So...Why does everyone hate the Dancers?

[Irob]

Look the obvious answer is because if he didn't, somebody else will.

Just stop making yourself an obvious target by getting rid of all your strange fetishes like addictions to animated low-polygon background dancers on a video game and you should be safe.

Or don't mention them but then you'd still be a loser in the eyes of God so your pick.

Hmmm..it's funny how likeing to use characters is such a big offense yet people can make topics all day long about song banners and that's apparently okay.

Again, just because I like to use the characters does not mean it's a strange fetish. By the look of your avatar pic and signature, I could easily say you have a strange fetish to nazi prinnies.

You're looking for dependable rules here at Bemanistyle but that is never an excuse for social unintelligence.

Believe me it's better than the alternative. If we just let people act like dorks we'll wind up with a lot more online fights than you realize. Believe me I've seen it happen.

Giving my opinion is socially unintelligent? Eh, I'm just going to ignore any rude staff members from now on so I really do not care about what you say.

General rule: if you're bitching about how the pretty fucking pictures in your arrow-stomping game are too low-res/OMG TRANSLATED KANJI/don't have enough backstory, then you're not playing the game, you're a backseat interior designer in moron's clothing.

I'm not staff! Allow me to point out why you're such a goddamn joke to the rest of us: you're fighting a useless fight over one of the most trivial fucking things to ever be argued on this board, and I've seen goddamn BLOOD FEUDS begin over fucking noteskins. Your characters will not fuck you through that HDTV, no matter WHAT cables you stick on the fucking Xbox, and all the graphical upgrades in the world can't make Charmy look any better than a tumor squeezed into a fetish suit with fucking plastic hair-wings glued on.

Catching the hint?

When did I ever say I wanted sexual relations with characters? I didnt even start this fight to begin with. The characters aren't the only thing I talk about..it's just ZOMG THATS WHAT THE TOPIC IS ABOUT NOW ISNT IT?! LAWL! The only hint I'm catching is how much of a little twat you are.

When your opinion reeks of "I can't get my head out of my pants": Yes. Yes, it is.

You know, I bet if you admit that you looked at characters from an aesthetic perspective rather than a sexual perspective and admitted that they are indeed aesthetically ugly and distracting, you wouldn't be getting all this flak.

OnTopic: I hate the dancers because I feel they are aesthetically horrible - they don't match the music which they poorly dance to, they're distracting, atrocious to the eye, and also because they further the generalization that DDR players are socially-inept virgin losers.

I've said more than once that I do not like the characters in sexual manner. The real reason I do like the characters is due to the fact that this will be the closest thing I can get to another Bust A Groove game ever since Square teamed with Enix. If you don't know what Bust A Groove is, It's a one on one dance competition game that does rely on its' characters that must be used to even play the game. I got into DDR thinking it was something like Bust A Groove when I happened to one day see all the DDR characters displayed all over the front of a video game magazine. So yeah, I bought one of the first mixes on a whim and sure..they dont play a very important role like Bust A Groove's characters did but they also weren't annoying enough to turn off completely.

Man, every other post in the past few pages is posted by you. Don't you have anything else to do other than vulture the thread?

To be on topic, I don't really give much of a damn about the characters. Hardly distracting, even though they still look aesthetically displeasing, I just ignore them easily. On SN, I usually just pick Afro , since it's a dude with an afro.

[papersak]

Thank you for being on topic. And thank you for ignoring the characters if you don't like 'em. And Afro is cool.

I don't get it. Other people obsess over hentai on this forum and no one cares. Someone thinks a character's cute and people think he has no life. And that's as short as I can make my point.

... I love Rage. <3 So do my friends IRL.

*Note: For those who actually thought I was serious, I'm not really in love with Rage. I just think he's a cool looking character. In no way do I want to make love to him or anything. The same applies to my friends and basically anyone else who claims they like a game or anime character.

Rofl. If that's what you need to say to prove your not in love with a cartoon character because you said you love them I don't really see why people want to post in this thread. If I said I love Road Runner does that make you think I want to make love to him/it? It's pretty sad if you answer yes...

[Daniel]

Yes PrinceLandon some people discuss banners and noteskins and an online debate doesn't break out like this one. But for whatever reason a fight has broken out here. It's not really fair that you weren't prepared. But you'll just have to swallow your pride and step out. You can't win when most of the board thinks your living in your own little world.

On topic: So you like DDR dancers because of similarities to Bust A Groove? You think that novelty would have worn out for you by now. But for some reason you just can't seam to get enough of Charmy.

[Shigekix]

If it were up to some of you, we would have either:
a) a black screen behind
or
b) HOT EMI ON JENNY ACTION

I don't really care what's behind the arrows, because I'm focusing on the arrows, not the background.

[MUSCLES]

Shit people it's a freaking game.
OMES?

pre-SN Rage was cool.

F***ING THANK YOU.

So I actually like the dancers, it's a giant inside joke that comes with years of trolling the local arcade and causing problems for everyone by dancing around like a freaking idiot on the DDR machine and Karaoke to BE IN MY PARADISE. Oh, and by the way:

BALDO FTW


And SERIOUSLY, I'm getting tired of you all flaming PrinceLandon. It's obvious he just likes the characters, PERIOD. Shit you kids, calm down.

[Blackraven]

I agree with the poster above.

No need for hostilities if he wants to express his opinion. Let's all keep cool



On topic though:

Emi is already a perfect choice for character selection in SN but for the upcoming SN 2, it may be good if they continue with the character route but this time I hope that Konami would put Alice in it.

And probably Johnny as well.

Bringing those two would be enough for me in terms of character additions.

First I would like to make my apology quickly. Basically what happened, I simply said I like Charmy and got flammed. Of course I got angry but I could have handled the situation better. For that, I'm sorry for all bemanistyle members who had to see my constant ranting. I would love nothing more than to move on from this fighting.

On Topic:: Well when I played DDR for the first time, I realized there was more to DDR than just it's characters. That's why I've stayed with the series for around 7 years. Charmy is only my favorite DDR character but not favorite video game character in general (that would be Chun-Li from Street Fighter). I have the whole Charmy icon/signature pics to better fit the whole "Bemani" theme.

All this love for Baldo, Rage and Afro, is there no love for my 5th Mix fave Spike? :-(
