Your DDR WEAKNESSES

Well? You have them. EVerybody has them, and they're all different.

-I can't hold a combo. It doesn't matter what song, I can almost NEVER FC it. This ticks me off SO much on Extreme/2, cause you need an FC to get a AA.

-I tend to use the bar quite a bit. Not alot, but every so often on some harder songs, or whenever I get tired. Only do it at the arcades, though.

-I'm a horrible Doubles player. I love Doubles, but I can't play over Standard worth a darn.

Well, there's mine, what's yours?

---

10 footers - stamina don't hold long enough for me ... GRRR MAX300 (only pass CS) and PARANOiA Survivor (never passed)
Doubles - slowly getting there but still crap
Bar - I don't use bar or even know how to use effectively; but I'm a no bar player.
Step-Step-Jump - I can't do this well. (hello End of the Century)

Stamina: Gosh I think anyone can pass any song if they have tons of stamina.
Step-Jump-Step-Jump on fast songs: These steps make my legs not want to jump >.>
2x speed on fast songs: 2x speed and Hysteria/hysteria whatever = too fast cant dance.
Combos:If I'm ever lucky I'll Full combo.
Bar Pimp: I pimp the bar rarely but If I know I'm going to fail I use one arm. Bad me bad. And pass!
Other then that I'm good. No doubles $2 for three songs nevar

Stamina I have asthma sooo yea, it's a problem.
Crossovers Can you say, screw The Saints Go Marching?
Really bad steps like Stoic on Oni or A on Oni.

Jacks, especially at 190+ BPM. I'm looking at you, Dead End Standard =/
*needs to A that song for a Recall challenge*

Stamina. I still have a long road ahead of me, and I can only play songs like Burning Heat/So Deep every couple of hours or so at best, and preferably after a meal once the energy has gotten to my legs. Actually it's more like once a day.

The bar. I will not use it except to grab with one hand if I lose my balance, or if I run out of energy and am despirately trying to convince my feet to keep moving long enough to pass the song.

Pad error. At my current level, my AAs are right at the cutoff. In Extreme's scoring system, misses can and do rob me of extra stages even on songs like Let's Groove 2x. It's very, very frustrating, and if I had better PA then it wouldn't be as much of a problem.

Reverse. Need I say more?

Oh man, I forgot about Stamina and Reverse! And those are two of my bigger weaknesses too!

Kryptonite.

Stamina I have asthma sooo yea, it's a problem.

I don't believe that for a second... I have pretty bad asthma and I've passed up to and including every 12 on ITG1 and ITG2... I've also passed every 10 on DDR that I've played (except Fascination Maxx and Chaos)....

My weakness is Gallops... I can do them, but my timing is usually a bit off.

Also... stuff that's like really quick left, right, left&right I can be a bit horrible at (in Tell 12, Baby Don't you love me 9.... sorry don't have DDR examples... if they are slow, then they are easy)

EDIT: ddr example... end of the legend of max...

I can't read flip or tornado too good

---

It's probrobly Stamina for me. I'm slowly working on it, but It'll take some more practice to get to do 10 footers again... I was once capable of passing PARANOiA Survivor... but I haven't been in the habit of playing, sooooo I suck right now... lol

Another one for me is Multiple steps at the same time *coughparanoiacough*

Stamina - I tend to pass some songs that drain your stamina quit fast but then thats were the Max songs come in, maybe songs faster then 300bpm are my total weakness, or should i say songs that require a lot of stamina i can't even pass So Deep on Heavy i get half way to the end of the song then thats when i just stop and lose. maybe casue i can't move my feet that fast yet.

1/8 Steps - Or i think, the arrows that follow each other like So Deep, or the arrows that are like up-up-up then down-down-down i can't do these at songs higher than 170.

Paranoias - The paranoia borthers i can't even pass one on Heavy dam these songs and there speed, and step-step-jump arrows, and the 1/8 arrows.

I don't know the arrows well and i don't know if those arrows the 1/8 arrowas the ones that follow each other like i said up-up-up-up then rigth-rigth-rigth

playing the game-i have no access to a machine and all soft pads suck

seriously, my main weakness is PA. i've passed almost all official songs in DDR and ITG, the ones i havnt are stuff from universe, but if i can pass pandemonium i think i can pass tsugaru or-if-is mix ONI or return of the toe jam ONI. all i need to do is work on my PA and i'll be golden.

i also need to work on my double play. its been so long sense i played it i doubt i could do PSM ONI any more.

Okay, My Weaknesses:

My Stepping Style: I play like I am a gazelle, you can see that the best in A (Heavy) with the tripple 1/8th notes in the middle of the song. I just push all my energy inside and waste my stamina.

Stamina: Due to my energywasting stepping style I am at the edge of 10 footers as I passed Sakura, Max300, QoL Expert, Remember December Expert, My favourite Game Expert, Spin Chicken Expert... But Tribal Style, Fleadh Uncut, PARANOiA Survivor, LoM and so on I collapse in the last third or forth part of the Song.

Gallops, especially with Crossovers: See Rhythm and Police X.x

Flip: Goddamnit! I just can't read that... I trained my mind to recognise the lines so I can read Tornado, Drift, Float and all the stuff... But Flip destroys it all.

P.S. For those who want to train their reading with mods... Try playing ITG Marathon courses. I especially recommend Driven, Sisters and Trance.

Turns: Can't do turns for beans. I end up stepping up for downs...
Calf Strength: I don't really have problems with cardio, but about 7/8s through MAX300 (SMMM), my calfs start to burn.
Doubles: I can barely do Star Gate Heaven (EXPERT)...

for those of you having trouble with doubles, learn to crossover if you havnt already. you can easily get away with double stepping on singles, but on doubles it kills you.

a great song to learn doubles crossovers on is V(heavy). it has some easy ones, and its got some good streams to learn on. its an 8, but an easy 8.

for intermediate crossovers, see janejana. its like rhythm and police, CSFILSM, or do you remember me, but at 130 bpm.

for advanced crossovers, HVAM and dead end. HVAM has no turns like single, just some really hard crossovers. dead end shouldnt be an 8. its harder than max300 doubles and thats a 10(which i can FC, dead end i cant).

once you learn all of the doubles crossovers, you'll be set. when learning them, grab on to both bars from the middle and hold on for dear life. trust me, you almost have to.

and lastly, i would like to point out that PSMo doubles is straight stream, none of the crazy crossover goodness it has on singles. if you have the stamina and can read high speeds(or X1) then try and pass it for ego boost +3.

My weakness

Stamina:
I need to be faster to clear FaXX.

Level 10 songs:
The only one lvl 10 that I cleared on (HVY and ONI)is SAKURA. HVY:A

Crossovers:
That's the worst part of my DDR weakness!!

Saint Goes Marching, exotic ethnic....

Slow BPM I have a hard time doing bag on standard on 1X. On 5X, I can get a A on heavy.

A LIST OF UNLUCKY911'S DDR WEAKNESSES

10-FOOTERS
I run out of air prematurely although I've passed every single 10-footer on singles except for PSMO, and the only 10-footer I've passed on doubles is Sakura.

HIDDEN
I can't do HIDDEN recently. Maybe it's because I haven't been playing DDR as often as I did.

SUDDEN
I could do SUDDEN on really slow songs like MY SU MMER LOVE and SANA MOLETTE, but not on any other songs.

ACTUAL DANCING
I can't dance. I DDR, but I could never actually dance even if I tried...

AN ASSLOAD OF SONGS ON DOUBLES
10-FOOTERS except SAKURA and BAG x 3
