@@stetsonvestal4751 that ending for max 300 is EASIER if you turn around instead of jerking back to the neutral position. Thos doubles set you up right for turning around so you should do it.

DDR was already on the way out when this video was shot :( arcades had been dying for years and online gaming was finishing it off. I'll never forget when Guitar Hero got big and people stopped playing DDR. I know other stuff was happening, but it felt like the switch from DDR to GH happened at the exact moment people started spending more time online than they did in real life. People just sat at home playing GH and putting it up on early KZbin. This was around 2008. The recession closed a bunch of arcades and other places that had DDR. Gas was $3.80 a gallon so driving places was expensive. Easier to just sit inside and screw around online.

[@mr.voidout4739]

I was "that guy" 18 freakin years ago now @.@ Song is MAX300, which is infamous among players for being the first "strictly for veterans" song. So much so that it could only be accessed as a bonus song for exceptional play of your final songpick, unless the owner used a machine code to make it always available. Which in the case of casual arcades, was never the case. Oh, and as bonus song it had to be played with the arrows reversing downward, at a faster speed, invisible "arrow catchers", and the arrows vanish right before when you step them. If you missed just a few, it was over. Took me over a year just to pass the unlocked, normal ver with a C. Many a leg cramp those nights! Shoutout to all the DDR players, former and current :)

[@honesteagle98]

Being 42, max 300 is still tough. Though I did play for almost 4 hours straight. My legs were locked up literally a few times

[@RsRj-qd2cg]

Lmao at the laser tag place I used to play most of my DDR at, the owner unlocked everything. All games were free if you bought a laser tag pass. So people would buy passes and not even play laser tag. They'd just take advantage of the unlimited DDR with the bonus tracks unlocked. Initial D, Mortal Kombat 3, and Soul Calibur were also free. Passes were $20 a night, and considering that other arcades could eat through $20 of tokens pretty quick, that was a good deal.

That's how it works. This guy is $600 later. True story.

[@daybreakgray3452]

it took me 7 months of constantly playing to get good at most heavy songs for ddr extreme. i.e. a 12 on the newer machines

[@andrewdunbar7158]

Check this out - true story = freeek event. In about 2001 - 2002 we had a company "fun day" at one of these arcade parks. Since our company rented the whole place for the afternoon everything was free: bumper boats, pinball, the shoot the bad guys games, and..... Dance Dance Revolution. So, I was like 50 years old, married, and had a kid at home so I was just staying "over there' playing this game where I was shooting bad guys. I had been playing it a long time and I was getting pretty good at saving the world when this young Woman I worked with comes up and says "Hey, you think you're good on that, I challenge you to Dance Dance" - apparently she was "The Queen of Dance Dance". I'm like "No that's ok" because she wasn't wearing much and you know, I just wanted to shoot a bunch of bad guys, cop a free lunch, and go home. But, now there's a couple dozen co-workers there taunting me, so I have to go dance dance (we had a little over 150 people there, more on that later). Pardon me if this sounds rude, but the music starts and we start competing and, ya, she's "bouncing" a lot. I'm trying to not look and man this is awkward. I beat her, actually I smoked her on the first challenge and the rest is a blurred memory. The music starts going faster and faster and she bouncin' all over like there's no tomorrow and not just on top, we're going so damn fast every part of her is bouncing. The entire company has gathered around because me, the old guy is totally blowing the Dance Dance Queen away, and I'm thinking all I want is for this to end. Now this s#*t's gotten out of control and she's yelling/taunting me so I HAVE to look at her, forcing myself to focus on her face or the Dance Dance screen thing. I'm freekin' dying inside, man, all I want is the free lunch and then go home and play with my kid and our beagle but nooo, I'm trapped in this crazy Caligula inspired insanity. Now everyone is chanting "MANIAC MANIAC" and I had the focus of Zen monk going between her taunting face and the screen thing because I have to, I mean geeez, she's a super attractive fit young Woman that's not wearing much = her body parts flyin' all over the place = and I was a happily married family guy that did puppets and stuff for the kids at church, ya know? - I mean, is this God or Satan tormenting me, or both, are both God & Satan both laughing it up at my expense???!!! Eventually....EVENTUALLY it all ends with me breaking the park record. Everyone is telling me I'm some kind of Dance Dance God, she's telling me I'm insane, and I'm think "no, I just want to eat and bolt, actually, screw the food, I just want to bolt". I really don't think I could just hop on one of those things and do it again, like I said, it was a freeeek event. - kinda like when the Grandmother picks up the car because the kids stuck under it, or something: I don't know. However, I am now legend in our company!!! ~Andrew

I love how people that are supposed ddr fanatics keep saying stuff like no bar. Most of the people who say it can barely play ddr

[@incongruous4]

Techblaster123 Right. People who say that can't play at a high level and don't understand how useful a bar is. Not using a bar just uses more energy, doesn't make you any better or worse of a player for using it or not.

[@MelonLordMagzy]

some of us only use the bar to keep us centered so we don't fall off or miss the pad, also without the bar our hands look awkward and retarded

[@xpirior9457]

I wish to be like them one day..... I started playing DDR today and its so fun.... But I wanna play it until I'm at least decent... So far I can only do lvl 9 at most (so that's around a bout a beginner level which is 1 above easy) Update: I can now get an A on this song (Max 300)

[@xcenyahthefox4743]

@goggles789 Thx! sadly i havent been able to play much because of covid but ive managed to pass some expert level 15s (max 300 still being my biggest acomplishment)

[@xcenyahthefox4743]

@goggles789 i do have a pad at home but its a cheap plastic one from amazon and its in a cold room with a slanted floor and its a pain to try and play on so i dont use it much

[@xcenyahthefox4743]

@goggles789 Thankyou but i probably wont be able to afford it. Luckily im going to be able to go to the arcade again in a few days so ill be playing then.

as a rhythm game player, i can tell yall its really off-putting to stare and video people when im just trying to play my game. i hope you all asked him before taking videos...

He was good, but he wouldn’t win. I’ve played with some insane players who got perfect or near perfect scores on much much harder songs. There used to be DDR contests, nationwide, even world scores.

[@bommy9857]

[@whodafuhhh8440]

There are still plenty of competitions in the US and international.

[@Mtaalas]

Old-school... These days the people have pushed the difficulty up insanely when compared to those days... it just goes over my head what they can do with those with difficulty of 17 "blocks"... it's just crazy. (DDR stopped at 10 blocks and some of the songs were artificially made difficult by using weird shapes and double stepping. Style and the amount of steps in a 17 block song is just insane in comparison)

[@Cirnology]

i mean.... psmo is a 16 footer now so it really isnt crazy

[@makusuwerusan7390]

That song always leaves me exhausted. Max 300 Expert for sure. Awesome

[@Vospi]

Mere MAX300 Heavy with a lot of elbow working, not even a fullcombo. This is an entry level 10-footer song, and posting it with this attitude is like posting someone riding a rail on a skateboard. Yes, it's nearly impossible for a newcomer, but isn't considered -anywhere like- a high skillset. Nice guy though.

[@StayHotSH]

Now, its 15 Footer XD

[@Vospi]

Oooh, scary! :)

[@atehortuajf]

[@Armin-xw8pg]

A lot can be said about most step charts man. Its just because the game is so old and we have been playing so long I remember when Fascination And Chaos Were super hard songs on Supernova now most skilled players can pass it like cake. Same can be said for Hards like Pluto and Paranoia Hades or Trim and NGO. Not everyone is a skilled gangster at DDR man and that machine hes using is an Extreme Machine so you only have so meny 10 Footers to play on considering its one of the older models. The video was also uploaded 6 years ago i am sure more people cared about DDR then

[@BedrockSolid]
