rmmd: are you sure it's water? anything not gatorade/water will seriously ruin you. i wanna slap a person everytime i see them drink a soda to quench their thirst.

RMMD · 08-19-2003, 05:20 PM

ONLY HIT THE REPLY BUTTON ONCE

I learned that little lesson about ez-board-type boards VERY fast =p

Anyways, don't gulp down gallons of water before you play... Just 30 minutes before you go to play, get yourself a big glass of water and sip on it for a while. When you leave for the arcade bring a water bottle. (Or if you play at home, get more water and have it somewhere nearby so you can grab in inbetween songs) If you gulp down lots of water you'll get cramps in your side, much like you said. Getting some potassium helps, too - I heard bannanas were good for this, but I'm sure there's plenty of other ways to get it.

And yeah, don't be afraid to bar rape. In fact, I bar rape pretty much every song (Unless I'm doing something stupid for fun and don't really care about my score). Always keep your knees somewhat bent. Step on the inside of the sensor, not in the middle, it reduces the amount you have to move, saving time and stamina.

bar REAPING. RREEAAPPIINNGG. do NOT, i repeat, rape the bar. lol. i have never used the bar before. i play ddr all the rime and my calves SUCK. SSUUCCKK. what solipsa said is basically backwards for me. i tiptoe on the last run of eith notes. and bananas? Man u guys take it seriously. i just play it then drink some water. i hate bananas i hate potassium i hate HEALTHY. healthy is for losers

im cool cuz im unhealthy, heh. solipsas gonna slap me silly cuz for ddr i drink the official ddr power drink: mountain dew! yeah! i get cramps all the way up to my side! it helps cuz the tremendous pain gives me the BOOST i need to finish the songs! and then the pain makes me pass out.

I have several solutions for people who say they are too light for DDR

1) Get better pads
2) Eat more, weigh more, just don't be a fat kid :P Weighing more helps in the long run, as it generally is muscle.
3) If you can't, or choose not to do one of the 2 above... Don't play DDR till you're 14 or 15 :P

**EDEdDNEdDYFaN** · 08-22-2003, 02:55 PM

im 11 and can beat most songs on DDR MAX (USA) on light and im starting to play Standard,Heavy arrows look like insane on most so im afraid of dying of scaredddness

RMMD · 08-22-2003, 08:28 PM

EDEdDNEdDYFaN... you talking bout on light? considering this is about the 4th hardest song in ddr can you possibly talk about songs on heavy or post a thread about songs on light and standard?

dAnceguy117 · 08-23-2003, 08:59 AM

not counting oni exclusives (PSMO), MaxX is 3rd or 2nd hardest, behind LOM and possibly PSM.

SnarfyBobo · 08-23-2003, 09:03 AM

12 year olds shouldn't swear, just keep practicing, you'll get it

dAnceguy117 · 08-23-2003, 09:14 AM

what. the. fuck. that. was. so. fucking. gay. snarfy. hobo. noone. swore. ur. retarded. get. the. fuck. out. of. threads. that. are. over. your. head. u. goddamn. son. of. a. bitch. before. synth. kick. ur. lazy. punk. ass. out. for. you.

Fruitcake · 08-27-2003, 10:09 PM

Learn the rythm of the step-freeze step-freeze section at the start. I found that when i learnt that, i breezed through it.

RMMD · 09-3-2003, 09:12 PM

i know but even with bar raping the farthest i've ever gotten is a little over halfway, like to the beginning of the insane jumps.

witeasprinwow · 09-3-2003, 11:14 PM

The first jump pattern is only like, 1/4th or 1/5th of the way into the song X_X

But really, once you learn the assist tick, the song shouldn't be that hard unless you either don't have the stamina or don't have the leg speed.

Also, if you're used to speed modding, tone it down for a while... Since you're probably not using speed mods on MaxX (Well, at least, not for now)... I stopped using speed mods to train for Max300 (I could already read at around 500bpm, I figured that was good enough =p ), and that helped a hell of a lot... Went from dying on the second run to dying around the middle freezes...

Paradox137 · 09-4-2003, 06:52 PM

Ok, if you're having trouble as soon as it starts with the jumps, play MaxX on Standard. The middle-end of the song is nothing but jumps. If you can easily get through that then Heavy shouldn't be a problem. Also, go to DDRFreak.com and look at the step chart while listening to the music. It'll get the patterns ingraved in your head. While this doesn't sound like it helps, most of the game for DDR when you reach the really hard heavy songs is knowing what to do and when... what's coming up next, when to turn, etc etc. Either that or get StepMania.

And I have to disagree about LoM or PSM being the hardest song. LoM really isn't that hard... it's only the speed, not the arrangment of steps. I call it Drop Out on crack. PSM is the same as PS but 20 bpm faster and the steps are re-arranged. As far as I'm concerned, the arrangement of steps for PSM is easier than that of PS. The hardest song is between So Deep, Max300 or MaxX. So Deep because it's chaotic, and a lot of people can't handle those kinds of gallops and not in that number, 300 because it's pure, and sometimes intense, stream, and X because, in a way, it's chaotic. For a song that's 320 bpm, the steps are somewhat chaotic.
