I've been playing taiko for a while, and I've gotten decently good at it. The highest star map I can currently beat is 5 stars. I'm definitely not a pro or anything. However, whenever I watch professional taiko players play the game, they always use two hands instead of one. I've always played using one hand with the default binding (zxcv for kddk) and while this is fine for easier beatmaps, it makes it much harder to play anything above 6 stars, as it is very hard to hit notes that quickly only using one hand.
I wanted to try doing zxnm for kddk instead, but this poses another problem. While this makes hitting notes faster much easier, it makes certain patterns much harder. What I wanted to do would be something like this
z = drum rim left
x = drum center left
n = drum center right
m = drum rim right
c = drum center right
v = drum rim right
Basically, it would allow me to use either one hand or two without needing to have my hands super close together. I would set the controls to zxnm for kddk, but I would use some sort of bind program to make it that c presses n and v presses m, so even though I'm pressing c, the game thinks I'm pressing n, and registers it as a don.
I tried doing this with a simple macro program (PhraseExpress) but it didn't work. Any ideas on how I could do this? Am I even allowed to do this? I could understand why someone would say it gives me an unfair advantage or something, but does it count as cheating? And even better, should it count as cheating?
Anything helps. Thanks!
