Upside is he will be really good at LOM later in his DDR career.

But until then he should work his way up. AS SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE. PA 7's and move from there.

havent been that out of breath in a while.

i dont play ddr anymore and useually my sets sonsist of a 6-9 step a 10 i love and an 11 because 11's are fun ^_^ i guess\ ill just work on keeping beat while stepping and maybe start stomping full time i hardly ever do so when i do i mess up, see greats in PA theme XD the stomping threw me off

It might be an internal syncing issue.  If you feel that you were on beat, but got lots of greats, retry the song focusing less on the music and more on the technicality of the steps.  Normally I say never play a song twice in a row, but when I need to get my syncing reset to a different version, I'll usually play the same moderate level (8 or 9) song twice in a row or more until I get a good score on it.  If I don't do that, it will take me about 4 hours of constant play to adjust, and that isn't fun at all.

I think you said you play on the keyboard too, and that's probably the problem right there.  Your internal syncing is possibly set for your stepmania.


EDIT (I don't take credit for this wisdom; if this works, thank zeppy):
If that doesn't help, another thing you might want to try is aiming to get as few Excellents as possible, and not even caring about greats.  My great counts are always way lower with marvs on because I try to marv attack.

Oh, and I think I have, like, a 96.xx on PA theme, and I SDG 8's and easy 9's; that songs rhythms are weird.  You might want to practice some different easy songs for accuracy.  Touch Me is a pretty easy one for me to time. (in fact I need to make sure I play that.  My old home pads broke 2 songs after I got a 97.96% (read: highway robbery) on it and I haven't tried it again since.

well i have heard things about r21 having issues...
 
as for playing on key its not really sm its itg2pc and how would it be different? i sat for like an hour syncing that damn thing >_<

R21 only has issues with upgrade cabs, and you have a dedicated cabinet so that shouldn't affect you. On our machine, everything became really late or early. (mostly early) When I played on an R21 dedicab everything felt really, really easy because it was all on beat.

Timing windows might be different.  I didn't realise you were using ITG2pc.

I reassured my title as best Didderer in Remond Not much of an accomplishment though >.> More people need to play DDR in my town.

Well, I'm still the best didderary (check the grammer: Dance Dance Revolutioner, or Dance Dance Revolutionary?) in Milwaukie. ;P  In fact, now, I completely dominate.  I used to just be a little over the competition when I first claimed the title.  Nearest superior is in Oregon City.

Anyway, I think the solution is more for you to come to the DDR than for the DDR to come to you. ;P

Can I have Portland? I mean there's NO one that plays anymore...

Can't do that for another year D: unless it's visiting people

You might have to fight zeppy over it.  You've probably managed to get better than him by now though, unless he's been practicing without telling anyone.

Nikki: I wouldn't mind you visiting.  Just do so every weekend and we're set.  :wink:

zeppy doesn't play though... he thinks DDR is a waste of time.

A'ight then go for it.
