What a pansy, playing slower songs... He should have just played PSM oni over and over. THEN it would be a record

No way. You can't play all pansy songs to be listed in Guiness. I've looked into this and according to the official rules you can not repeat a song/difficulty until you have played every single song/difficulty combination in the game. Meaning once you play Daikenkai Standard you can't play it again until you've played every single song/difficulty combo in the game. Furthermore, you have to maintain some sort of performance for a majority of the songs, meaning you have to sort of "freestyle" during every song - even on heavy. The break thing is right on - no more than 30 sec. between songs and a 15-minute break every eight hours and if you fail, you start over. It's totally cool this was done as a fundraiser, but I doubt one could play for nearly a day without having to attempt a harder song. At near 150 songs in EX at about 1:30 each in duration, that's 225 minutes (almost 4 hours) per difficulty gametime (not including menu selection, game setup, etc.), so in an entire day, the two should have gone through each difficulty almost twice. My point is when going for the record you can't stick to slow, easy songs - shit, I could play for about 3 days, maybe more, like that. I'd like to know exactly what record was broke as it can't be the official Guiness record. Like the article says it will stand as an unofficial record - still commendable and I love the fact this raised money, very cool, but the article makes it seem like he won an Olympic medal in DDR.

anyways I am really good friends with the kid that completed it. He was planning for 40-48 straight hours, but only got to 37 and a half. He was definitely tired through the whole thing, especially since he never had ANY caffiene through the whole record. And about 17 hours i think it was into the record, they tried Sakura heavy, and Chris failed, leaving Drew to do the record himself. This meant free DDR for everyone there on one side of the machine managed to get probably 35-40 free stages in, which was really nice. When our arcade gets a IIDX machine, him and I just might hafta set the same kinda record for IIDX

wait, exactly what mode was it on there?
did you fail if you missed a step, or just keep playing until you fail a song normally? couldn't you just pick the 6-8 foot heavy songs or... light songs all day that way? |

This cant be a world record, or at least recent, because last year (i think it was) some people came and played for 68 hours (i think, it might have been 63) straight, following the above rules, so this might be an old news item.. if ya want, i can tell ya where it happened, and everything
