Dunno what to use!

Nima · 09-10-2003, 06:31 PM

I know this has been brought up before, but I don't know how to use the keys... I currently use one hand like reach... but I can't do hard levels like payon and fotbb with one hand so then i have to add 2 hands and then you get many more misses cause its hard to independently control two hands. I tried ArchOwl's method, but two fingers is just crazy... I just can't move my fingers fast enough to do one handed levels like payon though. How do you do it??? Reach??? Arch??? lol I need atleast 2 hands 2 fingers each and I still miss a few.

One hand is old school. Two hands is for fast weird stuff.

I use one hand 99.5% of the time.

zeroigniz · 09-10-2003, 07:07 PM

I use one hand 99.6% of the time.

2 hands for fast whatever is comfortable for slow there ya go

Nima · 09-10-2003, 09:21 PM

but two hands is inaccurate and hard to control

Use your feet.

1 hand advantage - easier to feel the rhythm
2 hand advantage - easier to get complex arrow patterns perfect

Whatever floats your boat. I use 2 hands in this formation:
Left = Left Thumb
Up = Right Index
Down = Right Thumb
Right = Right Middle

I have absolutely no idea as to how Arch plays. And I play one handed.

Nima · 09-11-2003, 04:49 PM

he uses two fingers... left index plays two keys, right index plays two... I use one hand... middle up and down, index left, (finger beside pinky ;p) right... and on complex parts i switch to two fingers or two hands (right index up, right middle right; middle left left, left index down) but im trying to do arch's two finger method cause i noticed i can move way faster.

**Reach** · 09-11-2003, 05:23 PM

1 handed takes ALOT of practise...2 hand has a large advantage, so i'd stay 2 handed if you can. You can get really good one handed though....but yea, takes time to get really fast. I basically just use my 3 fingers... and...well, i move around alot, and change my hand positioning depending on the steps...it kinda just comes natural now. :S

SSCUJO · 09-11-2003, 05:25 PM

i play one handed i can't play any other way...

lancer77 · 09-11-2003, 05:48 PM

Me neither.

RMMD · 09-12-2003, 09:45 AM

i am all around on it. cept i mainly suck with one hand

**Hyrogashi** · 09-12-2003, 06:31 PM

Reach you suck you fucking liar. mister beat FOTBB 1.5x 1.5 music speed. Thats like saying "Yeah, I shot a fireball out of my hand and blew up san franciso.

Agh.

Ankoku_Matsudai · 09-13-2003, 05:49 PM

I only use my right hand.. I can't do it with 2 X_x.
Index finger: left key
Middle finger: top and bottom keys
Ring finger: right key

TatsuJiN · 09-15-2003, 10:31 PM

I used to use one hand but now I switched. To me 2 hands is a lot easier.
(Left Hand)Middle Finger: Left arrow
(Left Hand)Index Finger: Down arrow
(Right Hand)Index Finger: Up arrow
(Right Hand)Middle Finger: Right arrow

lancer77 · 09-15-2003, 10:56 PM

Ahhh...No, I get too confused. One hand is much more natural.

Wow, i must be weird.
It's the exact opposite for me. i play Arch0wl style on regular songs, but on stuff like Payon and Minute Waltz, i play one handed, so i can hit the keys faster.
Yep, im weird.

SiYkO · 09-16-2003, 05:48 PM

I use 2 hands, but the right hand has the middle finger on the up arrow and ring finger on the right arrow. It feels less cluttered, and lets your hands rest more flat. Just rest your index finger on the left fingers, they won't mind.

And i would use 1 handed for everything, except for the up+down arrows together... my middle finger is supposed to watch both, but it cant hit bnoth at same time without completely losing the feel of the keys.

Oh, and if your hands still become cramped, try left hand on L+D arrow keys, and U+R on numpad. It's nice.
