Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

Yea blue thats exactly what zyban was talking about I guess..
I think I like that set up due to the fact I'm on a laptop and yes. I need to have little movement as possible. Thank you everyone =]
Your all amazing people except Tera..

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

Personally, I'd do
a x . '
but I guess that's just me. Good luck to you in switching playing styles.

General format of reply in this thread:

1. Cringe at injury.

2. Tell the OP to play spread.

3. Move on with life.

Let your imagination fill in the details.

Damn, cant you wait until it heals? What shame...good luck learning the new styles you choose though.

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

Man that sucks....
Well, if you do pick spread
Definitely zx./
It's so much more comfortable than qwop or askl or whatever...
Don't learn it the wrong way like I did

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

askl is what I use, nice and simple.

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

i use qslp because if you try it, you'll see that it is a much more natural and relaxed position for your hands. playing something like askl really makes the hands unbalanced and tensed. qslp also helps with trills.

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

sorry to hear about the injury, but you should consider playing with ur feet. i know it sounds hard but it really isnt. It makes everything more fun.

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

yeah dude, just switch to spread, it does take the least amount of effort since it is not so many fingers doing so much of the work. This way 1 finger each keys, less effort used. I really dont know what to reccomend as for key set up cus most play wit hthem set up straight across as for where I read them another way. So, you just got to mess around a bit til you feel comfortable with a set style. Sorry bout your hand though. That gotta suck.

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

Hmmm. I used to do a one-hand three finger style. (while resting I had my middle finger on up, and other two fingers on left and right. Recently though I couldn't get past this handicapped "hardcore" method to improve past level 8. It has no movement so you might as well go with it if your worried about agitating your injury. I still have the same one-hand skill, so after two or three warm of songs you really shouldn't worry about losing your old "hardcore" status so long as you still have the same mobility.

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

I'm really sorry to hear about this. Tendon injuries can take a long time to heal. We'll miss you as a one-hander.

I would think that the style would be injury dependent. It may actually hurt to play some versions of spread even after the external wound heals. It also depends on how much nerve damage there was. Also, and this is very important, make sure you talk about FFR with your doctor. He may recommend you take some time and rehabilitate your hand before even starting back at spread. Repetitive motion could re-injure it. Or it may help you heal. In any case, this may be a good time to work on those easy AAAs you still need rather than shooting for beast FCs.

Wishing you all speed in your recovery and best of luck.

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

I actually have to echo Sprite here -- I, too, am finding stuff like qslp to be better on the hands

cv-kl for maximum speed

Re: Well.. My lucks run out..

I personally use: z x up arrow and right arrow.

I keep my arms and hands off to the sides of my keyboard as I often play MMO's and use 1-5 and F1-F4 keys often as skill hotkeys, as well as the mouse of course, so it feels comfortable.
