[winkle]

wait. there's a 5th mix at crossgates now!?

*runs to the mall*

You guys are so lucky. 5 DDR Machines. I've only played on Extreme twice. That's it for my arcade life. Basically everything I've done has been at home. I have a metal pad, but the real arcade experience is unbeatable. I've only seen Extreme around here, although I think someone has mentioned a DDR Max machine being somewhere. You guys are real lucky to get so many machines in one place.

<<<<<< Never played DDR in the arcade. There are some malls around here that have some. I think Mall of America has a few, but I just play at home on my XB.

I live about an hour away from the closest machine, and everytime I go to play it, it's closed. I have played the arcade version quite a few times thouhg, but I'm mainly stuck with the home version. I'm not complaining though. I would have spent about $9000 thus far trying to get up to 9 footers in this past year

we got 6 machines at are mall
we youst to have only 2 but the owner woke up realising that that was the only game that people were playin
i hate usin the mall ones tho becuase they are really big and i am short plus ther is a little indent to get to arrows hurts my ankles

I have never played ddr in the arcade either I was one of the people who looked at it and said... thats retarded! I would laugh at people that were playing on it. Then one day I saw this guy at Gameworks in Seattle and he was like smokin on it. My wife was riding that big ride that goes to the ceiling so I watched while he was getting AA's on 9 footers. Well so I just play at home till i get good enough to go to the arcade and show off.

[Devers]

awww man i LOVE the arcade DDRs. They are sooooooo cool. I want one for my house but they cost like 4000 dollars on ebay + 300 dollar shipping.

[quadrollersk8r]

How about those smug guys who work in the arcade? My daughter was doing great, 8 footer, when one of the guys who works there started up the machine next to her and put on an eight footer of his own. But, he never looked at the screen, carried on a conversation with the guy next to him, and still got an AA..... just hate those guys.

Yup I bust my butt Big time. Hit my head infront of a lot of people.. Some laughed but then when I got up and go tback on .. They Clapped.. I was one of those people who thought, " there is no way I can do that". Now I can... I hear ya'll laughing..

[quadrollersk8r]

Well, i am one of those people who if they got up there, I would make people not only laugh, some would cry! I am horrible!

We were all that bad once. Can't learn to walk until you learn to crawl.... So you can't play on Maniac when you're a noob =D

[quadrollersk8r]

Oh, I CAN play maniac, and look like one too.. just can't guarantee a bunch of perfects or greats on it!

how many people in here can do Heavy (maniac)?? It seems like there's not much ppl in here that can. Come on now, I got to heavy in like 3 months. DDR just comes so easy to me.

Right now, all i'm working on in MaxX Unlimited, Sakura, and Paranoia Survivor. I could get a B on all of them except MaxX Unlimited.

[Oldhaus]

I can do heavy on most songs, and get a A, B, or C depending on the song, im working on getting A on maxx 300 and maxx unlimited, and in time legend of the max o.0

[psmo290]

cool, i already got an A on max 300, I'm not worrying on MaxX unlimited too much, I'm working on getting a AA on sakura right now

But it doesn't come easy to a lot of us. After about four months now I can play some Heavy/Maniac songs, but I'm mostly focusing on Light and some Medium songs. If I try to do too many high-intensity songs at once, I just burn myself out, and although I'd really like to play more high-level songs, I'd prefer to stick with low-level songs, getting my accuracy better and keeping my heart rate at a target level for weight loss.
