Default one handers... crazy

i honestly dont understand how they do it, its crazy. ive tried a few hundered games of one handed and i cant do stream, ive come to think that one handed is more of a natural talent to some people, i dont understand how they have the stamina and the coordination to move their hand like that. its not like spread or index where you can improve, i think you kind of just have to be good at it from the beggining. i just wanted to say kudos to all of you one handers.

Except that a one hander is a handicap and takes longer to improve.
Which is why it's a lot more impressive when they are good.

But yes, congrats one handers for sticking with it!

Thanks.

It just seems the most "natural" I guess?

To be fair though, I'm terrible left-handed. I'm only decent right-handed.
Yes I've tried both and a variety of other styles as well. But the one I use 99% of the time and the only one I'm any good at is one-handed with my right hand.

I hate one-handers showing off. If you're a good one-hander, then that's good for you, but that doesn't mean you can put people down.

I understand its harder, but i still don't care.

I only care about how well you do, regardless of how you do it.
i reallu don't know how to explain this well, but in the end, i just don't see the big deal.
That's all.

What I meant was that when one-handers go like "Oh, I'm one-handed, and look, I got this and this and this... what about you?" or "That's because you use two hands." or something of that sort.

EDIT: Do I need a comma before or? I don't know...

This.
Which is how a lot of people seem to think.
It's actually pretty annoying.

I'm just sayin'...how many people do you see in the Tiers and on the Top 100 AAA list that are one handed? At most, a small handful - probably no more than a dozen.

I'm not saying they aren't talented, don't get me wrong, but spread players do have a higher potential and a higher skill level. I've been around here long enough to appreciate good one handed scores. I know what is good and bad for those players, and from my honest observations, their skill levels are not as high as mine and I'm not even in a Tier.

EDIT: As a note, let it be known that I do not think that playing one handed is a disadvantage in any way. It's a personal choice that should not make getting a full combo on a song better than a spread players AAA on the same song.

No. 'Something of that sort' is considered a fragment.

A semicolon is your best bet.

I started off as one handed, and if I switched, I could probably become better. But I'm too lazy/impatient to switch now. In other words, I have become content with my mediocrity.
