Re: How do you play index?
I like your username.
To play index, close both of your hands and make your two indexes stand out. Obviously, you can't play spread and index at the same time... Either use WASD, the arrows, or something that looks similar (I know some people use 8624 from their keypad so that it looks like a real DDR mat). Index's goal is to play like if each of your index was a leg on a DDR mat. I have a slightly harder time playing index than spread, but it's also a lot of fun.

Re: How do you play index?
Why the heck didn't I see this sooner. Anyways, if you don't have speed, you're not going to go anywhere with index. Try practicing on A LOT of stream files to get your speed and accuracy up. Also, when hitting triples and quads try developing your own method like I have.
There are several different ways to set up your keyboard for index. The typical way is to simply use the arrow keys. The same can go for the number keys. I sometimes move my keyboard sideways and use 4↑ 2← 6↓ and 8→ Feel free to ask me anything else about this. |

Re: How do you play index?
Yeah you basically pretend your pointer fingers are your legs on a DDR mat. I played index since I was about 13, then just recently switched at the age of 19 to spread and have gotten pretty good at it. I had to switch because I basically reached a wall; there are certain things that are pretty much impossible with index. If you're already playing spread, you may as well just stay there.

Re: How do you play index?
obviously starting as index I can say it wasn't very easy to move over to spread although I have evolved into a 3 finger setup now that is definitely more efficient I imagine though it would be hard to go from spread to index.

Re: How do you play index?
personally, i'd say that 3 fingers (if they're on one hand) is very much...less efficient than spread.

Re: How do you play index?
I change to index whenever there's trills or jacks for a long duration, my middle fingers are too damn slow. My left middle finger is especially laggy.
