I need to know all the DDR Obsessors out there. I'm one of them. But anyway, I just want to know how good all of you are, if you have any vids, that kind of stuff. Oh ya, post scores!!! I'll start:

04.03.04
(1) i feel... (Heavy 9) - B
(2) Kakumei (Heavy 9) - A
(3) Rhythm and Police (Heavy 9) - B

I'm a DDR freak as well. My mom won't let me play that much since she's afraid I'll slip and fall. Anyways, I can't get past Standard becuase I've only played about 5 or 6 times. Used to play Stepmania as well.

<span style='color:violet'>oHhH yeah ddr! lol ill just post my favorites ^_^
hysteria (medium) A
drop out (easy) B-man that song is NOT easy lol
dead end (medium)A
afronesia(sp?)(heavy)B
oh yeah and by the way...i heard they did an english dub of the song "heart of sword"!!! does anyone know which version that is on?</span>

I've never heard if that song. I've never seen it on the latest we have (DDR Extreme). I'll be on the lookout.

<span style='color:violet'>its probably on one of the old ones...since its kind of an old song...."heart of sword" is the ending song for rurouni kenshin</span>

Here are some new scores I got:

04.05.04
(1) Kakumei (Oni [8]) - AA
(2) Rhythm and Police (Heavy [9]) - B
(3) Sakura (Heavy [10]) - D

I'm really trying to get level 10 songs, but it's really difficult. What do you think is the easiest level 10 song?

DDR is by far the best game. I have mastered the second edition (I don't remeber the name but it is for the PS1), in its enitrity. My bests are

AA on Dive
AAA on .59

On what level have you been playing those songs?

GO DDR!!! does anyone know anygood moves for freestyles?

oh and my favourite songs in the game are healing vision heavy and cant stop falling in love heavy but have never passed it too hard i can only get to like the 3/4 of the song done till i just fall to the ground oh and B4U is a nice DDR song

I've entered tournaments and did a freestyle on Holic and D2R. Oh ya, don't double post.

I have DDR at my house and I can pass any 9 foot songs and I have passed 10 (eg max 300 and max unlimitid, but I can't pass them all of the time)

What kind of pad do you have at home?

we have two red octain pads but one of them stopped working and the up button doesn't work on the other one. we need to get new ones.

Do you know anyone who owns the metal ones at home?

no but I really want to get them and my parents were concidering buying them for christmas until we told them the price

What would be considered a good price for the metal pads? I always wanted to buy one because my pad keeps slipping and stuff, even though I made some modifications. I pretty much taped it to a piece of wood, but it still doesn't work too well for me.

I don't know what a good price would be but they cost ove 100 dollars american

the best way to keep ur pad there is putting it on top of a carpet that way the surface is not smooth since u use wood it will still move so the way i did is i pur card board to make it more solid and i dance on top of a carpet and it works oh and the metal ones whats soo special about them i've seen ads for it but i dont see whats so special about it

The metal pads probably last longer

I had these thin ones that where like 1 cm thick (less that half an inch) and after about 6 months of using them the backs are all torn of and only the up button on one works and the right button on the other

then we got these ones that were like 5 cm thick (2 inchs) and we had them for a year and then the up button on one stopped working and then 1 month later the other just stopped working and they cost $250 anerican

at my house we need better matts because we play over 3 hours a day and my little brothers can pass 9 foot songs and me and my older brother can pass 10 foot songs so they wear out really fast

wow ur crazy :? well that was me kindda but i cant play anymore cause my ps1's power thingy is lost so i cant get my ps1 to start so no ddr for me which sux!!!

you could always go play at the arcade , that is what me and my older brother used to do and we still go to play DDR extreme even though it costs alot. before we had DDR at home we used to spend $20.00 at the arcade every week lol.

u live in niagra falls right? so my guess is u use the 5th mix i think thats the one in this arcade place right? i remember going there once and i was with some friends and i danced for like an hour and ya it was fun

we have DDR extreme and DDR max and DDR max 2 at our new arcades but at home I only have the original DDR, DDR konamix(only sold for playstation ) DDR MAX and DDR MAX 2 but my brothers friend has DDR extreme for X box, I wish we had Xbox

X BOX!!! i heard from a friend that xbox isnt special in terms of what they have for ddr oh speaking of cousils u know u should try in ur school my school we had a big DDR competition for a fund raise and ya people brought their DDR mats and playstation and there was a big comp after school it was cool u guys should try it out

no one at my school knows what anime or DDR even are so it wouldn't work :(

lol now thats gotta suk well advertise for a bit then when people get hooked u have ur self a competition

i pity u...kage....

i also envy u....if some1 wants to know more about anime....u would be considered a GOD of anime knowledge........

eh :: shrugs ::
power can do that to you....

We have DDR competitions at our school. Then again, I go to a college. But it really sucks there, so we usually go to tournaments at an arcade nearby.

I love DDR!!! I play on the "Oni" level (9-10 footers). The best I have ever done on a song is getting a AA on Sakura by RevenG. My next best would be a AAA on Paranoia Rebirth.

wow you are so good sakura, I can sometimes do 10 but I never get AA's or AAA's on anyting

argh when I was playing Sakura I lost my combo on the third last arrow. argh I was upset

I did V on Oni on Dark and got an AA
here's a different type of accomplishment. I got a B on bag, but it was on 1X mode.

Today&#39;s scores...

04.12.04
(1) Sakura (Oni 9) - C
(2) Rhythm and Police (Heavy 9) - A
(3) Sakura (Heavy 10) - Failed

I wish I had more money to play today... <_<

Hey Micheal better question did u have a big crowd staring at u when u were dancing?

I like many DDR songs but I kinda favor MAXX UNLIMITED. I usually get B&#39;s on Light. I L0VE Afronova&#39;s steps on Standard but the song is.. weird-ish. For warm-ups, I always choose Love at First Sight on Heavy. Extremely easy.. ^_^

I always have a crowd. :P

Ok, imagine a guy in a red uniform that says "Pretzel and Malasada Co." on it, khaki pants, and bulging pockets. Oh ya, not to mention his long, bright, blue hair. Also, he&#39;s not exactly in shape, so it looks weird to see a fat man on the pad. Oh ya, he&#39;s also wearing shoes with holes in it, and his pants has patches sewn in due to wear...

Getting the picture? I don&#39;t know if people watch because how I look (I wear my crapiest clothes to work) or because of my dancing skills (which isn&#39;t great to being with).

Today&#39;s scores:
04.13.04
(1) Sakura (Oni 9) - A
(2) Abyss (Heavy 7) - AAA
(3) Sakura (Heavy 10) - Failed

I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll ever get Sakura on Heavy... arg. <_<

I wish I could play daily. The machine is across town, and my home pads are destroyed :(

I LOOOOOOVE Heaven is a &#39;57 Metallic Grey. It&#39;s an amazing song. I have to play it everytime. I love playing the more complicated steps, like Orion.78 AMeuro mix, Sana, My Summer Love and Witch Doctor.

Fun double songs: A, V, Candy [Star]

I seriously wish I could play as well as you guys...

Today&#39;s scores:
04.14.04
(1) Tsuguru (Heavy 9 ) - A
(2) Candy (Luv Unlimited) (Heavy 8) - AAA
(3) Sakura (Heavy 10) - Failed

This song is REALLY pissing me off.

You&#39;re a lot better than when I was here before. You had a hard time getting a C on Holic at the time.

Today&#39;s scores:
04.14.04
(1) Sakura (Heavy 10) - A
(2) Paranoia Survivor (Heavy 10) - B
(3) Stoic (Heavy 9) - AAA
(Ex) Maxx Unlimited (Heavy 10) - B

For people who&#39;re struggling out there: it takes a lot of practice. Don&#39;t give up&#33;

Exactly. Everyone starts out crappy; I failed my first song (Kung Fu Fighting)

I can&#39;t go play until the weekend, but I&#39;m gonna have to play a whole bunch.

My first song (alone) was Ever Snow on Light. Failed it halfway. I spent &#036;20 the first day I was addicted, but by then I already mastered light mode. I spent the next 2 weeks on standard, and eventually got myself to heavy.

oh man, i don&#39;t care about scoring HIGH anymore =) i go freestyling all the way now, so much more fun~ i still have to get to the point where i can drop to my knees and hit them with it >.< not fast enuf :unsure: but i have this thing where my friend drops back and uses his bum and hits the back arrow =) oh yeah that&#39;s really fun~ i spin a lot and do the running man too~&#33; and then do handstands grabbing the bar, and also roundoffs off the pad if there aren&#39;t too many ppl crowded around...too much fun~ good thing it&#39;s on campus =)

I know how you feel, but there&#39;s a "DDR Technical Extreme Tournament" coming up. Basically, if you score anything below AA, you&#39;re out. So I have to practice to get perfect scores.

Today&#39;s additional scores:
04.14.04
(1) Candy (Heavy 8) - AA
(2) My Summer Love (Heavy 9) - A
(3) Rhythm and Police (Heavy 9) - B

THAT GAME IS SOOO HARD> I am so bad on it...it&#39;s funny. My two friends. THeir in college now but they were like twins. THey did the same movements and they got the same score like every time. THen I switched it to insane and I think y&#39;all know what happened. ;)

Did they equally excel or did they equally get slaughtered? <_<

Anyway, I didn&#39;t sleep last night, so I went to play DDR.

Today&#39;s scores:
04.15.04
(1) Kakumei (Heavy 9) - A
(2) Tsuguru (Heavy 9) - A
(3) Rhythm and Police (Heavy 9) - B

They got slaughtered. lol it was so funny cause instead of me being outta sync they were...for the first time in a million years <_<

Ummm....... lets see.......
Freckles(7)-A.........
End of the Century(7)-B............
Look to the Sky(7)-C...........
Dam Dariram(8)-C.........
Ummm........ I&#39;m not that good......... But I&#39;m trying to get better.........

OK, I have never even played this game, it sounds really good - I&#39;ll look out for it and if I get it, I&#39;ll post my comments&#33;

Here are some of the songs that i like to do on Heavy that i actually CAN do.....

Look to the Sky
Look to the Sky (True Color Mix)
Healing Vision
Era (Nostalmix)
Drop The Bomb
Drop The Bomb (System S.F. Mix)
Abyss
Spin The Disc
The Shining Polaris

That&#39;s all I can think of for now. :mellow:

I Love DDR...but i prefer Para Para Paradise

oooOOOo man, i was freestyling the other day and i almost kicked a "bystander" in the face -_-;;

haha that&#39;s cute >.>

I&#39;m not ready for freestyle yet. Still tryin to beat MAX 300 on Heavy.

i used to be pro at DDR... until PPP came out ^^;

My cuz is pro at DDR. Wish I was him.

PPP is da bomb o.o;
ever played it? >.>

Think I&#39;ve seen it, but that&#39;s beside the topic.....

yuh... i went to the mall the other day, this really cute kid, looked... 8-10 years old, or could just look small, but he was playing ddr and so friggen good o.o;

I&#39;m gonna be in a DDR tourney soon, hopefully.

there&#39;s a friggen tourney for ddr????

I think at ANIME NORTH.

i played PPP for extra credit in Japanese class (guaranteed +10% on final)

I got over 100% in that class, cause I also did the extra credit kareoke (spelling?)...

Actually, i think i did pretty much every extra credit oppurtunity. That class was fun.

I got inspired to play DDR when I saw a 7 year old boy playing Paranoia Survivor MAX on heavy (he looked really funny playing it). Since then, I&#39;ve been struggling to pass it. Heh, strange having an 8 year old kid as a role model.

Paranoia Max is not so bad as compared to the other Paranoias. For me, other than Paranoia Survivor, Paranoia Rebirth is a b**ch to pass. I can never complete it for some reason.

haha, the kid looked so light on his feet it looked as if he was attached to strings.

I think it&#39;s amazing when you see kids who can do more feet than years old they are.

My brothers are amazing. They just turned 8 and they can complete quite a few 9 foot songs. The funniest thing in the world is watching 8 year old twins do Break Down on Heavy

When is Anime North anyway?

Victoria Day weekend. I&#39;ll be there. I think the DDR thing is on Sunday.

hmm... I don&#39;t think I&#39;d be able to go, seeing as though I&#39;m poor and jobless. Man a DDR tourney would be so fun. In my last tourney I was paried up with the winner in the second round (bummer)

Stepmania would help you a lot Servbot, seeing that you are poor and jobless.

I don&#39;t know if it&#39;ll cost anything.......

You can just download Stepmania. Better yet, there&#39;s a better emulator called Dance With Intensity. If you want, you can but a USB to PSX controller connection (uses any PS controller) and use it to connect your computer to your game mat. This can be bought at Radio Shack for a cheap sum.

I was talking about the tourney...........

Ah, my bad.

This sucks, I was playing DDR about an hour ago. I failed at Abyss&#33;&#33;&#33; This is like the easiest Heavy song (or one of them). Some little kid jumped on the pad and I was afraid I was going to kick him, so I had to stop... eck...

Man that sucks.
You know what really sucks? I can&#39;t beat MAX300 on Standard. x_x

It took me a while to get pass MAX300 on Standard. The freeze arrows really throw me off. I can&#39;t even come close to passing it on Heavy. Sakura, on the other hand, can get an A when she feels like it, and a AA when she tries. <_<

..............................

Two. Simple. Words.

HOLY S**T&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

I still can&#39;t figure out if cussing is a bad thing here. But try to lay off those words, ok? I edited it, so don&#39;t be alarmed.

Sakura is insane. She sees a song, tries it out the first time and usually gets an A. She hasn&#39;t entered any tournaments though. She&#39;s too lazy.

that&#39;s always the best fun though. Sight reading a song. I don&#39;t do new songs very often so I always have the pleasure of trying new ones :P

I got a question for everyone. Do you alter the speed on every song? I mean do you set it to 1.5X or 2X out of habit. I always play on 1X. I used to do bag on 1.5X but I&#39;ve overcome that ^_^

I always play 1.5x on a song (unless it&#39;s very fast, say: Sakura or Legend of Max). Just helps me see the gallops better.

Everyone here&#33; Look at the IDDR topic pinned at the top of the "Games" section&#33;

I&#39;m gonna go play DDR on Saturday (or sunday)

either way it&#39;s exciting

Who here Loves "Love Shine"?

I love it only because it&#39;s one of the few songs I can AA.

if you get AA on your last song you get an extra stage ^_^

While we&#39;re talking about specific songs, you need to try Waka Laka and Witch Doctor. They are both 8 feet but I think they could be 9. Waka Laka has a lot of jumps, and Witch Doctor has a complicated rhythm, but they are both such cool songs

I AAA MAX300 today&#33;&#33;&#33; YA&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

And here I was feeling proud of getting an A on Healing Vision (Angelic Mix) on Standard. -_-

if you read my other posts, you can see i&#39;m not that big of a fan, yet i still play it lol ^^;

yeah for me...i just wanna freestyle my butt off...it&#39;s more exciting having ppl watch u look cool (or cocky as my friend would put it) rather than watching you being able to step on arrows on timing...cuz...yeah...i&#39;ll stop now

Freestyling is hard for me. Scoring is pretty easy for me though (manages to get perfects 90% of the time on a familiar song with feet, 95% marvelouses with keys). I can never hit something with my hands of knees and get up in time... unless it&#39;s a song on Light :blink: . And yeah, I agree with Souma. Seeing people freestyle is much more fun than seeing them hit ever arrow perfectly.

My friend and I are working on a "duet" for Dynamite Rave (on light) We&#39;ve figured out all our dual moves (switches etc) but I need to fill in the gaps with my own moves.

I&#39;m also working on memorizing Orion.78 AMeuro mix so I can formulate a freestyle (I like to memorize songs before I freestyle them, which is why I don&#39;t freestyle too often ^_^)

I Think my cousin can freestyle Abyss on Double. Don&#39;t know what level though.

I can&#39;t do double. I keep falling off the pad and getting confused.

I tried double on light. wasn&#39;t that difficult.

I keep getting confused between the two pads.

How so?

My best double song would be A or V on challenge. Double requires a LOT more movement, and you need to shift your centre of gravity. Double is also a lot crazier to watch.

I always try to beat Sakura on Double Heavy, but I always die

Hey, is Sakura going to Anime North?

I really doubt it. She doesn&#39;t like entering tournaments.

I see........

That&#39;s a shame. -_-

I don&#39;t really like the tournament setting either. I don&#39;t agree with the concept of beating people, or "losing"

I play because it&#39;s fun, and that&#39;s why we play games right?

yea, I guess.

I have yet another question for everyone: Did you fail your first song?

I sure did. It was Kung Fu Fighting (2 feet)

I can&#39;t remember my first song, but I failed it.

Yay I&#39;m going to Anime North&#33;&#33;&#33;

Unfortunately, I checked the website and they mentioned nothing about DDR

I was pretty sure it was in "contests" or something.......

yup I failed it, along with eery other song I&#39;ve danced to. I don&#39;t get how people like that game, to me it&#39;s kinda weird no offense.

I think as you get better at it, you tend to like it more.

I got into it because........well....I forget. :P

My friend did a presentation on Japanese culture in grade 7, and he brought in his japanese DDR for PlayStation, that&#39;s where I played and failed my first song. I thought it was the coolest game in the world.

EDIT: There is indeed a DDR "Dance-a-thon" at Anime North. I guess I missed it last time I checked the site (or they just updated it recently)

now I&#39;m really excited

also, I played DDR yesterday, I don&#39;t have letter grades because habitually I don&#39;t look at them.

A - Challenge (one boo)
Waka Laka - Heavy (missed a couple)
Witch Doctor - (two goods)

Heaven is a &#39;57 metallic grey - Heavy (combo)
Healing Vision (Angelic Mix) - Heavy (one boo)
Sakura - Heavy (about 8 good/boo/miss)

(Double)
Waka Laka - Heavy - C
V - Challenge - D
my friend took the last song

I tried V (for Extreme) last night. I got a C.

Man, I need to get to Sliver City and play some DDR.

We have 5 DDR machines in Niagara Falls

a DDR EXTREME machine at the theatre (with memory slot)
a DDR EXTREME machine at the Skylon Tower (pads are crap)

there&#39;s two major arcades near the falls
one has a DDRUSA (ewww) and a DDR EXTREME machine (5 songs for 3 tokens&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;)
the other arcade has a 5th mix machine (4 songs/3 tokens)

so if you&#39;re ever in the area you have a lot of choice

London has 3

DDRMAX2 at Silver City (The one that I go to, since it&#39;s the closest)
DDRMAX2 at Ace Arcade
DDR 5th Mix at Laser Quest

Umm........... Indianapolis has 5............
one ddrmax2 at x-site.........
one ddrmax2 at Washingtion square mall........
one ddrextreme at circle center mall.........
also one ddrusa at circle center mall.........
one ddrextreme at 96th st. theatre...........

at school..WOOT~ how bout THEM APPLES~&#33; uh yeah, it&#39;s fun, i haven&#39;t really played in a while tho...well kinda did at mitsuwa *japanese market place* and ppl were confused... :D

We have one coming up next week Friday. I&#39;m preparing for it (probably going to get killed in the first round).

man that&#39;s amazing. Our school has a foosball table but that&#39;s about it

Our school has nothing. At least I have the home version.

Umm........ I also have one........... on the computer.......... it is not FFR..........

Well, if it&#39;s not FFR, what is it? An emulator?

Umm........ yeah......... like an emulator.............. i think its called delight delight revolution.............

I used to have Dance With Intensity but that was a while ago

I tried to go on FFR a little while ago but they changed something around and now I can&#39;t play anymore.

I&#39;m off to play DDR now (or soon)

Mebbe I&#39;ll go play DDR at Silver City if I get the chance.

Ok so I played today, lets see what I can remember

MAX300 - Heavy - B
A - Challenge - A
bag - Heavy - C (single speed)
Witch Doctor - Heavy - A

Double:
Waka Laka - Heavy - B
V - Challenge - C
A - Challenge - Fail... (I fell off the platform <_< )

Heh, mebbe I&#39;ll try playing while looking away frm the screen from time to time.

wah hahaha, i was playing again and i confused ppl again~&#33;

I&#39;ll just look at the upcoming arrows to see where to step, then look away and do it.

that&#39;s a good exercise for memorization as well, if you ever aspire to memorize for freestyling

1 step at a time.........

I&#39;ve played Drop The Bomb enough to have a good idea where and when to step.

I got the rhythm down for sakura, but I don&#39;t know where the arrows are (which is kinda important ^_^)

kehehe, my friend wants to go to gameworks on sunday so we can "synch" ddr moves and perhaps jump around onto each other&#39;s pads...and go crazy and then show off at school for next semester...hahaha

yeah...

Umm...... showing off....... sounds good...... make sure the good people aren&#39;t there first..........

and freestyling doesn&#39;t require memorization of the song...then it wouldn&#39;t be freestyling....tho it requires u to remember the arrows on the screen as u look away and look again

Aw man, I went to bush Gardens yesterday for a trip and man. At the arcade there was this crazy dude doing DDR extreme. He had to mats and all the songs he did were friggin fast. He got perfect 87 in a row&#33;&#33; ON TWO MATS TOO&#33;

Double mode is fun, but it&#39;s too expensive ^_^

our class was supposed to go to Canada&#39;s Wonderland for Physics Day, but it got cancelled this year. I&#39;ll take any excuse to play DDR ^_^

Umm...... I just did burning heat on manic......... soooooo hard....... But I passed it........ with a D.......... My first real accomplishment....... :rei:

I suck with my home version. The pads keep moving around and make me misstep. >_<

I&#39;m so used to playing at home with Red Octane pads, but they broke, and now I&#39;m using a cheap Mad Catz pad that slips ALL over the place

hey Wraith DDR comp in 5 days are you ready? ^_^

That&#39;s if I can ACTUALLY go.............

my bro got DDR for Xbox...

mwahaha...i&#39;m ok at it...not the best ^^

...woah...Serv....you and Wraith know each other??

Soon enough. Both goin to Anime North, or at least I hope I can go........

Umm...... if you can put the mats on carpet.......... big carpets........ you can almost get the same effect......... as in the arcade.......

I need to play with Shuffle on more often. Lesson learned at Anime North. X_X

he he he...i just finished being filmed in a NIKE/Finish line commercial where i play pump it up ^_^ wah hahaha, it will be aired no later then 2 months ^_^ :D

I want to get the DDR games for PS2 plus the mat but I&#39;m broke&#33; :(

Just make sure that the mat is secure or else it&#39;ll slip all over the place and mess things up. X_X

dude i own at ddr i could own you all. once i failed easy beat that =P

I failed Oni. Ha&#33;

oh yeah? ive only playyed twice&#33;

I&#39;ve played for 2 years. I dare not play Legend of Max yet.

I&#39;ve tried it, but I knew it was hopeless

I&#39;ve reached a new plateau on Saturday: Paranoia Survivor-Heavy-B
it was my last song too so I was tired :P

I&#39;m going back to play sometime this week when I don&#39;t have too much homework.

I finally did it&#33; I got an AAA on MAX 300 on heavy&#33; :D

Wow that is amazing Sakura

I have passed max 300 a few times at my house but I never even got a B
come to think of it I have never gotten an AAA on a song thats on heavy (I can pass songs but I can never do good on them :( )

A on Paranoia Survivor. I still can&#39;t do those darn flashing 10 foot songs

I gotta start keeping track of all my scores (I got a job, so I can buy things, like a camera, now)

I got bored one day and I recorded myself doing Rhythm and Police (and messing up too). I look kinda funny...

Anyway, I got an A on Rhythm and Police for the first time today (I think?), or at least in a long time. I&#39;m trying to decide what lvl 9 song I should go for next.

I got bored one day and I recorded myself doing Rhythm and Police (and messing up too). I look kinda funny...

Maybe you should try doing a lv 10 song? Never hurts to go higher (especially when you manage to get an A on a 9 footer <_<

Behold me as your god&#33; First go on one of the machines, playing Kung Fu fighting on standard and I got a bonifide... B&#33; :D

The thing I dun like about DDR is that you can&#39;t play it if you&#39;re achy or sick, unlike other games. :P

I&#39;ve only watched others play it... I&#39;d feel too stupid doing it myself. :P

You&#39;ll have to understand that a 10 is MUCH harder than a 9.

The difficulty of a ten is about the difficult of a nine to the power of three (in my professional mathematical opinion)

I just pulled those numbers out of the air, but a 10 is something completely different

today I played while waiting to get picked up from work

I don&#39;t know what the song is called because it&#39;s in japanese - B
Heaven is a &#39;57 Metallic Grey - A
Paranoia Survivor - B
(Ever since I could pass that song I LOOOVE playing it)

and for an extra twist I played with no shoes on, since I had dress shoes (Well, I tried dancing with dress shoes for the first song)

I failed Rhythm and Police today&#33; : X_X

I REALLY hate it when some strange jumps on the other pad, shadows you, and distracts you like crazy&#33; ARG&#33;

Anyway, I&#39;m working on Sakura on Heavy. I can manage an A on Oni...

On easy mode, I usually got A&#39;s, but I nearly failed on normal or anything higher.

some people are so inconsiderate *hmph*

I&#39;m used to another person dancing beside me; I usually go to the arcade with friends and we play together, and usually are on a different difficulty. If I am playing alone though, I&#39;m fine with people shadowing me. Then you get those people that just jump on and make a stupid scene while you&#39;re in the middle of dancing, basically making fun of you.

I was hoping to go play today, but I don&#39;t see it happening (but I got a job at a place right near the arcade ^^

Umm..... for me........ during Burning Heat is hard...... but i passed it again....... with a C this time......

I love that song. It&#39;s based on an old midi from Gradius ^_^

I still can&#39;t pass Burning Heat. It&#39;s too insane for me. I mean, I get too tired after the halfway point and I can&#39;t finish it. I guess this should be my next level to pass.

I&#39;m trying to make my pad stick. As in, not move while I&#39;m dancing. Any suggestions? Pictures and instructions would be nice...

My dance pad is broken >___<.

I could dance B4U in trick mode, of course, being a lot tired after it

if it&#39;s not a problem, I suggest duct taping it to a piece of plywood, or just duct tape it right to the floor. If the plywood is really big, you can tape the pad to the plywood, then weigh down the plywood with some large books (or something like that)

Do I have to cut the pad or anything?

nope. If it&#39;s a soft pad, you can just tape down the edges

it also ensures that the pad doesn&#39;t bend on the buttons, which ends up being damaging

How much do the metal pads go for? Do they come in pairs?

If you want Cobalt Flux, the official best pads in the world, you can order them online (a pair of them, w/ bars and the doubles kit free) for (If I remember correctly,) up to &#036;600 USD (plus shipping to Hawaii might be hefty)

Ouch... Do you think it would be worth it?

I&#39;m thinking about getting them. I&#39;ve got it easy because I&#39;m still a kid and have almost no expenses ^_^
Also, I could get my sister to pitch in, since she&#39;s also a DDR freak ^_^

Well, you&#39;d basically have an arcade platform at home. You&#39;d never have to play for quality dancing again. The problems are that it&#39;s only for PS2 (in case you have XBOX DDR) and you only have the songs that are on the home versions

I recommend that you give it some time to think about it (and save up ^_^) Also, you should wait until the next PS2 mix comes out. You can see what new songs will be available, and if it&#39;s worth it at that point.

EDIT: after checking out the Cobalt Flux website (http://www.cobaltflux.com) a doubles kit costs 579.99 USD, and they ship to Alaska and Hawaii ^_^

How does it connect? Is it like the regular controller pad connection?

David I can&#39;t pitch in any more than 300 canadian, but by the end of the summer I may have more (hopefully)

I bought DDR the other day...(finally) lol I played this game at an arcade with my friend Brittany who is like..god at DDR and I sucked. I wanted to get the game at home for so long but now I finally have it and a nice dance pad&#33; ^_^ I&#39;m not that good yet but I&#39;m getting there. I play like everyday till I wear myself out.

MAX or MAX2? Well either way, I dare you to try the song MAX 300. :P

Max...Max2 was out of my price range. I&#39;ll get it next time I have money.

today at the arcade I was doing so deep on heavy (the hardest 9 foot song I ever did) and I was almost at the end and then my stupid anoying little brother who was playing next to me, hit me with his arm and I lost my balance and lost :crybaby:

as far as I know it&#39;s exactly like a PS2 port

Although I&#39;m a total newb to DDR, how much is the personal DDR home set? :P

Mats can range from like &#036;15 to &#036;30 I think. My mat was &#036;15 at Best Buy. The games, DDRMAX is like &#036;30 and DDRMAX2 is &#036;40-&#036;50.

mats can cost up to 600 dollars if you count the metal ones, but if you don&#39;t some realy thick ones can cost up to 200.

600 for 2 of them

They had the pads but not the game at best buy... Any retail stores that would most likely have the game itself?

I don&#39;t know what VG stores they have in your area, but I always found mine at EB (Electronics Boutique)

(This is me BUMPing the topic :heh: )

wah....

feet...legs....sore....

5 hours of non-stop DDR :lol: that was a blast....

W00t&#33; Silvercity upgraded to EXTREME and now it only cost 50 cents instead of a dollar. But I failed So Deep :(

Umm....... i have done that before........ 3 days......... about 4 hours a day on extreme....... i got much better after the 3rd day.......... in about a week....... i could pass Max unlimited....... on Heavy....... :rei:

Two words: EXTREMELY OVERRATED&#33;&#33;

I&#39;m buying Ultramix for the x-box when the price goes down. I think it&#39;s fun, plus I don&#39;t have to drive 15 min to the YMCA to workout.

Yeah, at first I sucked but now...wait... Dang I still suck&#33;

good workout when you have weights straped to your arms and legs, but i find it a bit too much.

Dont realy do it enought to be good at it

ah DDR... I&#39;ve been playing too much lately

I&#39;ve been trying to combo Paranoia Survivor, but I keep getting that one rascally good >.<

I love so deep on standard....but I still always fail near the end -.- Break down and Afronova are the funnist&#33;

Do you guys play with the freeze arrows on or off? I play with off cuz the freeze arrows screw up even if I stay on them.

I play with freeze arrows on because it improves your score

*Quick Lesson on Scoring*

your letter grade is based on a score. the score is determined my the the accuracy of each step (your amount of perfects, boos, greats etc)

here&#39;s how it works

Marvellous = 3 points*
Perfect = 2 points
Great = 1 point
Good = 0 points
Boo = -? points (I forget right now :sweatdrop: )
Miss = -8 points O.o
O.K. = 6 points
N.G. = 0 points
(* Marvellous only applies to Nonstop/Oni Courses)

Each song has a maximum possible score (lets say a song has 300 steps and 2 freezes, then the max score is 612 points)

Letter grading works like this:
AAA = 100%
AA = >93%
A = >80%
B = <80%

I don&#39;t remember exactly where C and D fit in, but you get an E if you fail (your dance meter runs out)

Anyways, the important thing is, if you play without freezes, then you don&#39;t get deducted any points, but you also can&#39;t get a perfect score. Score-wise, you&#39;ve got nothing to lose by playing with freezes, except a lost freeze hurts your dance meter.

*Tip for Freezes*

If your freezes aren&#39;t holding for you (I know it&#39;s harder to hold on arcade pads than home mats) something I apply to long freezes is bouncing on the arrow. Not actually jumping up and down, but just shifting your weight on and off the pad) Since you only come off the freeze for a split second, it doesn&#39;t give you an NG. It doesn&#39;t always work in the middle of fast areas, but if you&#39;re just holding a long freeze it never fails

I&#39;m curious. Has anyone here played Flash Flash Revolution?

I have. :mellow:

i love ddr&#33;

Just don&#39;t play barefoot at the arcades. It hurts as much as sandals. X_X

the best ddr in canada lives in calgary. or so i heard. it&#39;s like.. officially. the best person in canada. he combos every song he plays.

i went to the mall today and was watching some guyz play. <.<>.> wow. anywayz, my cousin was playing too. she was so good x.x;;

DDR is so NOT popular here :lol: I think only Asians and Americans like stuff like that, over here you never see people playing it. Then again, we don&#39;t have many arcades around here either :mellow: but games like that never receive high scores in magazines and they are known to generally not sell very well.

we have 3 in one mall... the biggest one is so cool >.< it&#39;s shown on a screen in playdium.... so many ppl watch

The last time I played, me and three other friends each took one arrow . . . definitely made things easier&#33; Especially on easy mode XD

damnn u guys r lucky i got no arcades near me so i gotta play at home on my ps2

DDR&#39;s a good game, but it really wears you out if you&#39;re not used to it.
Our anime club got to go on a run yesterday, but unfortunately, the only arcade in town that has the game only has one of them, verses our 30 some members. :doh: I really liked "Butterfly," but it was too fast for me. ^^; *failed a lot*

DDR Extreme is out. Get it now, folks. :neko:

o_o;; It&#39;s been out for a while, the arcade version at least.
At least it was at my arcade last summer when I talked my mom into going.

I&#39;d rather play it at home. At the arcade you have to wait. :bleh:

Ahh... no cash for ddr extreme&#33;

It is Extreme what with songs like Sakura, Paranoia Survivor, Legend of Maxx, etc.

have u pplz played DDR max 2?

At the arcade, yes.

For the PS2, no.

I will post my scores later....I just bought DDR Exterme to replace DDR Max 2...lol
Now I need to go try it out....^_^

ive been playin ddr for a while and just got ddr extreme a week ago i love ddr&#33;

Max 1 and max2 are way better than us ps2 extreme imho.

I actually like all three&#33;

I&#39;m gonna buy it when I get a ps2. There&#39;s an arcade near me at the mall. There&#39;s always a line of people waiting to play, so they put benches in there and put it in a separate room. I&#39;ve never played it before because I&#39;d be embarassed since I&#39;ve never played before. <_<

Absolute-Standard
V-Challenge
B4U-Challenge
Dream A Dream-Standard
Your Rain-Standard

A- Whistle Song (DDRMAX2)
A- Kukiemi (sp?) (DDRMAX2)
A- Rythm & Police (DDRMAX)

All on heavy mode of course.
NONE SHALL DANCE GREATER THAN I!

But my favorite song...

A- Only you - Captain Jack (DDREXTREME)

"All the hoochie mommas put yo hands up"

I heard dat. ;)

OMG you stole my favorite song! XD

edit: double post. :shifty:

DDR:
favorites:
Healing Vision Angelic Heavy (9) - A (4 missed)
So Deep Heavy (9) - A (364 combo)
scores: A or AA on all PS2 DDRMAX songs (Heavy) besides MAX300 (failed that one, but haven't tried it again for about a year...I think I can pass it now)

ITG:
Charlene Expert (11) - B/C
Queen of Light Expert (10) - A
Tribal Style Expert (10) - A
Oasis Expert (10) - B (just yesterday ^^)
Bend Your Mind Expert (10) - B (just yesterday ^^)
Delirium Expert (12) - FAIL (but it's so fun :P)
Caddywhompus Normal (8 Marathon) - pass (can't remember, but I had a 735 combo...)

EDIT: I played DDR Mario Mix the other day at Fry's, and I must say, I'm thoroughly depressed...PLEASE say the songs get harder than that...

EDIT: I played DDR Mario Mix the other day at Fry's, and I must say, I'm thoroughly depressed...PLEASE say the songs get harder than that...
--
they do get harder than that,you just need to unlock them in super hard. to unlock them,you gotta have the song on very hard. then,all you do is complete the song in very hard and viola. B)

but i gotta agree with you,the only challenge on that game is bowsers castle,all the other songs arent that hard on oni.........:unsure: but its still a fun game. ^^

I. Suck. At. DDR. T____T So hard. xD I've only played it twice, because each time I made a fool of myself. Har. Oh well. I'm sure I would enjoy it if I was good at it. I like some of the songs though.

I've been outta practice, but i just got DDR Extreme2. Cartoon heros is hard..broke combo 3 times. Managed to barely scrape an A in paranoia survivor, still no A in paranoia survivor MAX.

the more conventional favorites of mine:
Max300 - AA
Healing vision (angelic mix) - A
Dynamite rave (original) - AA
Afronova (original) - AA
Max Unlimited - A
So deep (MAX2) - A (broke combo once)

The thing I don't like about DDR Extreme 2 is that in training mode, slowing down the songs makes the song silent, no music. Slowing down songs sounds horrible but most songs sound very funny when slowed. In the original DDR me and my friends still get a laugh from setting dynamite rave to speed 1 and hearing "COOOMMMMMEEEE OOOOOOONNN, EEEEEVVVVERYBBBBOOOODDDDDY..."

Very interesting method of unlocking songs though. a shop.

I wanna get the game for the PS2! lol I'm not to good....I've never gone out of begginer....Plus I don't like people watching me play....

I stink at the arcade pads, and I don't have stepmania, so no PS/M for me :(

Scores update:
So Deep Heavy 2x AA (^^), 1x A, 2x Hidden Dark A, 2x Hidden Dark Shuffle A, 2x Double C, 2x Reverse A, 2x Reverse Hidden Dark C (shooting for 2x Reverse Hidden Dark Shuffle)
The Legend of Max B
Maxx Unlimited D :heh:

Charlene Expert A-
Bend Your Mind Expert Double B

EDIT: PS/M is on DDR Extreme 2? Must buy...

go stepmania! i only get to play on my computer an i only started playing three days ago but im now a certified light-standard! yay! i suck compared to yall!

I played on my friends PSP and I had to say its kinda different. A on Break Down heavy. I wish I could give you guys my scores for Stepmania. Recent achievement I cleared Rythm and Police on Heavy. Of course that was when I had someone playing on light to keep me alive. Now I'm working on acing it.

How do you play DDR on a PSP?

DDR is easy cheeeeese.

(but I love it to death).

ITG is where it's at. Those 12-footers'll get ya'.

Ouch...yeah, those 12-footers are way out of my range...I can't even do 11-footers...besides Charlene, of course :P

bah, I love DDR but I suck at it, I can only just make out Tanonev's Sig, too fast >_<

I love DDR even though I totally suck at it it is still great fun ^_^
I get addicted to the music, even though sime of it can be pretty weird.....LOL sometimes I get something like Holic stuck in my head for weeks....I don't mind though cuz it's a great song! Ever since I got stepmania I've been begging my brother to take me to the mall so I could do DDR.....no I'm not as good as some others but I'm okay and the jumping up and down makes me sooo hyper! I think it's my new addiction......maybe....possibly....I don't know.......

bah, I love DDR but I suck at it, I can only just make out Tanonev's Sig, too fast >_<

It looks like a selection from So Deep (Heavy). So Deep is notoriously difficult for beginners to read.

DDR rules, I play for exercise in the morning :)

Stepmania as well as DDRMax and Max2 and Extreme on PS2

I have also built a lot of my own pads haha. Had some experience with soft pads / plastic whatever ones and didn't like them. Had to make my own metal ones :)

I can beat Max300 heavy but I haven't tried the other maxes yet.

Exotic Ethnic heavy is a favorite of mine, both for the exercise and for the showoff factor haha.

I don't always play with shoes though... my stamina gets cut to a third with shoes...

Thinking about getting a drum set for drummania, or maybe a controller for beatmania iidx.

Go go bemani
