ok, i really luv freezes...esp on the maxes...like on unlimited...they are hard, but fun.

what i hate tho, is people who say they don't like freezes, and turn them off, then say what grade they got on the song w/o them. b/c whether or not u like them, it is a bunch harder to play w/ them than to have them off...

I personally like the freeze arrows
but I weigh about 105 pounds, and can never pass the longer freeze arrows
like the ones in the middle of the maxxes

I like freeze arrows. They can really catch u off gaurd (which is good cuz i like hard surprising stuff). I especially like them when there are other steps with them or when ur close to failing. They really help my grade.

Wow. I haven't been to these boards for half a year, and alot of the posts are still there. (Best shoes, What song should be here, etc. etc.) Anyway, I love freeze arrows. They add a new dimension to the game, and are great for FS.

I like the freeze arrows. It gives you more varities on the steps. I do better with freeze arrows anyways...

Freeze arrows are evil to me. While I do think they are DDR's version of the devil, that doesn't stop me from playing songs that don't have too many in them. It adds enough of a new dimension for the songs that use them and doesn't strictly rely on consistent motion to hit arrows.

It is nice to be able to toggle them on/off depending on personal preference. There are enough problems in life without having to worry about doing a complete foot plant on an arrow and using the other foot to hit the residual arrows

I actually love the Freeze arrows, they provide me with a challenge. I really hate it sometimes when I hit the Freeze arrow and it doesn't register and come out NG. I also think for those who turn the freeze off it doesn't really neccessarily mean you passed the song.

Freeze arrows are awesome. It makes you do certain series in ways you would never do them if you didn't have to keep one foot down.

I'm not really a fan of them. Unless their really short and don't involve hitting any other arrows while your holding a freeze. My main reason for this is that, at least at my arcade, holding a freeze is kinda hard for me. I'm a little lightweight and unless I really make an effort to put all my weight on the arrows, or hold the bar for added leverage, I lose freezes rather easily. And it REALLY bugs me to see NG's pop up even though I'm on the freeze correctly, just not pushing down with enough weight.

I have a love-hate relationship with freeze arrows.

Hate 'em

at the arcade. My 95-pound stature just doesn't apply enough pressure to get an OK on any long freeze arrow unless I press down really hard. They are the one thing I dread when playing at the arcade.

edit: OK, now that I can hold through the majority of the freeze arrows I do at the arcade, I'm starting to like them there. Still, I'm not that fond of them...

Love 'em

at home. This is why I play with soft pads: freeze arrow registry. Freeze arrows add an extra challenge to the songs. Especially my favorite freeze arrows listed below:
Ordinary World: crossover or turn around. I like turning around on the last one, but the first one leads right into an 8th note stream... really, 7 feet? More like an 8...
Candy*: Requires you to think about which foot to place on the up arrow when doing the up-down jumps.
Sandstorm (Standard): Very tricky.
And, of course, I love littering my edits with freezes that force you to turn around.
