Bigfoot Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Goofy? That looks graceful and elegant to me. It's to the point that it almost seems like the song was played in slow motion and then the video was sped up after.That sounds like a stupid rumor people make up about popular players. Freak? Come on. :\ When I say freak, I meant as in freakishly amazing at Doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I do, but not religiously or anything. Just when I'm bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicbhoc Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I play it whenever I can, as it is my only form of exercise. I lost 30 pounds. I have a hand-soldered Xbox USB Dance Pad... Not only that, but I also sparked a movement to fix the xpad driver in the Linux kernel to get my pad supported. I didn't exactly do anything but call attention to the fact that the driver was OOOOLD but since then lots of DDR-related development was done to the driver. I'm also trying to make more stuff for StepMania but I spend too much time playing the game mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainocd Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I find it difficult for anyone to look elegant when playing high bpm songs on ddr. It just limits your time to react and make more elegant step patterns. After a while it just looks like the same three patterns over and over again. Standing on your tip-toes just makes things seem that much more forced. I mean, the only person I can think of who dances like that is Michael Jackson when he moon walks, but he doesn't do that for an entire performance. His heels touch the ground eventually.That's why I like free-styling and just winging songs over perfect-attacks. Yeah, I meant he looks as graceful as you can be playing such a song. "Precise and mechanical" might of been a better choice of words. If you check out my videos, you'll see that I play on my toes too. This is because my playing style is heavily influenced by Yasu and Take. Their videos were my only reference to learning the harder songs, not to mention I idolized them when I was playing Light and Standard. I never played in public until I was well into Heavy, so I missed out on all the mentoring I could of gotten from experienced local players who almost exclusively play flat footed.

Broken Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Just curious, how many people on here play Stepmania? I play fairly often. I think of it as an interactive but not neccessarily strenuous way to enjoy music. I would play actual DDR more, but I don't usually have time and I recently hurt my back, so I'm letting it heal.

Gollgagh Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 If you guys want a fun stepmania file, try Holy Orders.http://www.groovestats.com/index.php?page=customsongs&action=view&id=25 That was pretty fun. First try: Meh, I can get a lot better, but I'm kinda lazy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rod Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ok....Ive been makin stepfiles for a good while now (I had a bunch on Bemanistyle 6.0 before it was updated), and Ive managed to dig up my old Sonic CD stepfiles. I just posted 6 on Bemanistyle if anyones interested, and I'll be posting the 7th tomorrow (Bemanistyle limits the number of stepfiles you can post in a day). The Japanese Sonic CD had one of the best sonci soundtracks ever to me, second only to Sonic 3D Blast. And Im much better at making stepfiles than I am at making music : ) My name on theres is DJ Draco, so if you search for my stuff, you'll find all of em Ive posted thus far. Well, heres the links: Palmtree Panic: http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=14999 Collision Chaos: http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=15000 Tidal Tempest: http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=15001 Quartz Quadrant: http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=15002 Wacky Workbench: http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=15003 Stardust Speedway: http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=15004 Metallic Madness: Coming tommorrow : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I have the best idea for a song, but I dunno how to perfectly find the BPM of a song and all that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsurugi Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 If anyone has played the stepfile for Ayumi Hamasaki's Naturally, yeah. It's really fun. I usually have to play it once when I start up Stepmania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also trying to make more stuff for StepMania but I spend too much time playing the game mostly. I'm trying to mod my crappy old pads so I can play SM with them when I'm back to 100%. Do you have any tips on this? Right now, I have 3 decent (-ly bad) xbox pads, one Male-Female USB cable (I believe,) electric tape, and wire cutters. Do you know a good place to find a soldering iron/ xbox drivers etc? I mostly want to do this because it looks like a fun project. I'm the kind of person that likes to open up his GC controller and clean it out when it goes haywire instead of buying a new one. But if it's too much hassle, I'll just buy a ps2 pad and use my ps2-usb adaptor. Which leads me to my second question. What are some decent and affordable ps2 metal/foam insert/ soft pads?

Gollgagh Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 That kind of playing is insane. Insane, I tell you. Uggh, Holy Orders IZ HARRDD!Can't beat it despite retrying about 8 times already.
