    Well, the most common way, and the only way I know of (without key-mapping) is index playing. You take your right hand, and place your index finger on the up (^) arrow, with your middle finger on the right (>) arrow. You then take your left hand, and place your left index finger on the bottom (V) arrow, and you place your left middle finger, and place it on the left (<) arrow.

    If it doesn't feel right, you can either continue playing that way until you get used to it, or continue playing one handed, and just practice. If you aren't that good a first, switching your playing style may not always help. But, it's easier (for most) to play two handed.

    If all else fails, you can try playing spread. There are a few key-mapping programs out there, and I'm pretty sure at least one of them is stickied in a thread. Here is the stickied thread, with the most popular key-mapping program. There is a much simpler and more effective version, which I have, but I cannot find it at the moment. I'll post it once I do.

    Hope this helps. =)

    EDIT:: Found it

      Umm "kooties" just keep on practiseing with one hand, it took me awhile to "master" one hand..(im not the greatest at it tho).. For the UP and DOWN arrows i just starighten out my middle finger and lay it down ontop of both keys. It takes a while to get usto, but im sure you'll get the hang of it(:

      The total amount of fingers I play with is three. It will probably be the easiest way to play one handed with (:
      -Index finger
      -Middle finger
      -& Ring finger

      Hope it helps

        You can play spread without keymapping. You use
        < and V and 8 and 6

                So, scroll the screen up until you only see the top-half, huh? Sounds a bit risky, but I'll try it out, anyway. Gotta learn through experience, right?

                Armored Core is one of the best mech game I've ever played!

                    Playing other people only helps you improve in competitive things. Since "playing someone else" doesn't actually modify your own play experience at all, I don't see how playing someone else will help you improve more than just playing will.

                      Try playing one hand two fingers, if you can do that then you must be getting better lol.

                        Also, if you play somebody else it multiplayer, you might get worse. Most of the time, the game lags while in MP. Therefore, you might not be able to play at teh best of your ability, and you might start doing bad once it stops lagging. I'd just suggest playing by yourself.

                          i have played other DDR based games and have owned em all but when i played this i said holy cow i can't even beat standard or very easy.
                          so i just started playing the weak songs and after 2 hours i tried a standard and i saw that my reaction time has gotten better!
                          i think you just need to practice and to get used to seeing the arrows go fast.
                          i play with one hand and i have always played with one so maybe i should play with two?
                          who is really really good and can perfect a classical song with one hand?

                            i play one handed, and i'm not the greatest, but i have no trouble FCing any song up to tricky difficulty, and i can finish most other songs as well, it just takes practice, find a style that works, and stick with it. Me, i'm proud of my rank under 6 digits

                              I find that if I'm having difficulty in a particular song, I'll go play another song instead of whoring it. Sometimes just that little change of pace can be all you need to do better.
