I hate F%&*ing people man...

I just hate it when some idiot, who probably dosen't even play the game, has to get up and start shadowing me when I'm trying to learn a new song. I mean come on. What the heck do people have to be all up in my face for, telling me I'm no good, when they're not even hitting any recognizable patterns, just flailing like an idiot, just throwing my timing off, getting in my way and covering the screen. And then their friends cheer them on like he's all cool and some junk. Like I challenged him and he's just schooling me. Whatever.

First off, I'm only a novice at best, I don't need that aggravation. Second, I don't play to compete, I play to have fun, until I can get better. Then and only then will I even consider a tournament or anything. It's just people like this that just make me want to leave the arcade in disgust.

I just felt like I had to get that out. Bleh.

I completely agree. I hate it when some one starts holding onto my bar cause theyre watching but at the same time im more than likely on a hard part and i need to use my bar. I remember being at the arcade and there was a guy playing singles and there was a pack of like 6 girls on the other pad just stomping around like a bunch of fools. Personally, i would of been really ticked off.

No, People don't understand, all they see is arrows go up a screen and you flail around..of course there gonna think..what this looks really stupid.

Don't they have a clue your perfect attacking, or keeping in beat.

All they know is..Hey he's moving around really fast...I can't do that cuz i'm not that cordinated.

If someone shadows me(which rarely happens), then I ask them to get off the pad at the end of the song.

If they decide they want to keep doing it then I get them thrown out of the arcade.

i haven't been to an arcade in a long while like 4 months.I don't know about other places but in that arcade (in the palms vegas)uh we all shadowed each other and none of us minded,well guess because we were all around the same skill level so we wouldn't mess each other out and i have no idea why im postin this.damn i forgot what the topic was about uh.......oh yeah uh i really dont mind if people shawdow me .....as long as hey can play at my same skill level or higher,if just n-e guy just wants 2 try it so the can try 2 look cool in front of friends then i would be pissed.well uh probrably will get flamed 4 this pile of words called a reply.

Well one of my arcades I frequent; this happens all the time. So, being the good person that I am.

I ask politly the first and second time. The third time I get one of the my friends who works there or I shove their asses off the pads. There has been many times I almost fought like 3 or 4 people at a time. It just comes with the territory. But I hate the stupid ghetto girls that travel in packs mind you that mess with me.

Most of the time thier boyfriends don't do anything because they know they are wrong. But they are not so easy to deal with. You've just have to stand up for yourself and show these people you mean business. Once you do then they won't mess with you anymore. That's all.

at the arcade near my town with two 8th mixes, it's GANGSTER CITY! yeah, i was jokingly being shadowed almost constantly yesterday, but they quit almost immediately after every time they tried. i wonder why...

Well shadowing...heh

let's just say that I used to do that...when I was fairly new to the game and I saw someone playing on either beginner or light. I don't do it anymore, but there are times where I watch the arrows from behind and move my legs in those directions...just got get a bit warmed up while I'm waiting for my turn. As for getting shadowed...It's not that annoying unless you're doing standard, and you some guy who's got all the steps to heavy memorized starts shadowing..because you here more TAP TAP TAP BAM BAM BAM than anything, which usually throws me WAY OFFBEAT. If there person is around my level though...and he doesn't seem to bad, I'll usually ask him/her if they wanna go one on one
