1-hand bossing - Page 2

Guys nothings wrong with one handed. If you're not trying to be #1, its totally fine, and the strategy is more complex. Nice playing!

**rushyrulz** · 09-13-2011, 09:47 PM

I will admit that score is rather impressive for 1hand 1x lol.

Eh, I disagree, reading is always important, no matter how good or bad you might be at physically hitting notes. Bynary was pretty amazing at speed, but he would probably not have gotten the MA and speed scores he had without using a more normal speedmod.

I'm pretty new to the scene but I play one handed too

I know its limited, but I'm used to it and its tons of fun!

Or if he sticks with 1x we can go with Macgravel, IDK.

I disagree. I play one handed or index when I want to have fun with this game.

**MBurns** · 09-14-2011, 02:48 AM

oh just a quick specification.

I play 1 handed with arrows. 3 fingers.

not 4 fingers.

That's definitely the most fun playstyle for me. Best score I've gotten so far would probably be my FC on Novo Mundo.

Bynary was always miles ahead so no one's ever heard of me :c But, I'd say I'm catching up

Pretty sure he retired though so I'm chasing a rock rofl

Anyway keep doin' what you're doin', you're a pretty great one hander and I'd love to see some competition from you.

I assumed this - I think most one-handed players do it this way.

Eugh I think spread is more fun because it feels like I'm playing the song, but I can see why index/1 hand might be fun for some people because it's more dynamic.

I personally play onehanded with 4 fingers (ring,middle,index,thumb), not sure anyone else here does that (besides NekoGon when he tried it last time)

Same, except pinky instead of thumb.

**Patashu** · 09-14-2011, 05:37 PM

when I 1h I do three fingers on the arrows
I'm also awful

**yo man im awesome** · 09-14-2011, 06:09 PM

First of all, if you actually intend to raise your speedmod, don't listen to them. I found that I was most comfortable at 1.65X by going up .05 every few songs, making sure I was comfortable at each one before I moved up.

Also, I would suggest staying 1 handed. You'll be much more epic to people, including myself. I played one-handed 1X for about 3 years, then I found out I was able to change the speedmod, and I did. I had a major one-hand boost then. It only a couple months later before I switched to spread. /peer pressure.

I kinda want to play a little 1 handed again now.

I play this way as well. I started with just three and just found it more practical (imo) to add the thumb. I'm not sure why three fingers seems to be the dominate 1-hand technique when there are four arrows. But that's just my opinion.

if "more fun" means easier, then you sure are correct

@mburns: if you feel like you want advice on getting better, then take the advice of raising your speedmod just a little bit, i suggest x1.15 to get you started

nice play on hotn, better than what i can do at one hand
