The Official Pump It Up Thread

Pennsylvania has no DDR/ITG machines. Never will. However, we do have Pump (probably because all the places that have Pump are not arcades/cheap) everywhere.

The first time I played Pump, was, ironically, right after the first time I played DDR. At DisneyQuest on vacation two years ago. After we came back, we bought DDR as a form of exercise.

The second time I played was at the Dave & Buster's in Pittsburgh. I ran around the entire games area looking to find a DDR machine. But I found a PIU Zero machine.

The hilarious thing is, even though I've gotten better at the game since then, my limit is still a 7. But people still stare at me and gawk.

When we went to the Philadelphia D&B, I got a crowd of 20 people playing "don't bother me" (my favorite song =P) and they kept saying "omg" and "how does he do that"?

PIU has good stepcharts and great songs and the BGAs are killer.

But PIU < DDR < ITG. =P

EDIT : I killed this thread!

Still trying to get better, with all the crappy machines here in NJ. Ugh. I guess my best score is a B on Dignity Crazy, stage break off (well, it was the first song...) which is pretty good I think. Some songs still blow my mind though...I'm talking to you, LIADZ.

so i went to play NX yesterday....it was the first time i'd played pump in like, months. the cabinet was an upgraded DX cab, so the pads weren't exactly the most amazing thing in the world(registering holds was a doggy), but it worked pretty well overall. i also noticed the arcade put the bars on backwards(as in the parts that stick out on the end are going into eachother), but like i said, it was decent.

1 thing i didnt like about NX was that some songs were incredibly loud and some were nearly impossible to hear. like, i'd play Fly and i could barely hear it but when i play Go, it was more than loud enough. very confusing. also for some reason, with our upgrade it will like not respond for the first 3 seconds of a song...its really weird, and on some songs you'd almost fail because of this. idk what the deal with that was.

still, overall, NX was totally awesome and i hope to go back and play it again soon!

edit: this is jpoppyz post. BX^3 was over here last night and stayed logged in i guess. haha.

I only have access to an exceed 2 here :/, on top of that there's not many people here who like pump at all :/ so running a tourney is pretty hard.

I did this just today, it was with breakoff but im still pretty happy with it:

Anyone here from san diego california? Theres a brand new NX cab in a new place called La Bellas cafe/pizza whatever. Its located near the Chula Vista mall. Nice place, anyway, anyone seen the new cab? looks pretty damn futuristic, I dont really play pump but I felt like I had to try it just because of the damn good presentation. Its 75 cents to play and the pads are PERFECT.

KOFFreaK, I've actually played on your machine......while it was on display at the ASI convention in Las Vegas this year, haha. La Bella's owners bought it at the con.

If you're lucky, you might run into Overdeath there, who is one of the Korean stepmakers for the game. He's currently living there in San Diego.
