How do i increase my two-hands accuracy?

Turismo guy · 10-18-2012, 01:06 AM

I'm a total newbie,and because i got accustomed to use one hand only,i'm not even able to keep up with "Very Easy" musics' left and right and when the musics get in the their rough parts.

I thought i was not bad with Stepmania 3 in the old times,but with FFR,i've noticed i'm ludicrously horrible!!

Well anyways...i'd like to get opinions on how a bottom-rank newbie like me could get to hitting arrows better with two hands,but note that winter is fastly coming in where i live,and my fingers are cold all the time anyways,pretty much reducing my hand reflexes down to a miserable 30% up to a very imperfect 90% of their normal speed...yeah.

Just practice. the muscle memory is going to take a bit to come into play. After that, play songs that are just barely out of your reach. Either PA wise or combo wise.

**rushyrulz** · 10-18-2012, 07:01 PM

I find playing a series of really easy songs (3-5 difficulty points [1-20 scale] below your comfort zone) temporarily boosts accuracy to where you can play harder songs with greater accuracy. Repeat this cycle enough times and you will gradually get better.

Play things that you have trouble full comboing them (BUT THAT YOU FEEL ARE WITHIN GRASP), and when they start to feel boring/easy move to the next level again. This is how you improve, by pushing yourself, and everything will follow out of that

If your hands are cold, fix that or you will play like shit. Try dunking them in hot water for example

**rushyrulz** · 10-18-2012, 07:23 PM

eh I would shy away from the hot water suggestion since it makes your hands wet and could make them even colder. Putting them near a dry heat source such as a vent or a space heater would be better.

I recommend dunking your hands into a vat of sulfuric acid to warm them up. Works for me every time.

Seriously though, you should probably just continue practicing.

There are some warm fingerless gloves designed for typing - by extension, they're pretty good for rhythm games too, especially if you use a spread-type setup. I have a knitted pair that I use when my room is really cold.

Practice.

Just a question tho:Which fingers from which hands should i use on which arrows? my laptop's arrows are placed to the right (a lot) and when i try,either i 1.:Get tired on my left elbow,2.:Get confused: or 3:Both happens.

BTW thanks for the tips,i'll try them soon!!

just gonna wait to see if you guys can help me figuring out which finger i should use on which arrows to maximize ease and reduce my confusion and then i'll get to it!

**Patashu** · 10-18-2012, 11:06 PM

Remap the keys you use to: qwop (e.g. q = left, w = down, o = up, p = right)
or askl, zx,., rtyu or whathaveyou. Just make sure that you can hit quads on it (if you open up notepad and press and hold qwop do all keys appear at once or do some lag until it's released? If all appear at once, your setup is OK)

The best possible fingers to use for the corresponding arrows would be as follows:

Left: Left hand, middle finger
Down: Left hand, index finger
Up: Right hand, index finger
Right: Right hand, middle finger

This gives you the maximum comfort and speed when hitting arrows. Of course this setup is specifically for spread, which is (in my opinion) the quickest way to gain skill in FFR.
