Ddr Fs Vs Piu Fs

BeethovensVirus · Basic Member Joined: 03 Jun 2003 Location: South Jersey

now i have noticed a very huge difference in the DDR VS PIU FS and i def hvae to say the DDR FS is terrible. there is very little dancing in all the videos and the dancing in them isn't anything like Pop or anything it is just funny stuff. and everyone always say "Oh DJ 8-Ball" is so good at FS well lemme tell you this much i DLed like atleast 10 of his videos offline and i have to say i am atleast 10X as good as he is. he doesn't do anything but funny stuff. and the other guy i hear alot about is Ting or something like that. I have never seen either of these guys do any power moves such as a head spin, 1990's, or even an L-Kick!!!!

to make my point clear i hvae to say the DDR FS videos stink. but i have seen some really good stepping videos for DDR like the oni ones are pretty cool. but DDR FS doesn't even come close to PIU FS.

Let me be the one to say that breakdancing is not the only kind of dancing out there.

How brave of a PIU person to post in a DDR freak area

. I don't know how can you PIU people put up with that dang load time (I can't).

Btw, capping on DDR in a DDR area is like asking for major flaming. Go post in your PIU forums (if they exist for the matter).

OK, first up let me say that DJ 8-Ball's freestyle routines are absolutely awesome. And no, I am not trying to suck up to him, I don't even know him.

Please tell me where I can download 10 of his video clips, because I only have 3 or 4, and I want the more.

You say you are 10x better than 8-Ball? I want to download your videos, badly! Pump It Up or DDR, I don't really care. If you can freestyle better than 8-Ball I want to see it.

Don't take this as slagging you off, I am not saying you are not better DJ 8-Ball. It's just that I really do WANT to see any freestyle routine that is better than his.

8-Ball's Cafe' Freestyle, which is the best one that 'I' have seen, is awesome. Seeing it made me want to DDR more and even try freestyling. I wish we had a 5th mix machine in my city.

Just giving a heads up, the mods really don't take too kindly to DDR vs. PIU threads.

And IMO, the only good thing that ever came out of PIU is beethoven virus.
beethoven virus > speed over beethoven

And as for me, both games are basically the SAME FREAKING THING what you can do one one, you can do on the other. Even though pump has 5 panels, it really doesnt make much of a difference.

Hmmmmm...well all I have to say is. He has his own opinion. I saw 8-Ball's via Cafe, vid. I thought it was ok.

DDR freestyles I will agree most of them do suck...I judge!! There are a few Freestylers out there that give me awesome eye candy. SGT LTR, Tsinay Butterfly (Best Girl FS'er out there), JP $ just to name a few.

But comparing them? That's not really kosher.

Both games have their up's and downs. That's like trying to compare how difficult Tekken 4 is to Tekken 1. They both have their strengths in difficulty and weaknesses in difficulty.

As do the freestylers. And every PIU Freestyler isnt going to meet MY requirements as a judge. I'll tell you that right now. Why? Every judge has his/her own preferences. AS do the freestylers.

There is no need for the word, numbnuts up there.

As for freestyle, well I have a few words.

DDR freestyle generally (in my opinion) doesn't compare to PIU freestyle. PIU and its arrow placement was designed more for freestyle than DDR was. Generally PIU produces a better freestyle than a DDR does.

As for dj 8-ball, I personally don't like his stuff. Though his Synchronized Love was pretty good (with Samantha). Though there is plenty of other videos of other people out there.

It's a bit harsh when you pop in here and say you are better than the "best". Do you have any vids?

Haven't you PIU people relized that it's a cheap imatation of DDR?

PIU isn't made by Konami.

I really hate when a person makes a topic like this saying their better and all that junk and then never posts after people ask him to prove it, until he shows us vids I am not going to believe him

also I doubt he will post again he just registered and i'm sure he signed up only to make a problem(this thread)

Ok, let's straighten a couple things up, shall we?

First of all, the OP feels that PIU FS, on the whole, looks better than DDR FS. I, like quite a few others out there, am inclined to agree. I like watching PIU FS more than DDR FS.

The Game II · Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2003 9:35 pm Post subject:

I agree...PIU has more emphasis on FS than DDR, and I enjoy PIU performances/freestyles much more than some DDR performances.

ADDITION: The way DDR and PIU was structured, I enjoy FSing more on DDR because to me, PIU steps give little room for freedom rather than DDR steps.

And I have to agree with Kakumei_086, until the OP shows us some of his performances, I will not believe one word that he's better than 8-ball.

First of all (Like everyone else has stated)... This guy shouldn't have shown his face here & probably deserves an insta-ban for the Flame (IMO, but I don't have the power)... With that said...

PIU & DDR do have similarities & differences, but I find that DDR is better than PIU on the mechanics & on the name-recognition (banking on Konami's name). I know I'm going to be bias towards DDR (only because I haven't been able to play PIU at all around me), but this is a DDR community...

First, DDR doesn't have a lot of Pop or "Radio Songs" that PIU may have... That doesn't really bother us since we like to expand our range. I know that DDR does have some songs like "Kung Fu Fighting" & "Have you Ever been Mellow" & a rendition of "Smoke (on the Water)", but those songs aren't totally recent.

Second, DDR mechanics are simplier with the cardnial 4 directions instead of the corners/center set-up with PIU. I'll give PIU that is may be easier to freestyle on, but easier does not always mean better.

Third, you probably should put your tapes where your mouth is... You threw down the gauntlet here & you should have the vids to back that up. I've seen a good cross-section of the vids on this site & I say that he's pretty good (Especially in Syncronized Love Edit), but there are some other DDRers that I like better than DJ 8-Ball.

Finally, PIU makers, Andamiro, is considered a "No Name" company in the gaming world while Konami is widely known since the mid 80's. Konami does have the ability & the power (even know I don't know how the legal suit between them is going) to keep pumping out DDR games & machines.

Let's just face it... DDR will live on.

PS to BeethovernsVirus: Work on your spelling...

Where I come from, they call this a flame. And a pretty bad one at that. No basis for what you're flaming. Just a simple insult, probably posted under the reasoning that, "The OP doesn't deserve any more explanation from you." You're not adding ANYTHING to the conversation, and really just giving the mods another reason to lock this thread.

meh, sorry, but he likely wont read it anyways, cuz he's not ever going to post again.

and it's not like pumpers are people.
(i am kidding, i like pump *somewhat*)
*edit* i will edit the earlier post. Again, apologies.
