Getting tired is a stamina problem, not an alting problem. Just play faster, longer songs.SimM wrote:

Nah, jumps are easier with singletapping, lol.
OPINIONS YEAH!
I tried both and single tap is REALLY easier to do crazy high bpm jumps accurately or even without missing.
Too much practicing and grinding to be able to alternate with anywhere near the same accuracy and consistency as in single tap. That is a fact, face it bitches.
if you don't plan to play really high bpm maps, you probably don't need to learn to alternate. but alternating always is a useful talent to have, so trying it out won't hurt.
alternating takes longer to learn, but you reach higher speeds faster, while single tapping is easier to learn, but only a few chosen individuals are able to tap really fast and accurate. for most people, 240 BPM 1/2 isn't a problem to singletap and you honestly don't need more, as there are maybe 50-100 maps ranked that would profit from higher tappingspeeds.

WhatAqo i thought you should have learned already that sarcasm doesnt translate well over text.
you got it all wrong
alternating = jumps is easier
alternating = you gonna suck at streams forever
don't alternate. jumps take no skill anyway. if you ever want to get anywhere in this game you have to only singletap all the time.
Uh.. in case you're serious, I only stated what I have seen from scoreboards. Nothing definite. Theoretically full alternaters should be the best players -provided they have excellent reading skills with all mods- , but noone has proven that yet. So I just assume theres a variable we havent looked at.

Yeah, how did he single tap 1/4 200bpm?
Heading into taboo/censorship territory now. Stick to topic before thread/post deletion.
To OP: If you have a tablet, you may also consider trying Tap + K2. It is very hard to do but the result would be an speed advantage over almost everyone else in the game, mainly because wrist and arm movement is always faster than finger movement.

I have a weak heart thats why lol.. Keep getting out of breath!! 
running out of breath by moving 2 fingers?
And I thought I had a craptastic stamina
I was going to say alternate is less stamina since it's easier to move fingers at half the speed as singletap, but reading the OP, I don't know anymore.
Maybe do some cardio or something

Single-tapping on jumps is pretty accurate, but you might struggle on single-tapping high BPMs (depending on your single-tap limit) in which alternating is better for that. The problem with alternating is that you might not be as accurate as single-tapping.
Just my opinion...
Just my opinion...
Try single tapping on one finger, switching to the other when your finger gets tired. also, try not to press so hard and relax your fingers. Many times i get tired because i'm tapping too hard / my muscles are too tense.
Honestly, I think choosing to alternate on BPMs you can't singletap is like really lame.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but I decided for myself that alternating because of too high speed would be equal to giving up.

why does it matter as long as you're hitting the circles
I thought all the pros alternated, like, no matter what kind of patterns they played ;_;
meh, I'm having troubles alternating between singletapping and alternating, so I'll just stick to alternating

Alternating simply doesn't satisfy me. It feels like I'm cheating. Dunno why.Kanye West wrote:

It is all opinion really. I come from a background in rudimental drumming background, and alternating seems best for me (it is what the rhythms "feel like" in my mind). I will double tap stacked notes however, as I interpret them as doubles (diddles), also, some patterns seem like they should be played like certain rudiments (paradiddles for example). I think to someone without much drumming background, it would be much easier to play eighth note streams and jumps as single taps because you don't have to do any extra mental processing to figure out what finger you will wind up on ect. Also, I have noticed that mechanically, my streams were not even naturally (my middle finger actuates too soon). So I had to adjust that. If you single tap, you don't have to adjust as much.
That being said, I have been fooling around with single tapping things, It seems stressful to me, but perhaps better on jumps.
TL;DR -It is all opinion really. Alternating and rudimental play makes sense to me, but might be easier to learn single tapping from scratch.

I personally suggest you single tap. I single tap myself because I find alternating so much of a challenge, though it's more accurate. Single tapping can get you exhausted & will probably mess up your fingers but that's just coming from personal experiences. I think alternating is better if you're not that great at single tapping & single tapping is better if you're a fast player overall.
Also, Cider is very good for single tapping warm up (or at least I think so). Challenging but it's worth it. single tapping > alternating, imo.

Single tap... When you can single tap 320 bpm and everyone is all like "AMG DAT IS IMPUZIBLE" it's pretty funny.

145 bpm 1/4s are fast, but it's not that hard to achieve if you practice single tapping speed.Aqo wrote:

I love 2013.
There are no longer "140bpm streams"
There is only "280bpm jumps"

Well, yes. The players improve. And they will do that forever. Stuff that seemed impossible a few years ago is now child's play for the pros.Aqo wrote:

Which is why we should start to change our mapping as well. Pro's are getting bored lately, so they DT Maps like Wahrheit, they need new challenges.

well literally speaking, just playing DT Wahreit is something anyone can do. Just apply DT mod, start beatmap and well... good luck from there!
Don't act stupid. Something that has only been FC'd by one person (and that person being Cookiezi) is not "easy".Aqo wrote:

What I meant is that you're not bringing up a good example. There are harder maps that people play now. WahrheitDT is relatively easy compared to many other things "bored pros" play now.Zarerion wrote:

I actually Singletap with jumps. and Sometimes in triple notes. My fingers dont cope up well with streams. XD
Wait. Wait what? If Wahrheit DT is too boringly easy, then the next step would be DTing a map harder than Wahrheit.Zarerion wrote:
