    Should I learn to use two hands?

    I played 1200 games so far, and I usually play 'difficult'.
    I always used only one hand, but tried to change to two hands a few times.
    However, when I try to play harder songs, it is very hard to play with one hand.
    Is it OK to keep playing one hand, or should I change so it might be hard at first but I can be better?
    When I tired using two hands, it really confused me, so I had to give up.
    I also want to know if there are people that can play very hard songs using one hand.

    EugeneKim? Are you from Cal High? Anyway, yes, you should. Much better, you should be beating your 1 handed scores in days.

      One of the best one-handers at the moment is Redorigami. He's gotten some crazy good scores, and I know for sure he's unlocked Otaku Heavy. I also believe Darkmanticorex2 once played one-handed and used to be one of the best also.

        Play Beatmania IIDX. You're basically forced to play 2 hands there. Then, come back to FFR. It'll be a breeze.

            I play one-handed. Yes two-handed is a lot easier but I think it's a lot more fun with one. Do whatever you like but two-handed would get better scores in less time.

              lol. I switched months ago. But yeah it's possible to be fairly good, like unlocking [Heavy], and AAAing some challenging and VC songs, but switching to two hands never hurts.

                Thanks to all who replied here.
                I guess I will switch to two hands.

                    You can become really good with one handed, though it takes much more time and more practice. It's a personal decision and if it makes you happy to switch, then by all means do it but not because people tell you to.

                        It's a matter of opinion on what style is best for everyone. The vast majority of people find it easier playing spread, and it is, but I find that it's a much better accomplishment mastering one hand because not as many people go for it.

                        With practise comes dedication, dedication is what leads you to your goal.

                            In my personal opinion...go for it.

                            Feel several different pains, before they're colored pure red
                            Make a little chance! Start connecting us into to tomorrow, ready and go!
                            No matter how many times I keep going down, in these unending rounds
                            I'm gonna keep up! We can create hope, it's our story!
