GHP doesn't really one hand it, he holds his finger on his strumming hand on the green and elbow strums. or lately, he taps only the blues and oranges. I've found the most consistent way is the Iamchris4life method, which is alternating tapping with fretting. Once you get this down, it is 100% consistent every time. and it's way less work than one handing it or tapping only the blues and oranges, because you're doing half the notes on your fretting hand. Have to start it with an elbow strum though. I might make a hands vides eventually if people want me too. Makes the rest of the song easier, and it's nice to get those sps and have 100k at the break

well, I'm crap at one-handing it, I fail everytime. So I just tap it so my hand doesn't explode

Not trying to force my ways onto you or anything, I'm just saying for me it's easier to tap. So can you reliably get the SPs in the intro? And my hat goes off to you, because your hand must be a beast if you can one hand it. But for the average play, it would probably be easier to learn to tap it if your fingers aren't fast enough like mine

When you've been playing so long, fatigue doesn't really matter considering that the song doesn't really get any faster than 13.3 NPS, outside of What The and Red Snake. I can consistently 4 star it and neither hand gets tired in about 4 consecutive runs. I had to practice for MONTHS to beat the intro, and it's something that has to be FC'd or close to FC'd to consistently pass it.

Not that I'm saying I can hit everything anyway, but my hand definitely doesn't get tired, at least in the first few runs. TTFAF is as much a mental test as it is a physical one. Nobody can deny that.

Prett much anything DWDTG and harder will give you fatigue in the first run, I don't think TTFAF will. Of course, I've been playing since Christmas last year so for someone just starting out, it will definitely seem like the hardest song in the series.

Fair enough. You win

I forgot what we were arguing about in the first place. But it's all in good fun, right

Richard's hand>Mark's hand

At least when it comes to the intro

Well, if you add a years worth of progress you'll at least be 700King it. I was at right about your level/number of FCs when I 5*ed it. I think the maximum I could get would be like 750k. I had a run today where I FCed the second half of Bridge 2 under sp, had 375k there and bombed the rest of the song and got like 620k. Choked both grinding scales and all the SPs I usually get I was pissed..

I don't think 700k will take quite a year... but still a long time.

I don't really even play it anymore, if I sat down and played it for half an hour each day, my score could improve drastically. Motivation is the only thing I need
