i think i can play faster if i memorize the chords from the bottom up and kinda mentally bring em up that way as opposed to saving a 4-note pattern on one hand and another 4 note pattern on the other, do you usually see them as either of these ways or something different? i think by memorizing as 2 sets of 4 i kind of become close minded on finger usage, and when learning from bottom up or atleast running the mental checklist before  summoning up the memorized chord it feels faster and more natural to just use my fingers and start building bottom up, that way i kind of train natural/reasonable finger placement too when solving the puzzle quickly everytime instead of memorizing what finger does what and missing out on some of the fun
i don't quite know what you're talking about
