I wonder when this thread is going to be closed?

Maybe cause it's ancient history.

Well you should you know look through that ancient history for any remains of a thread that you want to post about otherwise your thread is going to get closed in a heartbeat without you even knowing the reason for the closing of the thread.


And one more thing old or new its still a thread of that which you should give the least amount of respect by at least looking for one. And then if you dont see then make a new type of thread.


And ofcourse I have no authourity to rambel on like this. So sorry if offended you by it. We need you Angelic, come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offence taken.

Thats good.

My greatest accomplishments are AA on heavy Sandstorm, AA on heave I Like to Move it, and AA on Firefly. I suck :lol: Ahh! Didn't read the topic, there's already a DDR thread!!

Well, as long as you understand.

Im sorry but there already is a DDR thread, just click on the link below to get to it.

Here's the dillemma. Either take a tackle for recreating an already made thread, or take a tackle for reviving one that's over 4 months old. Either way, who cares.


DDR we have here's um.. Dancing Stage.. I think. One of the newer (newest?) ones.

Tournaments: none held in New Zealand officially.

Personal records:

Across the Nightmare [Challenge] AA
AA [Heavy] AA (yeah.. AA at AA, haha ㄱ-)
A [Challenge] AAA
Drop Out remix [Challenge] A
Paranoia ~Respect~ [Heavy] A

Others are just plain old boring or I've ended up with a B >_>

*locks other thread and gets everybody to use this one instead*

AA [Heavy] AA (yeah.. AA at AA, haha ㄱ-)

Is that that crazy 20+Hz song? o_O

I'm...er...9.5 feet on DDR, 10 feet on ITG. I play at home mostly, on DDR Extreme and ITG 1.

Tournaments: No way.

Personal records:
Kick the Can Heavy: AA (7 greats - I have no AAAs :( this is the closest I've gotten)
Healing Vision Angelic Heavy: A
The Legend of Max Heavy: A
Oasis Expert: S-

Hardest song I've passed? Either Mythology Expert or Insertion Expert...barely passed ><

Update to my stats- I got another 1st place in my school's tournament. Here were the songs I did:

Healing Vision (Remixed version) [HEAVY]-AAA
Sakura [HEAVY]-AA
Paranoia 290 (Survivor) [HEAVY]-AAA (New record!)
Extra Stage: Frozen Ray [HEAVY]-AAA

Paranoia 290 (Survivor) [HEAVY]-AAA (New record!)



Holy Shiat. Triple A off that?


ITG's cool, but my arcade took it away few weeks ago >_> (we had ITG2 woo!)

Former records were..

Delirium [Ex] A-
July [Ex] S
Xuxa [Hd] S
Summer ~Speedy Mix~ [Hd] A+
Hybrid [Ex] S
Bouff [Hd] S-

Yeah.. I was a 'smile' and Machinae Supremacy man XD



Is that that crazy 20+Hz song? o_O

Dunno whatcha mean by that.

Yeah, I was a bit suprised too that I got a AAA. I usally get AA's or A's on that song. The partisipants had to preform in front of the whole school XD.

DOUBLE POST (SORRY!)
I won another tournament and got first place again!
Here are the winning songs I did:

Cartoon Heroes (HEAVY): AAA
Sakura (HEAVY): AAA
MAX 300 (HEAVY): A

Dude you guys own. I have no iea how the heck you guys do all that crazy foot stuff but hats off to to you.

Well, it called: "I practice an hour a day, which I've been doing for 30 months, without missing a day plus tournaments." And I just have good reflexes.

Whoa...those are some insane AAAs... :worship:

Max300 Heavy: B (finally, I pass :D I think I need to re-sync my cousin's Stepmania, though...)
Remember December Expert: S-, missed one arrow >< I'll blame it on my sister, who thought it would be funny to yell "Hit the mines!"

Working on July Expert now...I haven't built up the stamina for it yet...

Out of curiosity, do you guys use the bar? I never learned how, so I play without it, and as a result, I've...er...fallen off the pad a couple times :P

I used to use the bar in arcades, but now I don't. However, sometimes I will if I do MAX 300 on Heavy, to atempt to break my "A" record.

Othere than that...NEW RECORD!

Paranoia 290 Survivor (HEAVY): AAA

haha i play but i'm not a tech player i'm a freestyle player cuz i'm just like that...and i giev propz to you techhies that's good stuff, and i like seeing that stuff i'm just more preference to freestylers cuz 1. i'm a freestyler, 2. i just like it imo it looks cooler but still man mad propz to you all...lol i can do like AA stuff but nothing higher than A on heavy songs, and even then those are the easier heavy songs XD, sincei spend so much time on easier stuff just messing around

Well Heavy Songs are hard when you first start them. It's hard to get use to the new super-fast arrows, you know, the ones that are like 3/4 of the way to a regular arrow or 3/8.

oh don't get me wrong...i can do some pretty hard stuff...i just don't make a habit of it...i usually try the hard shtuff when i'm looking for some variety outside of my usual freestyling...so yeah...if anyone remembers gedtag...yeah he's my cousin...we do some freestyling together sometimes

I know.
NEWS: I'm entering the Statewide Tournament!

Awesome :) Good luck with that :)

Max Forever Heavy: B (1600 arrows? >< Then again, Challenge/Expert is nearly 3000 x_x)

Cool, keep at it ^_^.

Statewide Tournament is on October 1st, 2006.

hm... I can do Spin the Disc on heavy (I can do that on Standard and get AA, such an easy song), Ghosts on Standard almost perfectly... Dream a Dream is probably the easiest song on ALL levels. I like Janejana, and Gamelan De Coupe (spelling?) and a bunch of others... I LOVE Afronova, but I suck at that song...
I haven't been practicing,and my skills have been deteriorating. thats the problem.. I usually just practice once a month .:shame:. I used to practice more... but I can still beat the pants off some people...

^good luck at that statewide tournament Lightningsage! *waves a fan & cheers for you*

Thanks ^_^

I just got DDR: Supernova for PS2 today. And I am sweating like hell.

I can't do anything past a 7 footer. XD I suck.

Sweet, I got that not too long ago as well.

How is it? I want to get it but haven't got the chance yet. By the way, I am a heavy player for 8-9 foot songs.

Great, there's alot of songs I like on there. (They should make 20ft heavy songs XD, I like a new challenge).

Is Rewrite on this or am I thinking of Stepmania?

Currently working on (in SuperNova)

Xephir (Difficult)

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Expert)

Not that good compaired to most of you (DAMN YOU LIGHTNINGSAGE!!!!!)

Not that good compaired to most of you (DAMN YOU LIGHTNINGSAGE!!!!!)

Yeah...Good luck to you too...

And Rewrite is on Stepmania, everything is on stepmania lol.

STATEWIDE TOURNAMENT RESULTS!:

Sorry, these are so late. The DDR machine went out of order on the day of the tournament, sooo it was held yesterday. Here are my results:

First Round:

Sakura [HEAVY]-AAA (New record!)
Rythm and Police [HEAVY]-AAA
Colors [HEAVY]-AAA
Bonus Round-Cartoon Heroes [HEAVY]-AA

Quarter-Finals:

Era [HEAVY]-AAA
Paranoia 290 Surivor [HEAVY]-AA
Sync [HEAVY]-AAA
Bonus Round-Legend of MAX [HEAVY]-A

Semi-Finals:

MAX 300 [HEAVY]-AA
Sandstorm [HEAVY]-AAA
Paranoia 270 [HEAVY]-AA

FINALS:

Daikenkai [HEAVY]-AAA
Trip Machine CLIMAX [HEAVY]-AA
Frozen Ray [HEAVY]-AAA
Bonus Round-V for Extreme [HEAVY]-AA

Overall: 2nd place

The guy in the finals was really good, he AAAed all songs.

With my current status, I have enough ranking points to enter the...NATIONALS!
I have no idea when this will be, however, I do know that I will be entering!

I'm going to suppose that because this was a big tournament you'll have proof of placing second place. :mellow:

The statewide wasn't that big, it was open to anyone who has entered five tournaments before and placed in the top three. Not many people were there. There was only about sixteen people there. The nationals...that'll be diff.

I just tried Challenge mode on Supernova today for fun...I got smoked faster than a joint at a fraternity party...XD (always wanted to say that...)

I got a C on Xephir!

...no one's impressed, I see...

Well, it's good to see improvement ^_^.

I have a AA on Xephir [HEAVY]

I'm suprised that a lot of DDR songs like Zepher aren't anime. I mean, the quality is way high enough to become an opening for an anime...

It's possible.

BREAKING NEWS

The National Tournaments were held yesterday morning! I left sometime around 6:00pm on Friday to leave for Michigan. (That is why I wasn't on all day.) I was suprised that only 256 people were entered! Of all of the population too! Anyways, these guys were EXTREMELY tough to beat. I had lost during the Semi-Finals when I tripped over the bar during MAX 300 [HEAVY]. I had gotten 3rd place which means I can advance...to...well...THE INTERNATIONALS! My mom was extremely happy with me that I finally found what I was good at! The Internationals won't be for sometime, but they will be held in Quebec, sometime next year.

There are too many songs to count on which I did, but I will give you my Semi-Final results:

Sakura [HEAVY]-AAA
Paranoia 270 [HEAVY]-AA
MAX 300 [HEAVY]-B (I was soooo mad about this! I knew I was gonna lose as soon as my foot hit that bar...)

Here are his results:

Sakura [HEAVY]-AA
Paranoia 270 [HEAVY]-AAA
MAX 300 [HEAVY]-AA

BREAKING NEWS

The National Tournaments were held yesterday morning!

So I'm sure it's safe to assume that brcause this was a big tournament there's proof on your placing third? Sorry but I'm sketchy ever since the KH2 thread. :mellow:

No problem about being suspious Meer. What kind of proof do you want? I have a certificate saying that I passed and will be able to move on. Would you like me to scan it in for you? (Hopefully, my mom's bf came by on the day we were gone to fix the scanner.)

Yeah, thats proof enough. Thanks. :mellow:

No problem. The scanner is not yet fixed, so a week at least.

I'm getting better on Expert! Yay!

I can do some of the easier songs on expert...It's a step forward!

(There are still songs I can't even do on Difficult...)

*tried a marathon stage last night*

Sepia [Challange/Oni] - E

I still suck =X
---

Tried it again this morning....

Here's the results:
http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/3181/screen00001si9.jpg

Still not too bad, considering there's 2 087 steps...

Sepia is hard indeed...I got AA on it lol.

http://vp.plugsuit.de/downloads/misc/MachineDanceWorldChampionships-Information-April-2007-050306.pdf

Whoa...Norway recognized DDR as a sport...and now the IDO is hosting an international tournament o_O

EDIT: I give up on searching for DDR data online x.x I can't find any info whatsoever on organized DDR play on a state->national->international level, which doesn't make since because I don't doubt that they exist...

Oh, and
July Expert C+/B- (forgot to look; I was too happy from finally passing it :P)

2ndEDIT: Good grief, Sepia has a lot of arrows x.x The Google video I found of it turned out to be someone using the keyboard :P

2 087 to be exact... I bled.

lol i just read everything and wow must i say for a ddr player as good as you, you really lack the lingo, please dont say really super fast arrows haha, the arrows are faster there are just more and closer together, only speed modifiers can make them faster, also paranoia survivor 290 is considered harder then max 300 so actually the hardest one you played was that and itg would probably be more befitting for you and yea i hate when your foot hits the bar XD, ive done that like twice and it totally ruins everything, i only play arcade, home versions are too bleh, i prefer itg2, then itg, then ddr, supernova is pretty bad considering how off sync it is to the other versions and the songs are pretty cheesy, hardest song i ever AAAed was exotic ethnic, hardest song ive beaten on itg2 was determinator and i was like half dead afterwards, i also play stepmania, use to be rank 12 on stepmania online but i got bored of people not having the same songs and stuff, if you ever come to PA we should play :D and yea no offense or anything but im kinda skeptical as to your placing as well, can we see some proof?

can we see some proof?

Working on it. As soon as the scanner is fixed I'll have the certificate scanned in, and placed on the front page of the thread. Rank 12, eh? I haven't tried going online yet, because my Network Adapter is under maintance. I've never been to PA, but I will someday. I think MAX 300 is harder than Paranoia 290. I can get up to AAA in Paranoia 290 Survivor, and only an A in MAX 300. I would've probably gotten 2nd place in the Nationals if it weren't for the unforutante bar accident. Anyways, I look foward to facing you.

EDIT: Exoctic Ethnic was pretty easy. The 190 BPM's weren't anything hard for me, it was just the confundling steps that kept me from acheiving AAA for a long time. Finally, I got a AAA after toiling with it.

You must break lots of things. Adapter under maintenance, scanner being repaired. I also remember your camera being fixed in the KH2 thread. :mellow:;

Yeah, the camera is completely fried. The scanner just needs some cleaning on the lense, and my Network Adapter was broken by my little newphew. He got mad and threw my PS2 at me...eventhough my sister/his mom is the one that made him mad...Thankfully, the PS2 was not broken, but for some weird reason; the network adapter was.

lol yea exotic ethnic has lots of cross overs but itg songs can have a massive ammount of double crossovers, basically with your right foot on the left arrow and your left foot on the right arrow, a good example would be bloodrush, but yea smo is all that great, i dont really play online much of anymore unless someone begs me lol

when i said online i meant stepmania, ddr for the computer, i dont play any of the console versions as their timing windows for scoring are far too easy

edit:oops sorry for the double post

I agree. Scoring is easy on the console versions, but in the Arcade...it's tough getting even a B lol. Somehow, people manage.

yea but you also cant forget that people who have a hard time beating a song, lets say max 300, do really badly and fail but on their first time beating it they get a B cause the grading is too easy while the effect is has on your life when you miss an arrow is too strong, so its kinda hard for lots of people to get worse then a B unless they go almost the whole song with barely any life or if they are playing supernova which has a more efficient scoring system, but im still more true to extreme then supernova, i just dont really like it for some reason, but itg2 goes above that in my head, its so much more fun to me

ITG2 is the Ghetto version of DDR. That's what my friend calls it. ITG has some good stuff like: Triple or Quad steps. However, what keeps me from playing it is the lack of good songs and the weird stuff that happens when you're getting a good score. It gets annoying after awhile. They should have triple or quad steps on DDR, and also some harder songs, like 20 footers :lol:. It probably will never happen, seeing that 10-foot songs are hard enough, and experienced DDRers such as You and I will probabky have a hard time adjusting to 20-foot songs.

lol well i can do a few 12 and 20 is impossible, there are only a few 20 footers for stepmania that actually are 20 footers according to leveling standards that can be passed, one is expert for identity part 2 and only like 5 people have passed it, thats for keyboard, i figure the hardest would ever be a 15, i know there are a few 14 footers passed before on pad, my highest is a 12 but that was pretty killer

The thing with DDR is good eyesight and fast legs. If you have those, you could probably do a 12 foot or higher song. I should try Stepmania, I've never attempted to try it.

well the only reason im good at ddr is cause of stepmania, at first i was really bad at ddr so i stopped and played stepmania for a week or two and got good at then and when i tried ddr again i went straight from 2 footers like 6 and 7, the hardest part is basically wether you like it or not, some people just dont find it fun and give up while learning cause its too hard, i beat psmo (hardest song before supernova came out) and i was happy cause i thought i was near as good as you can get but then i saw itg and i was like aww phooey, but now im getting closer, i can beat a 12 on pad and itg only goes as high as 13 footers but now people are hacking machiens and playing 14 and 15 on pad so now it gets even harder for me to be near the best you can get, and on keyboard i can only beat a handful of 16 and 17 footers while there are a few who can play 20 so even in that i got a ways to go, but i do consider myself a genius as i did play killer queen on expert as my first song on guitar hero and i passed it, i only watched someone play two songs before that, i also beat bark at the moon (hardest one before guitar hero 2 comes out) and that was just hell lol

Here's how I got where I am:
I've been playing for...3 years this day (Seriously, this day is where it all began, I've marked it on my calender.) That's...1096 days...I do it an hour everday and 2 hours every other day...so...1644 hours of playing so far...coutn tournaments which are about 45min-3hours each...and you get a lot of DDRing.

2 087 to be exact... I bled.

Were you even able to walk the following day? :P


i do consider myself a genius

:sigh: Whatever floats your boat...

By the way, have you seen this thing before? :) ----> .

Were you even able to walk the following day? :P



:sigh: Whatever floats your boat...

ah well i really dont like using periods :P oh and im using the real term for genius, it just means someone who excels in something very rapidly or faster then normal, i dont mean that smart term for genius, i dont really consider myself above average in knowledge

I don't see how that's the "real term" for genius (http://www.answers.com/genius&r=67)...but like I said, whatever floats your boat...

Does anyone here like playing double, by the way? I tried a little bit, and I suck at it :P I still think it's fun, though.

i must say i do suck at doubles, i can only do up to like a 8 or 9

I beat a Challenge song! I was using the controller, though..........I don't have a prayer of *really* beating a Challenge song yet...

I got an A on Shout(Expert)

*Cherishes my A* A is a good grade for me^^

Oh yeah, I have played Healing D-Vision, and although it's a cool song, it's still hard on basic mode...same with Max 300: Super Max Me Mix(?)

I have the scanner fixed! But I am not posting the certificate today, as I am going to be very busy.

Whee :D

Can't Stop Falling in Love Speed Mix, Heavy, AA
Tribal Style, Expert, S (full combo)
Xuxa, Expert, B-
Vertex, Expert, B- (yay, my first 12-footer :D I know it's the easiest of the 12-footers, and I know my score sucks, but whatever, I'm happy :P)

The certificate is being scanned in now.

DOUBLE POST, SORRY.

It is done. The proof is on the front page. If you still don't belive that that is enough, I have no idea what to tell you.

ummmm yeah...why would there be any type of "Academic Technology somthing" on a dance dance revolution certificate. Also, the area around some of the words look like they have had some white-out work done to them. And finally its said "NATIONAL" so somewhere on this vast thing called the internet, there has to be more proof than some blurry piece of paper that i think looks like some school reward. I guess you have no idea what to tell me because i dont belive you.

I'm not going to believe this one either. :mellow:

I was confunsed about the "Academic Thing" when I got the certificate. I think it means like "Athletic" or something along the lines of that. And of course there was technology involved! And the last word was "Officer". Look, if you don't believe me, that's fine. I wouldn't White-Out a school certificate either. It'd be ruining a good award! I don't have any awards from school anyway. Only rewards I have are for my blackbelt and other stuff. Nothing school related. It's alright if you don't belive me. I honestly don't care, because I know that I have a real certificate. What? You got hidden cameras in my house? You know what i'm doing? You don't and I hate the idea of being framed.

Look, I'll admit that I lied on the Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix thread, but I'm not lying now. I gave you proof and you spat in my face. (Was that too dramatic?) I really don't want to get into an argument. My B-Day is tommorow and I already feel like crap. I don't need other people ruining my self-esteem before tommorow. I'm telling the truth, and I don't care what you say, but I have proof.

are you turning 10?

Could I request it in color? I, too, see some lines there that shouldn't be there, and it IS possible that the scanner blotted it out due to Black & White mode.

And I present to you the reason why people doubt you Lighteningsage. Unlike most people on forums, I do research to verify what people say and make certain they are trustworthy of those claims.


The Personal Opinion to Your Certificate


http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/372/certificate1qa8.jpg
note: this image has been uploaded to a different host to preserve its original look,
therefore it may not match up with the image found at the front. The original link can be found here (http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Lightningsage/Certificate-1.jpg)


I would accept it, if the text "Certificate of Placement", "awarded to", "For placing 3rd in the", and "National Dance Dance Revolution Tournament" all lined up with the signature lines, and the English/French Boarder on the outside. To illustrate this point, I placed a grid layer atop of the certificate where the grid lines are parallel to the signature lines. It can be found in the spoiler below.

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/3859/certificate1qa8oc9.jpg

I understand both traditional and modern styling of award sheets, but Awards presented with a seal (that star-like thing at the top-left) are typically set in traditional format. Meaning everything is lined by ruler. If you look closely, they are not. The seal on the award may be real, but I have to doubt the organization's authority on this one.


The Logical Analysis

The first exhibit I present to this table that isn't personal interpretation, is www.ddrfreak.com website. Surely if a national tourney that counts towards an international/world tourney should be mentioned on the primary source of DDR information on the west side of the globe, right?

Much to my surprise, I did not see Michigan listed (http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&client=pub-1146568829249277&cof=FORID%3A1%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BGL%3A1%3BLC%3A%230 00000%3BVLC%3A%23663399%3BGFNT%3A%230000ff%3BGIMP% 3A%230000ff%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3B&domains=www.ddrfreak.com&q=Michigan&btnG=Search&sitesearch=www.ddrfreak.com). Not once. There was a little blurb on CraigsCruisers Supernova Tournament that takes place in about ten days from today, but it has yet to occur. Not a one made notion of being nationally recognized. But that's besides the fact. You already have you're certificate, so that cannot possibly be an option.

Thus I turned to google (http://www.google.com/search?q=Michigan+DDR+Nationals&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a), because there's always the freak chance that DDR Freak missed the "nationally recognized tourney". Again, nothing in regards to Michigan (there was a hit in New York). I took the benefit of the doubt and even searched for an international tourney in Quebec (http://www.google.com/search?hs=e1t&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=Quebec+International+DDR+Competition&btnG=Search). Again, nothing (I think there was a hit in London for something //similar// to an international competition, but that remains unverified).


I'm not quite certain what you are trying to do, but could you please shed some light on these issues. Preferably, hard evidence as I have presented to you. Until you do, my opinion stands that you are lying.

On a readers note, I like how you used a logical fallacy in that last post. Actually--allow me correct that--you used several logical fallacies. Which includes, but is not limited to: A Red Herring, Non-supportive, Appeal to Emotion (pity), Anonymous Authority, and onsets of a Straw Man. They work quite well, too. That is, if your reader doesn't know about them. If they do, then they instantly question your data and amount the Authority to moot.

The time has come for you fools to abandon that crummy DDR and duel me on Guitar Hero!

Bravo M! Your information astounds me :worship:
I've noticed some things as well which led me to believe that the certificate in question is a fraud.

I have researched everything about this so-called "National Tourney" with the website that M said before "www.ddrfreak.com" and just like M, I did not find even one shred of detail about this National Tourney in Michigan (except for the one 10 (maybe 9 now?) days from now.

It's just a shame that M beat me to the post...
My opinion still stands, this is a fake. That is, of course that you prove us wrong with hard, concrete evidence

@Noir7: Guitar Hero? Guitar Freaks is better XD

you can only get so good at ddr, then comes itg and itg2 (and itg3 :D)

Very nice work M :P

No white-out?
http://www.stanford.edu/~tanonev/cert.png
That's what the picture looks like if you replace all pure white with pure blue. Around virtually all of the text in bizarre blocky patches is this off-white, which didn't get replaced.
Even stranger is the fact that this off-white is what covers your "digitly" removed name, which MS Paint does not do. Not to mention the fact that I'm having a hard time getting your first name, Chris, to line up with the black parts that weren't covered. (Then again, there's hardly enough black to make any definitive statement about this, but the rest of the picture is very incriminating as it is.)

Lightningsage, now would be a good time to walk away from the computer, take a deep breath, then reintroduce yourself to the forums, honestly this time. We won't hold it against you :)

Reintroduce?

Reintroduce?

He would be talking about the lies you've been saying around the forums (KH 2 thread and the certificate) because if 2 lies were uncovered, how do we know that anything you say will be the truth or lies.

speaking of the certificate, you're not gonna defend yourself?

The certificate? Nah, I won't defend. But, you did get one thing wrong. That wasn't white-out, it was more paper.

Ok here goes....:
Hello! I am good at DDR and I have not entered the National Tournaments and I lied about having KH2FM+! (I'll admit...I didn't lie about being good, i'll give you that much.)

Was that good enough?

i don't suppose you have proof of being good :mellow:
admitting to lies wont make us trust you more...

Shush xD "Good" in this case is a subjective measure, so let's just let him slide and move on...

Don't worry, i'm not lying. Just go online for DDR when I have some Spare-Time, then you'll see. Mwuahahahaha!

And here I thought he was a pro DDR player...

I am, but I admitted that I didn't enter the nationals.

Yeah, it's more important to be a pro DDR player than to be an honest person.

Yeah, it's more important to be a pro DDR player than to be an honest person.

very true :P

I'm just saying if you lied about that, it can be difficult to believe in your skills but I'll put that aside and believe that you're...good.

Alright, if you have a network adapter for PS2, look for Lightningsage on DDREX2 Online.

Heh, you're on...as soon I get a network adapter and DDREX2 (only have DDR extreme and DDR super nova).

Prepare to be kevorked. Mwuahahahaha!

I can *almost* do Healing D-Vision on Standard...a bunch of my sister's friends were watching me do it, and they were amazed...

Healing Vision is a great song, I can do it on heavy, but it's kinda hard.

so anyone play ddr supernova yet? i was playing it at the bowling alley since they just got it. I got my name on the high score for max unlimited =D yay

I just killed myself in stepmania.

Yikes...at that point you may want to trade a stepmania marathon for a piano concerto or something xD

By the way, did you do Sepia on the keyboard or the pad? Just wondering...either way, looks hard :P

Oh, and...Anubis Expert full combo :D

Keyboard. I think that with the version of Sepia that I have, using a pad, is next to impossible. It has an average of 7 arrows per second, intermixed with doubles. But that's my opinion. Some crazy folk can pro'lly already do that.

So does anyone here play it w/ a ddr mat like me?
If I challenge any of you to a match (which I can't at the time due to a lack of equipment),
would I be dancing my ass off while you guys are sitting down w/ a controller? :\


so anyone play ddr supernova yet? i was playing it at the bowling alley since they just got it. I got my name on the high score for max unlimited =D yay

I have it for my PS2. It's fun to play but a bitch to unlock everything. Some of them require ddr professional scores on extreme and such (like an AA for a grade) and others are based on luck. I wish there was a character selection here but it's still a fun game.

You'd be lucky if you weren't dancing your ass off while the other guy is sitting with a pre-programmed auto-inputter.

They have that?....That's total b.s. It makes me wonder if I should even try to go online.

haha hard to get a double A? just play more and more, i remember one night it was snowing last year so my and my friend opened his basement door when we played so we would never get too hot from ddr and it was perfect, we got so much in the zone we stayed up all night and AAed every song in max and max2 and extreme excluding a like 2 songs for each, my heel looked all nasty red

They have that?....That's total b.s. It makes me wonder if I should even try to go online.

I play mat + no bar...the result is lots of accidents xD I think, though, that DDR is most fun when played in real life with a group of friends, as opposed to online (not that I've tried the online thing before). If you're going to do DDR online, it would probably be a good idea to only do it with people you know...otherwise, ask that they set a webcam up :P

well ived played on xbl with a headset
not that i could wear it while playing lol

Well, I play w/ my little brother on this game (we both play w/ ddr mats) and I have alot of fun doing so because he's actually better than me at it and I would always try to challenge him to a song he likes and own him at it. Sadly, I win about 20% of the time.-_-

I won't be getting on today for online DDR, soooo tommorow. I've been waiting now for a long time :mellow:

I won't be getting on today for online DDR, soooo tommorow. I've been waiting now for a long time :mellow:
Well, if you're hoping for a match then I'm sorry to disappoint you but most likely I won't be able to play against you. Why? I was going to get the game and the adapter to go online but that's when X-play had that episode about the Wii. I totally forgot about that and decided to put my funds on that. Also, hearing about those automatic controllers earlier kinda killed my desire to go online for that. Call me a coward if you will but I just don't have the desire to challenge you anymore after hearing that.

Maybe during the next Ichigo's meet-up event thing xD

In England? Riiiiight, I'll will never be going there again. Been there once when I was little, I don't think with my pay and my mom's combind we won't have enough. It's still an open possibility though.

I think I see what you mean by the song ``My Spirit will go on''. It freaked the crap out of me, AND crashed my computer.

I need a better dance pad...I have one of those $20 pads...and I can't get higher than an A on anything (not even on beginner...x_x)

I got SOOOO close to beating MAX300 Super Max Me Mix on difficult...but I have low stamina...but I finally got an A on Curus(expert)! I still don't know what's harder for me, Curus on difficult or expert...expert just has a lot of long streams, while difficult has a crapload of freezes...

I need a new pad too, i've gone through 3 $40 pads.

How about getting Dance Pad Dual Platform Compatible. It has a non-bunching design, elevated reinforced fire buttons, gloss surface, non-skid bottom and a ten foot cable. Not only that but it can be used for the PS2 and Gamecube (for you those that might have DDR Mario Mix). It's very good and responsive and I never had a problem when dancing on it. Just remember to take off your shoes before playing. :heh: My brother got two from Gamestop. That's the only place I know that has it. There may be others at other places.....

I'm thinking about getting a Red Octane pad.

theres another game called super dancer and its simler to DDR... its basically lik all the popular musics and its a online game so u can take ur mat or keyboard to the internet to lvl and verses other ppl... (the hard songs on there is lik impossible to play with a mat... its lik insane... lik a whole mug of arrow going up lik the speed of light... u cant even see them) there r also different modes lik lover mode, boy and girl pk mode, free style, opposite style(the hardest is this one because every once in a while lik 2 secs theres a arrow with a circle so u hav to press/step on the opposite of that arrow for ex. up=down down=up left=right right=left)^^

Hehe, that kind of like ITG, a cheap knock-off. I can understand why other companies want to create new styles of DDR, but some of them suck (song wise). Super Dancer, isn't that bad though. The songs aren't immposible, it just takes practice. I'm glad they have songs I know...but then again, StepMania is made by the same company, Konami, and it's exactly like that. I kinda like Super Dancer though.

StepMania is NOT made by Konami. StepMania is an open-source project designed to emulate Konami's closed-source game. There are lots of legal issues surrounding Konami songs and stepfiles made available for Stepmania. And for that matter, ITG's engine IS StepMania.

And I like the analogy that someone on the ITG forums once made: ITG is a cheap knock-off of DDR the way Soul Calibur is a cheap knock-off of Street Fighter ;)

I'm thinking about getting a Red Octane pad.

That's where you got your imaginative band name from I reckon? =p

Maybe... :shifty:

key word being imaginative
meaning, don't exist...

lol so iv been playing ddr supernova that my nearby bowling alley just got. i got my high scores in dynamite rave and basically all of the naoki songs XD

wat??? practise??? let c u practise hard mode i say yeah lvl 12 speed 5.0 or 6.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it took me 2 weeks to not die with keyboard........
after i played that song my fingers r dead.!!!!!!!!!

On what song? BecomingX?

I dunno, i've never tried Stepmania, and I don't think I will be til I get an XP computer.

I got a B on a challenge song in SuperNova!

And I got an A on DoLL(Expert). It's easy for an 8-footer...and Funkytown's easy for a 7-footer...

haha you people are funny, if any of you really get into the "undergroud" (for lack of a better word) of dance games you will find half your posts really funny, first of all its called super dance online not super dancer, its really bad and almost always off beat, the freezes arrows have to be let go one beat early to get them, the only two good dance pads are a red octane afterburner and a cobalt flux, tanonev seemed to know more than most of you except that i think itg is better, harder songs, better stepfiles, able to put your own songs in it and such, plus dedicabs have super amazing sensors, theres more stuff but i dont want to sound too mean : /

I never said ITG was worse than DDR o_O

Anyhow, I tried a cobalt flux pad and...I didn't like it xD I guess I'm too used to the foam pads...not to mention my having lots of trouble holding freeze arrows on a metal pad :P

DDR is having a contest on their site. It's for American Idol Karaoke Revolution.

How do you even play Karaoke Revolution? Does it require like a USB microphone for PS2 to play, or something like that?

Wikipeida is a good friend. Also I thought this was a DDR/Stepmania/ITG thread

Yeah, well EVERY topic will get off-topic time-to-time.

Yeah, the mic comes with the game for PS2.

I'm good at DDR. =D I'm dying to go to a tournament, but none are ever in las vegas. >_< (and a stupid ddr mario tournament at gamestop doesent count!)

I can pretty much do any 7 or 8 footer song in heavy, but I can also do good on bag in heavy. I broke my foot trying to do can't stop fallin in love (but I still fell anyway xD) speedy mix on heavy. ^^;

No tournaments in Las Vegas? I'm shocked.

im pretty sure they had the US ITG finals there last year, the world championship was in Osio though

Here's Xepher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN9QmQ2J--A

I'd be careful on how hard you hit the keys. I went through two keyboards until I learned how to pet the keys the right way.

Yeah, I know. I can do it on the pad and keyboard, but I never EVER perfect it.

IT HAS THAT MANY ARROWS!?!?!

Somewhere around 5300. It took me about a month to actually pass the damn thing. The bad part about all this... Is that "the fury of the storm" and "my spirit will go on" are 7x harder, and is the next step.

I think I'll stick to 12/13 footers and stay looking good rather than attempt a 15/17 footer and reach something similar to temporary comatose.

I just got stepmania, the highest level for me is 13-foot. (Rewrite Long version).

boo, boo, boo, boo, BOOOOO!!

how disappointing ㄱ-

DDR with keyboards? what has gotten into you people?

The least you could do is stick with Mixwaver and 5 keys...

Seriously, there's a whole new world out there that you haven't seen if you're talking keyboard bashing.

(Mies had a screenshot of 5300 keystroke song that lasted 13 mins. Lessee.. Try looking up DJMAX, and Astro Fight SC. in less than two minutes you got some 2000 or so keystrokes. Your keyboard breaks regardless of your knowledge on "how to hit keys without breaking them")

Stepmania is already easy enough, as the patterns are designed for you to do them with your legs. To play them on a keyboard with your fingers... One hand is waaay more than enough.

The ones one page back were keyboard, the one's on this page are pad. I got a new pad that had a USB on it not to long ago.

Easy if your playing on controller/keyboard. Hard on dance pad. Especially on my cheap $20.00 GameStop pad.

Anyway, I've been trying to pass Tsugaru on Heavy all day. I can do the first half, but then I get tired. XD

I DIDN'T DO IT ON THE KEYBOARD, HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY IT. I bought an Ignition 3.0 Red Octane pad for $70 that came with USB and the first thing I did with it was hook it up to the computer. If my mum and I had a video camera that wasn't from 1993, and could hook up to the computer, i'd make videos, BUT I DON'T.

Indeed you didn't do it on a keyboard, you did it with Photoshop.

Seriously, nobody here believes you're good at DDR or Stepmania or whatever, your own fault for forging certificates, now go sit in a corner and cry.

now go sit in a corner and cry.

No, no, and NO. I can understand, but for once when I actually post something good and that is truthful, I still get put down. I don't have photoshop...I have PSP. Prove that I edited it. THEN we'll see.

LMAO. sharp pointy point. Ouch. Starcraft yes.. well I don't live in Korea and technically I'm no longer a Korean so well.. there's my safety wall against that argument :mellow:

Yes you're right. point of this thread is to share our personal achievements etc.

B~u~t. I just hate those without skill pretending to be awesome (like go to youtube and search under DDR or something. not even full combo and they're like OMFG I SO PWN AT THIS) as much as Angelic hates fanboys and fangirls (just a comparison, calm down.. :mellow:)

And then I personally hate DDR emul for computer (thanks to the above para - the emul is the fricken' reason these so called 'legends' came into my flame-o-scope)
-And this would be why I'm booing at Lightning for playing DDR emuls

And then there is another, rather complex reason that my skill level (which is apparently really really really, godlike, and I'm just surrounded by monsters better than me because I'm around in the Mt.Olympus of Rhythm Simulation Games) is at a point where I wouldn't consider myself that great(because as I've said before, I've seen so many far greater than I), but there are even more out there who're so full of themselves who don't even deserve a match against like.. my younger brother's padawon's 400th disciple.

So yeah... just a personal thing. Btw, I only spend around 2 hours a week on average on rhythm sims. If I thought of this as a job and tried hard, I would be a professional DJ,B-boy,Drummer AND a Guitarist hm? (One man band! That'd make me famous lmao)


Really, its not hard to get Perfect combos on the keyboard. Its a 5 key piano!! I mean, Even I still can't play piano well regardless of how good I may be at this game :mellow:

All it takes is a sense of timing and enough dexterity to deal out a deck of cards without dropping all of it. As a composer you would have the former, the latter works out on maybe an hour's practice lol.

Well, it's easy to play on the keyboard because you have ten fingers, but you can only use up to four. Playing on foot is harder because you only have two feet (Not to mention the pad moving around while you play <_< ).

No, no, and NO. I can understand, but for once when I actually post something good and that is truthful, I still get put down. I don't have photoshop...I have PSP. Prove that I edited it. THEN we'll see.

I don't have to prove anything, you've been caught lying to boost your reputation on more than one occasion, basically you're just a really sad kid who tries to be cool by making up shit about himself, which is what pisses me off about you.

Your signature used to say "supreme god of DDR". That's just fucking sad, and more proof of the cunt that you actually are. You really think you're great, you make up that you have a band (seriously, Red Octane? That's the name of your own friggin' pad!) and you forge certificates. What reason do we have to believe you? None. I'm saying you're just trying to be cool. YOU prove ME wrong on THAT.

I can't. *chuckles* I really don't want to make my situation any worse. I would if I could take back everything I did, but I can't. Alright, I guess I'll make this plain and simple:

Look Angelic, I'm not trying to fit in with anyone cool, because usally, the cool kids are greedy, rebellious, and selfish. I took out that excerpt from my sig because I know i'm bragging a little too much, and I know that there are a lot of people better than me. I would also like you to stop calling me a cunt, cause that's really the only thing that gets to me most, other than that, curse my name as much as you want. I don't care anymore, all I want to do is live my life the way I choose, and I don't want it any worse than it already is. My band is real, but again, I have no way to prove that. My level of trust is hanging by a thread here, and I plan to pull my self up with that thread. I don't want to be cool, I don't care if I am, as long as i'm happy, then i'm ok. I promised to myself that I would never make my situtation any worse, and now, i'm posting the truth about my DDR skills. If I really wanted to "photoshop" my grades, wouldn't you think I would put AAA or AAAA? You're right, there's absolutely no readon to belive me, and I can't prove my truthfulness, which makes it even more reason not belive me. I can't prove you wrong, because I know that what you said is the truth (Except for me being a cunt, and the fact that my band is real, AND the fact that those grades were not photoshoped).

your are awsome ^_^
do you know when the

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't help but feel sorry for you, Lightningsage...but I really don't know if you're telling the truth or not.

And I think that we should rename this thread "Is Lightningsage really as good as he says he is?" because no one talks about their own records at DDR (except me and Lightningsage).

So, on SuperNova, I almost passed Fascination Maxx on Difficult (I probably could do it if I had higher stamina...), and on MAX2, I still can't do the last part of Tsugaru on Heavy...

(1) I didn't know being an admin gave you the right to cuss like a drunken sailor :mellow:

(2) If he has Photoshop, then why did he resort to scissors and glue for the certificate?

(3) I'm not an expert on StepMania scoring systems, but the scores and step counts seem to line up pretty well. I highly doubt that lightningsage would go from his certificate collage to a well-researched forgery. Now, if you were to accuse him of taking someone else's score and claiming it as his own, then you might have an argument.

It's always safe to consider other possibilities, ex. that they aren't even his. Not that I'm interested in arguing over these possibilities any further. :mellow:

And of course, everyone is too busy bashing Lightningsage to have read my last post...

And for anyone who would care, I got a C on Tsugaru(heavy)!

Listen, Lightningsage. If people think that you have edited your score then perhaps that isn't such a bad thing! Even if they don't believe you I think this is a confidence builder. If your score is so high then maybe people won't believe you. But, if you know you did it you won't have to prove it. Because you will get self-satisfaction, and I know that ou would lways tell the truth if you were lieing, right?

(Why don't you try a video clip? I LOVE videos of DDR, because people usually mess up at the parts I can't do too!)

He was cussing more like they did back in the Western Days XD.

Here's the thing: I didn't have PSP until maybe about a month ago, and to make sigs and avvies, I had to go to my friend's house. I didn't edit these, and I didn't steal them.

Well you and your mother might not have a video camera capable of connecting to a computer but I'd say that somewhere among all your friends there'd be someone who'd have one, and presumably they'd let you borrow it for the sake of proving something to people who you don't even know, about something that apparantly you don't even care about.

I can't help but feel sorry for you, Lightningsage...but I really don't know if you're telling the truth or not.

Well I just can't stop laughing my ass off here too, Man this place has become GREAT since I was last around.

Really, I personally don't care if Lightning bullshits or not. He's had his "I'm awesome" moments and "Sorry I lied" moments. And besides, his recent screenshots were pretty average and not worthy of a photoshop edit session to make it look cool lol.

I've already had my time of "Okay here's my list of accomplishments" and since I'm not renewing any, (and probably a lot more like me in the first couple of pages) no wonder not a lot of others post their grades :mellow:


I'm getting metaphorical vines sprouting on my arms and legs cuz I haven't played DDR or EZ2DJ/DJMAX or Drummania/Guitarfreaks in the last friggin' month. :mellow:

If anyone cares, I got a B on Tsugaru! And I got a C on Paranoia KCET, which is probably the only Paranoia I've ever passed on Heavy...

Go for Paranoia respect, lol

Tsugaru is a very very cool song. I like the Apple Mix of it.

Tsugaru reminds me of Sakura a lot...

Now I'm working on So Deep (Perfect Sphere Mix)...it's hard! I almost have all the patterns down, it's just getting it up to speed.

Yeah, anyway, I got a D on Kakumei(Expert) and a C on Kakumei(challenge)...I still don't get why it's easier on Challenge...I never noticed that a couple of years ago when I wouldn't dare to touch heavy and didn't know that Kakumei had Challenge on it, I just figured it out today.

Basically, most of Konami's music sim have the main director of sound appearing under multiple alliases. Naoki Maeda just overdoes the thing..

geez what doesn't Mies post?
I presonally don't think LS has the super skills to forge a certificate :)
It's not impossible that the guy just might actually be good at the game~

DDR is a really hard game I can go up to Novice but that's it XD
(real dancing not keyboard)

*high fives Eternal*
It's only fun when you dance. It's just lazy to use anything else.

Let's see you do "Glass Prison" "Fury of the Storm" or "My Spirit will go on" on a keyboard. Then you can call us keyboard players lazy.

I use keyboard/controller mainly for practicing the really hard songs, but I don't count it as beating it unless I do dance pad. I also used the controller for Stellar Master Mode on Supernova. (I've unlocked all the songs, I think, and I've beaten every joint 100% except the last two.)

:yawn:

I don't need to play it to tell you its easy

Disclaimer:I'm not trying to say I'm awesome and you suck. Myself is like only an average player down the street. I'm trying to say get out of that tiny well, see the big world. You don't have to play 5000 hours to get better.


Just quickly putting Glass prison for example, 5000 or so notes in roughly 13 minutes 22 something secs. So roughly about 700 secs. On average there is a littl' more than 7 notes to hit per second. Now I can't remember its BPM, but an average 120 song means there's 2 notes per sec just keeping the beat and so.. on a 120 song, these are easier than 16th, on bpm 180, it's barely harder than 8th. (constantly playing at that gap)

And anything slower than that makes it even easier.

Those I play comfortably onehanded aiming for high score/all "max judgement" would have around 800 notes playing for 90 secs. (note density doesn't mean everything, but its the first indicator of difficulty, after all. besides, its got 5keys :mellow: )

You like where you are? sure, knock yourself out. I just want to 'expand' your horizons :shifty:

(with some emo because well, I've said before, I hate DDR emul)

The "guys with no life" difficulty isn't really up there with the yingyang, its only like 1~2 hrs of practice/play/have fun for 2~4 weeks away.. and such guys themselves definitely don't play 24/7

I agree with Eternal.

I think this is what they call "lying with statistics". Unfortunately, I couldn't find Glass Prison, so I'll use My Spirit will Go On.
Just skimming the DWI file, I see:
7 minutes 58 seconds
200 BPM
608-step-long stream of 16ths with jumps interspersed (for reference, that's 13.3 Hz, nearly twice your estimate for the other song)
Reading further, I see that these streams are interspersed with sections of 8ths with lots of jumps, which would drive down the overall Hz.
Oh look, 100-long streams of 32nds (26.6 Hz, or almost four times your estimate).

I did a very,very, VERY rough calculation based on a screen shot of glass prison done by M. Flip a few pages back yourself. And so.. I wouldn't mind saying that's probably off by a good factor of.. 2~30% or maybe I'm just talking on a different planet.


You really like to bring complex measures and be accurate down to 0.01 in such light chat don't you? How about just quiet down and go look up crap on youtube. You can "ahhh" and "ohhh" at their shitty performance. You try to prove something and make an absolute gimp out of yourself. That's real smart.

Maybe it took me this long to figure out that if you've got the pass to enter Mt.Olympus, you're already legendary enough and don't need me to tell you how to get there. If you don't got what it takes, you were just never interested. My bad for trying to drag you up to my level. :mellow:



Edit: Maybe I would have to Fraps myself playing these to prove that the world isn't hard. Now I'm thinking why should I bother? I could post the same video here and say "see, you can do this too" or I could "OMFG I SO PWN AT THS" on youtube. But then I'd be making myself the exact same gimp that I despise so much so.. story ends.

My point is that (cross-referencing the Wii/360/PS3 post) you use a lot of rhetoric, but NONE of your facts check out. If you want light chat, then show it. I haven't seen a single post of yours that hasn't been sarcastic or derogatory. If you want to make a claim, either make sure it checks out or take corrections in stride.

He admitted forging it though.

Then why did he continue to defend himself with screen shots??? His joke taken the wrong way?

Kou is just a super human gamer.
DDR is a very hard game specially when the arrows begin flying.
I remember once I pushed the wrong button and it was only at Advance, after the first 6 arrows I died... It wasn't the fastest song in either :P

It takes practice. A LOT of practice. I've been playing for about 3-4 years, and I'm still not quite a pro yet. (although some DDR n00bs see me play and are like "HOLY CRAP SHE'S AWESOME!")

Anyway, I got a B on Maxx Unlimited!!!!!!!!!!


........on practice, speed 1, assist 4........

..........yeah, not a big accomplishment..........

It wasn't a joke, and the screenshots were from Stepmania, they had nothing to do with some DDR contest certificate he forged.

If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk about it.

I DIDN'T DO IT ON THE KEYBOARD, HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY IT. I bought an Ignition 3.0 Red Octane pad for $70 that came with USB and the first thing I did with it was hook it up to the computer. If my mum and I had a video camera that wasn't from 1993, and could hook up to the computer, i'd make videos, BUT I DON'T.


nah I was referring to these posts~
The guy sounds like he's gonna cry from all that accusation.

Question: Isn't Stepmania DDR without the actual dance pad? My first question was referring to the Stepmania screenshots that I thought you guys said he "forged" meaning docing up in photoshop~ Nyaa, sorry for the confusion :P

Stepmania in short was a shot at making DDR open source and expandable. A dance pad can still be used, so long as you buy a pad -> usb converter.

Thats it! I am going to buy DDR!

I can eat and do DDR at the same time!

I did AM-3P(AM east mix) while eating a buttered crecent roll! (I got a C)

And I FINALLY beat Healing D-Vision on Difficult with a B! Now to do Expert...

I'm thinking about getting StepMania...now I just own a few DDR gaems for PS2...

Whats a cresent roll?

Whats a cresent roll?

The english word of croissant roll.

If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk about it.

Exactly, the screenshots I took had nothing to do with the fake National Certificate. Let's just let this all go though.

I didn't use photoshop to forge the certificate, it was tape, and Microsoft Word. I usally never cry, even if I am telling the truth and no one will belive me. You can use both the keyboard and a USB pad, like my new pad.

Yep.

Overall, I did a stupid thing, and I started this arguement. If we can stop this, that'd be great, and I'll try and not annoy or lie to anyone again.

Anyways, I finally passed Rewrite (Long Version), but the highest i've ever gotten is a C sadly. I failed Frozen Ray (Crystal Mix), and I finally passed Sakura UNLIMITED.

These are all done with pad, yes pad, which means I still got a lot to learn. These are some of the hardest songs I've ever encoutered.

Good job. I couldn't pass those...

I can do about 20 seconds of MaxX Unlimited!

Ok, so I tried The Glass Prison to see if it was hard and...FAILED! M is truly a master, i've still got a ton to learn.

Haven't played Glass Prison...

BURNING HEAT IS HELL! Who else agrees? It's really hard to get all the 64th notes and the weird rythem...makes So Deep and Xenon seem easy...

sorry but i dont know much about ddr...

but arent there like 8 different versions? (or is that mixes?)

:)

Actually it was that song (Burning Heat) that got me into DDR, then to Stepmania. I loved how the notes followed the melody perfectly, and you feel good while playing it.

*will not share screenshot with grade; for it will anger people*

Won't anger me.

I had a dream that I beat MaxX Unlimited!

I thought it was a vision of the future, but when I played, I didn't pass...

Has anyone ever beat any of the MaxX songs on heavy/expert?

Yeah. I finally got a AA on Xepher!!!
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m185/Lightningsage/screen00095.jpg

And look at this sweet combo:

I've beaten Max300 (B, I think), Legend of Max (A), and MaxX Unlimited (C xD). All of them were on foam pads, though, so I had the added help of being able to fudge a few arrows...

Max. and Paranoia Survivor Max still are beyond me. I haven't tried Fascination Max or Max300 Super Max Me, but I doubt I could pass either :(

I like doing Fascination Max just to show off...but I've never passed it...

Yeah my new hobby is DDR. I got a Non-Slip pad and DDRMAX2.

Got hooked on it at a party on Friday night. Bought it on Saturday.

I love it, great workout! I'm already a fluent Light, and a border line Standard--but still, Standard is really hard, so I'm doing some challenge levels beforehand. :heh:

Yeah, i've lost atleast fourty pounds over the past three years. (I lose some, and gain some weight, does it ever end? XD)

:-( I haven't lost any weight playing DDR...and I'm a heavy player...

...or maybe I just gain the weight right back after playing...

My nephew is six and he can do standard...what the hell...

Yeah over the past few days I've lost a pound, and kept off 800+ carbs. :sweat:

:clap: Go Mazeppa!

My nephew is six and he can do standard...what the hell...

O_O

My sister is six and she can bearly do beginner.

Yeah I can do like 3 Standard songs.. with a D average score, highest standard was a B. :heh:

I can't get any higher than an A on my dance pad...

(maybe I should get a Red Octane Ignition 3.0...but I hear that they can break down like regular foam pads...)

Red Octane Pads are the BEST! I found a harder version of Daikenkai, and I love it!

Yeah just unlocked All the songs on DDRMAX2 and Endless Mode already.

I love that remix of Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude.

I'm now a starting Standard player in one week. :heh:

Quasar is a tough song, it's not fast-paced, but it has a ton of arrows.

I'm thinking about saving up enough money to get SuperNova used. :sweat:

I love that remix of Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude.

Me too. I find it funny that it's harder on heavy than it is on challenge...

EDIT: WHY HAS THIS THREAD DIED?????

Oh yeah, I FINALLY beat Burning Heat on Heavy!!!!! ...with a D...

Time to revive:

I got a AA on AA lol. XD

I...got a C on AA once...

I love AA. It's fast-paced, lots of arrows, and a heck of a workout. XD

I like it because it's a good song...

Right now, I'm trying to build up my stamina for the Max songs...nonstop mode's a great way to do it...I just did one course called best 12 or something like that on Max2, and it's a workout...but I lost on the 5th song (Afronova, a 9 footer at 200bpm)...

Right now, these are the only songs I need to beat on Max2:

So Deep
Afronova
Xenon(I may have done it before, I can't remember)
MaxX Unlimited

It's my birthday in 10 days, and I wan't more DDR games! I really want Max (first one), because I used to play it ALL THE TIME at my friend's house (before I got my PS2), but I moved and haven't played it forever (except some of the songs at the arcades)...it has my favorite song, Healing Vision (original and Angelic Mix)...

Afronova...POO.

Afronova is awesome, but for some reason I can't get above a C on it. Phlem.

Yeah I somehow beat MAX X on DDRMAX2 (Standard) with a B, almost A. I was like, "Holy shit! How'd I do that!?"

Lol, anyway I've been progressing a lot more lately.

Does DDR have happy material on it?

What the.. "happy" material? Explain. x_x

A song maybe? If you have stepmania DDR, yes, if not, no.

I BEAT SO DEEP ON HEAVY!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!

I got a C...

March 13, 2007: Jordan finally beat So Deep (Perfect Sphere Mix) on Heavy.

EDIT: Guess who just beat Afronova on Heavy?

Yes, Dick Clark just did.

Just kidding, it was me for all you dumbasses out there...

I got a D, though...

There's a video on youtube: someone did Afronova on Heavy with a score of AAA, when I find it, I'll post it.

EDIT : Here it is. The sound of off-sync a little to. Afronova Heavy AAA (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MaCUCuM-ySw)

I got a Red Octane Ignition!!!!!

I got it for my birthday, along with the first PlayStation DDR...I love it!

Sweet. Now all you need is SM and you can have songs you've never dreamed would be on DDR!

My new pad works so much better...it keeps track of all my steps. Before, I could never get higher than an A, and A's were rare. I get more Perfects now...

Currently working on Maxx Unlimited...I can do the first 41 bars! It has a lot of weird rythyms that don't seem to go with the song, but just practice them and they can get in your head. Plus, I find it easier than Max 300, which is REALLY stamina draining, more tham Unlimited. I have low stamina...I can't even run 1/4 of a mile...

EDIT: AAGH! This thread died AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

I got a B on Drop Out (Heavy) !!!!!!!!!!!

The last part reminds me of one of the Max songs... X_X

EDIT: COULD SOMEONE JUST FUCKING POST ANY FUCKING SHIT IN THIS GOD DAMN FUCKING THREAD!?!?!?!?! Geez, why the fuck haven't we had any fucking posts for almost a whole fucking month? Have we all lost fucking interest in fucking DDR? Do I have to fucking talk to myself now? Just fucking get your god damn fucking fat asses over to this fucking thread and post any random fucking shit about fucking DDR!!!!!

I'm not normally such a potty mouth.........XD I'm just really pissed at the lack of posts...

I counted 13 F-bombs...
