Using your hands on an arcade machine

[VivaLaMoochicken]

Umm...I was playing a song (Queen of Light Expert) and every hands part I would hit the pad pretty hard, but it wouldn't register.Then when i'd get to a normal part everything was fine though...Is there anything I should know about how to play on an arcade machine,(first time playing at the arcade). I think I might just need to adjust to it.

What type of machine are you playing on? (upgrade, crap-o-cab, or dedicab)

[Pēńġũīń™ ▶◀]

you dont hit the arrows with your hand
you press on them

On like-new dedicabs and some home pads, you could just tap the arrows with your fingers and still score on the arrows.

My recomendation is if it is a crapocab, get gloves and use your fist to hit the arrows. Worked for me on the worst of pads

sometimes the arrows maybe like this



you gotta go on all 4s(hands and feet)

or



as well.

that is prolly the easiest way to go than shifting one foot to both arrows!
it registers better!

songs like BEND YOUR MIND or TWILIGHT are the best examples with these kinds of steps!

or Anubis or Queen of Light.....

Anyways, if you're on a Cobalt Flux or a dedicab, you don't even need to use hands most of the time, ESPECIALLY if you have big feet. 1 foot per 2 arrows, woot!

But, if you have to use hands, I suggest getting into position before the particular hand comes up (Sometimes this is hard due to mines like Vertex2 Hard) and use your hand like you would your foot: Press down firmly and put weight on it.

If my post sounds ridiculous, know that hands almost NEVER give me problems........all the other stuff does

I suggest learning how to do the hands with your feet. There are some songs, like Queen of Light, that are almost impossible to score well on without hands, but I avoid actually using my hands as much as possible. It conserves energy and reduces pad misses for me significantly.

I tri-starred Qol doing every single hand it has.(afterburner)

But I don't think that'll work on an arcade machine. Besides the fact that I would probably get a stupid miss because I would completely not hit an arrow, but arcade pads would probably not like me using a hand to hold a freeze.

So yeah, If you're on an arcade pad, I would recommend learning to do most of it with your feet.

I have size 11.5 shoes and play on a dedicab, but when I try to do heel-toe on quads it still doesn't work. Should I stomp harder or should I just bend down and do a spiderman-type jump on quads with my hands?

I just find it easier to use my hands...my feet aren't big enough to hit two arrows at once and it register on both. I tried QoL on a different machine today, because I went to Islands of Adventure (in Florida) and got a better score than I ever did, but my hands were numb after it.I passed my first 11's today too...Utopia and Destiny.
