Just out of curiosity I primarily full alternate but I'm practising singleMyke B wrote:
If you're asking this because you want to know if alternating is a viable option in the long run - yes. Just like dragging, it's the minority, but you can still do just as good as the majority (hovering).

No, it is not inferior it is just typically more comfortable to single tap. Sync, Metro, and Silvia all alternated and they all had high accuracies as well.buny wrote:
there aren't many full alternators because it simply seems inferior to single tapping if you can
I was able to notice this when I tried alternating for a couple of weeks. can confirm.JAKACHAN wrote:

In fact, typically learning how to alternate gives you a much easier time on maps where you have to alternate seeing as how you are used to combining alternating with cursor movement.
isn't that a reason why it seems inferior then?JAKACHAN wrote:

Someone is going to misunderstand you again and it's going to start single tapping vs alternating debate.buny wrote:

also on the 2nd statement, that really only applies to slow streams
I think JAKACHAN was referring to the fact that more people tend to find single tapping natural compared to alternating and the fact that a large majority of top players single tap makes people think that single tapping is superior even though there really isn't any basis behind it.buny wrote:

If the superiority/inferiority is completely subjective, then why can't a little bit of comfort be negligible?buny wrote:
comfortability is never negligible.
i understand that some players find alternating much easier than single tapping, but nearly no pro player will go out of their way doing something they don't feel comfortable doing. so the superiority/inferiority is completely subjective to each person
i'm not saying that one is better than the other with my first post btw, i simply mean that, taking in my previous statement, a lot more players will find alternating to be inferior to single tapping, purely because of their own comforts in each method
Maybe and probably, but doesn't subjective mean that some people may sacrifice a bit of comfort for something that is better?buny wrote:
because the method you choose to use in the end is the one you are most comfortable with
whether you think alternating is inferior or not is pretty subjective, don't ya think? I mean there are things like "most players single tap" to back it up, but also most players hover instead of drag, but that doesn't mean dragging is inferior.Buny wrote:

It's only subjective to the point where it's only worse if you aren't comfortable with it but then single tapping is worse for players who find alternating more comfortable. People who believe that single tapping is superior because "most players single tap" are just idiots who are just misinterpreting things.Myke B wrote:

I knew someone was going to misunderstand.buny wrote:
i don't think you read my posts correctly
i never said either of them was inferior or superior, it is different for each person
but alternating seems inferior to most people because single tapping is natural.
would you ever consider taking up your left hand (if you are right handed) to be your primary hand in everyday task? no because your right hand feels more natural thus more comfortable and thus makes the left hand inferior to your right
