    One handed won't work forever huh?

    I've always played with one hand. Now that I'm starting to get into more difficult songs I'm starting to realize that it might not be possible to do this and I might have to start from scratch and try a two handed technique. Am I right in assuming that I'm going to need more than four fingers as the songs become more compicated? If so, then this blows.
    The weight of what I say depends on how you feel.

    It's better that you do, but it's indeed possible to pass alot of the songs that a seasoned two hander/spread player can pass 1 handed, but it takes more time to gain speed/stamina 1 handed. Switch to spread.

      Hahaha, I just went through this. Trust me, I tried off and on to learn it for months. Then, one day, I watched my brother play Blank Knowing, and he explained to me how he did the cascades in it. After he was done, I sat down, and went from not even being able to full combo Secret Zombie Room to nearly AAAing Blank Knowing.

      So, it's a painful process, but trust me, it's VERY worth it. I was a one-handed player for almost 3 years, and after playing spread for only months, I have tripled my AAAs and tripled my FCs.

        I did the same thing about a week ago. Its really not hard switching to spread. Each day, you'll break more and more of your own records the more you get used to the setup. It didnt take me but like 3 or 4 days to get pretty used to it. So yeah, definitely do it. I was in the same boat.

          Yes, this is true. When I started playing FFR, I was one-handed. Once your skill increases and you start to play songs that are more difficult, you kinda switch over to two-handed gradually.

            You won't be starting over from scratch. Your skills in one hand will allow you to become much more skilled much faster than if you had played 2 handed from the beginning. For instance, when I played index for the first time, it took me 2 hours before I could FC very difficult songs.

            I'm not good anymore.

              Actually, it's possibly to get really good with one-handed. It's simply way harder and longer. The faster you switch to spread the faster you'll get used to it. For the Time Played/Talent comparison go for spread although a really good one-hander is more impressive in my opinion

                You couldn't even FC SZR after playing for 3 years?! Sheesh, only after one year I was able to AAA. =\

                  Sure spread is easier than one handed but you can get just as good one handed. I remember when Piano Etude first came out, I had to like mash it lol. Now I can a lot of combos in it. My points is that you have to give one hand some time and a lot of determination in order to get good. That's what I think.

                    This is exactly what happened to me. About a month ago I found that I couldnt beat Difficult+ songs with one hand, so now I'm index. I can get a million on FGO's

                      Play index or spread. If you want to be REALLY good, learn both spread and index, and alternate accordingly.

                        i know one hand and spread, one hand was my first style, but i decided to learn spread as well, i use one hand for fun and tournys most often but spread is basically for skill tokens and getting good scores

                          I play one handed and index (2 fingers from 2 hands) and it works fine untill you hit songs like love cheat.

                            rofl, i have been playing 0.3 years one hand and can pass FGOs/FC very dificults/AAA trickies

                            i am also rather proficiant in spread, but i choose not to play that way
                            playing one hand will in fact, work forever...
                            one hand, no mercy...
