Odd DDR Habits!

Aku Soku Zan · Posted: Sun Dec 28, 2003 9:56 am Post subject:

With all songs I swing my arms around a lot. I also sing along with the songs and if there's no words I keep my mouth open. I don't know why.

So Deep-when I play on standard there's a bunch of freeze jumps that make me loose my balance and I tend to put my hand on the screen.

Butterfly-I snap to the beat when I play. It's the only song I do that to.

Tsugaru-the end freeze arrows I pretend to play air guitar

End of The Century-my friend and I scream out END OF THE CENTURY before the song starts.

Drop Out-on the part where it goes back and forth left and right my friend and I say "PENGUIN!" becasue we think it looks like a penguin during that part.

If I get an AA or an AAA I hug the machine. Aren't I a dork

- On Pink Rose standard, at the last sequence, I just randomly hop on the arrows, and somehow never miss the good ones. It's the only "nice move" I can do for now.

- On Cow Girl, when the song is at that "country-like" solo, about halfway through it, I make the most retarded face I can make and keep on going (mainly because I don't like country music, and for comedic purposes).

I always let my mouth hang open, which makes me look like a dork. I also swing my arms around alot.

When I play, I always suggest that people should be a long distance away, becuase I flail my arms madly. Also, I don't really know how to crossover, so when there is a song with a whole lot of double-stepping (CSFILSM), I look like a dying monkey becuase my arms swing around behind my back.

I'm not aware of any quirks I have during play, but before I leave the arcade I always kiss the machine.

At the begging of Stomp to my Beat I always do this knee dip to the skwookoo sound.

For a long time I tried to keep from flailing my arms by griping the seams of my jeans on either side. It did eventually help me, for easier songs I keep my hands at my side instead of up and flailing.

i trash-talk difficult songs that i really, really want to pass.

i swing around on the bars before choosing songs and while waiting for songs to load, to stretch my arms and legs.

i rap and sing along to Super Star, Luv to Me, Stomp To My Beat, and Bumble Bee sometimes.

Yeah... trash-talking the machines is a lot of fun.

Me:

I don't care if you're call Max 300 or Max 3000! I'm gonna stomp you to death and come back and do it again! Big scary ten-footer, huh? I'm gonn eat you for lunch, then take out your two big brothers for dessert!

*30 seconds later*

Machine: *FAILED flashes on the screen* There's always... a tomorrow!

Me: *collapses to ground, panting and sweating profusely* Yeah... that's right.. I'll get you... *Passes out*

And everytime I try to sing along with a song, I throw myself off the rhythm and end up getting a couple goods or something... sometimes I end up making up steps to match the rhythm and getting even MORE lost...

Whenever I'm not playing (or sometimes when I am), I yell out whatever text is in the background vid. My favorites are Ecstacy's "Are You Enjoy?" and Max's "SPINNING! SPINNING! SPINNING!"

Oh, and an odd Forum habit: ending my posts with Red Meat.

i always do the first and last part of abyss backwards, and the left-right double arrow backwards, in A ,right before it goes faster...if those really count as odd habits

Loogaroo · Trick Member Joined: 06 Feb 2002 Location: Glendale, CA

HVAM: Right when the arrows pause, I shout "Freeze!"

Long Train Runnin': "Scream if you wanna go faster..." So I do.

Mobo Moga: I've always thought about doing a Charleston during that long freeze.

Genom Screams: I sing along at the part that sounds like "Chili Beans are nasty!" part. (Thank you , Caffmja, for getting that stuck in my head.)

When the credits start to roll and the announcer says, "Thanks!" I say "You're welcome!"

I also used to have a habit of grabbing the bottom of my shirt with my right hand when I played.

When I first started playing I used to hold my arms up like a zombie and looked like a chipmunk flopping around.

I don't think I do anything abonormally weird now-a-days though I normally imagine myself staring at the screen completely blank and with my mouth open, but I'm not.
