DDR World Record Attempt - 40 hours, 2 pads

DahrkDaiz · 11-13-2012, 10:33 AM

Hello everyone! I just wanted to spread the word on my DDR world record attempt I will be performing on 11/23/2012 5am (EST) to 11/24/2012 9pm (EST). Last year I attempted to set the world record to 40 hours. Guinness found fault in my evidence that I provided (not enough information regarding the witness statement, bad camera angle in one of the videos, time lapse photos had issues). I decided to attempt this record a 2nd time, this time on doubles play.

The basic rules are: I have to star ton the easiest difficulty level and move up one ever 5 hours. I am given a 5 minute break for every full hour completed that I can bank to use at a later time. If I fail a song, the attempt is over.

I will not be using the bar and I will be playing on DanceDanceRevoltuon X2. A live stream will be running to show the event @ http://www.twitch.tv/ddrworldrecord The attempt will also be a charity drive to raise money for a local charity, Knoxville Area Rescue Ministries (KARM).

Cool! Good luck with it, sounds like it's going to take a lot of preparation to do.

Best of luck but isn't the failing one song thing kinda harsh?

That's their rules. I plan to stick to 8s to 12s for most of the attempt. Taking from what I learned last year, one of the biggest hurdles is doing the same thing for 40 hours and over night. Red bull will be heavily utilized.

The physical endurance for this, though, will be immense. When I did this last year, I was pretty much heel toeing the pad. This year I don't have that luxury. Lasting 24 hours? sure. 32? that's pushing it. 40? We'll see about that...

I'm curious what they define by difficulty here. Feet? Light/standard/heavy? And do you have to play songs from a specific group (e.g. official DDR charts) or can you choose anything?

Daym good luck

The difficulty refers to Basic (Light)-> Difficult (Standard) -> Expert (Heavy) and Challenge if it applicable. Once I reach the 20th hour, all charts have to be played at their highest available difficulty. No Challenge? Just play Expert.

Since this is on an X2, I have to play just the regular charts. No edits allowed.

seems like a cool idea, record as much as you can and have fun.

**dragonmegaXX** · 11-13-2012, 06:24 PM

Have fun

**popsicle_3000** · 11-14-2012, 02:19 AM

holy crap, 40hrs... and people say 24hrs of FFR for vrofl is tough

**Ghakimx** · 11-17-2012, 03:48 AM

Damn, dawg, i wouldn't even last 5 minutes.

Good luck with that shit, yo. We be vouching for you online!

DahrkDaiz · 11-19-2012, 10:50 AM

Here's how I plan on ending my attempt, I will play the song list starting at the 40th hour and keep going until I'm utterly drained.

40th hour - Paranoia ~Respect~
Paranoia
Paranoia MAX
Paranoia KCET
Paranoia Rebirth
Paranoia Eternal
Paranoia Survivor
Max 300
MaxX Unlimited
The Legend of Max

- if I'm still going at this point, I want to be shot.

I hope you win forever always.

**lumphoboextreme** · 11-22-2012, 10:38 AM

Good luck, I couldn't even complete 24 hours of FFR, 40 hours of DDR LOL that dedication

**rayword45** · 11-22-2012, 10:42 AM

I remember last year on ZiV, everyone was bitching about how stupid Guinness was about their rules.

Are you going to have a lot of witnesses or an official judge and such?

**dragon890x** · 11-22-2012, 10:55 AM

Wow, this is awesome! I'll check your stream out for sure.

Good luck!

DahrkDaiz · 11-23-2012, 01:59 AM

As for witnesses: I can't get hardly anybody to come out. It was like pulling teeth last year and this year... there's no more teeth... And I can't blame them. It was boring for me to play the game for a good chunk of the time, much less watch me play. But I will have the employees that are working that area to sign attestations since they gain nothing from the outcome of the record and pretty much have nothing else to do but to watch me. The problem Guinness had was not retaining enough information on the witnesses, not necessarily enough witnesses.

As for getting a judge out... let's just say my Honda Civic cost less than a Guinness judge. Rather than round up $8k, I could give that money directly to KARM.

And I post this an hour or so before I leave. I'll have the stream's chat going on my phone so I can view what people say. Thanks for all the support guys! I hope I do the doubles players proud
