Props to all 4-finger players - Page 2

Icemage · 11-30-2005, 06:14 PM

LOL. Nah, I posted that when I had just woken up from a nap. :P

Left Arrow - left middle finger
Down Arrow - left index finger

Sorry for the confusion.

(though come to think of it, you could probably do it with the keyboard laying in front of you long-ways... assuming the length doesn't bother you, it'd be a pretty comfortable position to play in IMO).

And sadly, I'm *not* very good at FFR or SM. Timing just isn't good enough to hit Perfect/Marvelous every time, always end up with about 5-10% good/greats. Enough to FC most intermediate songs, but not enough to AAA anything harder than Standard difficulty most of the time.

I just enjoy playing - I don't have any aspirations to be a DDR/FFR/SM God.

I'm an all 4 finger player

Ring finger on left arrow
middle finger on down

middle finger on 8
ring finger on 6

works very well for me, I'm Dual handed, hard for me to use just 1

Suzuru · 12-1-2005, 12:31 AM

I use same style as Icemage, due my arrow keys not registering quads but when I use left arrow, down arrow, 8numpad, 6numpad. I can do quads np. Besides it's a lot better than playing with 4 fingers on arrows only, my finger used to bump into each other and my fingers are pretty slim after switching to aforementioned setup, let's call it "spread hybrid" I improved by a lot in ffr.

Also I play spread in SM with "zx" "./" setup.

Where's the love for the 4 finger arrow key or WASD players?

staroceanfreakx · 12-1-2005, 07:35 AM

Right here :P

Left middle on left
Left index on down
Right middle on up
Right ring on right

**Moogy** · 12-1-2005, 08:00 AM

I use QWOP. Spread is the only style worth playing.

**Snapps** · 12-1-2005, 08:07 AM

If you turn the keyboad on a negative slope, then my style works perfectly

masterhickle · 12-1-2005, 08:30 AM

ASKL =P

getting better with the setup, I can AA most of the songs I have that -don't- have 16th runs or jump streams...working at passing those songs now (black dragon, etc)

still having a good bit of trouble with the UR combinations -_-

masterhickle · 12-2-2005, 08:11 PM

not letting my post go until I can get some replies for this:
Are there any songs for SM that anyone can list for me to practice my LD UR trills and increase my speed on the ASKL setup?
Right now I can do 16th runs at about Quasar speed with little difficulty, if that helps the list any

=P

**Chromer** · 12-2-2005, 11:57 PM

Left Index - Left Arrow

Right Index - Down Arrow

Right Middle - Up Arrow

Right Ring - Right Arrow

This is standard for me as I also play Index with my middle fingers.

MEGAginge · 12-10-2005, 08:49 PM

meh, ive always played this way. USED to be able to FC everything except the guru songs ark introduced.... now i cant do shit ofc, serves me right for not playing in 3 years.

**ShakeEnBake** · 12-11-2005, 02:28 AM

i use a pretty basic setup

Right Index = Left Arrow
Right Middle = Up / Down Arrows
Right Ring = Right Arrow

seems to work pretty well for me, i can do most songs reasonably well up through Master. Guru+ too hard though. maybe its just me but spread seems soooo lame for this game.

sorry. I'm sure it takes some skill but not even CLOSE to the amount of skill you need to do one handed.

you play... middle? I have no idea what to call that.

It's called fuck you

seratone · 12-11-2005, 10:45 PM

i play:

left arrow = left index
right arrow = |
up arrow = |= right middle + right index (randomly)
down arrow = |

sk8r_daniel · 12-12-2005, 12:28 AM

When i first started i just put my fingers on teh arrow keys and started pounding away, i never tried anything different except left middle = left arrow, left index =down , right index = up arrow, right middle = right arrow. I can also pllay the same way on the number pad. I can also use my middle finger and ring fingers in the same positions. But I still use the arrow pad the most. I can complete all the levels on ffr, been playing for about a year....well didn't play in the summer. It was really hard at first to get finger strength and coordination for doubles but i got it down now.

sk8r_daniel · 12-12-2005, 12:30 AM

I also play with the screen gonig from top to bottom. Just because I switched it that way at first and didnt bother switching it back. I'm horrible going from bottom to top. ....

Rephlex11 · 12-15-2005, 12:11 PM

i go top to bottom too and i play left arrow = right index up arrow = right middle right arrow = right ring and down arrow = right thumb im only decent.
