My Dance Dance Revolution Page

Eh, I thought I had a personal page, so why not a page devoted to my DDR endeavours and accomplishments? In the case that any of you visitors are completely lost on this, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is a music game created by the fine people over at Konami Computer Entertainment Japan that tests your stamina, musicality, and reaction speeds. I've played for a little over a year now, and I have to say that I'm completely obsessed by now... As you can probably tell from things like this that I've gotten over the internet:

You're giddy with the ddr lovin' when you play, just be careful not to drown in all the social drama surrounding the game.
Are you overly obsessed with Dance Dance Revolution?

So here it is, my DDR journal and record of progress.

9/18/2004 @22:50 EST Redcomet- Today turned into a PA day at the arcade. AAed only two more songs though... My PA is getting better, but I kept on getting 65000000 and stuff like that. Aed another 9, Dead End with I believe one good... and 80 greats. Got a great combo on Exotic Ethnic, and I can't seem to be able to A Rhythm and Police anymore. I still was not (unfortunately) able to beat Max300 (I did get further than I have ever been) and Christoph and I both failed Sakura during the slowdown part on second stage. That was weird. Also, this is probably known by many, but I discovered the hard way that PSM is really, really fast. Surprisingly, that didn't go too well for me. So, a bland day at the arcade overall. We got to play a lot though as all the regulars were probably at Rick's house.

9/17/2004 @23:11 EST Redcomet- Ah, another day at the arcade awaits tomorrow... I hope to A some more 9 footers and AA some more songs. Of course, since the songs per game has been increased to five and the machine is on failoff, I shall be trying many 10 footers. I hope to beat Max300 tomorrow... again... Wish me luck... That song is just too hard for some reason. I'll probably beat PSM before I beat Max300.

9/4/2004 @21:34 EST Redcomet- Well, I suppose that wasn't too bad of a day at the arcade... AAed 3 (perhaps 4) more songs... Got an A on Irresitiblement, Paranoia Rebirth, and Paranoia KCET Clean Mix. Kinda surprised that I Aed Rebirth. Failed Max 300 though. Couldn't get any of the runs at the beginning and lost the freeze at the middle. Thus, I failed. However, I left with a positive feeling because of my accomplishments today. I managed to learn that insane part in Afronova, got 14 greats on Look to the Sky (True Color Mix), managed to do all of the songs with exception to Paranoia Survivor (Which I beat again) pretty much flat-footed, AND finally beat V (Oni.) easily on Final Stage. But... enough about me.

Saw Stroud today... says that the next tourney is going to be around Halloween. If they decide to hold qualifiers I just might go. I hope I get put in standard though because frankly I still am not good enough for heavy. Also, there was a guy there this afternoon who did freestyle doubles. It was pretty interesting but he got on my nerves a little when he taunted me for being Asian and not being AWESOME at DDR. Stupid stereotypes...

Lastly, Christoph and I have decided (maybe) to form a team. We'll try to think of a witty name. ^^ Christoph, Matt, and I would probably make a pretty good team. I guess we're considered okay now in this area in terms of skill. We'll show team ASS someday!

9/2/2004 @23:02 EST Redcomet- I have officially started this journal. Knowing full well the purpose of this, I will first announce that I am going to go to the local arcade on Saturday and try to pass... for the sixth time, Max 300. Wish me luck. I will also try to AA some more songs. Stupid... 1 miss on stupid Butterfly... grr...

Accomplishments:

Right now, I'd say that I'm a nine foot player who is confident playing pretty much all nine footers and is working on ten footers. I'm also at that stage where I'm trying to learn how to play more efficiently and be more accurate. I pretty much have the basic techniques down (Gallops, Crossovers, Reading, etc.) but I just need to work on stamina, technique, and speed. Also, as you can see, I'm also working on getting more AAs and PA. Overall, my technique is still a little rough, but I'm working on it.

10 Footers that I can pass:

Bag

Sakura

Paranoia Suvivor

AAs (On Heavy Single):

Kind Lady

Burnin' the Floor

Butterfly

Holic

Look to the Sky True Color Mix

Cutie Chaser Morning Mix

Hold on Me

Sexy Planet (Nonstop Megamix)
