exactly
first time I played DDR was at the arcade (granted I had already played SM for months so I wasn't completely clueless...but still

)

You should be good enough to not fail the easiest song.

novaquinn · 06-4-2004, 11:05 AM

There's a beginner mode at the arcade for a reason.

And if you're asking this question, you're probably already good enough to be at the arcade, anyway.

Just have fun.

Dont ever do beginner ull never get better from there, wat u shoud do is watch some1 do a light song and if its not to hard try it urself or ask some1 an easy light song to pick Dont ever do beginner ull never get better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ever

Can_Man · 06-4-2004, 08:47 PM

He's right. When I started I bypassed beginer alltogether, I got C's or D's for a while but it got better. ^_^

Brilliance · 06-5-2004, 11:46 PM

i think its more fun to watch people who don't know what they're doing anyways

I think all these new kids playing are hillarious, don't get me wrong, I love to see new people playing... but I'ts just not the same anymore. When I started, or any vet for that matter, we probably started at the arcade. The only limit to how good we got was how much money we had in our pockets, I'm seeing kids excell faster than ever with home games. Unlike arcaders, the console kids have no consequence for trying a hard song, and they can play all you want. Up and coming arcaders could fear a song for ever, just for the simple reason that they might waste a precious credit. I do like seeing more players, but I hope kids still play at the arcades, you make alot of good friends too.

Brilliance · 06-6-2004, 11:31 AM

Yeah I agree, the closes thing I have to DDR at home is FFR

That's why I go to an arcade that has freeplay on and you pay by the hour ($7 an hour that is) ^_^

mad_poodle · 06-6-2004, 02:53 PM

it's 3$/hour for us... yeah, that is how i met healingvision! lol we met at the arcade. playing at the arcade also brought some of my closest friends and I more together lol.

WTF? $3 an hour american ??!?!?!?! did your arcade have like... 4 machines or something ? because in my entire area, $7 an hour is the cheepest you'll ever find. (the arcade has about 20 machines)

bbcc · 06-6-2004, 11:32 PM

its not about how good you should be, but how much shit talk you can handle by people watching or other ddr players.

Strike_Vanisher · 06-7-2004, 07:14 AM

I don't think any level of skill is needed to play at the arcades... Hell, I started off playing at the arcades... And I thought I was so good when I nailed those beginner songs. This was a while ago however.

novaquinn · 06-7-2004, 02:22 PM

You guys are ALL lucky. The machine we have around here NEVER does free plays of any sort. It's always credit play. And it never changes either.

umm... yea lol ok fine i admit it i failed the easiest song the first time i played lol i was all like umm what do we do here lol

**Tank101** · 06-7-2004, 06:17 PM

the first time I went to the arcade I thought I'd be awesome because I was already real good at the home version and I thought it would be even easier at the arcade, I ended up trying a song on standard (I think it was sakura) and falling off the machine in front of everyone, let's just say playing at home doesn't help much at the arcade unless you own cobalt fluxes (spelling?)

dark_1203 · 06-7-2004, 06:28 PM

lol well dang that sucks thank god i didn't get up there lol everyone would be rolling on the floor with tears in there eyes lol

ROFLMAO Nope Mad_poodle isn't pulling your leg. $3 an hour for us, and that's CANADIAN, meaning it costs like...$2 American about...Very Cheap and worth it too. Our arcade that charges $3/hour (called Wonderland) has been going on a savage Bemani rant lately. Brought in Guitar Freaks a while ago, just got a DrumMania machine (not sure which mix...) and there's a rumor that IIDX is coming too

But yeah back on topic. I personally think it's best to start straight at the arcades. Because that way you won't learn to be all lazy by sliding your feet, because if you try doing that in the arcades, you're bound to either sprain an ankle or trip. Home pads also tend to be a smaller than the original arcade size (unless you have a metal pad, which not many people do/ can afford).
