Dance Dance Revolution

[CatMarieS]

One of my favorite games is DDR. Lot's of fun, especially in a group. Too bad it stinks up the room real fast. :) I'm fairly competent, I get Bs and As on standard difficulty.

[bunny]

I love DDR too. The first one on the old PS is my favorite actually. I didn't like the DDR Max for PS2 as much (music wise.)

[MorbidGnome]

I keep falling off the damn machine at the mall so I haven't played in a while. I used to be pretty good, getting mostly As on heavy.

[Cloud]

i only play it in the arcades... not played it in a while though...

I usually get Bs and As on expert.. there are some expert songs i cant do though

[tidus]

I used to play a lot, and still drop by the arcade when I can find the time. I can past a number of 10 foot difficulty songs, and some 11 difficulty songs while playing In the Groove... as well as stack 14 modifiers on Expert 9 songs. I've been playing for a while, needless to say. ;)

[GoldenSkySet]

Heh, I'm the president of the DDR club at my college. :D

I like Extreme (for the aracade) best. I can pass some 10-foot songs (Sakura, Paranoia Survivor Max, Max 300, and Queen of Light on In The Groove). Unless I'm playing on a soft pad... then I can USUALLY pass a 7-foot song. ^_^ I'm used to the arcade and my Colbolt Fluxes.

[SUKI]

I love DDR too.. it's too expensive to play in the arcade....my fave version is extreme(ps2 version) and ima standard player... but can play some heavy songs

[CatMarieS]

I still can't get the hang of Heavy level songs, but one day I hope to be as talented as everyone here claims to be! :p

[Jaguar]

I hold myself responsible for getting my friends hooked on DDR (whether they admit it or not XD). While we don't do it as much as we used to, it still has a fond memory in my heart.
My favorite DDR jams are So Deep (Perfect Sphere Remix), Look To The Sky, AM-3P, and pretty much anything by Naoki or DJ Taka.

Oh, and Maxx Unlimited in DDRMAX2 -- YIKES! Can you say heart attack?

[tidus]

I still can't get the hang of Heavy level songs, but one day I hope to be as talented as everyone here claims to be! :pYou'll get there if you just stick with it. I had the advantage of usually playing alongside someone else who was better... that always helps you improve, especially if you challenge the same songs as that person (even if you fail). There are a lot of tricks that will help you improve more quickly, though.

I highly recommend learning to "speed read"... you can do this by using faster speed modifiers than you're comfortable with, on songs you know you'll pass anyway. Also, try to learn to react to combinations of steps that repeatedly come up in harder songs (such as down, right, down, left, down, right, down left, etc.) where you have to turn your body to do them easily.


Maxx Unlimited in DDRMAX2 -- YIKES! Can you say heart attack?Yeah, seriously... talk about some crazy steps! I'm surprised that I ever beat that song on Heavy... XD

[brandon1980]

I love DDR to I mean i been whith it sench the 1st mix and i love it and i am still on Light mode (tell me i been playing it sench 1999 and still on Light) well and i am over weaght like 200+ pounds over what i should wagh but i do ddr for my workout so i won't go to my locel YMCA (I mean I hate to Pay 60+ dollars To do something i don't like :p ) well i got it on my ps2 DDR Extreme 2 and i love it I can play online whith others and have a good time whith it and i do go to my arcade and play it to but thay have DDR Extreme (damn i wish Konami comes out whith a new one for the arcades for them not going to Pump It Up or In The Groove) well got to go see ya

[GoldenSkySet]

Yeah, crossovers are a big thing. It took me months to even attempt it, it's so hard. (Crossovers are like that down-right-down-left-down-righ-down-left thing Tidus was talking about. You step on the down arrow with your left foot, the right arrow with your right foot, then the down arrow with your left foot, then the left arrow with your right foot: you end up actually not facing the machine, which is really scary the first few times you do it.)

I like Candy Star/No Vocals best... but I also really like Sakura and Tsugaru. And Rhythm and Police!

Does anybody besides for me space out the arrows at 1.5 to 3 (if it's a slow song) because it makes it EASIER to read? I have bad eyesight, so when I get a bunch of eighth and sixteenth notes together, I can't read what steps I'm supposed to do in which order if they're too close together.

[tidus]

well i got it on my ps2 DDR Extreme 2 and i love it I can play online whith others and have a good time whith it and i do go to my arcade and play it to but thay have DDR Extreme (damn i wish Konami comes out whith a new one for the arcades for them not going to Pump It Up or In The Groove)Konami has already released a new arcade version of DDR for public testing, actually. After all these years, it's about time... and I'm still amazed that they did it, considering that DDR's market is virtually dried up in Japan. Anyway, it's called DDR SuperNOVA. You can learn more about it below, if you're interested. ^^

I don't recommend actually posting on those forums, as some of the moderators are permanently on power trips (though thankfully there are even more nice ones there)... but DDR Freak is a great news site and resource. Most of the people there are really nice, too... it's a great place to learn more about the Bemani community, and see just how good people are.

XD The only way for some people to pass Bag on Heavy mode is that, though I feel like it totally defeats any of the purpose of playing the song on the first place. I feel dirty after watching someone play Bag with a 5x speed modifier turned on. *grin*

[noiluvumore]

its been a long time since I have played DDR since all the good arcades closed in my area and would have to drive 45 mins to get to a decent one.
=(

When I used to play I was able to get a lot of B's on the hard setting. ... *SIGH* I don't even remember what it is any more.

[Kxela]

XD DDR Rocks! The hardest song I've ever played and made it through was Paranoia Survivor Max on heavy. I think i got a B. MAX300 is my favorite song :3

Oh and if anyone has heard of In the Groove (2) it's pretty much the same as DDR and the songs are tougher (hardest songs go up to 13feet, I've only done a few 11's)

[Ch*yeuk]

Who here plays DDR? >=) What level songs can you play? Favourite song?

I play at standard. My favourite song to show off to is Love Love Shine or Captain Jack XD hehe. Favourite to practice with is Captain Jack (= As for the songs itself, I like BREAKDOWN.

[hml1102]

I luv da captain jackk song!! its even in my mp3!^.^

[littlekittysakura]

I'm making the transition from light to standard. Some songs I play standard but the harder songs I still play on light. :P

I have ddr ultra mix 3 and it's the only one I've ever played very much. I like "Bye bye Baby Balloon" for whatever reason... I don't know either... and I like (I think it's by Captain Jack) "Together and Forever." :P

I like dj Taka too... :P

[ACID VISION]

i stopped playing a year ago but i going to start again because the new DDR SUPERNOVA machine is going to be released soon!

[MorbidGnome]

i stopped playing a year ago but i going to start again because the new DDR SUPERNOVA machine is going to be released soon!Same. I can't wait for SuperNOVA.

[Alphonse Elric]

the people that can do it on heavy are INSANE!!! i watched a couple of people do it.. and i was blown away but how fast the arrows moved....

[Ch*yeuk]

Wow I never heard of SuperNOVA. The latest one I've played is Extreme

[AbstainSentinel]

I usually do heavy moda, but I can't do all songs on heavy. ^_^ I love Captain Jack's In the Navy (Heavy) (galloping rocks ^^)

"A" is awsome in heavy mode too.
I reserve Afronova for Standard mode. I only managed Primeval once in heavy...couldn't do it ever again XD I lost practice.

I'm glad to see there are other DDR people here ^^
Hi guys!!

[tidus]

Oh and if anyone has heard of In the Groove (2) it's pretty much the same as DDR and the songs are tougher (hardest songs go up to 13feet, I've only done a few 11's)Indeed; I mentioned it in my posts earlier. Can you pass any 11s besides Charlene and Utopia? I'm working on Xuxa now. Also, the hardest songs are like 15s.

[Kxela]

Indeed; I mentioned it in my posts earlier. Can you pass any 11s besides Charlene and Utopia? I'm working on Xuxa now. Also, the hardest songs are like 15s.
Xuxa was my first one, Robotix second and *cries* i made it through pandemonium at hard once. I don't think I've ever tried Charlene at expert and i didnt make it through Utopia last time i tried.

[AjisainoHime]

X.x I slipped and fell on my ps2....the end ^_^. But i love ddr when its at a arcade because i can't fall on anything and destroy it. R.I.P mr. Ps2 :p

[Manga608]

Meh friend Bess has it and I LOVE IT!! *laughs crazily*

[Shannish]

I love DDR!!!!! But I haven't played it in a while my brother never gets off the playstation!! The last time I played I was on standard but I don't know anymore ^^

[Alphonse Elric]

ddr is so awsome.. i think the 2nd one is the best one..

[Schweppes]

So much fun. I can do heavy. I don't like the mall because I don't like strange people watching me.

[Countess Cain]

I love DDR, but I can only play Light mode, apart from one or two songs that I can do on Standard. I'm not coordinated enough to do better. T_T

[the final pie]

DDR is beautiful! I obsess on it!

[Arya]

DDR is the greatest! I play at home and at the arcade. The only bad things is that my dance pads keep falling apart. I get A's on standard, and I can play a few songs on heavy.

[Skeith]

I like DDR....
I have DRR Extreme at home.....
I cant play it anymore because of my big feet..........(size 13) I was gonna get DRR Extreme 2, BUT I got SC3 instead

[kookylaski]

YAYNESS!!! A DDR forum!!! *jumps for joy* All righteh, now for my piece. I love DDR and have al four games for the PS2, the first one is the only one that's ruined but other than that, I play 'em all quite often. Lastly, I'm at a standard level but doing the occasional heavy song...those really wear me out...

[Ch*yeuk]

Er.. `^^ what happened to my DDR thread? >_<

[kookylaski]

I really dunno how to answer that...

[ACID VISION]

probably got removed since there was another DDR thread already

and were next to get Super Nova Euorpe was the first to get it

[stickdeathgod]

I love DDR Ive got all the versions for ps2 and Ive got ITG2 Im on heavy and I play allmost every day I can allmost pass LOM (legend of max):D

[Die_Hateru]

I could never get good on ITG, but I have been playing on DDR for about four years now :3

[Naota Nandaba]

CatMarieS, you forgot about Beginner and Challenge levels on the poll. Anyways, I've been playing DDR for a little while now. The Mario Mix sucked and I still don't have Extreme 2. But the first Extreme was good. The legend of MAX is so hard. :(

[stickdeathgod]

OMG I totally agree with you about mario mix it totally sucks. but, DDR Xtreme 2 was awesome. Im so close to being able to pass LOM the only problem I really have is when it slows down cause I cant figure out when it speeds up again

[Naota Nandaba]

I've also played MAX2, and it was awesome. Better than Extreme IMO. but I'm still getting Extreme 2.

[Ch*yeuk]

probably got removed since there was another DDR thread already

Oh whoops >*< thought I looked through all the pages before creating it X _ x

[tidus]

Xuxa was my first one, Robotix second and *cries* i made it through pandemonium at hard once. I don't think I've ever tried Charlene at expert and i didnt make it through Utopia last time i tried.You are awesome if you can pass Pandemonium on Hard... *drool* ...I am so impressed~! I haven't tried Robotix, but I can't pass Xuxa just yet. I've only tried it once so far.

[Countess Cain]

I've also played MAX2, and it was awesome. Better than Extreme IMO.

I agree, even though I like both games. Max2 just has better songs! (<3 Days Go By.)

I think my all time favorite (for the PS2) is Extreme 2. I play it the most by far.

Oh, and does anyone else like going online and searching up videos for those people that do all those tricks? I've seen Korean videos where the people are really doing some great 'moves' on a Pump it Up (?) machine.

[pikachu7]

DDR 2 for ps2 is my favorite because they had the best variety of songs I think.
And I can go on heavy mode but you gotta be able to hear the beat of the song then you''l understand, but if you can't follow the beats, then you'll mess up and get an if.
Like on the fastest song on there called MAXX I think, I can do that on heavy but I usually get a C or B.

[Kxela]

You are awesome if you can pass Pandemonium on Hard... *drool* ...I am so impressed~! I haven't tried Robotix, but I can't pass Xuxa just yet. I've only tried it once so far.

I play xuxa at x3 speed, it really depends on how you like it- this dude (he must not be human he plays Bloodrush and Pandemonium on expert 0_0 ) got me into playing at faster speeds so i usually boost most of my songs.

and about the difficulty... I think it's true there are lvl 15 songs but i think those are people made edits. I played this insane lvl 14 "why me" song edit it was frickin all hands. But I think the highest ITG original song is 13 (vertex^2, summer, determinator, etc.)

Right now I'm working on passing July and Vertex at expert.

Right now I'm working on passing July and Vertex at expert.Oh, I've seen scores around 90% on 13+ songs from some people... it's just not fair how good they are. ._. As for speed modifiers, I thought everyone who played In the Groove used (abused) them to read challenging songs. They work so much better in ITG 1/2 because of the increased frame rate, plus the ability to see the arrows earlier.

If you use a perspective like Hallway or even use Mini, you can see the arrows even sooner. I've seen people play Expert 11+ songs at like 4x/5x speed using that trick, and they can read way ahead... but still be more accurate than average, so it helps keep 'em alive. I'm planning to try that little modifier combination this weekend. ^^ Clever people, huh?

As I don't expect to pass a 13 difficulty song yet, I stack modifiers on hard songs. For example, I've passed Kagami (Expert Single; it's a 10) with 2.5x, Wave, Boomerang, Dizzy, Fade Out, Reverse, Beat, Hide Targets, Hide Judgment, Space, and Flat/Robot on. Add Accel, Drift, Mini, and Random and change 2.5x to 1.5x, and that's how I play Dawn (Expert Single; it's a 9).

Most people don't believe that I can do this after they try the modifier combinations themselves, even on much easier songs... so, I took pictures to prove it. ^^ Oh, and Alex... the difficulties above 13 are on In the Groove 2, and I'm not referring to custom stepfile edits.

[Hollzama]

I'm making the transition from light to standard. Some songs I play standard but the harder songs I still play on light. :P

Ack, I hate being in between difficulties like that. I get discouraged easily and have a low motivation AND am lazy lol. Bad combo, I know. I'm in between standard and heavy, and can do a lot of heavy songs on DDRMAX3, but ever since I got extreme 2 especially, can barely do any of them :( Oh well, guess I should just play more and keep at it!

And thanks to those for the tips about making the arrows faster like that...I always thought they were just used to make things more difficult o.O I'll have to try it.

And to add a question, does anyone else believe a DDR class should be added to the Physical Education Curriculums at school? I've been forced to take PE all my life and hate it..but if we did something like DDR, well, that would just be sweet hehe. What do you guys think?

[Kxela]

Oh, and Alex... the difficulties above 13 are on In the Groove 2, and I'm not referring to custom stepfile edits.

o.o!? really? which songs?

[Parfait]

does anyone else believe a DDR class should be added to the Physical Education Curriculums at school?

AHAHA. <3 Hell.yes. I can just imagine football games on Friday being replaced with DDR tournaments.

[Countess Cain]

Oh, you mean like the West Virginia schools are doing? I'd love to play it during PE.

I mean, it's not like my class does any actual physical work anyway. We just stand there and talk. XD

[tidus]

o.o!? really? which songs?My apologies, Alex... I stand corrected. I must've been looking at unofficial edits.

[Kxela]

My apologies, Alex... I stand corrected. I must've been looking at unofficial edits.

lol ahh its cool. :D Hopefully they'll put harder songs when ITG3 comes out.

By the way, anyone heard of DDR SUPERNOVA? Looks like it'll be out sometime later this year. The videos I saw looked awesome ^^

[Caede]

We had a DDR competition with my anime club. It was awesome and now are normally stingy principal is writing up a proposal to get DDR machines hooked up in our school. It's awesome!!!

[saralicious]

AHAHA. <3 Hell.yes. I can just imagine football games on Friday being replaced with DDR tournaments.
Ah, my idea of heaven on earth. *dislikes such sporting events with a passion* Although, *cowers* I'm fairly n00bish when it comes to DDR. I've only been playing a few months, which adds up to about 6 times, and have only recently been on Light Mode. I must say, though, Tsugaru is my favorite song. ^_^

[Kxela]

lol oops, I have a habit of skipping to the last page :P

[sregirl]

I hold my friend Yexis responsible for hooking me on DDR. I play an hour a day (yes, I'm obsessed and have been forced to lose weight thanks to Mom, but I only have two games and they're starting to bore me...) I play on a standard-to-heavy level, 6-7 feet depending on the speed.

[Mithsipan]

Hey, I know some people must have heard of this game.
I want to know what you guys do to play at the arcade, I'm a expert at home but the arcade platform sucks for me. Any helps or tips will be great.

Thanks!:)

[AnastasiaBeaverhausen]

Ah I love DDR, sadly I'm not very good. I can only play on light mode. I haven't played it in an arcade in quite awhile XD

[Mithsipan]

Ah I love DDR, sadly I'm not very good. I can only play on light mode. I haven't played it in an arcade in quite awhile XD

yeah...I can play heavy but the arcade platform is really hard

[Menstrual Cramps]

I'm a heavy player as well. I like challenge songs and Oni is my favorite thing everrr. <3 I've been playing since it was first released on PS1. I came across it and it looked interesting so I bought it. I've been hooked ever since. I can't wait until the new machines are released at my local arcade~ I'll totally be there. :cool:

[Mithsipan]

One of my favorite games is DDR. Lot's of fun, especially in a group. Too bad it stinks up the room real fast. :) I'm fairly competent, I get Bs and As on standard difficulty.

Hey, I know some people must have heard of this game.
I want to know what you guys do to play at the arcade, I'm a expert at home but the arcade platform sucks for me. Any helps or tips will be great.

Thanks!:)I have a lot of suggestions, but here are some basic ones. Play certain songs that will eventually teach you advanced techniques. Kick the Can on Heavy/Maniac Single will teach you to quickly read runs of Left, Down, Up, and Right. Cowgirl Heavy Single will teach you gallops. Boom Boom Dollar (any difficulty on Single mode) will teach you turns.

If you know that you won't pass a song, play it as your last song... or play it with someone skilled who will pass it, or someone less skilled who will pass it on an easier difficulty. Always challenge yourself when you won't get your game cut short. Even if you fail a song in the middle, keep playing it for the practice if you can... assuming the game doesn't cut you off immediately.

If you play where Joint Premium is available, start both sides of the machine... then play a hard song as your first song, and leave the second player's side on Beginner or Light/Basic so you get another song no matter what. There are probably hundreds more tricks... I should write a FAQ one day from my own personal experiences.

[Mithsipan]

Yeah...I can play at my MAT at home....but the problem is the metal mat kills me for some reason...:(

[tidus]

Yeah...I can play at my MAT at home....but the problem is the metal mat kills me for some reason...:(If you're referring to the pain caused by stepping on metal instead of soft foam, it sounds like you simply need shoes with more support for your soles. I play in boots, which really isn't recommended... *grin* ...and I'm sure that it hurts my performance quite a bit. Find something comfortable for you to wear that provides adequate support, but provides a smooth flat surface for stepping.

If the problem is that you simply don't hit steps as accurately, the problem is the size of the official arcade platform in arcades. It's significantly larger than most home pads I've ever seen, which means that you simply have to step further. The only way that gets easier is if you practice on an arcade machine. I don't play DDR or In the Groove at home (there are no crowds in my apartment, so I have no motivation to), so I don't have that problem.

The only other advice I might be able to offer you is not to slam your feet down on the pads, which you can get away with on soft pads with or without your shoes on. Be lighter on your feet, stepping more near your toes instead of your heels. By the way, if you're not taking off your shoes to play on soft pads... do so. You'll destroy soft pads in no time if you play on them with your shoes on.

[Mithsipan]

Ok...Thanks.

[tidus]

Ok...Thanks.*smiles big* I hope that helps. I love spreading my DDR and In the Groove love, and wish that everyone would play it more... thus encouraging others to play by setting an example. It's such a healthy addiction. ;) In fact, it's an addiction that our society could really use considering the fast-food culture we live in today.

[ketsuekiraven]

I have never played ddr, but I have watched people play it and it is very amusing :) In fact, the arcade place in my mall, I met these two guys that are experts at the game. They even go as far as call off work to play it.

You're Right...

[dreamcatcher]

I love DDR! I like playing with a friend b/c it looks cool when we're dancing together

[Jadest]

this a cool game I played and i think is ;)

[emmy]

I really need more versions of the game.
I lucked out and a friend gave me her old Madcatz dancepad and an older and well used copy of DDRMax(I have played other versions in arcades, so I know it isn't the best version xP. But beggers can't be chosers.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for which titles to look for?
(I don't mind older versions if they are considered to be better.)
Or just a heads up on what versions one shouldn't buy?

[lepster]

i love the game but i totalyl suck at it! oh well! it's fun to just totally screwball around! but i'm not a bad dancer honestly! jsut at the game. just the game...

[HackerEd]

Konamix has a nice selection on it.

I need to go out and get Extreme2 because it has a lot of songs I like to play on it, like Captain Jack, Butterfly, Daikenkai and Candy.

[tidus]

I love DDR! I like playing with a friend b/c it looks cool when we're dancing togetherThere's actually a "Battle" mode in DDR 4th Mix PLUS (though only on certain songs, I believe) where some of the arrows come down in the middle of the screen, then actually slide over to one or both sides of the screen. It's really cool, but I'm sure that you can only play it with two people (since I don't think it would serve any purpose if you played it alone). ^^

In the Groove 1 and 2 also have a Battle mode, where you throw progressively more challenging modifiers at the other player once you build up a bar from stepping accurately. That's the best way to play with two people. <3

[Calypso]

I've never played it at an arcade, but I got a foam mat at home and started in last November.
I'm still pretty new to it.
Basically if I turn on "Little" mode I can do almost anything- life is SO much easier without those annoying little notes. :P
Without that I'm stuck inbetween Light/Standard Mode depending which version of the game I'm playing. o.O
For some reason Standard DDR Max2 is harder for me than DDR Extreme's Standard.
Though I just got Extreme 2 and that's looking harder than the other 2.
I wish I could put all my favorite songs together in one game.
I love songs like Tsugaru, Music, V, and Days go By.

[Akumu]

My friend introduced me to DDR a year or so ago. XD I was so horrible at it back then, and I'm still rather mediocre today, but at least I know I've improved. When I told my mom about it, she got In the Groove for my brother and I, and I've loved it ever since.

Unfortunately, since my brother is perpetually plugged into the PS2 (and our first Ignition pad majorly sucked and had to get replaced), I couldn't play very often. I learned how to play using the controller pretty well, though, and I know the rhythms to most of the songs now. I was so proud of myself when I got a "B" on Hand of Time, Hard Level using the pad. ^^; It's my second-favorite ITG song next to Anubis.

As for skill level...I'm at the Standard/Medium-progressing-to-Hard stage. I really wanna get a DDR game for home use; my favorite song on there is Healing Vision~Angelic Mix~. :D

[Hollzama]

I play in boots, which really isn't recommended... *grin* ...and I'm sure that it hurts my performance quite a bit. Find something comfortable for you to wear that provides adequate support, but provides a smooth flat surface for stepping.

My feet always hurt after a round of ddr on the machines as well. I don't think I step too hard considering I'm pretty easy on my soft pads at home, and no matter what shoes I wear (sneakers similar to converse, gym shoes, even Vans/"skater shoes") my feet always hurt at the arch of the foot. Are my feet just weird or am I doing something wrong?

[kyothekitty]

that was the worst thing i ever played my feet hurt for ages sothe worst thing was that it was on easy that sucked really bad i'm so out shape*sob*:confused: *sob*

[scarecrow]

I suck at DDR T_T

[Calypso]

I'm stuck at DDR. Between Light & Standard.
I can't seem to handle 8th notes. /sigh

[chocopocko]

i can only do light normally but ive only been on once at my friends party i can do standard on one song its called Moonlight Shadow i think. i did that song over and over because my friend wanted an A on it(she hasnt played before either)

OH, you poop heads! You didn't have to bump a thread this old!There's no reason for people to post in a new thread when there's a perfectly good thread right here for them to post in already that isn't old. This entire message board isn't even old enough to have an "old" thread yet. Please keep posting in this thread, as I've requested to have the redundant thread locked. It's selfish to ask people to post in your "new" thread because you failed to search for a thread on the topic that you created it on first.

But his other thread isn't about DDR, so it's not redundant.

I know this is rather old, but I had to vote.

[Shizu-san]

It's been awhile since I've played this... ("awhile"=2 weeks)

I can play most of the songs on Heavy, though. I'll be the first to admit that So Deep makes me either a) have a heart attack or b) fall off the mat on the heavy setting.

I didn't fail to search you retarded chipmunk. I simply saw a weak thread and decided to make it a little more broad. I don't see why my thread should be locked. Why post in an old thread when you can post in a perfectly superior and better thread? anyway, I don't appreciate your "holier than thou" attitude, dick.

BTW just AA'd lom yesterday. I'll put pics up later. I haven't played in nearly 4 months but I still got it! ;)

[kariuchiha]

I haven't played DDR in awhile..not that I'm any good at it though. I switch from playing on light and playing on standard. Though I don't really like the most recent one that came out, which is DDR Extreme 2 (I think that's the most recent one..). I don't think that one has all that great songs, not like the former ones. *shrugs*

[WhistleBlower]

Errrrr. Why did people stop posting about DDR? Anyways with hopes of bringing it back to its former glory I shall post!. Ahem. I play heavy DDR cause in my house anything less than very hard makes you a pansy lol. I play then I lay on the couch and pass out satisfied with my A,B or C if it was a shady run.

[TonightMidnight]

I have DDR extreme 2 and I'm in love with it. Everyone who I've introduced the game to has fallen in love with it also. Soon we'll all be anorexic DDR nerds.

[WhistleBlower]

Thats the dream. Then we shall get fat again when we stop using mats and go back to our natural video game tools. Our hands.
Ahhhh post number 200 is coming. I wonder if anyone noticed I left the fourums for about 6 months.

[merines]

I've got DDR Max, Extreme, Extreme2 and SuperNOVA for console, as well as a SuperNOVA arcade machine at the local university union hall. I've been stuck with the same Konami standard-issue soft mat for about 2 years, so I've been stuck with Standard, though I can pass some 7-8 foot Heavy songs if the pad is having a good day.

[WhistleBlower]

I got an F last night!!! I was playing a new song and I got a big fat F! I dont even think I would feel this bad if I got an F in school. This is SO depressing-_-

[merines]

Meh, I'm bad at sight-reading too. New songs are always difficult unless you've heard them before and can recognize the beat. I totally freak out when Paranoia -Respect- stops because the music (which I know) doesn't stop, but the steps do. >_>

[TonightMidnight]

Does anyone notice that you have to play DDR every day to keep your skill level high? If I don't play for a couple of days and then get back on- I suck for the first couple of songs I try.

[SleptDoll]

Heh. I'm a complete DDR addict, I'll admit xD

Currently, I'm on 8 and 9 foot Heavy songs. I did try Sakura (10 foot) the other day, but I tried it after spending god-knows how much money playing doubles, and I was dead. That was not a good idea, I can tell you xD I was so knackered.

Anywho. I tend to play doulbes a lot more than I play singles these days. I'm only on Standard on those, but I'm getting closer to Heavy. Not much longer~ I find doubles far more fun than Singles. Well, on the SuperNOVA machine xD

Does anyone else play doubles? I started playing it after hitting a wall with my singles, and it has allowed me to improve so much; my timing is so much better, as is my sight reading. It improves your movement and balance as well, so if you previously thought that you wouldn't be able to beat that 9/10 footer without clinging to the bar, you actually can. You might need to hold it with one hand for balance, but you won't be bar hugging xD ♥ (I used to play with the bar, now I don't).

Yah that happens to me all the time. The only time I play is late at night and sometimes I dont and when I try again the game laughs at me-_-. I remembered I did not play for like a month and I felt like I was new to the gmae again.>_<

[binaryzero]

i can't play DDR to save my life.

what i do like about the game is seeing it keep people interested in arcade machines,
and seeing buddies of mine land their songs in the home versions.

[Honey]

...i just started playing ddr...it's super fun! ...i'm on light for almost all the songs [except daikenkai] ...the first time i played sakura...i got a c on light...[i was so proud of that -_-' ] lol

[WhistleBlower]

Dont worry your talent shall grow young grasshopper. Soon you shall be a DDR master and ranked with the Gods.

[Pchan]

DDR has always been one of my favorite games and it never fails to bring the fun factor and adrenaline in your veins. Love all the songs and characters. I only have DDR: Max 2 and Extreme. Plannin' to get Extreme 2 and SUPERNOVA.

[TonightMidnight]

Sweet Sugar! :eek: !!!

Definately Hater-Worthy DDR Skills! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0gh6hzs_7Kc&feature=PlayList&p=E4E2CB56C1F33C4E&index=1)

I wish I could play like that!

[pikachu7]

I have ddr max , max 2 and extreme for the PS2 and they're pretty fun but it seems like out of the 3 ddr max2 was the easier one to master songs and had alot more good beat songs to it then the first one and extreme is extreme 2 and supernova better than the first 3?^>^?

[aznbbplayer]

[fennikusu134]

My friends and I play some pretty intense DDR. I was on Heavy before I hurt my leg, now I'm back on standard while I have this huge brace on. We like all those cutesy little songs, but my guy friends are on a quest to beat Bag.
