hi, ive been stuck at 9s for like the last 8months or so, i cant pass any 10s, not even sakura or bag =( and my PA sux as much as it did probably like 8months ago, so im not getting any better at that, so im pretty much like 70%PA doing 9s on 1.5x for a very very long time, and its still kinda fun but i think ive reached my limit at DDR, so should i quit?

Er...that'd be more of your decision, no? Maybe just take a vacation or something. You might get strange replies if you ask random people.

Yeah, you should retire or take some time off or something. If you feel you accomplished what you wanted, do it. If your not doin well, take some time off and come back. And I don't mean by just a day maybe a week.

You could always try playing with mods like Sudden, Shuffle, and Hidden. Or move to Double, if you haven't already.

Well... Usually when i seem like i'm not improving... I just kinda take a break for awhile... Then I would come back later and regain my interest in playing again... I dunno why you would quit just cuz you're not getting better... I mean... that's really not a good reason to quit... lol My friend said once that he would quit DDR because he thought school would get in the way... but he came back to play again after the summer

I never considered giving it up, but I as well am at a plateu (I dunno how to spell it) and i can't get anywhere off of that little 9 footer thing as well.

Don't quit.

Just go back and play the fun songs, that's what I do. When I get tired of playing difficult songs and pies I'll just play Let's Groove on Standard and spin my heart out.

Hey dude, whatever floats your boat.

Don't let the 9's or 10's beat you. Its not like IIDX when you think you're good, then you play a song like 5.1.1....Another...that's an ego killer

I have been playing for the past 7 months and I still can't pass 8 footers consistently. You just gotta keep on playing and you will improve. Never quit, it will only make things worse. Improvement rarely happens in a timely manner. Improvement is something you must keep on driving for even if you don't seam to be getting anywhere. The ability to keep on playing and ignore discouragment is what seperates for example: A person who is really good at playing the guitar and a person who doesn't play guitar that often.

I know I can get better, but I don't know how it's possible to actually GET any better. But I just keep playing and having fun, then suddenly i'm improving without even realizing it. Just a month ago I couldn't do 8 and 9 footers. Now i've passed Max 300 and Maxx Unlimited. Now I just gotta find a damn DDR Extreme arcade game and play the rest of the ten footers. *shudders* Paranoia Survivor Max..

thanks for the replies, they were very nice, right now i just play for fun pretty much, but the problem is that i dont know anybody that plays so not having any ddr friends makes it not as fun , u know what i mean? so i guess ill just play like once a week or so whenever i go to the arcade because i go by there pretty much at least once a week, ok thats all

dont quit!!!

the whole point of heavy/maniac mode is for the ppl who are bored wit standard. If you dont like the catas, then go back to standard/trick for a while. Standard in my opinion, is my favorite mode. steps not too hard, not too easy. so either take a break, or go back to standard/trick.

You also must remember one thing...that DDR isn't always about how close to AAA can you do a 10-footer...DDR is all about having fun while in a way "exercising". Can I play and pass 10-footers myself yes, and quite well....but I'm not a big competitor for PA...I prefer the "Dance" part of Dance Dance Revolution. my actual difficulty level if you had to associate me with one would probably be Paramount (7 footer for the new schoolers

)

I can PA Catas and what not with the best of them....but I prefer the Freestyling...if you've lost touch on how to have fun when playing the game because you are too into trying to pass the 10-footer without even enjoying the song that comes along with the steps...this will give you the feeling to quite

so in the famous words of the Paranoia Cheerleader....

"BREAK IT ON DOWN!!!"
