DDR players, where art thou?

[ShaunOfShadou]

I'm sure there are a least a few of you who are dance game enthusiasts such as I, be it DDR or ITG. Who amongst you are DDR/ITG fans, and have you any scores or achievements worthy of mention?

I'm a Heavy (8) player, and some of my accomplishments include:

Do Me (H.I.G.E.O. Mix) Heavy - A
era (nostalmix) Heavy - A
MAX 300 Standard - A
The legend of MAX Standard - A

Not very impressive, but I'm working my way up.

Nah, I'm more of a fan of Korea's Exceed: Pump It Up myself. I've never been fond of the four-button setup that DDR has. I think because DDR's four buttons are so closely placed together.

Exceed has five buttons, a top right/left, bottom right/left and center. Can't say I usually pwn in either game, though, but I'm decent in PIU.

I've seen PIU in action, but from the look of it you need a specialty pad to play it as most platforms don't have sensors in the central position. I can see how that would be fun, though.

Oooh. You meant to play at home!

I generally don't bother getting the home version of dancing games, mainly because I live in an apartment and my neighbors are hugely sensitive to sound. Or something. :mad:

But ja. A friend of mine has the home version of DDR and that seemed to be a whole lot more fun than the arcade version. Maybe because I'm self-conscious about dancing and being in a basement kind of relieves the pressure to do well.

[ShaunOfShadou]

Well, at home or in the arcades, whatever. I've never been to the arcades, which are a lot stricter accuracy-wise, so those scores would probably differ had I tried those songs on one of the machines.

The home versions also take most of the pressure off, like having to pay for three songs, or having to place 20th on the high score list or something. :P

If you get Stepmania (http://www.stepmania.com), you can play PIU or DDR on your computer, which is also a lot of fun. There aren't a lot of PIU song files available, but Stepmania has a feature that automatically generates PIU steps from DDR steps, so whether you want to play DDR or PIU is up to you.

I kinda suck at DDR. :p

[ShaunOfShadou]

Let's hear your accomplishments anyway.

[Samuraid]

My brothers own DDR for the PSX back home. I've played some of the slower songs on the highest level and done pretty well, but nothing beyond that. I haven't actually played DDR in about a year.

[Markus. D]

im masterfull at ddr, most of it

im the only one in australia who can do oreon 78 on maniac and fast forward.

[Sephex]

I can play pretty good. I can play some hard Heavy songs (I can do a 9 footer once in awhile). I haven't played it in awhile, but I'll probably pick back up on it after I get DDREXTREME for PS2 that was just released.

I frequent a DDR Extreme machine in a local bowling alley where I run into kids go to the same High School I went to. Two of them are really good at the game. Whenever I play against them, I say "It's not fair! I don't have gym class anymore to keep me in constant shape!"

Not a bad choice. Extreme 2 has a really nice song list; a lot of songs from DDR Extreme JP and some from DDR Festival and DDR Party Collection.

yeah pretty much all those songs you just listed, except for Max 300, I havent gotten AA

[Tasura]

My cousin got my addicted to Stepmania, i can play most songs on 2x, some on 4x and still manage an A or AA, though i dont use the pad, i use the arrow keys, so im not geting the true DDR experience.

You can get an AA on PSMO, but not MAX 300? Something's wrong with that picture. :tongue:

I play Stepmania religiously. :) I have AAs on most songs, A's on the faster ones, and no scores on the ones I have thus far deemed impossible (eg. MAX period). I even have some custom songfile mixes in the works, if you'd like to hit me up for some. ;)

[Tasura]

I'll have to do that some time and add to my 3gb of Stepmania songs, plus the other 2gb that if i ever get board will Stepify.

i think you misunderstood, Max 300 is the only ten footer ive gotten an AA on

[ShaunOfShadou]

Oh, yeah, I read that wrong. I wondered why anyone could pull off something as complicated as PSMO and couldn't handle the simple 8th runs in Max 300. :tongue:
