I have size 11.5 shoes and play on a dedicab, but when I try to do heel-toe on quads it still doesn't work. Should I stomp harder or should I just bend down and do a spiderman-type jump on quads with my hands?


may just be the machine....there could be some areas where the sensors aren't fully making contact etc..


other than that no idea lol I'm flexible so I don't have any problems doing hands with well, my hands O.o

I have another question. Does anyone ever use their hands to hit arrows that aren't necessarily handplants?


I do this on Zodiac Expert, yes. On the Jump...tri-pul-let-jump...tri-pul-let-jump parts, I just crouch down and do it with my hands.


That is bloody brilliant, I can do it with my hands but for some reason I cannot will my feet to do it fast enough to combo that section.

I do that in Dawn expert, where it goes freeze/hand/hand/hand LULUL DLDLD or whichever two it is sometimes...I mean you're down there already, just move a bit and drum it with the hands rather than risk tripping on the way back up or tire yourself out unnecessarily. I'll also do that any time I'm down there for hands and there are only a few steps before the next batch of handiness.

God I love hands they're so much fun.

Sorry for post-whoring, will do better next time

While I'm thinking of it though, do gloves really help you that much? What kind of gloves do you recommend?

I play on upgrades 95% of the time and even on the nice, sensitive ones, I generally walk away with an injured hand. If I fist the hands (which is nice, that's like one less inch I have to lean down), I split my knuckles and bleed everywhere. If I fingertip the hands, I break a nail because I'm a girl, and this is unacceptable. I generally "smack" the panel, which results in what feels like a minor sprain to the thumb joint and some of the other finger joints and I worry about the long-term effects of this. :/

I played on the dedicab that they have again...and I tried QoL again because my friend wanted so see me use hands, and I split my knuckles open because I'd press on the panel hard enough to hear it like a stomp, but it wouldn't register still...I really hate that machine.

Ok, it was as loud as a stomp, you split your knuckle, and it STILL didn't register?

That's impressive. Either you have been cursed with bad hand luck, or that is the dedicab from hell.

Yeah I think it's the dedicab. I just walked off when I saw that it wasn't registering my abusive hitting it with fists.
