PSSST 36ISLS36! They have MLP songs on the machine Stormy is referring to! It was cool!

i've never played DDR so i haven't been posting in this thread. but that's cool! from what i understand of it i would imagine MLP songs being pretty difficult, especially if Pinkie Pie's involved in them at all.

I've been playing more frequently in the arcade and can usually FC Paranoia Survivor and Legend of Max on Heavy. I don't play too much on the new pad since I know how sound travels through my apartment complex, but at least I know it works

I also passed a couple ITG 12s at this cool little arcade at a gymnastics club. Best machine ever - flat modded panels, super sensitive, ITG 2 cabinet running Stepmania/Simply Love theme. If it wasn't 45 minutes away I'd be going there every day.

Dang, 2014 would have been awesome. Sucks that they took it down, but I guess there just isn't much of a market for DDR anymore...SuperNova 2 is better than a lot of other places though.

And I actually made the drive downtown and played this weekend in the arcade. But I only had $3 in my wallet, so I only got to play 4 rounds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Last weekend I went to the arcade near where we're moving. Before going there I had heard that they used to have DDR 2014 but downgraded to SuperNOVA 2, so kind of disappointing, but still better than the Extreme I have now, so I was excited to try it. When I got there it was sitting unplugged in a corner. I went to go ask an employee if I could plug it back in, and after plugging it in and seeing that the screen wasn't turning on, she had to go get a tech to fix it. I wonder how long it was there like that before someone cared to ask.

They did eventually get it up and running, and it was a pretty decent machine - pads in good shape; song selection from Extreme, SuperNOVA 1, and SuperNOVA 2; and free doubles. But there were a couple things that kept it from being perfect. Part of the right side of the screen was cut off, which made it kind of hard to see the right arrow, and there was a glare from the lights that made it hard to see the entire left side. I ended up playing for about two hours despite barely sleeping the previous night.

Found out later from the DDR/ITG Facebook group I'm on that everyone in that area hates that arcade now since they downgraded, so I guess I'm not likely to meet any other players there. Also, a pro player who I subscribed to on Youtube a while back apparently used to work there, and after he left there was no one left to care about the dance/rhythm game scene.

Can't use it for 6 weeks until a USB control box gets shipped (and it's also at the parents' house), but at least I have it!

Album of some recent scores, most of them sightreads. The fail with no misses is because I let go of some freezes to reach the hands.

It was really weird because I was the only non-employee there since I went around 2 pm on a weekday, lol. One of the employees there gave my two free games.

And now that I know I can pass Elemental Creation on Expert, I can't wait to get a hold of a pad of my own so I can practice more Stepmania songs

And congrats on the pass of Max 300 SMMM; I'm sure you'll get a better score soon and then screencap it

Editing to add FFFFFFFFF I got a C on Max 300 Super-Max-Me Mix but I accidentally pressed alt+esc instead of prt sc and my score is gone D:

Do you have a bar for the pad yet, or were these scores without one?

My recent 15 passes:

Recent "10" passes (these should really probably be 15s or so but they were rated on the old scale):

I'm not thrilled with the grades, but it's a start!

I have been speedmodding everything to ~300 BPM, and it helps a ton with learning to read faster. Finally starting to get the hang of the whole conserving energy by barely lifting your feet and playing flat-footed thing, too.

But now with how much social media is taking over i would honestly not mind it being sung everyday
