Indexing

[TD_Project]

on FFR there is the phenomenon of Index playing, this is using two hands and only the index finger from each hand. This isnt the point of the thread though, the point is, why do you use index/spread? other than for gaining skill.

i mean i use index because me and my friend when we first started playing ffr (back when MP wasnt around) we used index because it more replicates DDR, two legs (two hands) and a foot for each (finger for each). This way you can practice crossovers and still get ahead on DDR.

Now a days i see lots of spread players, and one handed players. not only is one handing it probably bad for your hand in the long run, but both spread and one handed players arent getting the actual DDR feel. but then again this is FFR, so maybe this is a trademark of the Musical Genre. Ability to hit all 4 arrows at the same time.

Kind of makes you think.

Re: Indexing

I've never played this game to get "the DDR feel".

When I want the DDR feel, I either index DDR songs in SM, or play actual DDR...FFR isn't a replacement for either IMO. Thus why I play spread.

Plus, for some songs (classics especially), the "DDR feel" isn't necessarily a good thing. Not only would Molto be pointlessly impossible on a pad, but it'd also be really lame because the steps are kinda supposed to simulate playing the piano piece, not dancing to it.

Re: Indexing

I play FFR to simulate making the music. I'll play DDR to "dance."

What he said.A song like Revolutionary Etude would not be fun even if you could do it. NOT MADE FOR DDR.

Re: Indexing

I play FFR spread because my fingers itch and I dont have enough money for a piano yet XD so FFR is the replacement kind of/not really.
