That was the 'Numa Numa' song. But I doubt you'd care anymore since your post was over 3 months ago.
Yes, well comments:
Here's some more advice. Play StepMania before playing DDR. Improve your timing and arrow reading to prepare for the dance mats. I did that and I went from Light to Heavy in a 2 weeks (very recently). |

I prefer Axe, though. It smells so good. :0) |

heyas im jus short on time atm, so i'll try and get u started..
if ur playin on the machines or hard pads? make sure u got comfy shoes that dont slip alot. if u need to use the bar? use the bar =] thats wat its for. dw if ppl call u a bar raper - its ur dollar - u decide how to use it =].
if ur waitin for a go, watch how others play - watch how they time there steps. oh oh, and (sorry if others like doin this), but on a perosnal account, dont place ur feet back to the center - that might make ur timing easier i think....
http://www.ddrfreak.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17507&start=980
the above link is another post that would probably be more helpful =]
good luck Thai_boy =] the best thing is u wanna play. keep at it =] _________________

A way you can get pumped and most likely do better is this...
Rub peanut butter on your nipples and listen to donna summers before you go to the arcade!!!

First of all, what's in this thread isn't a guide to being a master or AAA'ing every song.
These words coming from an elite player AAA'ing 50 songs now (No bar). I kinda wanna sum up what this whole thread is about so no one has to read all of this meaningless and half incorrect guide (cause I surely wished I hadn't)
Pointing out, pretty much everyone has the same understanding of this thread, PRACTICE!!!, but that's not what I want to talk about hear. I want to point out everything that is wrong that people posted here.

Personally, I think holding the bar for more than 3 seconds is considered Bar-Raping (Meaning, you can rape a lot of poopy in 15 seconds of bar holding). I've never used the bar for anything cause I prefer my own two feet to do the work. I don't hate bar-rapers, I just don't like them, but yeah I'm steering clear of this topic. I've already got several bar rapers mad for dissing their favorite little buddy.

Someone else replied with:
Scrub wrote: | crosse over. since when is it ever better 2 double step
than crosse over |
Well, this player obviously doesn't know squat about Double Stepping. Double stepping at an early level of play is no good, because you either haven't developed the muscles for speed or the turning technqiues for Crossovers. Most people have one or the other and not both until they reach a certain level of play.
Double Stepping is an advanced technique used for certain parts of songs in order to PA (Perfect Attack/Perfect Average for those of you who don't know) better, because you can't Crossover everything and still expect your PA to be perfect. Crossovers are a lot smoother most of the time, but sometimes they will make your PA suffer (Screwy patterns, Loss of balance, Awkward positioning).
Double Stepping helps me stay on beat a lot more than Crossovers do, the thing is you gotta be fast enough to do them. I don't use them all the time, but they are very important overall. My style of playing actually consist of a combination of Crossover/Double Stepping.
Recently got 46 greats and 2 misses (AA/no bar, i could do better) on PSMO doing Crossovers and Double Steps on the end runs. Not one or the other, but both. Crossingover the enitre end is very possible, but is a lot of hard turning that can easily throw your balance off, because of the speed. Double Stepping the entire end is very unlikely, kinda like End of the Century on crack. When you put both together it's a wonderful day. I constantly switch up all the time, you can't stick to just one.
Kinda like most people play on their toes, well I play on my heels the majority of the time, but not always. I have completely flat feet and play with green chucks, I have no arch in my foot so naturally I step on my heels more, but on most quick runs I play on my toes (Max 300). I constantly switch from heel/toe, I never stay on just one of them.
I was trying to get to a point, but I blabbed on for so long I forgot what it was. Oh yeah, there is no one way for anything:
Crossovers/Double Stepping
Heels/Toes
Bar/No Bar (I don't play bar, ever...)
Speed Mods/No Speed Mods (Without them I get bored, too slow)
This is more of a guide to being a master than Rampage's will ever be, cause you gotta know this stuff in order to be master and be on your way to AAA. I'm just trying to teach people something right for once. All these non-elitist trying to write guides isn't good for the ones trying to learn. I hope peoples can learn from what I've written here. I'm done for now.
I'm going to add some thoughts before I end this though:
Can anyone do the spin on Dam Dariram without getting completely dizzy? (You know, if you try to follow the pattern, how it goes into like 2-3 complete 360s).
Oh yeah, persons asking about Jackhammers, I put just about all my weight on the foot I'm balancing on while slamming the other foot down like a big jackrabbit (Thumper Style), you gotta make sure you're hitting precisely on the beat though, not too quick and not too slow (most people freak out and start spasming on the arrow).
I wish I could fix dance pads cause I'd take our pads apart and make them so perfect (I get random boos on Jackhammers, eventhough I know I didn't Stutter Step).
Too bad DDR didn't hone in on the Back Steps like ITG2 did. An extra skill that helps on DDR that most DDR players never see.
I still haven't played DDRSN, I don't feel like drving 3 1/2 hours to get to the machine.
I can't shut my damn brain off, I just have to keep writing stuff for some reason. Umm... ITG3 all the way.
DDREx killed my stamina for ITG2, which completely sucks.
But yeah I'm done for real now, write back stuff feedback to what I wrote and lets start a real masters guide, if anyone has questions, ask here and I'll try to give some advice. |

It's not really supposed to be a guide to mastering DDR:

What a poopy guide. It's probably been said before but didn't bother to read the whole threat. Of course you will get better as you practice but you don't tell people that. You give them tips that actually help. Like with gallops you could at least say something like, "Try to divide the beat into 16 parts, just divide by 2 twice. Remember one foot has to step on the arrow 1/16th of a beat after the other." Unsticky this topic! |

You know, I think we should have a real list of tips and tricks for, if not X song/Y song, the general gameplay of DDR, a database so to speak for the nuances are the little bits that make or break mastering a game, sport, skill, or anything for that matter - the things that "just practice" can't make you better. _________________

Well, I didn't feel like quoting all of Tim?'s post but I think it's a little unfair to be saying such things like "wow, this is all wrong and since I'm the master I'm going to tell you how it's right even though making the same generalizations as everyone else so I'm really no better than those that posted but since I am the master at DDR I am going to know more than these ignorant fools that have posted".
Okay, you can play better than most congrats. We all appreciate the advice but next time, please stop trying to be "better" than everyone else. Although very good advice and can be used very well for those still learning, it does come off as a slight insult to those that have been playing and know what they're doing.
Everyone has a different playing style (Bar/no bar, Crossovers/Double Step, PA/FS) so they have different advice. That doesn't mean they're WRONG, just means that way works for them. Not everyone can be a master at DDR, if that was the case then we'd just have a catastrophe on our hands. But instead people have different thresholds and tolerances when it comes to how they play. Let's just give advice and let them decide what's good and what not.
So for everyone that's new to this thread, please read the advice that people are posting (even Tim?'s it is very good advice) but let yourself choose what you think will be best for you. Trial and Error, practice allows you to test what's good for you and what isn't, work with what you can. _________________
