As you may know, most people with really good average ranks play with spread setup in some form or another. I don't pretend to be amazing or anything, but I'm pretty accomplished and I'd like to share my playing style with you.
For a long time I used 3 fingers on the arrow keys with 2 hands.
Left: index
Right: middle and ring
However, this became more and more ineffective as spread songs kept being added to the game over time. And now, because they're everywhere, I've adapted.
What I do is play through a song for the first time with my regular style (that 3 fingers and 2 hands thing) ignoring misses and whatnot, pinpointing all of the key spots where a 4-fingered setup is required (if any). Then, during the second playthrough, I use my original style in most spots and switch to this 4-fingered setup on the arrow keys almost instantaneously when needed.
(Left:middle and index
Right:middle and ring)
This strategy enables me to
A) keep my PA with the style I'm used to when the song isn't extremely difficult
B) nail satanic spread-biased patterns if I need to
Why do this?
I hate hitting those god-awful left+down trills and up+right trills and other patterns that suck on spread or 4 fingers w/ arrow keys.
Maybe it's semi-retarded and I should just practice spread more. Maybe it works and I just need to improve. Just thought I'd put it out there.
