it could be wrong if the guy is really trying to pass the song and you just go up there and kill the song just to show him that you're better than him is wrong. but if the guy thinks he's the shiznite and saying he's better than everyone there when he's doing something like spin the disk standard u can't help but show him up.

I don't play the exact song after someone fails it, Unless it's a song I REALLY wanted to play and they happened to use it as their last/failing song.

However, if it's PS/PSM/PSMO or anything MAX. I'll usually do that song, especially LOM.

nerd.gif I don't think there's anything wrong with it if you don't act like some jerk who is self centered. When I do it it's more of testing my own strength. I love to do it to people who irritate me but for no apparent reason, it's definetely wrong. What if you got embarassed by some hot shot? E19.gif

If someone failed a song I wouldn't make it my first song to play or anything... maybe second or something if I really wanted to play it.

I think it's a little rude if a person plays a song someone else just failed just to show them up, but if that wasn't the intention then it's fine - it's not your problem how other people read your actions.

I've had that happen to me, before, though. I was playing Tsugaru (I would play it as my third song of every game and fail, because I was determined to pass it - I finally did, about a month ago, but that's beside the point), and, predictably, failed.

Then the person who had their token on the token line got up and looked at me, kind of smirking, and picked Tsugaru and AAed it. They gave me this incredibly smug look and then played a lot of much harder songs. It really made me angry, because in that case, they *were* trying to show me up.


I know they paid for that game, and I know they're perfectly entitled to play whatever they want, but the attitude was totally unnecessary. disgust.gif

But like I said - it's all about why you do it. If it's just because you planned to play that song anyway, then it's not rude at all, just coincidence.


yeah i agree with him its disrespectful to show off to the person who had just failed the song its kind of a double standard if you think about it i myself dont theink its nice one person did that to me and i had to keep myslf from wanting to break his face frust.gif (i have anger management problems biggrin.gif E1.gif riiight.gif )

Sometimes someone will play a song and it makes me really want to play it. Most of the time though, if I'm about to do that, I at least wait until the second song. And if the person is there watching, I'll ask the if it's okay.

I had that happen to me once. I was working on my crossovers on Spin The Disc, and just stepped up to Heavy so I wasn't great, but not bad either. It was my last song, since it was a heavy, and I had only played it like 4 times.

I got a D on it.

This punk kid behind me walks up and yells to everyone:

"This lame a$$ can't even do Spin The Disc! Watch this!"

Slapped in his quarters and AAed it. I even think it was an SDG.

I just left, went to another arcade, and played it again. Got a C that time.

I was mad about it for a while, but really the number of a$$hole DDR players is pretty minimal to the friendly ones. So fsck him. Not that it really matters in the long run.

One time my friend and i went to the arcade, and as we waited for our turn we were deciding which songs to play(the nearest good arcade is far from me so i didn't want to waste it). We saw the people just before us playing Xenon beginner and failing miserably...probably new to the game. Anyway, when i heard the song i suddenly wanted to play it. Our turn was right after that, so we went up and chose Xenon heavy. I think i FCed it, not sure, might have made a good or two. Anyway, i turned around to ask my brother something at the end, and all the other people were gone. I think they got discouraged or something... frown.gif

I usually wouldn't spank a n00b and rub their face in it, but there is one thing that I believe should set off any pro DDR player. SHADOW DANCING!! This guy(obviously a HUGE n00b) came up to me while I was scrolling through songs and when I had stopped on Tsugaru he said that was really tough. Well, I put it on heavy and began. He stood on the other pad and tried to do it for like a fourth of the song and finally gave up. Luckilly I was nice enough not to rub it in his face, but he decided to take the smart route out the door so I didn't work myself up to it.


I DONT LIKE SHADOW DANCERS!!!!

i kinda did sumthing like that but it wasnt exactly showing them up. im pretty new to DDR so i dont know lots of songs i can do. the guy before started playing Healing Vision Angelic Mix and it looked cool but he failed. i went up and played a song then played HV only to fail way before he did. i was embarrassed but was able to laugh about it. i dont think the other guy liked me much and though i was some stupid noob that failed to show him up though. oh well laugh.gif

Nothing wrong with playing a song someone failed in the game before if you really want to....but sometimes it's hard to tell if the person is trying to show you up or not. If there's a song i REALLY want to play and the person before me made a bad job of it i'll at least not play it 1st song and maybe not at all if it's not one of my favs/depending on the person, because i feel really guilty about making others feel down.

I had a couple of people do that to me before... i don't really try to remember all the bad times :/ These days i've gotten better so it doesn't happen as often ^^ sometimes in reverse. There's this one guy who has some sort of problem with me and insists on competiting with my song scores :/ he plays on 1.5x, me on 1x normally. But if i'm having a bad day or just in the mood for better PA or something i will use 1.5x. So one day i'm just mucking around for a song set mainly on 1.5x and i get 12 greats on Sexy Planet Oni. I was like 'OMG i almost SDG'd it, thats my best score on it'. So next game this guy chooses Sexy Planet Oni no doubt E15.gif He ends up not even getting an AA because he gave up halfway thru the song after getting about 20 greats in the first half :/ If that wasn't enough i was close to passing LoM at the time and so had been practicing it that day, so last stage he also chooses LoM and gets about as far i did the time he saw me play (but minus bar, i'm not physically capable of holding my stamina that long so i have to use it for harder 10s E12.gif). Blah, since then i have passed MaxX and LoM and he has passed neither...

Still sometimes it's depressing when people are trying to show you up and not suceeding frown.gif especially when they do it consistently.....

The only time I'll play a song after someone else failed it or whatever is when I hear it, usually they're on standard, and I want to hear it again and try the steps on heavy....some guy, musta been 34, picked cartoon heros, and I've barely heard this song before, so he fails, I go up, and get a B on heavy, he was on standard, so he gets all pissed off and says I was trying to be better than him....this is besides the point, but if I'm 20 years younger than you, and I school you in DDR, I'm at least a little bit better right? I don't think I needed to "try" to be better than him. There is no try, there is only do, or do not...but yeah, people have intentionally shown me up like that a few times, back in my Light Mode days....

do you think it could be that he is challenging himself more than he is challenging you? I know one guy that can do LoM on extra stage. Now I know my limitations, but when someone does a song like that, sometimes i will pick it 3rd stage just to see how far i can get.

Im not unsuccessfully trying to show him up, but then again my playing level varies greater to his than yours varies to that one guy.
