Interesting Things That Happened While Playing DDR / ITG.

[Blackheart87]

It's always somewhat funny when someone falls off the machine in the middle of the song. But this guy I found on youtube passes out completely in the middle of some edit stepchart he made for Utopia. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5pAy5Md2O8

I feel sorry for the guy, but I can't help but laugh at him.

Note that I didn't read any of this thread, because I'm not wasting my time reading all those big post.

1: The employees of the arcade broke the DDR machine trying to get back this little brats bouncy ball that she lost under the machine. They mooved it around all over trying to get it, they finally did, but then the machine went ppppfffffttt... Then they thought that the problem was something really complicated, they thought is was the hard drive. So they bought a new one, and it still didn't work. Then they realized it was something incredibly simple, and they wasted all that money on nothing. All for that little brats bouncy ball. omg! Idiots...

That's it.

Okay I go the arcade to play some Dance Dance Revolution. Got some change and played a few songs, sooner or later I had to get more quarters so I did. On my way back from that change machine, a guy asks me if I could spare fifty cents. No harm in that, so I gave it to him and he thanked me as I walked back to the Dance Dance Revolution machine. Played one song and the manager walks up next to me observing as I was choosing my second song. He then asks, "what did you give to that man a little earlier?"

I replied that I gave him some change, but that manager didn't believe me. He says, "I know your kind, this arcade doesn't want anything to do with your drugs. If your going to do that, do it on your own turf." Next thing he bans me from the arcade thinking I was some drug dealer. Even though I was really pissed I just laughed and saved my quarters for next time.

LOL, I love this thread.

Nothing really that interesting happens to me when I play ITG.
Once, a little kid came up next to the machiene and was trying to kick my legs to make me lose my balance. His mom came up and smacked him on the head. It was funny, but that's about it.

I'll post more if anything comes to me.

Lonestar Soccer Club was having a party at Main Event, and some kids on the Division 1 team decided to hop on (I forgot their names). They were taking way too long to choose the song (The clock had like 10 seconds left), so I just hit the green button while they were scrolling. I was laughing before the kid to the left could even turn around and yell "YOU BITCH!!".

That's bad. If that happened to me, I would've punched her in the neck.

Then I'd see you in the nearest correctional facility; believe me, it doesn't matter who started who, you'd be in deep ****.

So I was playing MAXX UNLIMITED a few months ago... I got to the last ****ing arrow and died. GRRRRR!!!!1

i was at the arcade chillin when some fat kid challenged me to a game of DDR to impress his girl (she was fckin hot to ) and we played paranoia last song when in the middle his foot sliped and he fell over the bar, then when he hit the floor XD is was like hearing 2 pounds of mayonase smaked the floor even his girl kiked him and left, XD it was hilariuos how he got up and just ran away, btw if any of you remember this was at Chinatown like around jan 25 when the manager even called the kid a fat *** XD *dies laughin*

[super kid]

One time I went to do a bar jump on Era and I didn't come close and fell and smacked my face.

I always seem to sweat and it all ways gets in my eyes witch burns and in my mouth witch tastes salty.

Ok, so once there was a 18 year old who asked to verse me. I looked around (I was 12 at the time) and there was nobody around, so I said Sure, as there was no risk of anyone affecting me!! So we were playing DDR Extreme on heavy mode. First we played Butterfly on heavy mode, and sone guy out of nowhere popped out behind the Tekken machine and picked me up! I struggle to get down and after about 10 seconds he drops me. Then I continue and I get an A and my opponent gets a D

Also once I sprained my ankle from playing and I tripped and it was sprained so I couldn't play for a few days

So then I was playing with the controller but I was not as good so then I found out it wasn't really sprained at all, the doctors had been wrong

This was very odd

That's happened to me, also.

Let's see, three things stick out in my mind:

1. Playing in the Michigan State Finals. The people organizing the tourny were clueless, and decided.. Hmm.. Semi-finals. It's got to be hard. Ooh! We'll draw songs and modifiers from a hat! Guess what my match gets? Sakura, Heavy, Hidden. Something like 150-250 BPM. Oww. I lose by a few points and take fourth.

2. Playing ITG for the first time in Florida, a bunch of twentyish kids challenged me [I was 15.] I had seen them play, so I bet them on it. The first kid I knew sucked, as he chose Standard, of all things. I purposely got some boos and goods, to suck the others in. I collected $5 from him. The next kid was apparently their best and called me out for $10. He chose Heavy and mauled the song. I got around three boos and collected $15 altogether (plus, they paid for my songs during the challenges!)

3. Again, on the ITG machine in Florida. I had come back from swimming, and played barefoot for awhile. Finally, on a long 16th stream, my heel connected with a nut that was sticking out of the bottom of the bar. I've now got a gash about an inch wide and perhaps a quarter-inch deep in my heel - not terrible, but it certainly bled. I walked from the arcade, across their fancy tile floor, up their carpeted stairs, and to the front desk to ask for a bandage. The lady then made me explain how I hurt myself, which took perhaps 30 more bleeding seconds. She then took at least five minutes to find a bandage, and she comes up with this tiny one, about this big: | | I then go back down the carpeted stairs, across their tile, and out of the building, all the while still bleeding on their fancy floors.

one time i was playing, and my shoelace, somehow, got stuck inbetween and arrow and like the metal.
it was impossible to pull it out during the song. so i had to leave it. it was so annoying.

For the "See the ITG machine and hops on for the hell of it" type of players, I recommend that you stay from Robotix on Light = (.

1. I was playing playing DDR once with my soccer team watching me in amazement and I chose Max 300 for my final stage. Near the in the middle of the song, the song froze up and broke on me. I was like *sigh* and my teammates were like "the game couldn't take his pro DDR skills. The DDR machine was broken for the rest of the day.

2. Back in the good old days when I was a noob heavy player, I was attempting So Deep on heavy for my first time and during the game this crippled guy on a wheelchair was watching me play. I failed near the end and the guy was like "All the work for nothing" and he left laughing. I felt like punching the guy's face but the whole staff of the movie theatre was near him and I didn't want to get kicked out so I let him go.

1. Random praise for playing in 90 degree (f) in Florida on ITG

2. This little kid wanted to try the DDRExtreme in an arcade/waterpark, so I get there and I let him and his sister/friend was trying to imitate him on the next pad. I patiently wait while they play Saint Goes Marching on Beginner (I had to help them with the difficulty adjustment, I'm not evil enough to let them try to play on standard), and like the attention span of today's children, they're bored with it halfway through the song, so the mother of one of the children say I could play, so I finish the song and get 2 more songs on the credit, with an extra pad to my left(right pad was more receptive).
