Speaking of what fingers you use to play FFR...

[Moogy]

I play 2-handed. I hold my palms upward and press the keys with my 2 ring fingers.

No wonder you suck.

I use index/middle/ring.

[altairian]

um
i'm pretty sure chardish was kidding
think about it
palms upward means you're hitting the keys with your fingernails
nobody is that dumb unless they're trying to be dumb

[Anticrombie0909]

One hand, three fingers...my index, middle, and ring finger. Pretty standard.

[Privateer]

Palms facing upwards.

[altairian]

yes, that's what he said. AKA the back of your hand is facing downard.

[Privateer]

Which means his finger nails would be far off hitting the arrow key.

[altairian]

think about it... you hit the key with your fingertip normally yes? now if you flip your hand over, what's on the other side of your fingertip? a fingernail! yes that's it.

[Privateer]

His hand would have to be leaned forward for him have his nail hit it, which would make his palm face downward.

[altairian]

um, what are you talking about privateer?
lay your hands on your desk, flat on your desk, with the palms up. then do the same thing with the ends of your fingers on keys.

[Privateer]

Whoa, whoa. We're thinking of completely different things. You're saying his hands are upside down? I thought he put them underneath the keyboard.

Now that I think of it though, it's not really having palms upwards.

[banditcom]

I do the standard index/middle of both hands.

[Cenright]

I use the standard 4-fingers, but I use a variation on positioning.

[hydrojakep]

<- left index
^
| right middle
|
\|/ (down arrow) right index
-> right ring

[Privateer]

That sucks, Hydro. I don't know how people develop these weird ways to play (i.e. Freak's).

[altairian]

haha my dad uses 3 fingers from 1 hand and 1 finger on the other... i tried to get him to stop but it's not like he's a serious player... (he plays DDR songs on light )
