Note I just watched the end video, that's incredible. You at least have a single digit great no bar with 50 plus pounds extra. Thats definitely an Arch0wl feat for those old school players who know lol.

Funny thing is that my perfect attack technique leans WAY more on the "visual" side than audio. Pretty sure these days it's how most people are, but back in the day I helped a lot of local players get better at perfect attack by telling them I look mostly where the stationary (target) arrows are and try to hit them juuuust before they reach there, visually. Even further, with DDR Extreme, I use the white flashes to gauge that I'm more accurate and try to correct when I start to see yellow flashes (this is actually a small reason I haven't tried Extreme Pro yet, it kinda does change the game imo). I'm actually really surprised I'm not terrible at 0.5x, lol. There's definitely some songs that I'll never be good at without speed mods (bag...), but still, 0.5x has been surprisingly fun at keeping things interesting!

@@matthewlupton1539 best time to do it, no? 🤪 Btw I'll probably never actually hit a new bench PR anymore lol. I tore my pec back in 2016 after maxing nearly 500 (luckily not til I dropped it down to 225 tho, otherwise I'd probably be kinda dead? Haha). Like a month before our wedding. That was dumb of me. Didn't even know torn pec was thing back then. So I was the type to go to the gym solo so I never maxed, but happened to have a friend with me that time (went as a guest to his fancy gym), so I went for max since I had a spotter for once. Did 2 reps of I think 475, few of 315 (was my normal, could rest on my chest as long as I needed, at the time), then POP on 225. Now I have psychological issues with the bench, lol. But also the muscle / tendon just isn't attached the same way anymore and the shoulder always feels funny now. Oh well, I just see it as it was being God's way of telling me to slow down. 🙃 Otherwise I'd have definitely already made a "Bench 300, then MAX 300" video by now 🤪

@@laystaterchips907 I'm like over a week behind on editing and uploading videos, but it's so ironic you said this... Sometime last week, I managed to re-AAA this song, but... a) on RANDOM select b) on 0.5x speed (yes, zero point five / 75bpm scroll speed) lol c) IMMEDIATELY after a BRUTAL set of sissy squats! DDR on legs days is just... excessive. And unwise lol. Hopefully I'll have the video uploaded on the sooner than later side!

⁠@@i5lee8biti feel like if you get good at 8 keys that would be excellent cardio id never stop

@@laystaterchips907 I actually used to like playing doubles waaaay back in the day (like early/mid 2000's arcade scene), but of course back then no arcades had joint premium on, and it was quite cost-restrictive. Nowadays though, I can really feel my age catching up with me when I play doubles, lol! My right knee gets wrecked quick (I had surgery on it just 3 years ago), and playing everything with the bar is just kinda... meh. Definitely great cardio if you can manage it though! But not very conducive to my body type... 😂

@@talkgoodenglish7500 I'm so sorry for your loss! Man, sounds all too similar to me and many others. I couldn't play at home because my family always lived on an upper floor of an apartment, but the whole going to the arcade instead of playing on crap soft mats.. ahh the nostalgia 😀. I also started playing in the 2000's as a teenager, but when I went off to college in 2004 and started playing more at 8 on the Break (a "legendary" spot way back in the day, they actually were test pilots for ITG before it officially came out), I watched over the years as not just me but a lot of friends of mine who also went there slowly got swallowed up by the grips of addiction... Tbh, the place, the general area, and in many cases much of the people were quite seedy to begin with. 8otB was never my hometown so I lost touch with just about everyone from there, but I do wonder how many of them made it out of that lifestyle. 😢 This is one of the reasons why I love the nostalgia of [in particular, classic versions] DDR. It kinda represents a more innocent time of my life, and sort of the reason why I made it out of morbid childhood obesity and didn't die from my various overdoses later on. And now to this day, the same silly game is helping me to stay in shape and be the perfect physical therapy for my various chronic back pain ailments. But again, I'm really sorry for your loss. If you do know anyone else who's still struggling, check out Mission Teens (I put links to them in my profile). It doesn't cost a penny and, as long as the person is actually willing and desperate, is often the last resort that actually works for many. I wish you could go back in time to prevent what happened, but just know that it's up to the person to be willing to get help and there probably wasn't much you could have done. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you haven't heard and not that you indicated it's how you feel, but as long as we don't enable the behavior, you have no reason to feel guilty. I'm just glad you can hold onto those good memories of the past! Thanks for the encouraging words too, and you stay strong too!

@@thomasmcinerney3847 that's very flattering, definitely not true, but thank you very much for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed it. 😀 And I still have no idea why this video got picked up by the algorithm lol

@@XLev450X it's just SO BAD lol

@@i5lee8bit It really is. 😂

@@nejdalej took a lot of work (and also time, before being an actual homeowner), but it was always a life dream / goal of mine to one day own a classic DDR cab... I'm glad I also got into weightlifting in the interim, because it sure opens up more ways to keep things interesting 🙂

handstand that shit

@@Verransglad you enjoyed it 🙂 yeah I can never guess which uploads will end up getting picked up by the algorithm, and tbh I definitely wouldn't have expected this one haha

Haha yes, let them MOOOOOOOOve swing swing swing swing

@@xenonium07 haha I never had home versions growing up so I never actually heard it much or played it ever, but this song always came up in my group of DDR buddies as the worst sounding DDR song ever. Apparently it made a lot of lists on the forums back in the day too lol

@@gaspump bar hugging, with style 🙃

@@delrachdubal 💀

@@delrachdubal tbh I actually never gave it serious thought. It may be a really REALLY bad idea... But maybe one day I'll see if I can get a AA or something at most 🙂 (btw, I did FC it while holding enough weight to bring my total to 300 lbs a while back - before we had our 2nd child - but yeah holding 50 lbs overhead would definitely be WAY harder)

It would be crazy but I think you could do it with practice for sure!

@@ronconmin thanks and welcome! You subbed right when I finished doing something on Euromix2 so I gave you a random shout-out at the end of a video I'll be uploading some day lol

@@iidxsakura born and raised in USA. If you mean ethnicity, then 100% Korean (my parents both immigrated to the US right before I was born). I didn't know any English til I went to Pre-K, apparently haha

Oh ok

@@Figgy20000 hahaha, AND no bar. Obviously as soon as you touch the bar the score is invalidated. And the speed mods are actually a measure of how bad a cheater you are 😉 But yeah, there definitely could be different scales based on how hard a song is to clear, and how hard a song is to score on.
