Finger Styles/layouts

[jortasf]

Hey, I just wanted to get an idea of how people place their fingers when they play FFR. I used the 4 arrow keys with 2 hands, and I'm just wondering if there's any better way at all?
I was also wondering what Shash's finger layout is.

[OnixRose]

well I use 3 finger (index middle and ring) the index rest on the left key the ring finger on the right the middle on the top and I use the middle to hit the down key as well(I compromise on some songs in the Simfile DB when they use multiples of 3)

Shashs is <^86 I think.

If it was, < ^86, that would mean he would have no down key to press...

[OnixRose]

<----still confused about the meaning of the <^86

[g4z33b0]

He means < (arrow key left) V (arrow key down) 8 (numberpad 8 = up) 6 (numberpad 6 = right) I think, but maybe Shash has some strange config.

I'm c v i l on my laptop and <V86 on desktop.

< V 8 6 for desktops
< V > ^ for laptops

I find it hard to play on most hotkey setups since I anchor my hand in certain places on the keyboard.

Shash is <V86
The most common (of good people) is <V86
The most common overall is 1 hand 3 finger arrow keys

Gives me an O2Jam-like feeling when playing, but that's just me.

Index finger, Middle finger, and ring finger on most songs.
Two handed (Left hand: Left and down - Right hand: Right and Up) on hardest songs.

Alright, I'm going to test out < ^ 8 6, it seems a lot better... I was watching Shash on YouTube, I'm pretty sure that was his Finger Style. Dayum is he ever good.

[Shadowlessheart]

left hand uses < and v and right hand uses ^ and >....though I alternate with them during songs to help me combo, so sometimes i'll use my right to hit down and my left to hit up...just depends ^_^

[chunky_cheese]

Im two handed but kind of weird. Three fingers from one handed, but I use my left index for up.

[Gragerty]

Left index on the bottom arrow, left middle on the left arrow, right index on the up arrow, right middle on the right arrow. I'm such a rebel.

[Nick_S_199]

Doesn't shash use <, V, 1, 2,?

Oh and, BTW, All the good players (meaning way better than Shash) use askl(www.autohotkey.com), but mainly play stepmania and not FFR.

[jortasf]

=o! There Are People Better Then Shash? Omg!

[QT-kenny]

i use the 3 fingers my pointy finger heheheh my middle and ring on right hand. but wen i do hard songs like one minute waltz i use my left hand on left arrow with my poiinty finger and the left middle with the other hand i do the same.

[s0d1]

one handed. index on < middle for ^V and ring for >.

[jortasf]

I'm trying to set the AutoHotKey to work as < ^ and 1 2 on the numpad for Right and Down, it doesn't seem to be working... Only the number keys at the top of the keyboard work when I initiate the script, anyone have any ideas?
