Speaking of what fingers you use to play FFR... - Page 2

Which means his finger nails would be far off hitting the arrow key.

altairian · 02-9-2004, 05:45 PM

think about it... you hit the key with your fingertip normally yes? now if you flip your hand over, what's on the other side of your fingertip? a fingernail! yes that's it.

Privateer · 02-9-2004, 06:33 PM

His hand would have to be leaned forward for him have his nail hit it, which would make his palm face downward.

altairian · 02-9-2004, 06:54 PM

um, what are you talking about privateer?
lay your hands on your desk, flat on your desk, with the palms up. then do the same thing with the ends of your fingers on keys.

Privateer · 02-9-2004, 07:02 PM

Whoa, whoa. We're thinking of completely different things. You're saying his hands are upside down? I thought he put them underneath the keyboard.

Now that I think of it though, it's not really having palms upwards.

banditcom · 02-11-2004, 12:33 AM

I do the standard index/middle of both hands.

**Cenright** · 02-11-2004, 01:59 AM

I use the standard 4-fingers, but I use a variation on positioning.

hydrojakep · 02-11-2004, 05:05 PM

<- left index
^
| right middle
|
\|/ (down arrow) right index
-> right ring

That sucks, Hydro. I don't know how people develop these weird ways to play (i.e. Freak's).

altairian · 02-12-2004, 08:43 AM

haha my dad uses 3 fingers from 1 hand and 1 finger on the other... i tried to get him to stop but it's not like he's a serious player... (he plays DDR songs on light

)

Your the one who came up with upsidown hands.

altairian · 02-12-2004, 03:24 PM

that was chardish.

hudini · 02-14-2004, 08:44 PM

pshh i play with 1 hand and the first 3 fingers(not thunb and pinky) i find that the best way....

Cancerous · 02-15-2004, 10:24 AM

i use both arrow pads, on the right pad i use up and right with my middle and ring finger and on the other pad i use my ring and middle finger for the down and left arrows.

chillywilly · 02-15-2004, 10:40 AM

i use 1 hand 3 fingers

Master_of_PARANOiA · 02-15-2004, 11:34 AM

I use one hand, 2 fingers

EDIT: or my tongue

Origamikid · 02-18-2004, 05:55 PM

I use what nima uses... I think it's the most efficient method; easy to do the slurs or arrows from side to side...

A friend of mine plays with jstu his right hand, 3 fingers (middle finger up and down) but for some reason he does worse with two hands lol... (except when mashing)...
He holds over me the fact that he's better than me with one hand, even though overall, I pwn him so bad lol... unfortunately for me, can't practice at home with one hand cuz my keyboard is a contoured one with the arrows in a strangely different configuration... ah well...

**EDEdDNEdDYFaN** · 02-20-2004, 08:28 PM

I use 1 hand, right index- left, right middle- up and down right ring-right

Its the only way I can beat songs

**Snapps** · 02-20-2004, 08:35 PM

But can you Fc it?

tristia · 02-20-2004, 08:44 PM

generally i use one hand... but i started trying to play with 2 just the other day... started off as my 2 index fingers, but crept to right index and left index and middle... thats what ive been doing lately
