Any right handers playing GF with Left?

[chocori]

Hello Bemanistyle, have not seen you in a while

I picked up GF again to resharpen my dulled reflexes with some lightning fast speed mods (slow reflexes are highly detrimental to your performance in Street Fighter IV, don'tchaknow ) but since I haven't played in years, I can barely pass 40s or play at the higher speeds anymore.... so I figured if I had to relearn the game, I might as well relearn it from the beginning with Left, just to make things interesting. I'm sure playing Left comes with other benefits too.

Has anyone learned to play the game with Left despite being right handed? Have you gotten any benefits from it? Has it made you a button drumming king and given you an ultra buff right forearm? Have any tips for someone starting out?

I'm fairly sure that the "left" mod is the rarest one out there. If you choose to play with it on, you'll definitely be in a class of your own no matter where you go, so it's definitely something to pick up if you're willing to make that effort -- I can tell you that my efforts to try out the Left mod were met with abysmal results... it remains the only "light" that I don't turn on when I play

While you're there, also consider playing open pick~

I tried playing with left for a little while when I first got the game, because I hadn't learned to alternate pick, and strictly downpicking rendered me unable to play for more than 20 minutes at a time. It was awkward, and the strap on the KOC made it harder than it needed to be.
