I really try not to be arrogant around n00bs, but seriously, the guys that used to make fun of me back in middle school for being tubby, who can barely scrape through max300 beginner, being there with some cute girls...I couldn't resist *busts out max300, paranoia survivor, paranoia kcet, and paranoia extra stage [random mind you]*

they turned red, but couldn't help but watch, I know the girls anyhow, and they've seen it all b4, it was still fun tho.

Somone reminded me of the days when i was a wannabe freestyler (b/c my PA suxored) and i had b4u basic memorized, for the most part, and was was doing my little routine to it, and some tough guys were calling me a fruit and such, i turned around still making most of the steps, and told them to put up or shut up...they shut up...

those are my only interesting ones i guess

GR, I have to agree with you about the messing up when someone you like is around syndome. I HATE IT!

Back to the topic. At the arcade I go to there are a million typical guys who want to be cool by being a jerk to players. (It's at a bowling alley so when it's 11pm the worst come around) And there's this little boy who'm I hate! I usually try to be a pacifist and all, but this kid could drive the pope to drink like no tomorrow. First he shoes up and puts a token up. So far so good. Then the next person goes up and he starts screaming "NO! I"M NEXT!" then someone tries to explain about how there were other tokens up before his.(oh yeah he steals tokens also) So he throws a tantrum. So FINALLY after he shuts up he gets onthe pad and just starts smashing arrows at random....then he picks his song. To make him more loveable he has SSS(Same Song Syndrome) Break Down, D2R, and the witch doctor song all on light. And he stops the living daylights out of the machine. No not just a child stomp but a "I must break this arrow inorder to get a good grade and have mad whack skills!" I flinch when he plays, I swear you can hear the machine beg someone to rip that kid off the machine. And an added bonus is that he shadows (ghost's)! Usually it's on the pad, so when someone is playing on heavy he just starts stomping at random. My frist encounter with him made me want to smack him. I was playing and he stood right infront of me. Sure he's short and all, but I play on reverse! So his freaking skull is in the way!

So in short : I hate that child.

Do you find yourself messing up more when people are around you watching you? Especially that one guy that always says, "Oh dude hes gonna mess up right here." That breaks my concentration and then of course I mess up.

Oooo man I love the crowd. Once there's a big crowd behind me, Imma bust out my Reverse Dark FS moves. haha

But I'm more like the pacifist kind of person. If someone makes fun of me while I'm playing, I just let it go. It's not going to bother me. BUT once someone starts shadowing me (considering their age to not be around little kid age) BEWARE because once you do that, WAH BAM!!!!! Consider yourself ko'ed

WOW if any guy was like "Hey, I can SO do better than that" while trying to show off to his girlfriends *ie. flailing, jumping, dropping cell phones* , I would just step off the pad at the end of the song and wave him up there.
"If you think you can do better, let's see it jerkass. No. I am serious. Let's see it. Oh...so you're not going to? That's what I thought."

I should be glad I don't have people like that at my arcade...I do get random 8 year old girls asking if I could show them how I play....(I made a couple of DDR junkies out of two of them once...it was nice. I set them on the path of good.

)

Urges like these are soooooooo hard to not follow.
Stupid kids walking in front of the machine, standing to close, standing on the pad next to you w/out permission, making fun, even kids running up to the pad while you take a break in between songs to look like jerk.
We all wish we can do a thing or two to them but honestly we can't (legally).

The closet thing I did was warn an irritating kid to "please not stand so close behind cuz my arms or legs travel a lot farther outside the machine when I'm dancing" but he just wouldn't listen. So I finally picked a move where I (used to back then) do a bar flare at the end and....he was just in the way. What can I say? I politely asked him to move.

He didn't stand so close anymore.

Little kids + pads + me dancing = eventual pain

I also hate idiots who try to throw you off beat, even though they can't do half as good as you. Not to mention idiots who have their friends who can't DDR a bit try to throw me off.

I was once at an arcade up in NC, which has a 4th mix plus (dunno why I like the thing so damn much). as most people were using the newer machine (think it was a max2) I decided I'd work on some freestyle. as I'm turning around to do some "power moves" I see two guys standing there yelling at me "if you can't play maniac, get off!"

as it was my last song, I allowed them to go, and they did some 6's and 7's (think they busted out B4U, oh snap!). when it was my turn again, for my four songs I did superstar, paranoia max, drop out, and trip machine climax. didn't score incredibly well, but when I got off they didn't say crap to me at all, and I went back to freestyling :0)

no need to resort to violence. just a very small amount of pwnage

there are plenty of annoyances at the arcade i go to, here they are

1: "The Child Prodigy"- we nicknamed this little kid that because hes like 9 and is disgustingly insane pwning up everything. BUT he finds it funny to make fun of me and my friends when we play "53 greats? you guys BLOW hahaha" well sorry boy ive only been playing for 3 months. some people have nerve, its no wonder hes so good. he must get lots of practice, if that little wanker was my son id send him out of the house to an arcade every day to.

2: "the noob who hogs"- this is by far the most annoying of all, theres some kid there who is probably a tourist from up north (we get alot of those in south florida) with his whole extended family crowding around the machine, ok so since were nice guys we let him get a turn, thinking he will get off when hes done, but no this is not the case, the noob who hogs puts his bucket of coins on the machine, and right when his third song is over plops in another 4, when somone tries to explain to him that there is a coin line and he needs to wait in it, he ignores them, and if thats not bad enough his annoying buttocks gradma/aunt/somethng is usually there saying "WOW LOOK AT HOW HE MOVES HIS FEET ITS CRAZY" (hes either playing beginer of failing light mind you)

3: "the chatterbox"- this is usually a group of people who stand right next to the pads and talk, loudly, about stupid things, im trying to get the beat of a tough song but cant here it over "well yea i had peas for dinner" or some other stupid trivial conversation,

but there not all bad at the arcade, there are really good people who give me advice and help me improve, thank god for them lol otherwise i think id blow up the arcade.

Of course, ignoring the source of annoyance is the best way to get rid of it, but sometimes our human nature wants us to get back to them. 'Sides, if they attempt to make fun of us, why can't we get a shot at them? It may not be the "smart" thing to do, but sometimes, we don't necessarly want to be "smart" all the time. So here goes what I'd like to do (but wouldn't dare to in some cases) to some examples given in this thread.

Well, I've had an interesting experience at one arcade.

I was playing Tsargu(I can't spell for shiat

) and my little sister was up next.

Here comes your usual macho-couldn't-find-a-beat-if-his-life-depended-on-it guy, with his girlfriend, naturally. I was at the part where the galloping suddenly turned into 8th beats when I saw him stomping the down arrow. I told him to piss off, which he did.

Then, he walks up and starts bugging me and again, I told him to go away. By this time, it was at the part where it starts to slow down and hit the freeze arrows. [ Note: This guy knew about the coin line system beforehand. ] He grabbed my little sister's token and resumed his spot on the 2P pad.

That was the last straw.

Instead of hitting the last freeze, I whip around and blast him off the stage by grabbing the bar and drill kicking him.

And the employees didn't mind a bit.

This is where public exhibition Freestyle comes in. I play at a Theatre where the Machine is RIGHT BETWEEN the 2 entranceways to the lobby and right past the ticket booth. So as soon as the crowds buy their tickets...instant audience.

Now, there can be some drawbacks to this. One day, I was in the midst of a random all and I had this guy to the far left of me, a decnt distance away from the pad. He said "Dude, this guy's SERIOUS!" Then his friends come in. "Dude check out this guy, he's SERIOUS!" Now, I there were a few other players there and I JUST got done my Random all with a few distracted Boos and Misses.

After 3 more games by some damn good players, it's my turn again and the crowd is all kinds of huge. So I break out the backpack of day to day props and go up for a 3 set of Freestyle.

Gamelan de Couple (Maracas)
Kakumei
Heaven is a '57 Metallic Gray (Snazzy hat and shades.)

Crowd = O_o'

At one point a police officer (Always one patrolling around) had to come over and see what the big ruckus was.

--------------------------------------------------------
One big tip to preventing ridicule and harassment from non-players...

NEVER EVER EVER GO TO PLAY DDR ALONE!!!! Go with at least 2 or 3 friends. I NEVER go alone to the theatre anymore, I kept getting harassed by this one group of african-american guys that always seem to be floating around there. If I have friends there, they back off and don't bother us.
