Re: spread

Overall just shows you have played a lot, and getting 929 in 2 years is not that great, sorry.

To the rest of you, its not like spread is godly way to play FFR and the only way to be good. Some people just feel more comfortable playing it. Theres also songs where you wont be good at.

You can look at all the top FFR players and see which ones play spread/index just index or just spread. Talk to them and get an idea on why they use what they use, then try out all the styles for yourself.

What songs would you not be good at with spread?? I'm pretty sure it's been essentially proven that spread is the way to go, with the possible exception of having to modify it slightly for trills (ie FOTBB or BB Revenge) then you still play spread for the majority of the song but for longer trills switch to index.

overall spread = best for all-around gameplay

also, breaking top 1000 or top whatever is entirely based on playrate. i broke top 500 in less than six months last year but then didn't play hardly at all until school let out again. however, last summer i also played for like 4-7 hours a day. skill=time invested

Re: spread

AIM Anthem and other vibrating songs are especially hard for spread players I take it by the ranks they have on them.

Not especially hard, but difficult since us spread players can't focus on having only indexes jacking. But some spread players are REALLY good at jacking. And jumpjacks are easier with spread IMO.

Re: spread

Took me a few songs to get the key setup down when i switched from index to spread.

One hand is the easiest with jump jacks. I'm referring to repeated jump jacks, like AIM Anthem and Death Piano purple jumps. If you mean jumps like in Reality or Piano Etude Gymnastics, then Spread is the best.

Re: spread

I agree with Destiny, but for AIM Anthem and Club, I would use index (at least when the jack attack starts kicking in) because of the moving jumps. Playing spread on those two songs is hell, especially when going for a good PA.

Re: spread

My point was that spread isnt the only good style.

Yeah, those.

But left-down/up-right jacks are easy on spread at least, since they're one-handed jacks.

And left-up/down-left jacks alternating are the worst for spread, IMO, since most people are right-handed. I can't do them as good, but I'm fine with right hand.

Re: spread

you learn it as soon as 5 songs. you should start off with either tricky songs or difficult songs to get some early pratice.

Re: spread

I went from using, the first two fingers on my right hand, and 1 one finger on my left, to now playing spread. Spread pwns all no matter what.
