Fat kid gives in

Re: Fat kid gives in

<< doesn't need to practice, look at him hitting every note on and on. Amazing!

Re: Fat kid gives in

Im not so sure if i agree with that. I started playing DDR at the mall and improved way better on the nice metal pads then on the home version.

Re: Fat kid gives in

I use a chair when I am at home and the bar when at the mall, cuz it helps my balance >:3

Re: Fat kid gives in

I've never played at home.

Re: Fat kid gives in

lol i played pump it up back when that was new before ddr was popular in america lol but man the home version helped so much XD

Re: Fat kid gives in

I played an imported DDR from Japan 5 years ago.

IT WAS AWESOME.

Re: Fat kid gives in

See, this is why there's an arguement over whether using the bar is legit or not.

Personally, I find that it's helpful up to a point, but my PA on songs I'm really good at is better without it...

Re: Fat kid gives in

I tried to play the home version at my band lock-in near the end of the first semester.

I couldn't tell the difference between the pad and the tile.

Re: Fat kid gives in

Umm usually you start out in the arcade. Just because someone is a bit overweight doesn't mean they can't practice and get good at DDR. If they are actually trying and not camping the machine, you shouldn't have any problem with them playing.

The bar is legit. It was put on the machines for a reason. The reason home versions don't come with bars (some people use this as their argument against bars) is because when you buy the home version, they assume you are going to be using the controller, hence the "Get the full expierence buy a dance pad" or something along those lines, which is on the back of the games.

The bar helps me so much, and I use a chair at home. Example of my score difference with/without bar: Happy Angel on 3x - 48 greats without bar, with bar 2 greats.

Re: Fat kid gives in

I have the home version but I hate it. The metal pads at the arcade are so much better and I am way to poor to afford the nice metal pads for home.

As for "bar rapeing" I dont personally it screws me up and the only time I really see ppl doing it is for songs like Chaos challenge. Witch I completely understand.

Re: Fat kid gives in

Practice grammar at school and actually GET GOOD AT IT before you post in the forums, lol.

Why don't you give the "fat" kid a break and quit bashing on him. Whether or not he plays DDR in a public place or not shouldn't be any of your concern. If you think it's disgusting, then walk away and wait until a skinny, pretty kid jumps on and starts playing until you watch. The fact that the fat kid is playing DDR to lose weight or to have fun is respectable. You should try taking a step back out of your one-sided mind and think about why other people do things. Quit being so judgemental. Also, at what point is a person good enough at DDR that you think they should be ALLOWED to play in the arcade? Think about how much time the kid spent getting as good as he is now. I'm sure that when you were first starting, you would be pretty pissed off is somebody better than you started teasing you and told you to go home and get better before you played in public. There's a reason an arcade is public. It's so that any kid, either fat, skinny, white, black, albino even, can go there whenever they please and play DDR however they like. If you have a problem with any of that, take it up with the manager of the arcade and see how they feel about it. Until then, don't come complaining on the interwebz.

Re: Fat kid gives in

I don't use chair or bar or... anything realy. I have enough balance to play without them.

Anyways, that is kinda scary seeing someone like that play DDR. Of course theres nothing wrong with being scary... I think. He could have been doing it to lose wieght. I lost ALOT of wieght dancing on DDR.

Re: Fat kid gives in

Well, I never played it in an arcade because I can't find it in our poor, little town... Yes...

I had no idea you could play DDR in a chair. To make up for my lack of balance, I just flail my arms around... I look funny when I play DDR...

Re: Fat kid gives in

oh yea, excellent grammar there, you're probably a fat ass too trying to defend against all other fattys out there lol
