Looks like a guy punching one of his friends. Seems perfectly nominal to me.

ok getting back on to topic if the shadower comes up and starts in the middle of your play then wait till the end of the song to ask them to please not to do that. but if they do it anyway on the next song apply the meathod shown above

(shouldnt this be in the arcade forum?

)

I politely ask them to stop. They normally do after this.
Then, I forcefully ask them to stop.
Failing that (i.e. if they're jerks), I push them off the pad. They usually get the idea.

god, i should have done something like this to these two kids that were playing DDR at the arcade when i was there, they were playing heavy, but they could barely pass 7 footers so when i started doing stuff like tsugaru, max 300 and the legend of max, i had to deal with them coming on the pad and trying to shadow me, but they'd shadow like three arrows and be horribly off beat. they did this once every four arrows or so and it was pissing me off to no end. asking them politely would've done no good cause the kids thought they were god sends, one of them was bragging to me and said "watch this" then proceeded to pick stuff like hidden, dark, reverse x8 on heavy even though i noticed his friend had none of that stuff on and was also on heavy, and he was like "hell yeah, here i go, watch" :|

I straight up ask the person (politely) to get the f*ck off my pad.

Even though, you know, I don't own the machine or anything.

Ouch, get some longer shorts.

I feel sort of bad for him though, because everyone was making fun of him.

Unless I'm doing my stealth song, a max, a survivor, R&P, or Tsugaru, I can usually tune them out.

How entertaining. I've had the urge to do this many-a-times to people in an arcade I go to.. playing a song, and suddenly someone hops onto the other pad and starts dancing horribly. Only thing that has stopped me is the arcade clerk who I'd imagine wouldn't be too pleased.

There's so many things I want to do to shadowers (maim them, neuter them, bite them, shoot them, verbally assault them, etc), but I usually play on a difficulty too hard for many of the shadowers. My freinds are respectful so they don't pose a prob.

Actually he missed a lot of arrows and really sucked at punching. Which is why I implied it was just staged.

Play using two pads next time. This always work.

This one guy got mad at me because I was on the other pad watching his friend play.

When it was my turn to play, he would be shadowing me. I ask him to get off, so he wouldn't.

I told him that if he doesn't get off, I'm going to force him off the pad.

Anyway, When I was playing Sakura on heavy...
at the end of the song, I ask him : Why did you stop, during the song?

He told me that he dont want to act cool.

So it was his turn, I found out he suck on Sakura and Cowgirl.

Pff... If you want to shadow, please make sure you're not shadowing someone that playing on hard difficulty. Making others look bad.

I would use the bar, but the arcade I go to, people be always be touching the bar while I was playing.

Time for BEER...
