Embarassing DDR Moment

RE: Fell off the machine as well

Yeah..nothing really embarrising, cept I was doing Love Shine on light mode trying to free style and this cute guy looked up and Ilooked over at him to smile, slipped on a turn I was doing and fell over, smaking my head on the side of the machine.
Also once I was challenging someone and I accidently pushed them off their pad XD

Re: Fell off the machine as well

Yeah once I was at a lock-in at this arcade place from 12 am to 5 am and needless to say I stayed at the DDR machine (extreme). I was having fun since it was unlimited play and I was doing double mode when the fatigue got to me and I slipped and fell off the machine. I was so tired I stayed on the ground and didn't really care. But I eventually got up and played more.

I've had similar things happen. Don't you love when you're SO in shape?

OMG!!! That happen to me too!!! Well...another thing that happen to me was when I was in the arcade, I was playing DDR and no one was around so I was lucky... My arcade that I go to is real crowded most of the time so.... I was playing double on heavy and then i slipped, fell, and cramped my ankle..I couldnt get up....it was painful.. then, these guys walked in and started to laugh at me.. I was on the floor in pain and they didn't even care!!! They started to play my game!!! UGH!!!!! I was so mad!!! I managed to get up and I went to a chair...I had put 4 credits in the machine so they were going to get 12 free games!!! I could'nt stand it!!!! I got up and told them off....in pain....I really hated that day but when I told the manager, he refunded my money and told me the teh next time I came, I would get a free game! I was in happy pain!! Well, thats my story with a painful/happy ending! ;;;;

Just because you fall or screw up doesn't mean you should quit. Never give up, and someday you will be the guy that is up there owning. I started from the very bottom and now I do The Legend of Max on heavy, only missing maybe three or four at the end. If you are having trouble with balance, then do what I did. I practice balancing on each foot, then on my hands, then on my head, and then on my left hand and left foot (and vice versa). This way I become increasingly more subconsciously aware of my center of gravity, and I can utilize that to my advantage by positioning my body before certain runs.

Because, of course, being able to balance on your head helps you dance.

I've had a few embarassing DDR moments, none too big. I've failed on my first song a couple of times, which always sucks, especially in front of a crowd. I've slipped and fallen off of the machine a couple of times, but usually get back up quick enough to not fail. It's not been enough to get me mad, or anything. I laugh it off and keep playing.

heh, easily my most embarrassing moment...

I was playing R3 for the first time, a couple weeks after I watched a guy do the entire song facing backwards, do the bar jump and everything....anyway, I decide to try the bar jump....I come up short in terms of height, smack my legs off the bar (no, no damage done), and fell backwards....I couldn't get up in time, I had to play the song through the bar....hah

RE: Fell off the machine as well

mine is when i was playing at home w/ a friend. me... trying to show off went to do a knee drop and broke my pad... shattered the plastic at the top. cut me up, couldnt play for about 2 days, and my pad broke... duct tape fixes many things tho ^_^

RE: Fell off the machine as well

lol i love doin knee drops! i dint break my pad, but i think i broke my knee... >_> anyways, just recently I was playing home version(extreme) and got 30 heavy songs done and only got "B's" on each... I go to do LOM and becuz I was sooo tired, I did the splits on a double 0.0 that hurt SO BAD! my friends all laffed but I just crawled outa the way and let sum1 else play.

RE: Fell off the machine as well

i was at this one arcade with my friend, and we were trying to do tricks on the dynamite rave on light. well, you know those motorcycle games in arcades where you have to tilt it to turn? well they have one of those like right next to the ddr machine. well needless to say, this guy jerked to the right on it and knocked me flat on my face off the machine.

[spel_werdzrite]

I go for Good Attacks on Wild Rush ONI (like mission 95 in DDREx1).
It looks like I'm doing bad and I hate looking like I suck...

my most embarresing ddr moment

my most embaresing ddr moment was when i was doing max unlimmited on heavy at an arcade i was doing awsome till my girl friend came in and i got so embarrased i fell off of the mat and landed on top of her

[Conspire]

RE: my most embarresing ddr moment

i was doing across the nightmare on heavy and in one of the right/downs i overshot and slipped off.. but i jumped back on and finished the song.. Then i played with a friend and I don't know if i was just worn out or what, but somehow I ended up punching him.. I think my brain got confused and moved my hand instead of my foot.. haha, i was so embarassed, he laughed it off but I doubt he'll ever play with me again :P

RE: my most embarresing ddr moment

Hmmm....

Well, last year at school I was playing Paranoia Survivor with this other good 7th grader (I was 8th) and during the last crossover part I was going too fast and I kicked him with my back foot. Also, while learning to play So Deep heavy doubles I leaped so far across the pads I fell off the other side. And, uh, with an ankle injury, bar raping light songs.

RE: Fell off the machine as well

Freestyling Rhythm and Police on heavy, turning around and whacking my arm so hard on the bar that I sprained it. D:

Needless to say, I failed the song.
