    Re: FFR's Top One Handers

    Yeah, after a week of spread. (a week or less) rofl I am so sick of this. It is almost like learning one hand with both hands because my right hand is perfect and my left hand is garbage. My brain cannot process this as easy playing spread. Sure I got some slightly better scores on some difficult and Very Difficult songs but that is mainly because of the up down trills that I struggle with one-hand. I have decided that because of me being stubborn; learning spread is a lost cause. I should just stop expecting or wanting myself to get as good as EAGames or Redorigami or Bluearrowll and just play the game the way I enjoy it; the way I first started; ONE-HAND. I once made a promise to stay a one-hander forever and I have decided to keep it. I might be the first to say this but Spread just isn't for me. I am happy now.
    I was made for one-handing. Just got this!

      You know what..
      Screw this I'm switching back to one hand. just to prove you can go further then what you think you can. Come on guys don't give up so early.
      It took me 3yrs to get as good as I was okay.
      I didn't get good out of nowhere..
      Just play songs that you can kinda combo and keep on until you combo the whole thing
      then move onto something harder
      Trust me..

      it took you 3 years of playing 1 handed to get where you are, i guarantee itll get take me a max of 3 months to get as good as you are with me playing spread. im not saying i cant get any better one handed, im saying im tired of limiting myself. i still play one handed, but now i play spread as well. and i have gotten some pretty good scores since ive started playing spread.

      card man, i guess its your choice, but man, dont give up, just cause things are hard. after a week of one handing you probs could only FC lvl 5-6 songs max, after a week of spread im FCing lvl 10 songs. its your choice man, but if you dont give up, i guarantee you will get a lot better.

      PS: ive noticed that whenever i try to play one handed now, my right hand wears out too fast. so im spread

      EDIT: at least i still have goelo as a spread rival.

        Thanks for your kind words Bolth mannn. The fact is; I just don't care about getting that good. I want to get good but at the same time I want to have fun doing it. Spread is just not fun to me. I feel like I am typing when I play spread. One-hand is like a world with endless things in it waiting for me. I feel like the songs have more meaning and more intensity when I play one hand making it more fun for me. I lost this feeling when I went spread; I thought the feeling would come back but it didn't. If staying one-handed means that I will never get another AAA; then so be it. I suppose I proved that statement wrong though because I just AAA'ed Indigo. It is too fun for me to give up or to make a secondary style.

          yeah i understand. i guess im more into being as good as i can be and even though i enjoy one handingness, i dont want to wreck my hands either, and i can tell you you hurt your hands a lot faster playing one handed than spread. but anyway, this isnt about this. good luck with one handing i predict in 5 months you'll see me AAAing my first FMO and im hoping you'll be AAAing FMO's by then too, we will see

          good luck

          PS i found a new one hander, his name starts with VIP or something, ill go see if i can find him and post his profile link here. he is VERY good. id say he'd be a good competitor of card man/8 hour.

            Well after all this; I would suggest a major update to the top one handers list. Find out who is active and who isn't. Do what you should accordingly. I am not sure how I can contribute to updating the list so instead I will go calculate my One-Hander Tier Points to see where I am at now.

                  I should already own this one too because in my video of Euro Freak; I got 9 goods.
                  By the way, BYNARY I REALLY want to see an update on this list dude!! I will make more tokens or whatever is needed. I want to help man. I want to keep one-handing alive. Switching to spread made me realize the importance of one-handing. It is important to me to keep that list updated. New TP's added ones; it is all needed man. Let me know what I can do. I mean it.

                      Adding the token in now.

                      Also, I'm more than willing to keep the list going - and since you guys are all returning to one hand, I'll update the list in a few days (try and beat your spread scores please).

                      The tier list doesn't seem to be that active...if more people vie for competition in that sector, then absolutely. Red, you, Alek, and hopefully others like Hentai will get competitive...and then I'll be more aggressive with updates.

                      Good for you. I want you to stay on the list, so if you want to continue to get spread scores, please keep it on another account.

                      I wouldn't be so sure of that.

                      You should create a hall of fame list, which freezes peoples' top av rankings, tier level if applicable, and highest level AAA at the time they retired/switched to one-hand, with a little blurb about them. This information is lost on players that have been gone for a long time, but I'm sure that some information about their playing skill is still available. Whether to include people or not could be based subjectively, so Yessss could even be included. Afterwards, individuals could be added by committee.
                      That's been suggested before - I'm not really sure if there are even enough people to even consider the idea, and Yesssss doesn't play FFR (or anymore, for that matter). If you guys all were to become exceptional in the future, then I'll certainly entertain the idea.

                      I'd feel like a sellout. I really don't want to switch, and any urges to do so only arose because of the allure of quick improvement, and not because I want to learn it. Besides, my left hand would be so useless compared to my right hand for such an extended period of time, it'd likely be MONTHS before I were to fully exceed my one handed capabilities, which is far longer than that of others.

On songs that are at your difficulty level, your brain is scrambling and doesn't have any chance to process new information. It means you will likely just go back to songs you've AAAed already and re-play them. I'm talking level 4-6 songs. EASY (for you), then work your way back up. I'm glad I've always used one finger for these.
                      Exactly what I plan on doing. Getting myself to spend all the time needed is really something that I don't want to do - and forcing to play all the easy songs will be hell. Of course, if I don't do it sooner or later, I'll just hold myself back...

When you go back to fixing your up-down glitch, try to focus on relaxing your arm for basic techniques. I might try this - drink a whole glass of water 30 minutes before you play an FGO, massage your arm for 1 minute before, and the while you play it, try breathing a little faster than normal. I suspect that, in addition to nerves causing over-tensing, you're getting some crazy amounts of waste build-up at a local level due to heavy usage.
                      I'll try that - thanks for the tip. As for relaxing, a lot of it has to do because I don't rest my arm - instead, that and my wrist are always suspended in mid-air to keep my wrists straight - not doing so will increase the pace of damage in my wrists (the more bent the worse). I do use that technique for jack files though, and it makes a MASSIVE difference - my endurance never runs out in such a case.

Mr Rubix, I believe though I may be mistaken, has talked about how his hand won't do the same things it used to, that his fingers don't snap like they once did, and even that his hand now hurts. I suspect some nerves have been damaged. I would recommend being careful about it. Seriously, you will need those hands later in life.
                      The risk is ever present for all styles - it's something you have to accept when playing this game. Besides, I plan on quitting the game the moment I develop signs of an impending RSI.


                      Also, sorry I haven't tested your file yet - I'll get to that tomorrow, since I seem to keep forgetting...

                        Well, I've decided to take a hiatus from FFR and whore SM until I'm actually good at this game because as of now I've realized I suck XD
                        We'll see what happens when I decide to come back.

                              Oh yea you'll get there in a max of 3 months.. I got 31-0-0-1 on Southern Cross after 2 days of playing Spread by forcing myself to get better at one hand. Yet, I still find playing one hand a helluva lot more fun.
                              There were times I couldn't FC anything new.. Times I couldn't get anything at all. I just kept playing and playing until I got a skill jump and didn't let off that skill jump. It forced my hand to learn the new skill jump and patterns I was using.
                              Giving up on limitations... That is completely sad. It's like your saying you'd give up on trying to teach your mentally retarded child. Would you do this?

                              Edit: Bynary you better put my name under that SDG on Euro Freak I got 4 -0-0-0 if I must do it again then omg... but I will =P
                              Edit2: Bynary where is my Thrash Token? or should I say "Trashy Whore" req being FC Thrash with less then 20 boos.
