Single tapping or alternate tapping is better in terms of accuracy? I'm an alternate tapper, tend to get tired halfway through the song..

depends if you're a single or alternate tapper

you can't really compare since both require some sort of musical sense

If you get tired while alternating then you sure as hell won't last long if you tried to singletap lol.

As to what is more accurate, it all depends on which method you're more accustomed to (or whichever you practiced more).

Singletap looks cooler in replays

on >240 BPM

Mechanical keyboards are very good solutions for poor stamina. In my case, when I bought mine it did increase my BPM by like 20~ but the biggest gain was being able to stream endlessly at close to my max speed.

Anyway, in terms of accuracy I think silvia proved that you could be accurate enough by alternating everything. The problem is that from observance you can tell that full alternating players are not very good at doing big fast jumps, but that might only appear to be the case because there arent that many alternaters around to begin with. Another challenge it looks like they have is rotating fast 1/4 sliders. One thing you can be sure about though is that they are the best when it comes to 0108 style maps. Look at little boots click for example, and white wolf's play of made of fire.

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.

It's because you don't alternate a lot maybe so just alternating in itself makes it harder for you?
For somebody who has trained both alternating and singletapping equally jumps are way easier with alternating.

Nah, jumps are easier with singletapping, lol.

OPINIONS YEAH!

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

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.

Aqo i thought you should have learned already that sarcasm doesnt translate well over text.

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.

single tap all the way
