The first time you played DDR, did you expect to be into it like you are today? I mean i woulda never guessed I'd be able to do 10-footers but I am....

When I first started Which was a long time ago I always dreamed of beating on all of the mean teenagers that made fun of me. Well I can beat all that I can remember... Now all I need to do is become a DDR legand! (which might take a while)

Hell, I rememeber when I was comfortable on catas and I still thought I would never pass a 10 footer. Funny how friends betting you money seems to change the equation.

When I first started DDR I was horrible (I mean I wasn't able to pass BBGYL on light

). I didn't really like it because everyone was better than me but then I kept practicing and now it's my obsession

I saw it and knew I'd be playing it for a long while. Getting good at the game (or at least not sucking

) just goes with the territory of playing it a lot.

About a year ago, I first saw a girl playing DDR in Flordia and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

A few months later I tried in an arcade and never thought I'd be able to do Heavy songs. I also saw a few players around here who were, and still are, amazing. I always looked up to them, still do in fact, but mainly stayed in the shadows until NO ONE was around.

Now, about 4 months later after I started playing in the arcade I can do heavy songs. But I never EVER imagined I'd be able to a year ago ... I didn't even think i'd ever see the game again.

When I first started....
I was so bad, that I failed Upside down in basic (Back then it was basic) and Silent Hill in basic also. I would always envy the people who played in Trick (Standard) and Maniac. I would've never thought I would be playing songs like Dead End in Maniac and 10-footers. It's funny, this game is so addicting and makes you want to do better. I love DDR!!!!!!!

I didn't even think about that when I first saw it. all I really cared about was just playing the game. I never even thought about how good I could get. at the beginning at least.

I took DDR one step at a time... my plan was to play until I reached a dead end of my skill... well I haven't really reached one yet, all that has happened are large road blocks, but easily passed with lots of practice

I got through light and most of standard quickly, but never thought i'd get through heavy. well I took it one song at a time and got through most of the 7-8 footers, but was having a tough time with crossovers... and for a few months I tried my darndest to beat songs with them in it... one day it suddenly clicked and I was able to do them. My next step is stamina and speed for the Max's. I can beat them, but I only get C's and look like a fool in the process. Pretty soon my next stop will be to get AA's on them! Then SDG!! yea I have lots to go

the first time i ever saw ddr i told my girlfriend, "there's no way in hell you'll ever make me play that, i'm so clumsy it's not even fair"...so like a good girlfriend, she DEMANDED that i try it, so i did, and i passed nights of fire on a home pad on disney's rave (back in fall 01)..back then, i never thought i'd still be playing over 2 years later, and have beaten 10 foot songs and go to tourneys..and i had no idea that i'd make some of my best friends all because i had a pushy girlfriend who told me to play a dancing game one day...

I was amazed at In The Navy's maniac steps...and Paranoia Rebirth? Psh. Couldn't do it for my life, even on StepMania.

Man...I was so embarrassed to play DDR at first. I locked myself in a room so no one can see me.

i figured i'd play it untill i found something better or got bored of it. well... almost 5 years later now, im still playing. much more casually, and no tournaments or anything, but still at least once every two weeks.

First days of DDR played behind closed and locked doors. Fond memory of "how does anyone keep up with this? (Cutie Chaser light)". Took 3 weeks to get through lesson mode, though had played the game during that time more often. Remember struggling through 1 footers. Having that "wtf?" look on my face when first encountering 1/8th notes.

I hope the above shows why I didn't start in the arcade first
