1-hand bossing

Re: 1-hand bossing

I play 1 handed with arrows. 3 fingers.

That's definitely the most fun playstyle for me. Best score I've gotten so far would probably be my FC on Novo Mundo.

Bynary was always miles ahead so no one's ever heard of me :c But, I'd say I'm catching up
Pretty sure he retired though so I'm chasing a rock rofl

Anyway keep doin' what you're doin', you're a pretty great one hander and I'd love to see some competition from you.

Re: 1-hand bossing

oh just a quick specification.

I play 1 handed with arrows. 3 fingers.

not 4 fingers.

I assumed this - I think most one-handed players do it this way.

Eugh I think spread is more fun because it feels like I'm playing the song, but I can see why index/1 hand might be fun for some people because it's more dynamic.

I personally play onehanded with 4 fingers (ring,middle,index,thumb), not sure anyone else here does that (besides NekoGon when he tried it last time)

Same, except pinky instead of thumb.

Re: 1-hand bossing

First of all, if you actually intend to raise your speedmod, don't listen to them. I found that I was most comfortable at 1.65X by going up .05 every few songs, making sure I was comfortable at each one before I moved up.

Also, I would suggest staying 1 handed. You'll be much more epic to people, including myself. I played one-handed 1X for about 3 years, then I found out I was able to change the speedmod, and I did. I had a major one-hand boost then. It only a couple months later before I switched to spread. /peer pressure.

I kinda want to play a little 1 handed again now.

I play this way as well. I started with just three and just found it more practical (imo) to add the thumb. I'm not sure why three fingers seems to be the dominate 1-hand technique when there are four arrows. But that's just my opinion.

Re: 1-hand bossing

spread takes some getting used to, but it's way more fun in the long run

if "more fun" means easier, then you sure are correct

@mburns: if you feel like you want advice on getting better, then take the advice of raising your speedmod just a little bit, i suggest x1.15 to get you started

nice play on hotn, better than what i can do at one hand

Well, how did you change it? did you go immediately to something 1.25X or higher? or was it extremely gradual, which actaully works compared to going 1.25X at a time.

Well here I just did these 2 at 1.25x

And yes, I know I'm playing songs a little too far ahead for my 1 handing skills, but I play FFR for the fun songs.

Re: 1-hand bossing

Well, I play one-handed for Challenging songs and lower most of the time, but when I get up there with high VCs, I add my left index finger to the combination of my one hand on down, up, and right. It REALLY helps with harder songs, trust me. I spent 1.85 years of my FFR career trying to learn how to accurately play with one hand.

Rofl, I want to know how you went up speed mod. 1X-1.25X etc, 1X-1.1X-1.2X-etc, 1X-1.05X-etc. How did you move up?
