hitting the up and down arows at the same time

eggnite · 02-9-2004, 12:30 AM

i was just wondering, do you think its better to hit the up and down with one finger or with two?

ZEROED · 02-9-2004, 12:34 AM

depends, when it gets too fast 1 is prolly not enough

Two hands are better than one. Whatever you can do better though.

You can, but when you get into the u/d combo, it is a little harder to press the down afterward, and can really mess you up. You can also pull your index finger over to hit the 'down' while your middle hits the 'up'.

Just tap your middle finger across both at the same time (getting perfect on both is easy this way), that way you can still have your other two fingers on the left and right keys when that is the next stroke in succession. Don't take my word for it, but up to about standard now I have not run into any problems.

i would say use to fingers...but thats what im comfortable with

My control style is admmittedly pretty bad. Three fingers, and both up and down are controlled by the middle. if there is a big up/down stream I'll pivot (move my index finger to the down key) but I usually lose my combo in intense, chaotic steps.

I do mine the same way, although at times I can keep my combo unless there's a real long string of up and downs.

If you're playing with one hand, use two. It's much more accurate.

If you're playing with two hands, use two. It's much more accurate.

Oh, and GregHead, your control style needs to be modified. If you're playing one handed, learn to be able to use the index finger for LDU in addition to the middle finger on UD. Ring finger needs to stay on R.

2 fingers to hit up down with 1 hand? Pathetic. Of course, use 2 fingers to hit up+down's with 2 hands, but with one just use your middle finger. You don't have time for fancy shit during 200+ bpm 16ths, you can hit them just as good if you practise moving your middle finger up and down quickly.
