ahhh so many different sub-styles beyond 3 fingers one handed. From what I hear how everyone else plays, maybe mine's just really unorthodox. We all simply adapt to what kind of keyboards we have, and what we're best at. I try to even out the load on my fingers since I'm really not that fast - which is why jumpstream's easy for me, they generally aren't all on 2 or 3 keys. You've AAA'd AIM Anthem which is just ludicrous tapping speed IMO so I guess letting your middle finger tackle two keys is easy for you, haha.
                            Also, I didn't know that raised the risk of CTS.. Although I haven't heard of any FFR players yet who have gotten it.
                            And yes, I would always go with whatever scroll speed gives you the best PA.. But that's just me.

                              I am sick of you saying there is no competition Bynary. I am sure all the one-handers including myself are trying to get up there. Having you up there breaking records keeps me from going spread because sometimes one-handing seems to lose its point. No competition....look at all the spread players with avg ranks 100 and below. There is your competition.
