Hey all, I'm sorta new to the forums and all that. About two months back, I got a Windows Surface Pro 2 to have as a laptop/tablet/portable monster, and also for osu!. I used to play wayyy back when osu! first started, but I wasn't really happy with it, simply because I had played the DS games and loved them to death, so I was really used to touch screen controls. I never got a drawing tablet, so I ended quitting for a long time. With the Surface, I'm basically playing exactly how I did on the DS, albeit a much bigger screen. It's tons of fun though, really. I play purely with the stylus, no z/x, etc. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Anyway, I feel like I've gotten decent at the game now, but streams are literally the bane of my existence. I know there's a TON of threads on "lol how 2 stram," but a lot of it doesn't apply to me, because of the playstyle I have. Keeping rhythm isn't a problem for me, it's the physical motion that makes it very difficult for me to do, as I'm using the wrist and/or elbow as opposed to alternating fingers. On faster songs where streams show up with no breathing room before or after, it's really brutal, because I tend to tense up some in order to do the stream. I'm not looking for a cure-all answer, and I know more practice will make me better. What I'm looking for is other people who play the way I do, or at least similar, and how they physically handle streams.
Really, any sort of feedback would be appreciated.
