Is it really possible to be really good with only one hand?

Handicaps != Challenges

I mean, deciding to use two feet to play DDR instead of one isn't "backing down from a challenge" its "Deciding to play in a way that lets me get to the real and intended challenges"

If you have the coordination and speed to play FFR and develop skills beyond those of the casual gamer, the challenge is supposed to be the, you know, challenging songs. I mean, I guess if you play in a way that makes 8/12s "hard" you can spend more time beating your head against the wall of skill development than someone who plays spread, finds 8s easy, and gets their challenge trying to improve scores on the 11s and 12s.

All that ends up meaning is that you'll have to be able to be content with your accomplishments, having high scores on songs that most of the two-hand players have already beaten, bypassed and moved on from.
