Turntable size doesn't matter, as long as you're able to hit the scratch and the controller works, you're fine. You're supposed to be pinky scratching if the scratch comes up or if you're playing scratch heavy songs, use your: middle, ring, pinky for a firm grip on the TT to scratch and use your left hand to hit the keys and right thumb to hit keys 6 and 7 if necessary.YayMii wrote:
Finally got that USKOC that I've been wanting to buy for a while, and managed to magically overclock the polling rate to 1000Hz, and it feels incredibly responsive! Pretty awesome considering that I've been hearing all sorts of complaints about input lag and being limited to only 250Hz. I also found out that the d3d antilag hook also seems to work with the tricoro AC, and that helps quite a bit too.
Anyways, I'm trying hard to make it back up to 3dan (where i was on keyboard before I switched), but some of the more scratch-heavy songs are really killing me. I don't want to be developing bad habits from using a smaller turntable (e.g. pinky scratching), so I really don't know how I should be scratching. I'm okay with maps like Shakunetsu Beach Side Bunny (N) where you're practically playing the keys one-handed though, it's only the transitions I have problems with. Any tips or info that I should know?
Since you're making the transition from keyboard to controller, it'll take you a few games here and there to re-adjust. The most efficient play style (//imo) has to be 1048-shiki which is playing like this: http://www.nicozon.net/watch/sm21611440
So what you're doing is that your left hand is static and right hand is slightly shifted in a horizontal position in which it makes it easier to reach out to catch the TT notes, the position goes as followed:
Key 1 -> Left Ring
Key 2 -> Left Middle
Key 3 -> Left Thumb
Key 4 -> Left Index
Key 5 -> Right Index
Key 6 -> Right Middle
Key 7 -> Right Thumb
TT -> Pinky
Usually I play a lot of BMS using this position and at times I have to resort to wrist scratching, but you can get around with just pinky scratching, you just have to be a little faster.
