SPREAD SPREAD SPREAD SPREAD SPREAD!!!!
Everyone that plays index, imagine this J curve chart in your mind.
MA Rising quickly.
Overall skill peak taking A LOOOONG time to peak out at your max.
Overall strength (strength meaning, HARD songs, jump stream, etc.) being limited.
For god sake your using 2 fingers you have to get twice as fast, and be damn accurate, 4 finger is the best style to play if you're looking to be up there with the pros. I dont care if you play 4 finger arrows. 4 finger spread 2 finger elbow toe. 4 limbs should be on 4 seperate keys corresponding to all 4 arrows.
How much more sense does it have to make?
What are you scared that since you put so much time into whatever style you're playing, that it's pointless to start all over from scratch and learn the game all over? It's worth it. I started from scratch after I was a pro, and started getting owned by everyone again, but seriously if you want to get GREAT at the game, play hard songs, play 4 finger.

haha, I actually already thought about this about a year ago and I made the change
My MA isn't as good as it was when I played index, but that's not something that practice cannot fix.

That all depends on what your comfortable with. for like 6 months i played with 12 (above q and w) and *- (on the numberpad)
its like super spread. some people like it far, some people like it close. thaor plays with m,./ i play with qwop now, i tried a lot of things and qwop seems to fit me pretty well.

3 Finger is fine.
I'm just generally saying, Sure you can say there are some EXCEPTIONAL indexers out there. (Brandon, Izzy etc) but seriously...
Eh. It's your choice, i'm not making up anyones mind in here. You wanna play with 2 fingers, go ahead. When it comes down to "Why do I still suck" Don't say I didn't try helping you out. That's all.

You're only stuck on 3 because it's all you've played.
I was stuck on index for a long time because I didn't know any other style. I just decided one day, let me try something new so since my friend told me about spread I checked it out, and I wasn't good at it so I kept pegging away at it and failed a crapload of songs and just continued with it, kinda made it a game to see what I can AA and what I can't took me months to get my first AAA on a 10 footer lol.
I would just set your keys (q = left p = right w = down o = up) set them like that and try them out see if you like it. it corresponds to the arrows on the screen.

I don't want to be good at stepmania. I've already wasted two years of my life playing it index. Stepmania is a gay game. Why do you still play this shit?  Hi CJ |
