How long did it take you to do heavy?

[Braydz]

Only played DDR twice, and can do most heavy 7-footers on Extreme. I played weekend before last for about an hour, then Saturday for about 20 mins. I ordered a pad and Extreme on Lik-Sang, and decided to give the arcade a go before they arrived. Played Extreme, started off on standard. After half an hour or so, moved onto the easier heavys, got a bit better, then moved onto the slightly harder ones. As for the pad and game, pad arrived last week, game should be due in a couple of days.

EDIT: Been playing guitar for 5 years, and am also quite athletic and co-ordinated. Hope no one thinks I'm bs-ing...

Hmm...in the past i did play some music based games. The ddr thing in the espn track and field, bust a groove etc.

I started passing Max300 within a week or two of playing, and why bs about DDR? It's so easy if you know the basic concept of the game.

Maybe for you -Fallen- but not for everybody. I agree it is easy, but if you look around, many people are greatly challenged by the game. With ITG though, there is always a new challenge.

ITG is awesome, after the first week or so of playing I could pass everything except Pandemonium Expert.

What the shit... It took me a year to get to heavy...

[Tsuteto]

No clue really. After learning to not keep my feet in the center, I started getting better. Overall, I don't really know how long. I was an on and off player.

i remember you saying you C'd EE.. vertex is more retarded than that

Exotic Ethnic is gay, by the way I can FC it now if I feel like it. ( I went out of my way to practice crossovers the proper way)

I can get 90%+ on pretty much every ITG song on HARD and Expert, with few exceptions on the really difficult ones like Euphoria and Pandemonium.

EDIT:

I don't have the greatest timing ever on DDR but I can pass every song on their hardest difficulty so I guess it counts for something? I only have trouble with PSMO and Maxx Unlimited really..

[Braydz]

I wasn't bsing about DDR, just some people think that anyone who can do something better than them are bsing. I imported a metal pad last week, and DDR Extreme should be on its way. Hopefully with a bit of practice, I'll become alright at it.

It took me about...um...1/2 of a year, I've been playing for years, but didn't try till last summer, I got to heavy this past winter, my first song (in arcades) was Hysteria.

??? Passing the song is way different than getting a +90%... And how is this possible if you did not know how to cross-over? That is like in every song on ITG... I sense some hypocritical bs'ing....................................

Where does it say you need to properly do a crossover to hit them?
I wasn't able to do it the proper way, but since I played just double stepping it I got used to it and was able to pull them off just as quick as a regular crossover.

EDIT: I would show some pics of my ITG scores but they are all from the first week I started and they are pretty bad.

[ckj846]

Oh, but if you couldn't crossover, how did you manage to get a 90%+ on nearly all the ITG songs? And even you yourself said that you didn't have great timing, but to get a +90%, you would need excellent timing. +90% is nearly AAA the song, and I don't think you can do it. So, go ahead and post some pics of your ITG scores. And while you are at it, post a video of you getting better than 90% on a song in ITG on expert without crossingover. If not, I believe you are a giant BSer. Stop being such a hypocrite. This thread was about how long it took you to get to heavy, not some bs about your top scores. Stop bragging.
