Sonic Lefties: Unusual Ability?
« on: March 19, 2009, 05:23:40 pm »
So, a while back on another high score site, I noticed a number of people in the Shadow high score lists were left-handed. An unusual number. Like more than 1 of the top ten, which is about the normal distribution of left to right. And I thought, hmm, relationship?

So I'd like to do an informal poll. Post whether you are left/right handed and your ranks in various games in descending order of percentage. If you know of anyone who doesn't post on the forums and their handedness, feel free to include them as well.

For me:
Ambidextrous (Left-bias)

Shadow: 23/96
Heroes: 42/188
SA2B: 90/219
SR: 39/62
S1: 92/202

I'm not sure what to do with the data; one of you sciency types help me out please? <3

Sitewide data is probably more relevant here.

I'm a boring rightie, obviously ranked 2nd. Trying to work out what'd be a good way to determine whether left handers really are more prominent here (and/or rank higher on average) besides just raw numbers.

Also you two are ambidextrous what.

Sitewide data is probably more relevant here.

The reason I want individual game stats is becuase I suspect there's a difference between lefthanded play ease in 2D versus 3D. I noticed that I was much more skilled at the 3D games than the 2D ones almost immediately when I first got SA2, and find it odd that I, who used to get made fun of for sucking so hard at video games, can come close to keeping up with you all. That's part of what made me wonder.

Also, if I want sitewide data for anyone, I can easily look it up quickly with a few clicks. Trying to look at everyone's individual game chart positions is hard and takes up a lot of tabs.

Ambi, right preferred

I can eat, swordfight, perform archery, and block shots at my net with my left hand as my prime hand...

but I cannot write left-handed...

Also of particular interest is the fact that I'm actually more accurate w/ my left hand for "Light Mousing" (the "stat" for how quickly and accurately you can interpret and click on targets w/ a mouse) while using a right-handed mouse than using a Left-handed mouse setting...  and further, that those are an average of 2.3% faster than my right-handed data of both types

I'm righty, and far better at 3d too. I don't think there's a correlation.

I play with my right hand with my left in use as well for the directional buttons and what not.

But mainly I am stronger with my right than left, even though I can eat with my left or right. But I am right handed.

I do not have a stat list here as of now since April 2nd of last year! But I do have a Cyberscore list though to make up for it.
