FFR's Top One Handers

[Card Man]

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

That is a good point. I think I will switch to spread. This one-handing community is dieing anyway. There really are not more than 10 one-handers worth mentioning. The list is considered inaccurate by most and after seeing so many GOOD one-handers switch; I might as well start too. I learned that not all hands are created equal. Because of this, some one-handers will be better than others no matter what due to genetics. Some people's hand tenons may be more flexible and faster than others. This has also led me to believe that my limit is here or I am very close to it. I doubt I will one hand anymore because if I own playing spread and if I see that as fun; what is the point of one-handing? Take me off the list; spread ftw.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Ya spreads fun for technical files like behan's OSTER ****
But one handing is more fun with files with a steady beat or fun random rolls

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

It's a shame that every one hander who switches to spread gives up one hand permanently instead of mastering both.

Does like nobody pay attention to me then?
I play both Spread and One hand. I'm off the list because I have scores that are Spread that surpass my One handed scores..
Ex: 32-0-0-1 on Southern Cross
Was Spread

Also, I encourage every one hander to stay a one hander. I just reached my limits. Yet I can still rape with it because I consistantly play one handed VS people in MP..
My combo is of lack with Spread.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

:<
How many people still play one handed?

EDIT: Lost patience with TGWP Part 4, so I'm beginning with new AAAs again.
My 150th is my first public 8 foot.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Eh, probably worded it wrong - but I have yet to see a spread player stick with both styles. I'm not saying you won't, but I have my doubts. Also, I'm beginning to sound like a real snob about one hand - shutting up about spread/one hand argument now.

@vantilburg: I intend on playing one handed for some time. Nice job with the AAA, but I figure you were a lot better than that - I mean c'mon, that's your FIRST 8-foot AAA?


Also

First try, etc.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Hahaa that's my first public 8-foot AAA.. and yeah I was holding off on AAAing a bunch of songs until TGWP Part 4 but I got impatient with that =P I was mainly going to work on 6 foot songs and below, but I ended up getting 3 8-foot AAAs earlier today.

EDIT: Got a fourth, Brightone.. And I tried for more and only ended up with more blackflags. Trying longer will just be frustrating so I'm taking a break until tomorrow (or later today since it's 1:18 am -.-)

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

LoL - I take a break and everyone switches to spread. Wild. I'll still chase you from afar, Bynary. It will be just you and me on the active list, with me about 3 years behind your skill level.

You should create a hall of fame list, which freezes peoples' top av rankings, tier level if applicable, and highest level AAA at the time they retired/switched to one-hand, with a little blurb about them. This information is lost on players that have been gone for a long time, but I'm sure that some information about their playing skill is still available. Whether to include people or not could be based subjectively, so Yessss could even be included. Afterwards, individuals could be added by committee.

Honestly, with everyone switching, I'm surprised that Bynary hasn't. He's the one for whom it makes the most sense. With Oni out of the way, he could probably pressure free join the ranks of some of the best who've played this game. Regarding your bad habits: 1) you need to practice using just your middle finger for up-down jumps on easy songs first. On songs that are at your difficulty level, your brain is scrambling and doesn't have any chance to process new information. It means you will likely just go back to songs you've AAAed already and re-play them. I'm talking level 4-6 songs. EASY (for you), then work your way back up. I'm glad I've always used one finger for these. About your arm - muscle relaxers? LoL - just kidding. Performance enhancing drugs for FFR would be ridiculous. When you go back to fixing your up-down glitch, try to focus on relaxing your arm for basic techniques. I might try this - drink a whole glass of water 30 minutes before you play an FGO, massage your arm for 1 minute before, and the while you play it, try breathing a little faster than normal. I suspect that, in addition to nerves causing over-tensing, you're getting some crazy amounts of waste build-up at a local level due to heavy usage.

And lastly, I think that some FFRers have developed repetitive motion injuries, though not necessarily CTS. Mr Rubix, I believe though I may be mistaken, has talked about how his hand won't do the same things it used to, that his fingers don't snap like they once did, and even that his hand now hurts. I suspect some nerves have been damaged. I would recommend being careful about it. Seriously, you will need those hands later in life.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

I'm still sticking with one handed - although I'd better get a major burst of speed sometime soon as I still haven't FC'd {Rose}. D=< I think one miss has been my closest.
Haven't warmed up yet so I don't know how I'll do but if I generally suck it up I'll work on getting tier points/tokens rather than new scores.

Re: FFR's Top One Handers

Alright, I'm sorry I have to say something.. Why is everyone switching?
You know what..
Screw this I'm switching back to one hand. just to prove you can go further then what you think you can. Come on guys don't give up so early.
It took me 3yrs to get as good as I was okay.
I didn't get good out of nowhere..
Just play songs that you can kinda combo and keep on until you combo the whole thing
then move onto something harder
Trust me..
