Peak?

overkill46254 · 02-5-2007, 03:46 PM

Hello.......FFR people. I have been playing for a couple of months now and I noticed.....I haven't peaked yet. I thought I did about a month ago....but that was just a lack of playing. I play one handed 3 finger and I'm now in the top 1000. *500 is next* Is this an odd thing or are there others out there who continue to advance with such a primitive technique as the 3 finger. If there is Speak up.....let us.....me here of your climb to the top and let me know that there is a gleam of hope for us one handed people......with suck ass keyboards that like to beep at us.

Sorry to inform you, but that rank is purely based on grand total score, and is not based on skill. Being in the top 1000 does not necessarily mean you are good.

Edit: since it isn't skill-based, any player with any style could eventually reach a rank of 1 if they played enough.

ouch......

Oh, the pain...

Though small, there is a gleam of hope for one-handers. Just look at Manti. Then again, he's switching over to the dark side...: P

Couple of months and you're already in the top 1k?
Damn!

**DarkManticoreX2** · 02-5-2007, 03:56 PM

Hai.

Sig has all the info you need

also I'd still be playing one-and three fingers if my KB's up arrow hadn't broke =/

My kb never beeped, but it didnt register more than 2 arrows at once.

Took me about 5 months, it's not that hard.

Sure it is.......>.>

you will peak relatively soon if you just play one handed. even if there is almost no limit on how fast you can read the notes, three fingers can only move around on four keys only so fast. but two handed spread though, you won't peak for a long time. my improvement has almost been exponential in the past few months after switching to spread from index. try to get a good keyboard; keep practicing,above all ^__^.

I don't understand why one handers have to peak. I can play really fast I just can't read the notes yet.

To be completley honest I still hadn't peaked yet when I was forced to switch. I was getting real close to FC'ing songs like Wish, Delirium and Get down (1 miss on all three). I was coming real close to getting a 900+ cbo on gradeus too. Things happen though.

strongbad50 · 02-5-2007, 05:02 PM

So are you something I should aspire to or what? And what kind of keyboard did you use?

**DarkManticoreX2** · 02-5-2007, 05:08 PM

If you want to be real good one-handed you can start by trying to be me I guess. I was always inspired by Yessssss.

Also I just used the basic KB that came with my Dell Inspiron 6100. If your determined to get good one-handed, try to get a KB with flat keys. They allow your fingers to slide around which is great for songs where you can't get clear keytaps.

how would you judge my skill so far if I can finish crowdpleaser (some random hits lol) with one hand?

Afroman46254 · 02-5-2007, 05:47 PM

eh...peaks are natural. they happen to some and not others, and being in the top 1k is impressive though that must of have been a long time sitting in front of a computer and playing all of those games (4000+) i've only played 370ish, but alas, i'm still all the way out at 22k...oh...and good job for finishing crowdpleaser strongbad ^.^
