You started playing light...

You started playing Standard...

You started playing Heavy...

You passed your first 10(and which one was it)...

You get your first AA

you got your first heavy AA

For me I started light right away, beginner was just to easy, then about two or three months later I started playing a few standard songs. Then about 2 or 3 more months I passed holic for my first time, then butterfly, lets groove etc.(this all started febuary) and I just recently passed Sakura on Heavy. I only have AA'd Lets groove light during a freestyle and Witch Doctor standard messing around.

I am just interested how quickly other people started getting good at the game, see if I am coming along at a good pace, or if I should have already passed PSMO laugh.gif yeah right like that'll happen anytime soon

Light: FIrst try

Standard: Second try (You don't have to believe me, but it's true)

Heavy: 1 month

First 10: Bag 4 months. If Konami calls it a 10, I'm counting it

First AA: 3 months, Let's Groove I think, but don't quote me

First Heavy AA Let's Groove. My first AA was on Heavy because at first I cared nothing for PA at all so whenever I could A a song, I then tried it on the next difficulty.



Now for the unaddressed questions.

First "real" 10: Max300 6 months with a C

First 9-foot AA: Frozen Ray, 1 year (Again, I never cared about PA for a while)

FIrst 10-foot AA: Sakura, 18 months, and now I score songs like Paranoia Survivor way better. Sakura is beastly hard to PA for me.

First Heavy AAA: Home version, Your Rain (Extreme), but arcade? Silent Hill Oni. 3 freakin' years. My rhythmic accuracy progresses slower than anyone I know.

So yeah, I progress relatively slow, but hey, I progress and it's fun. I will never be known in the dance community for my skills or probably not known at all for anything, but hey, just keep at it. It's worth it.

Light: Right away
Standard: 6-8 days
Heavy: Less than a month
First 10: MAX300, 2 days ago, got a C, and I was playing for 2 months and a few days.

I guess when you played keyboard/controller for a year and a half then played 2-4 hours a day on pad, I got good quickly. ^.^

It took me forever to progress and go anywhere with DDR.

Beginner- at least played this for a week (im not even kidding)
Light- Maybe a Month (played a couple easy things on Standard aswell)
Standard- 2+ months (this was the most fun period I had in my DDR days)
Heavy- 3-4 months I finnaly made it to heavy.

First 10- Sakura/Bag with a terrible grade im sure (I still suck at Sakura I get more NC's than like Max 300) dumb slowdown always gets me..

First AA- probably Kick the Can Light or Standard on Extreme US

First Heavy AA- Probably Kick the Can on Extreme US

There was a bit more time in between those dates because the crappy US Extreme Arcade machine we had decided to have a meltdown and luckily for us got replaced by Extreme Jp.

It also probably would have helped me progress a bit faster if I used speed mods like I do nowadays as I went from DDR 10's to my first ITG 12 in about a week.

I started playing Light right away, when I got my Extreme 2 bundle...

It only took a few days to get to Standard, maybe a week

and then a month later I was on Heavy.

I don't remember when I passed my first 10, but it was Sakura. >_< I hate that chart.

First AA... uh... 1998 Standard, I think? biggrin.gif

And then first Heavy AA was Quickening. It was also my first Heavy AAA laugh.gif
