Old DDR Memories - Page 4

Elixxme · 08-31-2009, 11:45 AM

I remember when i started playing when all the local school people ( which i was one of ) all took turns at laughing at you for playing a silly dance game. this was back when we had dancing stage ( DDR 1.5) a glorious 12 songs and BS codes to unlock maniac what has now become heavy. I enjoyed getting picked on because of it as i would just say. " hey wanna challenge me," this solved any further bullying as a result.

On the same page I finished high school that year and never looked back. all my friends now stem from the bemani community and not the jerks and tools I went to school with. I always admired how DDR has brought fellow gamers closer.

I started playing DDR at our local Boys and Girls Club. I've been playing for three years now and I'm a Challenged player. I always get grades of AAA and full combos sometimes. I'm up for challenges.

I have tons of great memories from tournaments and stuff. But one of my favorite old-school memories was when I got "too good" to keep playing on the default Konami soft pads, so I cut out a plywood base, put some cardboard on top of it to act as a thin cushion, then stapled my softpad on top of that Duct-tape the edges and viola! My first hard pad. Those things worked out so well it was ridiculous.

Wouldn't a harder pad hurt your feet? D:

If that were true nobody would play arcade ddr and it would have died off a long time ago.

Dude, I knew a guy who used to do that. IIRC he would also take off his shirt and swing it in the air.

Nah, I wore socks. I put the cardboard in-between the plywood base and the soft pad. It doesn't sound like much, but that thin layer of cardboard really helps out with the feet.

i got into it while watching someone play Tsugaru Heavy and so i tried playing light mode and did suprisingly well. i then bought my own copy of DDR Max 2 and a foam mat for my PS2 and 4 1/2 years later, here i am. i was 11 when i started playing. now im 15, and i mostly do AC only, except for now i have my blueshark and some other ASCs. more of a fan to ITG just because the machines seem to be more babied and for custom songs. too bad i started playing ITG for the first time in november 2006, one month after they were sued.

playing DDR got me into other bemanis, but i didnt start playing other bemani till last febuary. i was totally oblivious that DMGF, IIDX, and Popn had anything to do with DDR until febuary when i bought a DJDAO

basically i started playing right before DDR started to suck. 8th mix is the last AC mix that will ever be good.

How does buying a dj dao controller make you realize the connection between ddr and other bemani games?

You've obviously never played SuperNOVA2.

In my honest opinion, I can't choose which is better out of Extreme, Supernova, and Supernova 2. If I start playing one, I'll play it for weeks and will be addicted to it without switching to the next.

I remember the first time I played DDR. I was at my uncle's house. Since we played 3 hours of Karaoke Revolution [[ 1, 2, & 3]] We got bored and my uncle introduced me and my mom to DDR. I was 9...10 about that time. Even though I failed the first couple of stages. I wanted the game for myself so I got DDR Extreme [[ USA Version ]] and a cheap Mad Catz soft pad. And I remember playing it very day during the summer and every day when I got back home from school.

Then I got Supernova and stop playing for a year. ]: And then started back up when it was the end of 6th Grade. My memories aren't that interesting. XD
