Unison Mode ahead of its time???

I've been thinking about this for a while and I believe that unison mode was truly ahead of it's time. Back when I was playing third mix I would have never have understood the true nature and wonders that unison mode offers. I lacked the skill and the patience to do so.

Unfortunately, it's too late to take advantage of this mode because it is no more. Could you guys imagine how we could have had a whole section of songs devoted to this mode, and how technically complex they could have been. I've always thought that classical music would have been a good genre for unison mode(maybe some light jazz as well). This mode could have been used for the true elitist out there. Oni courses anyone!!!

I'm just really sad that nobody ever realized this when it was around.

Tell me what you guys think about unison mode and it's possiblities.

I dunno what unison mode is, so you might need to explain. I started DDR'ing at EXTREME. Too late for me.

Unison was a really fun little mode. I remember when Dr. Nick and I put up some hilarious high scores on our old 3rd Mix(since we'd also step on arrows even though one of us was supposed to). I'll agree that it's a shame they didn't put this in other mixes.

UNISON MODE WAS THE BEST!! I only played it like 4 times along long time ago when I was just beginning but I thought it was the best thing ever!! Of course I didn't do to good and it felt like my head was going to explode with the blue's red's and white's but it still was the best. They should definatly bring it back.

Hey aku and antonio!!!

"Waves and jumps up down"

Been a while!!!

I might come up to the break in a week or two, and I'll come out to sf before december is out.

Anyway, everyones responses just proves my point. Unison mode really was ahead of its time. I think had the developement team waited till max to bring this mode out, it would have truly appreciated for what it really is.

And for everyone who don't know what unison mode is it was a mode from 3rd mix where two players play one song. Only things is that each player is playing a different part of the song and sometimes they are both playing it at the same time.

It's exactly like hearing two people perform a duet. When you hear two different voices meshing to create on beautiful,hyonotic melody. It truely just goes to show what we all really missed out on.

Take this comparison and apply it to DDR, and you my friends truly have a mode that could have been around today.

Oh well!!!

I can dream can't I?

Ahhh! Unison!

Lucky me, I still play it all the time on a 3rd Mix machine near here.

all I can say this this

Freestyle Edit: Unison Mode routine. You would kick so much buttocks at a Freestyle tourney.

My brother and I still play unison whenever we get the chance at our local 3rd Mix machine. It never occurred to me how many newer DDR players (yes, it says I joined in October, but have been playing since December 2002...just to clear that up) have never even heard of that mode.

I agree with the notion that having unison mode on Extreme machines would result in better freestyling routines. The players would be doing different things at different times, along with hitting their separate arrows, and still managing to look good while doing it. With that, it doesn't look like a Backstreet Boys video.

Actually, now that I think about it, Unison Edit freestyling could actually work. It'd take some more effort, but it could seriously work.
