what was your first Impression of someone playing ddr? mine was back in march or april 2004 I saw this guy playing R3 and I was like "this game sucks and is stupid how could you humilate yourself like that!!! comes to find out that I didnt see the true nature behind it All I saw was a bunch of arrows going up a screen just like anyone else who doesn't play the game then a few months later I got into it and can't get out of it . not even if I tried Im addicted whenever I see a machine I have to play because It has become life to me.

You never like something until you try it.

In December 2001 I think it was I saw a guy playing Boom Boom Dollar on Maniac and I tohught, "That looks like SO much fun! And the Dude looks so cool!"

I told myself that one day I would be able to do that...and now I can! Too bad Boom Boom Dollar ain't on arcade machines anymore.

I saw two tiny Filipino schoolgirls step up to a DDR 3rd Mix machine in their uniforms, and I was like, sure, they tiny, let's see how this game works.

Then I saw them press the buttons all funny and step like maniacs and it gave me a heart attack.

It took me a year to get the courage to play.

The first time I saw somone play DDR they were playing some crap on light, and I thought "I could do that. That person sucks." And I could. And he did.

my first impression was watching this guy tear up paranoia rebirth on the 3rd mix , at universal a few years back. i was , amazed to say the least. i thought i had to try it but not after that guy just played an awesome set with a grade no less then A. so i didnt play and then about a year later when i pratically forgot about it, i happened to find some freestyle videos by the A-Team on accident, and i was hooked. i had to play, so i ordered DDR Max with 2 crappy soft pads

When I saw my friends playing it, I said I could never see myself doing that. Now, whenever Im at an arcade that has DDR, thats basically all I play.

I saw this guy play Exotic Ethnic. With all the crossovers it made him look like he was FLYING. I wanted to be able to do that and show off, so after that, I was hooked.

When I first saw one of these brand new machines at an arcade years ago, my first thought was, "Damn, anyone who hops up on that game would have to have balls of steel!"

Later on, when I actually saw some people playing, I can remember being really impressed by their ability... but in hindsight, I realize now that they weren't really all that good.

My first impression (DDR 1.5 at E3 1999):
"What the hell is that? I betcha the music sucks and theres no hip-hop."
