Hey guys, I found this channel recently and I couldn't believe my eyes, it's really cool you are creating this content. I've been a DDR and ITG lover for 20 years.

[@michaelseleski1]

Thanks for making this episode! Im a former DDR MEGAMIX (not even extreme lmao) player from a small town in Canada. I used to play a lot and at the time I was starting to AAA songs. Now, having moved to Toronto Im thinking about playing DDR A20 and getting back into it.

[@xdank710]

can't wait to see the scores you're gonna put out!

[@brudbrud9137]

Do it we just got a second white cab

[@KimchiDaily]

A 'good' rating will continue your combo, freaking awesome!!! Thanks for making this video for us old players wanting to get into the new machines!

[@Alenasup]

I wish they would release DDR for Nintendo switch. I haven't seen a console version in so long

[@molluskshatesalt9839]

I've recently wanted to get into DDR! thank you so much for this video, I've recently subscribed and I was surprised when this video was uploaded! I wanted to start from episode one (and I plan to) but this episode really caught my eye and I was too excited!! Again, thanks guys! Best hour of my life :)

[@br4ndyaw4l]

glad to see ddr blowing up again... including me whos a new ddr player!

[@justsomeguy1998]

My respects for these show. Wish I could take ur advice but I live in mexico, and here DDR is harder to play

[@xdank710]

play pump!!! seriously, that's a good game too with a lot of good content, and the advice about bringing the right equipment and choosing good shoes still applies

[@justsomeguy1998]

@@xdank710 thxs, I do play pump, just not as much ad DDR

[@xdank710]

​@@justsomeguy1998 hope you can get more 4-panel access someday

[@dylanjastle]

I played on a gold cab for the first time today and liked it a lot. They used smaller and lower profile machine screws to hold the corner brackets in. All the button panels were responsive. Why don’t ppl like gold cabs?

[@devinc]

Absolutely love this show. Keep it up!

[@blastoiseddr]

I'm really enjoying watching the title screens of the ddr extreme, been so long since I've seen it.

[@BlattGaming]

I've been playing on and off since Last year after a 10 year hiatus. Been lingering in the 12-14 territory mainly due the fact I mostly play at home on my foam pad. The closest DDR A cabinet is over 2 and a half hours from where I live, since all the DnB's and even the Round1 doesn't have the cabinet.

[@tylerscottward1346]

This is great! Keep up the good work guys!

[@mikasaackermann8736]

The intro song is absolute banger material, looking forward to this ep!!!!

[@tylerrobb]

Such a useful episode, thank you!

[@TeamRAR]

33:40 We have the opposite mentality in Michigan. Anyone can play alone if they want, whether it's on single or double. We also have a lot of doubles players here so it doesn't make that much of a difference anyway.

[@marqqqddr]

Hope everyone is doing well. I wish this podcast was still going.

[@djMaki]

also Brosoni / 04MA actually wears Croc branded shoes , not Vans . they are kind of like generic shoes , he said he likes them because they have a lot of feel and they are fully flat .

[@unknowndeoxys00]

I appreciate this and wish I found this much sooner in 2019. I was just getting to being at my R1 regularly, then lockdown happened. The only thing I couldn't tackle was the social aspect. I played by myself, mostly to build my confidence in public and in getting used to the game again. Felt shy about approaching the few other players. Now I'm part of a local discord, but obvs we haven't played together before. Whether by myself or with people, I just miss playing at the arcades.

[@fabsab4434]

I want to send this to my friends that I spam talk DDR at and few friends that I have forced to play with me a few times and even got an eamuse card but I also feel spamming DDR down their throats

[@khiryislive]

Set of the week!!!!!!!!!

[@lolno4854]

Great resource.

[@dragonexpert8323]

I primarily play Pump it Up and I am trying to figure out where I should start with difficulty wise on DDR. I can do 15s and 16s fairly consistent in PIU and then a few outliers that are more difficult.

[@tullebukk6522]

Hi there. Great tips! However, I'm still not sure about how I should approach bowel movements. Certainly if you're full it reinforces your center of gravity, but on the other you might not be as agile. I'm guessing it depends on other factors such as bar on bar, difficulty level and such, and of course it would perhaps be difficult to plan in detail given different foods digest at different paces plus individual difference, but in general, what do you think is the ideal time to take care of buisiness?

[@rogerclarkonline]

tulle bukk with energy drinks involved, it's gonna be unpredictable anyway

[@nguboi25]

Is there a list of the DnBs that are getting DDR anywhere? Was not able to locate one

[@Akshuls]

Any DnB with a Pump DX cabinet.

[@mikasaackermann8736]

Also dalton can get it

[@maxxx6970]

Is there a list of what cities are getting it yet?

[@apextoejam2257]

HOLY SHIT THERE'S A TGM CAB IN THE BACKGROUND

[@admstyles]

Wow you guys sure do talk about DDR a lot

[@mkyo6787]

CHON!!!!

[@soba3853]

where is this list of new ddr locations?

[@LeroyTyler]

Check the DDR/ITG players FB page. Mark Hanson went in depth with it

[@soba3853]

@Leroy Tyler thanks brother, was able to find it. Would suggest people do join the group, but if you’re unable to here’s a screenshot of the locations. Quick summary, these stores are replacing old PIU DX cabs. Stores with both DX & DDR cabs will not receive an additional ddr cabinet. imgur.com/a/fW6shOB

[@DDRsensation]

I think they got rid of the gems rollover between sets.

[@Rundaltonrun]

Just played last night and it still was there for me.

All the at home mats basically out of stock too :(
