I would have to agree with you on that one. Practice makes perfect though.

Re: Learning How To Spread

When I switched from 1 hand to spread, I was better than I was before in a week or two. I assume you'll be much better at spread after you've given it some hard effort/time. If you've been playing the game for that long, I'm sure you'll have no trouble with the hardest part of timing, but the real challenge will be learning how to to running men with spread. :P but hey, one hard pattern to replace like 4 with index? I'd take it.

This is what i have heard. If you stick with it the muscles in your secondary finger for each hand needs time to build muscle. After that you gain your speed back for trills and such. I have not given it to much practice but i have noticed an improvement after playing this way for an extended period of time.

Re: Learning How To Spread

i had to go from pad index to spread too when i changed keyboard. For the first week i swear my scores suck so much, then i started getting used to it and i realized i did trills better and some stuff was easier.

My point is spread owns and everyone need to play spread.

Re: Learning How To Spread

I played index for a really long time before switching to spread. I was very bad for a while but then started improving out of nowhere.

It is worth it in the end if you stick to spread, so just keep that in mind if you start to get frustrated.

Re: Learning How To Spread

I started off being a really good index player at my time (Quasar at 1.4x with 5 goods) and decided it was time for me to learn spread so I can keep up with the new charts that were being released. I can't even describe how bad I was, but after about half a year, I was able to play spread quite nicely.

Just keep trying at it, it will take a while for your coordination to switch to spread.

I just want to make sure I know:

Index is the arrows, and spread is config's like QWOP, right?

100% This.

Re: Learning How To Spread

Spread definitely takes time to get used to. I used to be a primarily index player, don't get me wrong, I still love index, but spread allows you to adapt to the new charts. The only problem I had with the switch were trills. Quick streams of notes are easier, as well as massive jump-streams.

1
Put the butter on a butter knife. This may seem easy, but when you scoop it, scrape it against the inside edge of the container to get this angle. Also, unless the waffle is hot, it'll be easier to leave the butter to melt for a while first, to make it soft.

2
Gently spread butter with the smooth part of the butter facing down.

3
Add anything else you want (extra toppings, sprinkles, a "side dish", more butter) and enjoy! You may want to mix the butter and syrup together with your fork.

Index is using only your index fingers most people play it on the arrows some people will play index on another setup.

I hated spread when I 1st started playing it but after about a week it gets pretty comfortable and I started getting scores that I never thought I could. That's all it really is just time to get used to it once you are you should improve quickly
