Slow Songs!!!

Ryu_Hirakashi · Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2003 9:21 am Post subject: Slow Songs!!!

Why is it that evertime i watch people play ddr they are always complaining about this song and that song being too slow??

I don't understand why people think that slow songs can't be good songs too. Granted, I don't think any of the slowest song in ddir aren't really slow songs. They are made that way for the sake of argument.

I have this song on SM called teardrop and that is a song that feels slow and is rightfully slow. I just wish there were more of these types of songs in ddr. Any comments?? And please lets get some intelligent conversation going here. I really want to know what your opinions are.

Thanks!!!

Well, I dunno this for a fact, but I hate slow songs cuz they are harder to PA for some people.

I personally like fast songs. I just like having a driving beat backing me. (This applies to ALL music, including those I play on piano and in band.) However, I have my fair share of favorite slow songs (My Summer Love, Radical Faith, Sana Mollete Ne Ente, even Remember You

, and that's just to name a few). When a song is slow, however, my guidelines for liking the song do tend to be stricter, since fast songs have speed going for them already, so I look for different things in slow songs.

BTW, "slow" for me is below 118. Songs between 118 and 137 I consider moderate speed and as for liking those the strictness of the guidelines is pretty much between that of slow songs and that of fast songs.

children, let's not turn this into speed mod argument #3209482308403289403284932840823094823948230948230948...

Anyways, I also enjoy the faster songs (i tend to like 150 and up)...although for some strange reason, Be In My Paradise and i have a secret love affair going on and it's the slowest damn song on extreme

I LOVE slow songs. I love the challenge of trying to figure out a jumble of steps, whether the song is fast or slow. Sana Morretta, my summer love, insertion, and ESPECIALLY bag. these plus no speed mods make me a happy DDRer

I like slow songs like bag and Radical Faith, but generally I don't play them because the majority of them are crappy songs like Remember You, Baby Baby Gimme Love, and Try 2 Luv U. Ick.

I'm just the opposite of alot of people on this thread. I enjoy doing slow songs rather than anything over 200BPM. It's not that I don't like those songs, I just like being able to read three quarters of the way down the screen and play around.

When I saw the .25x speed mod on the Trick Oni course, I was praying to the Konami Gods that new mods would unlock and I could play everything on .25x

Sana Morrete Ne Ente on .25x =

Well I guess since DDR's music is based on dance music I guess all dance music is generally fast. But when the guys at konami start realizing that ddr isn't about dance music anymore then things will change.

I honestly think that that dance music is just a boring genre of music now. There is just soooo much more that could be put into ddr. Then we can all have our cake and eat it too.
