What are you talking about? Spread is the best there is.

As far as I was aware, using the arrow keys with four fingers is just called "4-finger" and that to be able to say you are "spread" you had to actually spread your hands out so that they both had space, such as askl, zx./, etc.

So, if I'm playing what I thought was spread with vbnm, you're saying that isn't really spread, since my hands aren't spread out? Anyway, playing with just the arrow keys in NOT spread.

**TheRapingDragon** · 02-12-2007, 08:10 PM

I would still see that as just playing four finger.

Spread is...spread, you know? Spread out?

That's maybe just me though.

Arrow keys and 4 is called 4 finger, like Raping said, spread should involve actual spread.

But to put that aside, I play 4 finger on the arrows

Iwhaiwnfi · 02-12-2007, 08:57 PM

A setup like vbnm would still have your fingers spread out over a span. It doesn't necessarially mean there has to be a gap between two of your fingers.

I never did bother to try and use any letters, I just used 4 finger arrow stlyle and turned my keyboard around so my fingers aren't running into each other

Iwhaiwnfi · 02-12-2007, 09:56 PM

Oh, forgot to mention, I play ASKL styled spread.

technicolored · 02-12-2007, 11:04 PM

I usually play 4-fingered (arrow keys) but my laptop broke and I'm stuck on a pretty crappy one with sucky arrow keys.. so I connected a second keyboard to the laptop and I use 2,6 on numpad and left, up on the external keyboard. I think I play better with spread, but it hurts my left hand >_<

**Evascythe** · 02-12-2007, 11:09 PM

I alternate between four-finger and askl.

i'm trying to play spread as as-kl but its hard, my cousin wickedawsomeful changed to spread a while ago (siggy told me lol) and i asked him to show me, well actualy he made me do it with a program called hot keys that HE DIDNT MAKE UP (as he so put it) so i'm getting better but not good yet...!

**TheRapingDragon** · 02-14-2007, 04:24 AM

It takes time to get good at any style. Changing from one style to another will make you drop in skill, but if you are changing to spread then you should improve faster, especially with a base set up of knowing how to play.

Auto hotkeys is terrible for ffr. When I used it loads of arrows didn't register.

**lumphoboextreme** · 02-14-2007, 05:44 AM

left, down, 8, 6.

I play cvbn, and it makes jumps a whooooooole lot easier. I went from 1 handed to 4 finger to spread(?) and spread is by far the best.
