USA vs. The World

Saba76 · Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 4:54 pm Post subject: USA vs. The World

Remember those NHL All-Star games when it was the North America vs. The World? Well, I was thinking, and there are some nasty DDRers in the States, and I think that we could take on the world.

So what does DDR Nation think? Can we beat the best? I think so!

No, it's pretty much fact.

I thought I'd just save you guys the trouble of setting the whole thing up by just telling you the outcome prior to said event.

To be honest I'd say US>Japan>Europe, simply due to the sheer number of skilled players in the US. I could name 10 US people who have 100+ heavy AAAs, but the only reat Japanese players who come to mind are Yasu, Take and Aaron, though i know there are a couple of other well known ones.

The European situation is definately improving, as i grow ever nearer to AAAing max300 (ok, so 48 greats isn't that close) and quite a few of our players are racking up high AAs and AAAs all over

We just haven't been playing as long as you

In terms of gameplay FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN (Remember I said this), I would Japanese players seem to be more about the game in general, whereas Americans tend to go a bit overboard, like Freestyling.

Sure, there are Japenese players who Freestyle, as well as Americans who focus soley on the game, but the majority seems to be what I've already said.

So... Maybe in a freestyle tournament I'd put my money on USA, but for a straight out AAA competition I think Japan would rock like no tomorrow.

Well, since many do not know about this, I'll post it:

If you want the Japanese rankings list for DDR Extreme (new songs only), go here:

http://hyper3.amuser-net.ne.jp/~s-time/pa/ranking.cgi
(Click on the names to see individual score sheets; the master list is organized by a points system covering all difficulties on single/double, though the list can be reorganized by Heavy, Oni, etc. from those links at the bottom of the page (i.e. HSP = Heavy Single Perfect))

And for rankings for all other mixes and other Bemani games:

http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~fantom/ddr/pa/

(You will have to click around to get all the scores, but they should all be there)

I meant to say North America in my original post. I agree that DDR is losing popularity in Japan, but they still have a lot of good players. Concerning DDR talent around here, we have the 1-2-3 Kid, and my friends Ed and Ryan are hard to beat. Palmer is a doubles player and Andrew is pretty good. Me? I'm struggling for an identity in tournaments, but I'm still marginally good, but not good enough to take on Japanese players.

But then again, would we really need Canada in this competition?

That would be interesting to see, though it would be hard to get every person's best scores recorded.
