Obnoxious and rude DDR players

Sorry for the double post but this needs to be said. Its basically the say all end all of this post. America has a very large population. And of that population, I would say about 85 % of the people lack common decency, manners, have personal problems so they have to take them out on other people (every person in my family except me), or are just plain rude as hell. If you notice, you run into people like this everywhere throughout the day, not just playing DDR. There is almost no way around, so we should all just accept the fact the there are many rude people out there who piss us off until the end of time.

Ugh, there was once these guys at my arcade, about my age(12 or so) I was about to play and they were playing light. Nothing wrong with that. And this guy was "wanna do a team battle with me???" I was like "do you mean versus" And then he said "no, doubles!!!" "Uh... no"

1st stage I did Trip Machine Climax(or survivor can't remembeR) standard, because I'm not that good at arcade heavy. I mean, I can pass SSLM, but I'm not AS good ate th arcade. No real problem here, until I noticed they were sitting RIGHT on the bar on the side, as if to see if I was "good enough" or something. I just ignore them.

So they sit on the other side of the machine the whole game and geniunely piss me off as I select me songs. "BLAH BLAH BLAH PLAY MAXX UNLIMITED!!! PLAY TLOM! PLAY PARANOIA SURVIVOR MAX!!!!" I can't even beat Sakura yet(as I learned 3rd stage) I finally go ahead and pick paranoia heavy to shut them up. Then they pull the same routine for the 3rd song, and I'm like "**** you!" And decide to give Sakura a try, failing 10 seconds from the end. Mainly because they kept murmuring to each other throughout the song. I was so pissed, and you know what they did then? They were like, in a tone that said "YOU SUCK!" They dared to me to play NONSTOP(not oni, just nonstop) I was all "It's going to be like normal play, but whatever" I think I chose love heart, I don't know. Then they left 3rd song, talking so loudly I got thrown off and failed!

So annoying... And everyone always assumes I need to play light because I'm 12! I once put in on standard and this girl was like "shouldn't it be on an easier diffuculty"

I also always play my last song on heavy/challenge and most likely fail. And then these people say "wow that was real good" And while I like that they like me, I always feel bad, because it's like I'm showing off...

There are only 2 annoying players in my arcade.

1) A skateboarding poser who looks like Fat Albert. He tries to freestyle with newbie songs like Butterfly and .59 and his only dance moves consists of pelvic thrusts.

2) A nerdy Jewish kid who always asks to play with others so they can keep him alive while he picks songs he doesn't stand a chance in hell of beating.

Both these guys think they're hot $#!+ at DDR when they're not even on my level, and I'm not even good.

yeah i agree skillz187...alot of people here are really rude. and my friend diego told me for a fact that if he or any of my other friends who were hispanic went with me and punched these guys that were messing with me, no matter what happened, my friends would be arrested. thats just how it is here. its so stupid that that is how it works here, but it is. my friend julio actually had that happen to him before, he was being taunted and such while playing ddr, the guy pushed him off a few times, so julio just turned around and punched him. the guy went to mall security and julio got arrested for a "Hate Crime" they said. what those guys did to me when i was at the arcade was a hate crime, but i know if i would have done anything id be right in jail.

Yesterday I went to the arcade with a few of my friends and one of my friends isn't that good, (only being able to do trick (standard)) and this kid came up and put on a bunch of mods like hidden and boost and junk. We were able to go into the menu and change it, but it was not cool all the same. It wasn't that bad just annoying. Later though he had an editted song with just butterfly steps and he was spining a bunch and he fell and hit his head really hard, so now I am a firm believer of Karma.

Last time I was at the arcade, there was this rather large guy there playing, who had broken the down arrow on the right pad earlier that day. I got up to play against him, and he pulls this crap about how he "can't play on the right pad because he feels guilty about breaking it". So we start playing, and I do fine the first couple songs, then on the last one, the bottom of my tennis shoe got caught in the crack, throwing me off beat, and I fail. The next time I played and he was there, I made him play on the right. -_- I really hope they fix that by next time I go...

Whenever Im playing the Trick oni course, I can randomly fail on Ecstasy, but instead of cursing or making a scene, I flail my arms around in a small, conservative radius, and, using my "inside voice", roar like Chewbacca. Also, showing off doesn't always require you to do unique things. Once, I started Cartoon Heroes Speed Mix without a soul watching, but once I finished, about 20 or so people were standing behind me clapping. That type of recognition is very heartwarming, and is one of four reasons I play DDR.

Nobody else was playing DDR. Seven girls walked in, ages 7-12. I was done, and was thirsty so I walked up to get a soda. Those girls got on. They looked nice. The two oldest kept saying, DDR ROCKS! DDR ROCKS! They were in light mode, doing Butterfly. The blond girl kept saying, I'm gonna get two hundred combos. They tried to show off. I got on and did healing vision( which i can do now) in standard and Matsuri Japan, and cowgirl. They were all wow, I can do that! Yeah Right!

Oh, I flip off the machine all the time. Doubly so if the pads are not decent quality.

I defiatly agree with mkv_wraithstyle. I love to play World Tour/Pop 8 (depending on the machine). Hey, if there are 5 people waiting, it's gonna be a while before I play again, may as well play whatever I want to play.

Also, I don't think swearing mid-song when breaking your current full combo on Max 300 on the last down arrow (before the freezes) is bad. Not bad at all.

I will also admit I love to sing/screw around/scream out random words in songs (i.e. "SO" in Rhythm & Police). Yes, it's annoying. Howvever, if the person playing asks me to stop, you can bet that I will stop right away. It's all about respect...and having fun.

you know what else I think is obnoxious? People flipping off ddr machines. I mean WTF!!!! It's a freakin machine. It's not gonna respond to your finger of intimidation I mean it's just plain weird and schitzo to flip off a mechanical device. It's like flipping off your toaster for making your toast too dark. If anything, flip yourself off cause you caused yourself to fail due to lack of experience, stamina, focus, etc.

Now I have more things to worry about than racists comments. I was flat out harrassed by to 12 year old black girls yesterday. They kept asking me for money so they can play, and I obviously said hell no because 1. they were ugly as hell, 2. they're 12, I'm 16 1/2, 3. they were bothering a friend of mine who was playing, and 4. NO! They kept asking me and I kept saying no, so they came back with their brother (who was exactly my size) and he told me to get off the machine. I told him to get the hell out of my face, which he did right away. But then while I was playing LOM on heavy (something I really can't beat), I got to the freeze arrow part and one of them started yelling, and the other got between me and the screen, so I obviously failed. Then they had the nerve to ask me for money again. So I told them if they wanted money so bad they should ask their pimp nicely for some extra cash, called them both stupid b.itches, and left. Its never been my intention to degrade a lady, no matter what their age was, but those to stupid little girls made contemplate hitting a women for the first time in my entire life.
