Plain harddrop tapping speed of two hands in NP

[belzebub]

I harddrop with my left thumb on my spacebar. I tried this in NullPomino:

- when the game starts, just harddrop all pieces as fast as you can until you top out

My best results are:

right hand: 9.6 pps
left hand: 6.5 pps

Seems like my left hand-eye coordination is worse then my right hand (i'm right handed).

Anybody else wants to try to compare?

My right hand was consistently faster than my left hand as well. Something to think about, whether your faster hand should be used for movement, dropping or rotation, or what combination of the two. I use my slower hand for dropping and my faster hand for rotation.

We could make this fun and do it for different fingers... my fingers were the same as each other for each hand, except my pinkies which fluctuated more between better and worse than the rest.

My hands seemed pretty much the same. Around 7 pps with left thumb and around 8 with the right.

9.5 was really high! :O

[belzebub]

That 9.6 is with my index finger in fact. My other fingers are much slower, 7.9 is my max with my right thumb. My left thumb is the same speed as my left index finger, probably because I use it for harddrop in my games.

[caffeine]

I use my right index finger to hard drop.
Best I could do was a 12 piece top out in 0.98 seconds (12.24TPS).

yeah, my right arm is consistently stronger than my left

[XaeL]

left (what i use normally) = 10.64
right(whta i use for typing) = 11.42

both first try mind you. Only retards use their thumbs for tetris when you have a keyboard.

Left hand: 60.000 PPS
Right hand: 60.000 PPS

i'm faster with my dominant hand, no surprise there

[freakwithfire55]

[Paul676]

eh I got like 9 or 10pps

[electrofry]

uh i dont know why, but maybe cos im left handed. but i got

12.4 on my left hand
and 9.6 on my right hand.

Shut up, it's not like you're the closest to me in post count or anything…  

Anyway not to derail the thread (DarthDuck's reaction to this:      ), I can swear I've gotten 60.0 before, I guess not. Probably was mixing it up with the 60 during the game, which the last piece slows down. Anyway, 55.384617 pieces per second (same score for both hands):

I actually use my index finger instead of my thumb, I was probably a bit confused by typing.

I'm quite impressed i really can't get +10pps. What kind of keyboard do you use?

My right hand was consistently faster than my left hand as well. Something to think about, whether your faster hand should be used for movement, dropping or rotation, or what combination of the two. I use my slower hand for dropping and my faster hand for rotation.

I do the same, my left hand for harddrop and right for movement and rotate. Only left rotate is also my left hand. I was actually thinking (because of the speed difference) to put harddrop under my down arrow so it's more in sync with the other movements

When Lapsi goes 5pps it actually starts to be quite difficult already for me to just harddrop consistently at that speed.

With my pinkies I only go 5pps, and that's because my whole hand is moving, not only the pinkie.
