Girls and DDR

[Jupichan]

I know the game can be played by anyone. If you think only boys or only girls are allowed to play it, then you're a twat.


I will, however say, that most of the people I know who play DDR well are boys. Perhaps it's the supposed competitive streak they have. I've seen two girls that are "omgwtf amazing;" whereas I've seen six or seven boys at that level. (In person, that is.)


For those that don't know, I'm female, and I'm just starting to get myself onto eight-footers. If I'm having a good day, I can manage one or two niners as well.

i don't mind if girls are great at DDR, i think it's awesome. i'm not sexist or anything but i totally feel bad when i get my arse handed to me by a girl... that or some kid who is way younger than me. *hangs head in shame* , but still i play for the fun of it and that's all that matters. no need to get cocky and start a fight.

I think guys tend to underestimate me because I'm a girl. I was at the arcade and selected Max 300 as my first song and the guy behind me said something like 'oh this'll be quick.' The look on his face was priceless after he saw me pass it lol.

Girls playing DDR? Well...i guess since they're allowed to vote and drive now-a-days they think they can play Beatmania games as well. Well I've got news for you ladies...you can't play DDR unless you put in the $0.50 - $2.00 to play. And you'll always fail the song unless you step on the squares when the arrows pass the bar on the screen... Do you understand what I'm saying?

My question is.....if women can climb mountains,run marathons,become body builders,cyclers,and swim super huge distances. Why the hell is it so hard to find girls that can own some 10s?

Don't tell me that 99% of the girls in the community are scared to actually sweat? I find that to be complete BS!!

Actually, I was reading about the New York Marathon a while back, and I found out that it was won by some woman from Africa. Goddanm!! Those africans sure can run. Women,children....it doesn't matter. They will own anybody on foot.

Now we need women like that who can play DDR. They would be truly scary.

absofrigginlutely

i can guarandamntee that most of the people that say in this forum that girls are not DDRers are either trying to get attention, or suck at DDR. Ive live in Sacremento, CA and there is not alot of DDR here. no tourneys in Sac, crappy machines, we fend for ourselves. But that doesnt stop me from seeing a girl own some tens. i picked standard she picked heavy, she killed me. but still, if you took all of the people in the US, and took the sucky:good ratio of all boys and all girls. the girls would have a higher percentage of unbelievable players compared to the sucky ones because theyre motivated by sexists that say they cant do it!! you can give me your reasons about why girls shouldnt play DDR, personal message me in fact, ill prove you wrong and then say who, theyre point, and how i proved them wrong on this forum.

boo-ya. bring it, youre wrong, everyone agrees with me except YOU

Now that I come to think about it, I do remember this one girl who was danm good back in the 3rd mix days. She lived in Jersey and she was in the first tourney I was every in.

She was a danm good doubles player. I've yet to reach her level of skill at doubles. How long as it been? I can't remember her name for the life of me since nobody has heard anything from her.

Sorry if it slipped my mind before. Better late than never.

I'd love to take her on now, since I've improved soooo much since those days.

Ryu, was that Jackie? She was a legend around and was good even before I got into the game.

[Ryu_Hirakashi]

[Julie QQQ...?]

Yeah, I never got to see her play, because she had stopped playing just as I started getting into it. But at that time, I think EVERYONE was jizzing themselves over the fact she could play Afronova Stealth or Mirror or some crap like that, and getting phenomenal scores, too.
