I'm pretty sure its because of muscle memory from playing standard, as I single tap most notes, (left blue, red right) but starting triples for both colours happen with my left hand because that is my single tap finger in standard, which makes red triples a lot more uncomfortable than blue ones. Is this something I have to change, or will it just come with time?

Is starting all triples with the same hand a bad thing? (kddk)

You can get pretty far with that play style, but will eventually hit a wall in terms of speed with the faster onis. Some players learn to alternate only between those patterns that they need to in order to keep up (semi-alt and similar). Others such as myself alternate on every note. For dealing with long streams/really fast bursts, fully alternating is best. You'll want to learn to alternate between triplets since at a high bpm they would strain your hands a ton if you tried to start each one with the same hand.
Ehh I would say it's entirely preference. There's lots of top players who don't full alt -- I'm pretty sure shinchikuhome starts all patterns on his left hand, for example. If you get stamina/speed-walled then you can just learn how to singletap faster 
There is some merit to learning how to full alt, tho. It's a harsh learning curve but it'll help down the line with nested 1/6 patterns because you'll already be used to starting things on your offhand.

i see pros usually start pattern with their dominant hand, you can analyze replays to check
since im right handed, i start patterns with my right hand for triplets

"I single tap most notes, (left blue, red right)" This playstyle is called crosstapping, singletap is when you do it all with a single hand. Also worth noting, blue is called 'kat' and red is called 'don'.Jasorca wrote:

"starting triples for both colours happen with my left" former rank 1 Manji is a right-handed singletapper who starts the stream with left.
Finally, what's important is to stay chill. Don't force it too much, and it will come with time.
Good luck.
