    What's the best way to play SM and FFR?

    What is the best method of playing these games? I currenty play one handed for all of my FFR and SM songs, and have since I started, but now I'm starting to use just my two index fingers so that I can finally do a song like Eggmans Quasar. I think that method works best. I just have to get used to it and build better timing all over again. What's your method and opinon?

    My method is to try and stop people from asking the same questions about hands over and over.

    I think this is like the 23'rd time this topic has been made between July and August of right now.

      Sry, but I I haven't used the FFR Forums in a long time. I think I saw like 1 thread asking how they play, but I'm asking what's the best method.

        2 handed, four finger play will get you the highest scores. There is no question to this.

        However, you would probably be suprised just what one hand is capable of. Eggman's Quasar, for instance, has been beaten on 1.5x music speed with one hand.

            As do I. But that really doesn't have anything to do with this topic.

              That's crazy!!! I can barelly do it at normal speed with one hand.

                Pick the playstyle most fun for you. End of story.

                Some people aren't capable of being good with something. If you look at the potential of each playstyle, than two hands four fingers is the best, but that doesn't mean its your best.

                  Yea, pick the method that is most fun and best for you. Thats all there is to it.

                  IF YOU ARE THE BOMB YOU WILL CLICK THIS and if you dont, you suck.

                    Yeah, I prefer one hand for almost everything since it has the best timing, but two index fingers is fun especially on Quasar since you just hear a bunch of fast taps.

                      I expect this is true, but I can't back it from personal experience. Every time I've tried playing with two hands like that, it messes me up. Plus I find it hard to get both hands in a comfortable position when they have to be so close to the keys like that. So I play one handed almost all the time. I'm not very good (yet) though. But yeah, you should play the way you feel most comfortable. Forcing yourself to switch to a method that isn't as comfortable for you might not improve your scores. Or it may take a long time and a lot of practice to overcome the problems you have with the new method.

                      Essentially retired now, but still ranked on the list of FFR's Top One Handers.

                        Ive worked hard on one handed, two handed, and just 2 indexs and switch around depending on the song im playing. I think its a lot more fun then just sticking to one method of play, but thats just me. Enjoy.

                          Yeah, I have to agree with that. I'm starting to get a lot better with just my index fingers. I can just about FC Quasar, which is pretty good considering that I've used two fingers for only a week.
