Default semi-pettanko FFR scores

For those of you who don't know, semi-pettanko is a style of playing that involves the use of your middle and ring fingers for both hands. This is significantly more difficult to play than a normal spread setup (index and middle fingers), but less so than the ridiculous pettanko method (pinkie and ring fingers). Regardless, it's a physically inefficient way to play. I played a whole bunch of FFR songs lately with this style. Why? Just to challenge myself - it's more interesting.

Because not many people play with this style, even for fun, I personally think these are really good scores for this play method - but I don't have much to compare to anyways.


This song I never FCed previously - until I used the unorthodox method myself lol.


Choofers wanted me to play a really long song, so I actually complied...


I can see myself AAAing this with semi-pettanko (I already did so with spread).


Almost a sdg FC on this low FGO.


Considering certain sections of this song I did surprisingly well.


FC destroyed on the one-handed trill after the long 32nd wall hahaha.


Honestly I play better semi-pettanko on this song than with spread. Nonmirror this time.


lol are you KIDDING ME



So yeah. As an FFR player, you are handicapping yourself when playing semi-pettanko, but that doesn't mean you can't get good PA scores still.
