Freestyling Tips

k that was cool. I dunno, I like Cyanides Mikeneko Rock freestyle a little bit better. The shuffling moves that Leroy did were well polished, but Cyanide's was more well polished and complete. If Cyanide did his shuffle moves more like Leroy, it'd have been nice.

let's see... dunno about sl1p, posted the cyanide link already, and I think Kid Zero used to be a ddr freak one but their vids never work it seems. You can find that one though on kazaa looking for 'crypt walk on ddr'.

ohh...so the guy who crypt walked to After The Game of Love is Kidzero, not Supply? Or is that still a different video?

dunno if he did it too, but kidzero is probably the most famous person for doing that with AtGoL

I've seen some freestylers hop back and forth over the grip bar..

But what if you are short? Any tips for short people to be able to do that?

Tip: Just don't bother. It looks stupid IMHO.

Oh, heck... when I think routine I think a performance... improv is just like... dancing to the arrows with just general moves, and maybe something funny you can come up with at random. But they're two kinda seperate fields. One can't really say someone who can improv better than routine makes them a better freestyler, or that someone who makes better routines than they can improv does, either... one's more of a test of who can choreograph and perform, and one's more of a test of who is better at on-the-fly performances...

It's just two opposites sides of the same spectrum

For those who don't know. My improv was generally horrible, because I was too focused on passing the song, (if there wasn't Autofail).

Hey, just adding on to the freestyling n00b list.

With my new redoctane pads for practice and a new digital video cam that's weeks away, my goal is to turn a 4-year PA'er into a "decent", and hopefully "fresh" freestyler. A rarity among my side of the monterey bay to my knowledge. I've viewed alot of the freestyle vids myself, all around the US and some from Japan. I've even burned my favorites onto CDs and sent them to people. What I'm trying not to do is take bits and pieces from my favorite freestylers and throw 'em together.

Well, when I pull something I consider a watchable routine together, I'll post it up for commentary and whatnot.

My goal right now: stop looking at the goddamn arrows and dance!!

I'm just wondering what kind of song does justify a lot of arm movement. I'm a bit dancing illiterate and don't know exactly what this raving is (something to do with the overfreestyled Dynamite Rave?), but for a song like Kakumei, I almost think lots of crisp, overextended, defined arm movement gives the song a feel of classical style. I've always wanted to do a freestyle to that song with a girl and waltz across the pads, maybe throw in some salsa turns and dips, etc., etc. Once again, my question is "do you think elongated / abundant arm movement would be justified in the case of kakumei?"

Sure if you want. It's your performance, sooooo try it. If it's anything like I think you're talking about I do something like that to Healing Vision... give it a shot.

Healing Vision (non-angelic mix) and Sandstorm are good for Raving, I play them on PS2 DDRmax all the time and i get good practice at FS those songs. I dunno but I have always been a freestyle player instead of those 6-10 foot level songs crzay speed players, plus i hate 8th notes, lol.
