Props to all 4-finger players

[MEGAginge]

meh, ive always played this way. USED to be able to FC everything except the guru songs ark introduced.... now i cant do shit ofc, serves me right for not playing in 3 years.

[ShakeEnBake]

i use a pretty basic setup

Right Index = Left Arrow
Right Middle = Up / Down Arrows
Right Ring = Right Arrow

seems to work pretty well for me, i can do most songs reasonably well up through Master. Guru+ too hard though. maybe its just me but spread seems soooo lame for this game. sorry. I'm sure it takes some skill but not even CLOSE to the amount of skill you need to do one handed.

Index with my middle fingers.

contradiction?

you play... middle? I have no idea what to call that.

[female]

It's called fuck you

[seratone]

i play:

left arrow = left index
right arrow = |
up arrow = |= right middle + right index (randomly)
down arrow = |

[sk8r_daniel]

When i first started i just put my fingers on teh arrow keys and started pounding away, i never tried anything different except left middle = left arrow, left index =down , right index = up arrow, right middle = right arrow. I can also pllay the same way on the number pad. I can also use my middle finger and ring fingers in the same positions. But I still use the arrow pad the most. I can complete all the levels on ffr, been playing for about a year....well didn't play in the summer. It was really hard at first to get finger strength and coordination for doubles but i got it down now.

I also play with the screen gonig from top to bottom. Just because I switched it that way at first and didnt bother switching it back. I'm horrible going from bottom to top. ....

[Rephlex11]

i go top to bottom too and i play left arrow = right index up arrow = right middle right arrow = right ring and down arrow = right thumb im only decent.

[DeusTheos]

Left index: Left Arrow
Left middle: Down Arrow
Right index: Numpad 8
Right middle: Numpad 6

Maybe I'm just weird.

I've been doing that same thing for 2 years! haha we're weird together.

do you hold your keyboard sideways?
the long way?

how the heck do you do that o_O

[Spazzbite]

Left: Left Middle
Down: Left Index
Up: / on numpad
Right: 9 on numpad

What a lot of other people do, just one key up.

[broteam]

i use 4 fingers i aways have

[snow2skate]

I use my index finger for the left arrow, I use my middle finger for the up and down key, And I use the one beside my middle for the right arrow key... So I only use 3 fingers. And I can do Secret zombie room without missing an arrow.
4 fingers is much easier...
But I prefer 3 for added hardness to levels.

[SqNtz_xoombot]

Everything up through breaking the common is a snap to full combo with three fingers. After that it gets a little tough. The only hard part about switching over to fourfinger was trying for these left hand trills.

[darkshark]

ive been playing two hand 3 finger for a little more than a year now, and i felt that ive reached my skill limit (FC Cia rave, fantranstic etc...) and that i couldnt improve all that much with my setup (arrows) so i decided to switch over to four fingered, my current setup is:

L index = down
L middle = left
R index = up
R middle = right

ive only been practicing this for maybe a week now, and im having a few problems that maybe someone could help me with. my main problem is fast sets of stream on UR and LD, and it seems that everything is a little harder to read when im playing 4 finger, but i guess ill get used to that with more practice. so are you supposed to switch your setup in order to hit fast sets of stream?or should your fingers always stay ontheir respective keys? any help would be great, thanks in advance ^_^
