I agree 100% E4.gif

While I am an anime fan, I have found a number of other anime fans that play DDR, and a good number that either don't like anime or don't have a clue what it is. Basically, it goes both ways. So, don't be offended if anime fans assume your an anime fan, take it as a complement ^^

And I'm not sure if this is really a stereotype or just a fact magnified, but why do DDR players have the biggest egos and attitudes? I don't seem to notice this problem as much in other video games and sports. What is it about DDR that brings out these qualities?

I'm not saying all or most have this problem, but having grown up playing a lot of sports and video games I've never noticed such a heated ego war in any of them until now. Maybe it's because of the internet or because DDR has such a simple and easy system to compare players. Unlike golf, basketball, tennis, hockey and a lot of other sports out there; you can't easily compare one athlete to another on such a universal scale. Basketball and hockey are both team sports, making it that much harder. While golf and tennis depend on completely different factors as individual sports, along with location, weather conditions, equipment, etc. to factor in.

The DDR egos are flat out dwarfed by Counter-Strike egos.

One that I've heard is that you need rhythm to play. I don't see that being all that true, it's really just eye-foot co-ordination. The only way rhythm factors in is when you freestyle...

The fact that people consider knee/hand drops freestyling.

Okay I agree with the fact that it is a bad stereotype that it's wierd when a girl playes but it freaks me out still cause I'e only seen like one girl "really" play so... sorry but...

Also That whites aren't good at it well thats totally not true.

Oh and a kids game. Kids are annoying. My friend has a 10 year old brother who plays. He's not heavy enough for freeze steps, he sucks, and hes tha spawn of satan.( sorry that's not part of the stereotype thing but it's true) erm.gif

Okay well there are my stereotype peeves.

I dislike the stereotype that if you can play IIDx well, you'll automatically be good at DDR. I mean, there's all those rumors that go around saying "someone beat max 300 on his first time playing DDR, and said this is easy, IIDX is harder" It's so stupid. Just because you can do something hard with your hands doesn't mean you can do crap with your feet.

I hate when people think DDR is some gay video game, no ur all wrong, it's a lifestyle. I also hate when people say that DDR is gay when they have never played. It is only fun when u can do Standard and Heavy songs.... everything else sucks E13.gif

ddr player= nerd/geek/loser

just because i play ddr that makes me:

Not like any music besides japanese techno
Very Femanine (OMG THAT &^% ME OFF)
Queer/Gay ect..
Good at stomping on arrows


(it was the wost idea to tell my "FRIENDS" that i play ddr because they continually rag on me about being femanine and queer. And when i told em that tons of other guys play they said ALL GUYS WHO PLAY DDR ARE GAY.)

yeah, whenever someone asks me that its usually on a song that i haven't played that day, so i just say "i've never played this song" and then they look at me all E11.gif

the one that says if you're on heavy, you have no life outside the arcade
