Introduction Thread

[~Flanky~]

Hey, my name is Joey. I’ve lurked here a bit and finally feel like posting something, so I guess I’ll introduce myself.

I got into rhythm games through DDR (I’m so unique, huh?). A friend of mine owned 3rd mix and it was a ton of fun, so my brother decided to get a Japanese PSX and 4th mix, which had just come out. I never got too serious until recently, though; I played on a soft pad and on the occasional arcade with my friend Comet until MAX 2 came out, then I started to lose interest. I now am getting back into it as a fun way to do cardio, and have also gotten more serious about improving my scores. I also play Technika as of late, and dabble in DJMP, if only to learn Technika songs.

I go to UCLA, so if anyone else goes there and sees me in the arcade playing Technika say hi; I’m 6’3’’ and have long-ish blond hair. I hope to be spending my zero week there, should funds allow it .

Hey Bemanistyle!

The name is Greg (Gweb). I'm currently living in Japan (Nagoya) for a year (study abroad) and looking to get back into Bemani games.

Back in the day (5+ years ago) I was pretty serious about DDR, but once my job at the arcade ended, so did my active DDR lifestyle.

A couple of years ago (maybe 2) I picked up the USA Beatmania game for the PS2 (if only to get the controller) and I've been playing casually ever since (but I'm looking to change that).

Now that I'm living in Japan I've had plenty of chances to go to the local arcades. Of course when I got there I found TONS of games...almost too many to play. I've narrowed down my area of potential expertise to a couple of games:

1) Jubeat Ripples
2) Beatmania IIDX
3) DDR (maybe, whenever I decide to stop smoking and work out again).
4) Street Fighter 4

I hope to get my knowledge up in all things Bemani and make some friends.

Nice to meet you!

Yo, yo! What's poppin' Bemanistyle? :P

My handle is Saturn but my name is Jarrod Joestar. 21 years old, currently living in SoCal. I've been playing DDR and IIDX for years and years and years but didn't really decide to come here until recently, used to go to DDRFreak but that place sucks and is dead... but this place is very active!

I play a lot of IIDX and DDR. As far as DDR goes, I'm only into Freestyle and sometimes very very casual PA, no real interest in AAAing things and mastering the game. I also play Pop'n and Para Para occasionally.

Besides music games I play fighters a lot. SF4, Third Strike and Mahvel mostly these days. Other than that, I like to dance, make music/DJ events when I can (still a rookie) and create art.

Usually I like to play anywhere I can in Socal so any bemani heads in the area don't be shy to hit me up, all my old bemani friends are "retired" haha so i'm looking for more, especially people down to freestyle :P

What's up, Bemanistyle?
I'm Peter from Appleton, WI. I used to be pretty hardcore for DDR and other games and I've been wanting to get back into rhythm games (DDR mostly) recently... but my really old Playstation 2 kicked the bucket and my copy of DDR MAX 2 was stolen. So basically I'm stuck with the DDR at my local arcade until I buy a new Playstation and a new copy of DDR.
It's nice to meet you all and I hope to make some good use of these forums.
