One Handers Are Gods in the FFR World?

Re: One Handers Are Gods in the FFR World?

Sooo, you can't have fun playing spread then? Seems like it would be harder to have fun when you're struggling on some of the most fun files in the game that happen to be 10-12s.

From the beginning the initial fun factor derived from the positioning of ones hand and the constant repositioning to adjust to the corresponding pattern and keeping up with it never faltering. To answer your other question, yes, I have fun getting getting 14 goods on ketzarku mozgalom or however the **** it's spelled. I wouldn't call that struggling as much as I would call it beasting. I have for a while been better than most spread players as a majority.

Using one hand is fun! Didn't bother reading ALL the posts, and id say that its possible to get really good at one hand just like it is spread. Sure it might be impossible to do some songs in the game but still i love it! I have no intension of ever switching either, so i will either get really good or end up quiting at one point. lol
But anyways YES, one handers are god in the FFR world if you can get good enough to be able to AAA over an 8. -_-

Re: One Handers Are Gods in the FFR World?

Played one handed for about 3 years, got like 85 fc's, and maybe 10 AAA's.
Switched to two hands in 2007-8 turnover approx, improved a good bit. Pretty sure I've reached my limit now,
I can't play spread for shit. So idk if I'll ever get better...

I personally think the hierarchy of respect should be as follows:
(top)
Elite Players. - One Hand, then spread.
Great Players. - One Hand, then spread.
Good Players. - One Hand, then spread.
Okay Players. - One Hand, then spread.
Noobs. - One Hand, then spread.
Pathetic Players. - One Hand, then spread.

I would say that a one handed player should only really get about as much respect and reverence as a spread player of that same skill level, because they aren't up to par with the next group, yet have overcome obstacles to get where they are at. Playing one handed is an impressive feat in my opinion, but I'm not going to give a D5 one hander the same respect as a D6 spread player, simply because the D6 player has more skill. If we had a top player AAA'ing FGO's one handed, they would, in my book, be more worthy of praise than our other top players.

If you suck one handed, you don't deserve to be praised any more than your skill level permits in my opinion. And it isn't any different for scroll rates or directions either.

From my observations, typically spread players do hold all the records out there other than specific "one-handed records." If I'm wrong, correct me please.

how open minded you must be

here's your opinion

everyone switches to spread

that's not the case with everyone, people who play one handed still either want to keep everything original like this game used to be, or they actually like setting themselves up for a challenge, don't assume so much

but you are right that people who play one handed don't deserve more respect than spread players, who honestly cares? people choose their own style

Re: One Handers Are Gods in the FFR World?

Impressive one hand scores obviously deserve a lot of respect but they'll never achieve as much as a spread player potentially could. Handers obviously know this and they might not even care which is fine.

It's all up to the player, what they want and what works best for them. One handed play (in my opinion) looks way cooler than spread even though they're not getting the scores of a really skilled spread player.

Are they gods in the FFR world though? Not a chance, then again, maybe that's just my personal opinion again. The interpretation of gods is gonna vary from player to player so continue..

Wow, how totally confused you must be.

I never said anything about switching, I never said anyone couldn't enjoy their style..

Summary of my post:
One handers don't deserve more respect than spread players that play better. I was stating my opinion based on the title and theme of this thread.

I know everyone chooses their own style, that's what makes the game fun.

EDIT: I'm not in any way putting one-handers down, you guys are great.

Re: One Handers Are Gods in the FFR World?

I used to be a one hander but It was extremely hard to PA songs with high difficutly levels so that's one of the main reasons why people tend to switch to spread. Don't get me wrong though, it is an admirable feat to be noticed as an outstanding one hander but there's just no way you can become a top ranked player like that.

I played with two fingers back then. (Wrecked my ring finger in a basketball accident lol) And I sucked so bad that I had to cut the video short before it got to the hard part.

Re: One Handers Are Gods in the FFR World?

SO THIS IS THE ENTIRE THREAD:


One handers are certainly more respectable considering, but will never be as good as a spread player could ultimately be.

Spread players will always be better in the long run.

As long as the person playing the style is happy, who really gives a shit?

Play what you want, people will base their opinions on your scores depending what style you play. - My opinion

Re: One Handers Are Gods in the FFR World?

Bar is to No-Bar as Spread/Index is to One-Handed

That may be a loose analogy if you take it into consideration.
