Improving your DDR skills

runningwolf117: I would say since you don't have the home version you should just wait for someone else to do it and (I know people don't like this so ask the person first) if you can go onto the other side to try it. That way you won't need to worry about failing and you can instead of playing on the other side just try and read the arrows in your head to yourself. Eventually you'll get it. And always crossover on the ending, it's really hard to double step the ending.

Thanks Neomax909, but ya i can B max 300, and thanks for the advice on trip machines, i'll try that, also i'm being able to pass the song "A" on heavy, but i can't pass healing vision on heavy?, any advice, i get killed where the arrows seperate a lot, not the 8th notes, just where you have to hit, stop, hit, just can't get the timing, plz any advice would be good thanks

OH! and plz, this is outta topic, i believe but anyways, if anyone has ddr extreme jap at home, could u plz tell me what that song is, when u play the credits, it's at the very beginning. it get to half way then stops, and paranoia song plays, but anyways what's that song?

thanks

Hey hey, don't suppose anyone has some great quick tips for a novice. I don't feel like reading through 27 pages.

Best tip I've got so far is not to return to the center after the steps, though now i do have to play a lot more to get the same amount of sweat dripping, heh.

I read that already, but thanks. I'm not really a beginner anyways. I'm not quite sure what the guide is saying there though, he says to not watch the arrows and just dance to the beat...how would i know which arrows to hit though? Heh, that doesn't make any sense.

Ok well heres my thing. Ive been playing DDR fora bout almost 5 years. I weight about 190lbs and have a decent stamina (i can pass all catas). However im having trouble with what alot have been asking about in here and thats the maxes. Somehow i managed to pass max300 at the arcade with a C ONCE and ONCE only. That was like a year and a half ago. I havent passed it since, and im working on trying to pass it again, maybe even B it! The only ten footers i can pass are sakura and bag. I do have the home versions, but unfortunately not any japanese imports. So ive been practicing and been gettin farther each time (specially with max300). Anyways enough of my ranting. I want to know whats the best way to get the stamina to do those, and how do u prepare urself to move ur feet fast after the freeze. I say this because on all of the maxes i can get to the freeze, then i just blow it. I dont know why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been playing DDR (Ultramix) for almost a year now. I can see progress (I can get B's on a lot of heavy songs, and double AA's on most light and standard songs) but it seems like no matter what I do I can't AAA any song!

To get an AAA on a song you have to get all perfects right?

I use the handicaps and assists but I still always get at least 10 Greats. I have heard that Ultramix has some glitches with the scrolling of the arrows, could this be a factor? Could it be my dance pad?

i currently am not trying to beat 10's (i don't see any point; im going for PA) but i've passed max 300 like 2 or 3 times on heavy, and i would suggest just making sure u know all the steps (u don't have to memorize, but you should play it like 5 times in a row in stepmania or something to get it down so u know it really well [this goes for any 10]) then just play it on like 90% speed or whatever in training until u can do it on 100% speed

edit: oh btw when i went to the arcade today i just tried max 300 and paranoia survivor (both heavy), and passed both with B's and i've done my suggestions. this is just to support what i said
