ParaParaParadise Thread

shungokusatsu · 06-19-2006, 09:41 PM

I'm creating this topic because it wasn't created here in Bemanistyle 7.0 and because I'm a ParaParaParadise player and wondering if anyone still plays ParaParaParadise. Well at least I know my brother plays ParaParaParadise though. Are there people who are still fans of ParaParaParadise?

Just call it PPP, dude.

I used to play it PPP 1st Mix PLUS, Velfarre2000, Yesterday, Bandolero Comanchero, and Station to Station being my favorites, Freestyle/Expert mode. well, one day they replaced the PPP machine with a Pump It Up one, much to our dismay, but I grew to like it.

Rest is history.

I am a fan of parapara dancing. Black U.F.O. and Russian Girl ftw

I have the PS2 version but the controller kind of sucks, so I don't play it all that often. It's ridiculously easy, anyways.

When I first played this game I thought it was amazing, although I kind of got bored with it since no new mixes. I briefly tried to memorize the routines but gave up.

The game is still mad popular in some parts though. I know that at least Singapore has a dedicated PPP crowd that can do the routines to any song in the game, some of those people truly amaze me...

It's sad how there is no new PPP mixes, I was looking forward to the Eurobeat/Super Eurobeat songs in IIDX to be in PPP, such as Daisuke, Car of Your Dreams, or Red Zone. Those songs would have been easy to put in PPP though because PPP already uses Y&Co. songs as well as Naoki's songs and avex trax licences for the Super Eurobeat.
Oh well. I'll still enjoy the old mixes though.

I've only been able to play whenever a machine's been at a con somewhere, like ACen. When I first saw the PPP machine, I was all about freestyle, but I started to prefer the ParaPara mode once I started learning routines. Speedway is good stuff, as is Night of Fire. And Sexy Sexy Sexy and Easy Busy are the ultimate "make someone look like a goof" songs. XD

Yup Javier, nice to meet u here. I am a big fan of parapara dancing too. Chocolate, No Control, Domino, etc

So many new songs.

@Kenshiro: You're forgetting O Sole Mio.

Kenshiro · 06-22-2006, 09:47 AM

Ohh yes, the stinky trash move! How could I forget that?

I think we officially have an embarrassment trifecta going here. Start with O Sole Mio with its stinky trash move, follow up with Sexy Sexy Sexy and its 360 degree rotation move, and finish off with Easy Busy and its...uhh...running in place with your arms out. Guaranteed to draw a crowd, whether you want it to or not.

(Disclaimer: I really do like each of those songs. But I do feel like a goof when I play them.)

ParaPara is kinda cool I guess, but the scene is now full of fat white girls / gay guys who think they are superior to everybody else because they know the Paras to like a gazillion songs and moved onto tech para and all that jazz.

Just give me some good old classics like Final Countdown, Gamble Rumble, Express Love, Crazy Generation . . .eh whatever I guess.

Jayveemon · 06-22-2006, 01:25 PM

Techpara is horrid; most of the songs are really really bad and the routines are just plain boring. At least trapara has good music but the routines tend to be easy.

Yes, I learned playing PPP in my 18th b-day and got hooked into it. Yes, I miss playing Night of Fire. Now, I'm just basically planning my trip to AI just for the sake of playing PPP.

pyreth · 06-22-2006, 06:37 PM

I've played PPP. Loved it. Used to go for the other step (can we still call them steps?) of Speedway. Played all the songs. Loved them. Too bad they replaced it with a PIU machine also.... Ah well...trying to get the home version.... Won't let the PPP flame die in me (have Speedway on my MP3)

shungokusatsu · 06-22-2006, 10:06 PM

It would be kind of funny if I saw a person trying to clear a hard song that they can't clear, by doing a constant swimming motion, hoping to get all the arrows. My friend had tried it once and he told me about it, and I wish I saw that. It's not like I can do better though.
