1 Hand Vs. 2 Hands... the epic battle..

[hEaLiNgViSiOnAnGeLicMiX]

I play the way it's meant to be played, 1 handed, 3 fingers. You just can't beat it. Anyways I think two handed gives you to much of a speed advantage.

So you're saying, FFR/SM/DWI were never intended to be played with more than one hand? Excuser-moi but last time I checked, some of the worlds best players play with two hands (IE Arch, Jello, Nima). Take DDR as an example, some people freestyle, meaning they hit the arrows with their hands, knees, hell sometimes even their heads, do you call THAT cheating? I think not.

BTW, this is coming from someone who plays both one handed and with indexes, so save the 'OMG LIEK YOU PROBABLY ONLY PLAY WITH TWO HANDS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND'.

That's nothing. I play with my EYEBALLS.

I play with my super telekinisis powers.

Seriously though, it doesn't matter what style you play. I'm a one hander and I'm pretty decent at it (although not as good as some [reach, moogy, kilga, etc.]) but I'd probably be a bit further if I were two handed. I enjoy one-handedness the most though.

It's not cheating if you play 2 handed... you may not think it's fun, but other people do.

I play SM with my feet, ololo

You know I play the piano one-handed. The 'good' people have always been big cheaters like Chopin with both hands...he was a chump. Hey, I'm better than you even though I can't beat you.

This question is just stupid. Of course both are perfectly legitimate styles of playing this game.

You have to keep in mind that one handed and two handed play are entirely seperate worlds. Comparing scores and accomplishments between the two styles is completely meaningless. I play one handed myself, and do I compare scores with Nima? No, I compare them with Moogy, or Kilga, or Reach (his one hand scores).

That being said, I honestly can't imagine how this game would be that fun if you have a finger on each arrow. Where's the movement then, which is where all of the fun comes from?

Kefit wins. I totally agree with everything you said.

Saying 2 hands is cheating is like saying playing DDR with 2 feet is cheating. Where do the rules say that you can't use 1 hand? Do you consider typing Word documents with 2 hands to be cheating?

Anyway, we've been over this about 50 times in 300 different topics. Beating a dead horse. I'm surprised it hasn't been locked yet.

ummm, its fine to use two hands, i feel more comfertable playing with one hand. But I am lucky. My brain trained itself to recognize the placement of the arrows across the screen so i no longer have to acually pay attention to the arrows. Also its helps me alot to have the arrows falling down instead of riseing up. Is this true for anyone else, I mean the arrow placement thing.

Indexes are fine.
Three fingers is fine.
Four fingers isn't.

I agree with Moogy. I was fine with four fingers and acknowledged the play style until people started making "four finger style" simfiles, especially the ones adjusted to their skill level. That just ruined it.

I am a one handed olayer, and to be honest I tried to play with two hands but it was too hard for me. I do wayyyy better with just one hand. Either way you play, it is because you have more fun that way so I dont consider either way cheating.

[pxbluesoul]

I use 6 fingers. Word.

(D-Buttons + WASD)

And I used to play with one hand but after a while it got painful, playing with two hands takes care of that though.

Edit: I don't doubt some 1-handed players can pass FOTBB but good luck with Payon. There's an entire group of songs (that Arch may have correctly cited as four-finger simfiles) that are passable with two-hands that just...aren't otherwise.

Actually playing ffr with 2 hands is like playing ddr with 4 legs, you always have your hand over the arrows, do you always have your feet over the arrows?
