MrQuiet versus Thekovinc - Opposite Handed Rivalry!!!

**thekovinc** · Joined: 05 May 2006 Posts: 905 Location: Minneapolis, MN

It's on now! Being bored and not wanting to keep trying to get more points on expert, I am challenging Quiet to an opposite handed rivalry.

I will let him pick the difficulty and song, although I would prefer it to be on at least hard for difficulty.

I await your pick!

Haha.

Alright, we'll play on hard. And for the first song, I choose Spanish Castle Magic.

Btw, we are changing the fret buttons in the opposite direction, in settings, right?

Yes, we are turning on Lefty Flip so the fret buttons are reversed. That would just be ... odd to try and play without it.

Gah.. I tried for the first time and, I failed at 56%

I can't strum as fast with my left hand. Give me a few more tries and hopefully I'll pass it.

Two more tries and I failed at 84% and 88%, but the 4th time I got it:

39,319
46 note streak
79%

I'm playing like I was 7 months ago.

Hmm....

maybe you should practice more :P

I don't mean to get this rivalry off to a bad start, but after my third try at left handed:

...I did say I was pretty decent at it.

Next song: Symphony of Destruction

Maybe while you are getting the hang of it, we could just do it where you get maybe 5 tries and I only get 1?

That might even it out a little until you get better at strumming opposite.

Looks like someone is ambidextrous.

Wow, I'm assuming you can 100% it with both hands? Thats pretty good. I guess I'll try Symphony of Destruction now.

Ugh, I can't beat SoD. My fingers won't even move in the solo. I feel like I'm trying to do everything left handed now. It's confusing me.

I just played it once. I did ok, but I messed up on the main parts a little.

186 NS

Oh well.
