Techniques for FFR

[Ice-Dragon]

I was wondering how other people played on their keyboards. I personally play with 2 fingers (the same way I play ddr, I even cross over my fingers sometimes), and I get good scores doing this, but its pretty much impossible to move my fingers that fast on songs like uber rave. Do most people use a finger for each key or do you just have freakishly overdeveloped finger muscles?

1. Fingers do NOT have muscles.

2. Look at the "n00bs READ" sticky topic.

fingers do have muscles, they just aren't in your finger

ok, number one it is possible to move your fingers fast enough if you just use two fingers (1 on each hand) take someone like arch for example... you just need practice. Some people play with one hand, some with two... I use a combination. Usually two hands two right fingers (up and right), two left (left and down), and hit jumps with right hand alone.

Please noobs, stop asking the same questions over and over again. Everyone plays different, so stop asking this question.

the best thing to do keep one finger on each arrow so then you dont always have to move ur fingers a bunch thats what i do!

[Moogy]

People need to stop posting retarded threads like this...

But, oh well...

I use one hand, three fingers.

[Brainmaster07]

I used both middle fingers .

[Arch0wl]

I use 2 fingers, my index finger on my right hand and my index finger on my left hand.

And do not ask for tips, advice does not make you better.

Here's the Quad Technique for people who can make their brain think of each finger as always being assigned to one key. It is real easy for 2 keys-at-a-time combos as soon as you learn the technique.

It uses the index and middle finger on both hands. Place your left hand in front of the keyboard for the left arrow (left hand, middle finger) and right arrow (left hand, index finger). Your right hand is over the 10 key, fingers facing towards the middle of the keyboard. If your hand is big enough, you rest the thumb just under the "0", "Period", and "Enter" keys, with the bottom of your palm resting just to the right of the "+" and "Enter" keys. The down key is your right hand's index finger, and the up key is the right hand's middle finger. After in this position, you can find more comfortable locations to rest your hands. This is for a standard keyboard, and is really hard to use on a Microsoft Natural, but can still be done.

(Main Problem for your brain!!!)
You will switch the Up and Down Arrows in your head in the beginning. Just keep at it, your brain will adjust.

"Your right hand is over the 10 key..."
i dont have a 10 key

[Cenright]

Im guessing this is a laptop then

The 10 key is on the right side. you put your left hand on first very low. your right hand then goes on top, sticking out to the right so that your right hand index finger is above your left hand index finger. it isnt the other way around.

I think you would be able to figure that one out mr. controvercial. Did that ever get settled? Oh yeah, and if you go to the end of that "MickeyFox Cheater? I think not" forum, i have another post there. maybe a little intesting if you like programming.
