Freestyling Tips

I just tried it now, and wow...I'm going to nickname it the Suicide 16...yeah I realize there's 18 steps in the whole run but 16 just sounds better. Also, the 16th steps at the end of the song are easier (duh), so I'm going to try those with spins first. Harder than anything else I've ever done in DDR.

why, funk music, of course?

all the old classics get boring fast though when you've been to one too many poppin jams.

the newer stuff is actually keepin me funky now. usher, missy elliot, jamiroquai, slick dogg's remixes and beats.

thanks for the words.

Oh yeah I forgot something..... Clark Kent the freestyler is known for his arm thingy... Where he gets his left hand and does like a wave or something with his right arm.. But he always does it facing the screen! Can someone tell me what exactly this looks llike?

I have to say the best song to start freestyling on in is Luv To me(AMD MIX) single light.

It was in Clark Kent's Baby Gimme Your Love. I have it if anyone wants it. Anyone have his My Summer Love?

kai: Unbelievable. I could have watched that for like a half hour, really useful to see what real waving is all about. Is there any basic theory behind it that could be explained, or would it just be good to start with learning how to direct/trace the wave with one hand?

"samourai": Read the rest of the thread. For a song like AM-3P, you'll want sharp and/or robotic movements, and for this version, you can work in some ass-shaking/clubbing moves or something to fit the bass (even though U1's stuff kinda sounds like crap and would never be heard anywhere outside of didder =p).

bananaphone: Twilight Zone's actually pretty fun, and repeated arrows are the shit, they give your upper body a time to show off while your foot just taps the arrow (also see: Telephone Operator). Be creative, don't put too much emphasis into the lower body. Light's easy as hell to memorize, but if the arrows are too much, go for beginner. =)

um, yeah, freestyle tips for people just getting into it.

click my siggy R3 Freestyle thing.

1.COSTUME: If you want a costume, make sure it goes to the song. I once saw a dude wearing an exterminator outfit to Boom Boom Dollar. No.

2.PROPS: If you absolutely have to have props, don't make it retarded. It HAS TO GO TO THE SONG, or at least not make someone say "Hey, why is he doing THAT?" I went with a katana, not exactly perfect for the song, but no one questioned it either.

3.MOVEMENT: Make sure your always moving, unless it's part of your routine. If you don't start actually moving until the arrows show up, you look really dumb. Take advantage of that 2-10 seconds and freestyle the crap out of it, and unless you intentionally wanna look like a robot, move FLUIDLY.

Thank, you and gooday.

BTW: Yes, I'm 14, and yes, I know I look young in that video.

So in short the idiot freakin leaves his damn footprints all over the screen all wall and let me guess.... When the person lands he lands hard on the arrows... Whoever made that stupid move should be thrown in a insane aslyum.
