Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

DDR Supernova on the Playstation 2. Got addicted to the game in a similar way people here got addicted to Guitar Hero, but a year earlier. Looked up tips and tricks on how to improve at that game once I hit that barrier between difficult/expert charts, and the soft ceiling of using a plastic pad, and it lead me to FFR Forums.

I was on kongregate looking for impossible badges to grind. I found a game called 'Super crazy guitar maniac deluxe 2' which is a left-scrolling rhythm game using arrow keys on one hand and ASD keys on the other. that was the first rhythm game i ever played.

Later I saw someone I watch on youtube (yosniper) playing thirdstyle. i thought it looked really fun, so i played on there for a while too. i found out about FFR not long after starting with thirdstyle, but i didnt start playing ffr as my main rhythm game until a while later.

I come from the mobile game "BanG Dream! Girl's Band Party!". I decided to play some browser rhythm games. I found Bemuse Ninja (one I found first) and this game. I liked Bemuse more at first because I didn't like FFR's default key set-up. I watched a video about browser rhythm games, and FFR was in the video. After watching that video, I learned how to changed the key set-up. My current key set-up is DFJK.

I'm from FFR :D stumbled across this site 3.52 years ago after watching random hand-eye coordination videos on Youtube. Never played a rhythm game in my life before this. I remember starting out with 1 hand on the arrow keys thinking how are people so freaking good at this game? Then after a couple weeks I learned about spread technique and was like oh okay now I can actually hold a combo. About 6 months after that I discovered Etterna and that's when the real improvements started and I hope to one day reach D7 on this site :]

Started on DanceOnline probably the best player on DanceOnline, no one beat me I destroyed most of them easily, People where in awe at my skill. I actually spent money on it bought some clothes for my character and players where amazed at my cool character, I was the talk of the town!!!! FULL COMBO RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW LEVEL 15, then it went bust maybe in 2009 can't remember.

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

I didn't really come from a rhythm game. When I was 12, I saw some Youtube videos on some of the best players at the time playing hard songs in DDR. Searching in Google for 'online ddr simulator' gave me results to some online Flash games and FFR. I eventually stuck with FFR because it feels the best out of all other online alternatives.

did u ever play SDO-X? SDO-X Global is still a thing

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

Yes I did, I remember after DanceOnline closed I had a huge void in my life, I missed tapping the keys to the beats of "Low by Flo Rida" and "Fancy Footwork By Chromeo" (which if I recall was my first lvl 15 Full Combo)

I remember having trouble signing up because it was based in Philippines or Malaysia, I also remember being a beta tester on some strange Dance game which went no where, I would love to know the name of it now.

Originally from DDR, played DDR Max2 Arcade Cabinet at my bowling alley and then my parents bought me Extreme for PS2. I eventually went back to purchase Max, Max2, and went on to buy SuperNova and ITG all for PS2, then buying a foam insert pad at home.

Somewhere in this time frame moving from 8th grade into freshman year my friends in the "Asian Club" who had a DDR Day once a month directed me to FFR and Stepmania. And many years later here I am!

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

I think my name gives it away! XD Yeah a DDR player and FFR player around the same time! https://youtu.be/uEu7X6Cv9ws

Good bump, surprised I haven't posted in this yet

My first music game was Percussion Master and hats off to ya if you've ever been able to play that, it's not exactly a common machine. I wish I could find MP3s of that soundtrack I always wanted to step Rock Opera

But the same arcade had a DDR Extreme back when Extreme was still only a year or so old, and it wasn't long before I got over being nervous about my weight and started it. DDR Extreme JP is pretty much what I consider my first proper rhythm game experience down to grinding out songs and humming the tunes outside the arcade and it's the mix I played my first tournament on.

Which is how I found FFR, sort of; someone had Stepmania on their laptop at the tournament and I was like WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING OMG IT HAS ZELDA MUSIC AND SHIT and the dude told me about SM and the site he used to download sims, flashflashrevolution.com

New comers may not know this but the site use to host a metric asston of sims back in the day. You could just use this site as your sole source and never have the time to play them all in your life. You also didn't need an account to snatch 'em, but after a year or so lurking around I decided to make one anyway and I guess I never truly left

I'm from this rhythm game.

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

I'm from this game. Bro heard it from his friend, then introduced it to me.

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

o2jam, started playing it because one of my friends played it. Then I moved to stepmania because I saw clips of stepmaniafreak on youtube and then naturally I heard about FFR and joined.

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

I played DDR originally when I was a kid, but in terms of websites this was my only one. My sister introduced me and my brother in like 2006 when she played the Super Mario Bros Remix song and we got hooked

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

StepMania 3.9, i somehow ended up here through ODI forums

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

started with ddr extreme 2 on the playstation 2, got here by google searching "ddr flash" about a decade ago

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
 

My uncle introduced me to Stepmania around 2008/2009, where i was told to only use one hand, since two were "wrong" (i sometimes did anyways :3).

I could play up to around 6 footers from DDR packs, and i also spammed (and failed) a lot of super hard charts, which i think were actually HSMP charts like counting snow edit.

Forgot about it and tried to play it again in 2012/2013, but i couldn't navigate the main menu because my keyboard didn't have a working arrow keys lol

Found it again in august 2016, and got inspired to play more after watching videos from people like shashakiro, sakstern and staiain

Re: Which Rhythm Game are you from? and how did you get here
