those 1/2s are for a longer period of time though, the 180 bpm dt insanes he does only contains burst of streams that a lot of people can do
also merge would be good since they're basically the same topic

I single tap usually, but I obviously alternate for streams.
I alternate on everything and I have no problem streaming high BPM, learn to alternate everything and you'll never get tired on 300+ bpm 1/2.
i alternate all the time, but sometimes i use singletap if i see that alternating gives me bad accuracy.
I single tap everything, unless I really like a song that is too fast to single tap.

Single tapping does not increase your alternating speed
Alternating does not increase your single tapping speed
You single tap with either your wrist, or even better, your arm.
You alternate with your fingers
Otherwise you're doing itwrong in a way where you never get really good at it.

True, unless you're really going to dedicate to single tapping, you should alternate "everything". I can single tap 300bpm 1/2's, but it gets tiring after 15 minutes, even after playing similar games for years. Alternating is always better.Jordan wrote:

What's wrong with single tapping with your finger? I don't think you can say that some way that you/the majority of players don't use is the wrong way to do something.
Unless you're actually trolling, in which case you can ignore everything I just said.

So now you're saying it's impossible to get good at finger singletapping

You can be good even if you single tap with a finger, but you'll never compare against people who practice as much as you, but use better methods. Honestly, do you think track pad players can ever be better than tablet players?

When trackpads catch up to tablets in quality. (Just wait a few years)
EDIT: To stay on topic.
I alternate, but sometimes tap twice on one finger. (Maybe my hand is dumb.) It's comfortable for me and after years of plays guitar/bass/rhythm games my fingers are already pretty durable. I can stream at about 210-220 when warmed up, a little bit faster when the streams are only in short burst. Idk if that is even a good speed for osu! play but w/e.
If you can't learn to single tap fast with your finger quickly doesn't mean it goes the same for everybody. I find single tapping with the arm and wrist very tiring and I can actually single tap faster using my finger rather than my arm/wrist.BRBP wrote:

BRBP says you can't do that. You're obviously just getting your second wind when you switch over.
There's something wrong with your quote, knick...
Enquire, you can of course single tap faster with your finger, but that's just lack of practice. Doesn't really matter if you aren't ever going to even try to single tap something like mendes, but after that "finger players" are out of discussion.

You replied "150 (very inaccurately)" to my thread about how fast you can single tap...enquire wrote:

why would you want to singletap mendes anyway?

I did say I can single tap 150 inaccurately, but what is really the point in practicing to single tap streams that fast? You are merely wasting time practicing something that is easier done alternating.BRBP wrote:

What
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.
help, im really confuse right now, i dont really know what im gonna use, singletap or alternate ?... i started with the alternate with arm/wrist everything, because i think thats the best accurate for me but when i watch some replays, they use singletap and somtimes alternate when 1/3.... and i want to improve more, and i dont understand what jumps or streams your talking about.... xD.. sorry for my poor english -_-
Use whatever you're most comfortable with and don't listen to Aqo.
Honestly that's the answer to 75% of the questions on here.

i freestyle, switching between both while playing. although i am a lot better at singletapping.
i find that a hybrid method of freestyling them both works best

I'm not sure which category im at yet...
I've tried singletapping instead of alting but in the end it became a mix or both and the problem with that is while im playing...
I cant decide to alt or singletap and screw up LOL
but then after a while maybe i'll get used to it..
I alt when its just a few sliders and notes
then singletap when the fast stuff comes out
but im not really sure which one to go for lolol

I singletap 90% of the time, and alternate during streams, triples, fast series of sliders, and general cf's which I can't even honestly play (see Scarlet Rose for the first 10 seconds).
Alternating seems so much easier to me, I feel it can be a little less accurate at times but if you just practice you can get over that obstacle.
I find alternating slightly more challenging to keep on beat, but it has more potential in streaming harder maps. I am very used to alternating and doing it for all my plays. It all comes down to each person's opinion.

i singletap to the point where ill watch the top 50 scoreboards on maps that are using no mod/hd/hdhr and people there will be alternating the parts i can singletap without any mess-ups... meh.
I prefer single-tapping, but if I can't singletap I alternate
I single tapped for AGES until recently I tried switching to alternating. Now I'm a full on alternator. To be honest it doesn't matter what playstyle you use as long as its comfortable for you.
i feel like alternating is better on like 190bpm and lower but above i think on some parts especially 220 or higher bpm streams you will be bad just my opinion tho
but i cant have that in the internet can't it?

Single Tapping usually gets tiring because you are using one finger most of the time and all the pain will go to the one finger, you barely get to use the second
finger (except for streams and stacked notes).
In my opinion, alternating is better because you spread the pain to both fingers, as well as you can save stamina; however, one problem to this is getting your
fingers twisted up. To me, it depends on what finger you start on.

You get much less pain, if any, by tapping lightly.Angellect wrote:

single tap cause it makes you feel alpha!! anyways do whatever you feel comfortable.
I know this is an old tip but this actually works. Like even singletapping 8 notes per finger helps regenerate your stamina for the odd occasions where you need really fast singletaps; if you want to pursue singletapping in fast songs but only have stamina <200, singletap in groups.loldcraft wrote:
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.
