DDR, a sport?

Re: DDR, a sport?

If DDR becomes a sport, what about ITG? Would DDR be like the minor leagues?

EDIT: And how about statistics like they do in all the regular sports. Like DP% and EGA (earned great average).

Some people just don't realize. DDR was originally in Japan. It will never become a sport because 80% of america doesn't even know what Japan is much less knowing what DDR is. 10% of the rest knows at least a little bit about Japan, 7% likes the recreation like anime, DDR and other stuff, 2.99% is like Japanesses Americans without having a Japanesse ancestory, and the last .01% is that one individual in America that is like, he is Japan in America.

Long story short, people are more into rap and more american culture than Japanesse.

DDR won't become a sport in America until competitve video gaming becomes a sport.

DDR was originally made in Korea and bought by Konami in Japan. Im pretty sure that the Korean company was Bemani. and thats why you see it in the games. or im just way off and i pwned myself... lol

Re: DDR, a sport?

I heard somewhere that it already is a sport in some Scandanavian country.

Is this correct?

Well it's getting really popular here, but I don't know if it's really called sport here. Most people call it "machine dance" instead.

Bemani sounds Japanesse, but you may be correct. Anyway, I believe that what I said about americans is true, but Japan itself is better than Korea. Speaking of Korea, did you hear about the missle systems they finished. If they attack us, we lost already.

Re: DDR, a sport?

Re: DDR, a sport?

k then fine Bemani bought it i know for sure it came from Korea Moogy, find more research.

Re: DDR, a sport?

No. It's not Korean. It's Japanese. You make up some completely absurd statement about Konami "buying it from Korea" and then tell ME to do more research? Unbelievable. I'd like to see something - ANYTHING that claims that DDR was originally from Korea.

Hint: There isn't anything. Because it's not.

Re: DDR, a sport?

im pretty sure this is right because this was a sport in korea before DDR was made.
