People who shadow, with the trickbar, behind me. That's just ludacris. You're not even doing the steps correct either.
Also, coin line disregarders, and parents who think.. no no no.. they -KNOW- it's their kids turn up because they walked in the store and it's good enough reason for them. "That's why your kid just failed Captain Jack on Light you stupid b1tch!"
Coin-line theives.
Also, people who laugh. I know they're going to laugh, I know they are, but at least do it at the end of the song when you congradulate me with your sarcasm. |
Quoted for truth.
Kids who complain that DDR isn't good like ITG.

I agree. I wouldn't say it angers me, but it's really annoying and looks pretty stupid.

When you get off the pad, are a little sweaty, and everyone treats you like somekind of goddamn celebrity. Also, people who don't pay attention to the line.
And, one time, after that one obligatory guy who's at the arcade very day finished playing ITG, and I was the only one waiting for him (well, with my 8 year old sister), he UNPLUGGED the machine and left. WTF is the point of that? Was he just being an bumhole or did he need to reset something? |

I get that a lot with non DDR players and it's so annoying.

| rampage wrote: | Here's where you can rant about the stupid crap people do while playing DDR at the arcade.
Here's my top 6 list.
1) Playing barefoot. We've covered that in another thread already.
2) Wiping sweaty hands all over the screen while selecting songs. Having to wipe greasy handprints off the machine after someone plays is disgusting.
3) People not cleaning up after themselves. If you want to bring a towel, water bottle, stack of paper towels, windex, drinks, food, whatever, don't leave it around after you're done. Nobody else wants to clean up your sweaty paper towels, partially consumed drinks, or partially eaten food and wrappers. Be considerate for once.
4) People who stand too close while playing. Nothing makes me want to suddenly "swing out my arms wildly to catch my balance," than when somebody stands like 3 inches away from the platform.
5) People who attempt to carry on a conversation with you.. WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING DDR. "Hey, what song is that?!" "Uh.. Matsuri Japan *pant*" "Wow, that looks hard!" "*pant* Yeah, it's difficult." "So, how long have you been playing." "*pant* GO FUCK OFF YOU SCRUB WAIT UNTIL I'M FINISHED"
6) People who like stand two inches from you and hang over your shoulder while you're finishing your game. Like, wait a second for me to get my memory card and take my stuff before hanging over my shoulder getting all huffy because I'm taking too long to get off the stage, you doggy.
That's my list. |
1) People who leave their crap on the machine (Drinks, tissues, stuff like that...)
2) People who talk to me while I'm dancing. I play in Heavy mode, and I'm 12 years old. When you apply to both, people don't wanna shut up. Sometimes it drives me nuts when I'm doing songs like PARANOiA EVOLUTION or DXY!
3) People who stay on the machine for hours, not giving anyone else a turn
4) People who are hopelessly bad, but stay there forever hoping they'll get better which never actually happens
5) People who drive you crazy by asking the most obvious/stupid questions possible, like "How do you do that!?"
6) People who think they're the best dancer in the world. The kind of people that say you cheated when you beat them in Versus mode.
Sometimes people annoy me so much that I wish I could punch them. |

My pet peeve is guys that try to show off to their gfs while playing ddr. God can't you take her out for some actual dancing or clubbing? I'm sure there's a billion things that girl would rather do than watch you and some sweaty weirdos at an arcade playing a dancing game. The absolute worst is when you see a dude go wayyy over his limit to try and impress someone, at least do it with some taste. god.
(Not saying that all guys treat their girls this way, or that girls don't play ddr; this is just a trend I'm picking up on)

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that.
We have two machines in our arcade, DDRExtreme and ITG2.
If any of the guys are showing off to their girlfriend, it'll be on the DDR machine.. but they just end up watching the ITG2 players.
I'm not going to lie though, I've tried to impress guys with my ITG/DDR skills.
Yeah that didn't work at all.
They'd get up and play 11, 12, and 13 footers.
Yeah, does anyone know any songs that could help improve my speed?
For PS2 I have ITG, DDRExtreme, DDRmax, and DDRmax2.
Oh, and the Ignition pads, or whatever. |

Oh jeez where to start...
1.) The guys who suck at DDR and try to shadow on the pad next to me (or ITG, for that matter)
2.) The idiot who stands behind you and shakes his head and mutters "too easy" when I'm doing Sakura (even though I challenge him and he can't pass it. xD)
3.) When I use the bar for a song like PSMO, the n00bs standing next to me start making pelvic thrusts and call me a bar raper.
4.) The general parent who tries to ask me to give their kid instructions on how to play when I'm in the middle of a damn song... then when I'm done, the kid starts running around on the machine.
5.) While playing doubles mode, the fool who thinks I'm playing 2-player and gets on the pad that I'm not currently on, thinking I need his help (this is greeted with a strong shove to get him off of the machine.)
So, any of mine strike a chord with anyone else? (Time to doggy, that's what this thread is for, right?  ) |

When people say DDR is so easy and "I don't play anything less than 8 feet." That's fine, but the point of the game is not to break every bone in your legs and feet. Make your own edit with a 20 footer and have fun, if that's what you really want. Should I have the ambulance come while you play? hehehe  |

Man I HATE parents who bring their little kids to play. They never pay attention to the coin line and will argue with you until doomsday that they're right. It's always doggy moms too (not saying anything against girls, but I've argued with a lot of doggy moms who have no idea wtf they're doing).
I almost flipped on this woman when she started giving me poopy because her kid didn't put a coin up but wanted to play while I had been waiting a really long time to play. I pointed out the coin line and she gave me a look, so I just figured screw her and played my set and put a coin back on the line. When I was done.
I also hate when people have toddlers or other really little kids with them who just wander around the machine and ONTO the machine and the parents think "Aw, thats so cute!" No, its not cute, the kid is going to walk over here, get hurt and you're going to yell at me because YOU don't know how to watch your f'ing kid. I literally almost kicked this kid and the mother because she PUT the kid on the other side to watch them jump on the 2P left arrow for an entire song.
Man I hate people...

Holy crap yeah.
There was this one father, who was about 6 foot 2, really buff, bald and scary looking.
There were about 5 people playing ITG and he just walked up and put coins in.
Someone went up to him and said something and he just flipped out.
The kid played the same 3 songs too. 
Oh, and I was playing on doubles and it started on the right pad, and this little girl was on the left arrow of the left pad, so I was like "Hey, you need to get off. Get off. GET OFF. MOVE!!"
Then her mom gave me the dirtiest look and said "WHO THE EFF DOES SHE THINK SHE IS TO TELL MY KID TO MOVE BLAH BLAH BLAH."
I mean, if she told me she wanted me to kick her daughters skull in, then I would have. -_-; |

I also hate when little kids pick the SAME song 3 times in a row. Most annoying thing in the world, especially on ITG2 because they do Novice and YOU CANT FAIL. D:
So irritating. At least in DDR its like, ok we'll give you another shot. Then you fail the 2nd stage and its like, ok you're done now move along.
The parents again... "You want this song again right? Ok here we go!", you just wanna run up and spin kick them away from the buttons.

qft
I hate when some little kid think he's hot sh!t when he's playing on beginner, trying to freestyle. He gets a C and yells, "AWW I ALMOST GOT A DOUBLE-A!"
When kids jump over the bar during the break in R3. What was that noise? That was the sound of the pads getting crushed from a death stomp.
I also hate people who can't keep track of their tokens in line. I once put a token up to say I'm next, then some kid who didn't know the coin rule takes the token and pockets it and screams "THANKS!" And by "thanks", I mean "Please kill me." |

In situations like this, there is a simple solution that is guaranteed never to fail. Simply ask yourself, "What would Maddox do?"
As for me, here's my top 10.
1. The DDR smart-buttocks. A year ago, when I thought that Oni mode was pronounced "Awni", I watched some kid pick it by mistake and fail after a few seconds, then questioned "Did she just pick Awni mode?" And some dumb slut goes, "Yes, I believe it was Oni mode." That tone of voice just pissed me off.
2. Anybody who thinks that they can play, when they fail some easy beginner song and get nothing better than a Good.
3. A good player who rubs it in. Yeah, we know you just SDG'd PSMO, don't be a smart-buttocks about it. "Hey kid, did you know that I just acheived one of the hardest feats in DDR on the hardest song?" And when everyone applauds him after getting an AAA he smiles that stupid smart-buttocks smile like he's the best person in the world. More often than not, this person is a complete geek who literally failed life, and doesn't realize that his audience is actually mocking him for spending so much time on a video game.
4. Don't stomp, or I will kick your buttocks after the song is over. I've been invited on numerous occasions to take it to the parking lot in an arcade, each time by a stomper that I've reprimanded.
5. Anyone who leaves poopy on the machine/floor. More often than not, I see kids play a round of PIU at the local Wilt Chamberlin's, and forget their coin cups. I just stand their innocently, and snitch it when no one's looking. It's their fault for being so idiotic. It just pisses me off to see this level of stupidity. But yeah, it's really about leaving trash on there. Like, there's an arcade half an hour away with a PIU machine, and people spend their entire token cards on playing, then just leave the frick card on the machine. You know, there's a reason they invented rebuys, smartass.
6. People who pick girl songs that aren't girls. No one thinks it's cool to see you playing Love Love Sugar. Girls will think you're a geek for trying to win their hearts via a dancing game (and will think you're a moron because you didn't notice the guy they're making out with), guys will think you're a homosexual, and everyone will think you're a dork. You want to look cool, play a Paranoia/Max song. And a note to all of you: no one's going to realize that the song is called Sexy Planet unless they're actually paying attention. Stop playing it, both the song and the chart suck.
7. If you fail, don't blame it on the machine/pad, and don't say you can pass at home. I've witnessed someone on an ITG2 machine pathetically fail Clockwork Genesis Expert, and then shouted, "GOD DAMNIT! I CAN PASS THIS AT HOME!" It should also be mentioned that this was a fat man who was never witnessed with a girl in the history of humanity.
8. People who think mocking DDR/PIU/ITG players is cool. Er, yeah, it would be if it was a man who had just selected Candy or something. The reason I don't do marathon courses/oni courses is because the song selections suck. I'm not going to be caught dead playing something like Don't Promise Me, Drifting Away, Dreams Of Passion, etc. When people are watching, I generally choose Hybrid, Infection, Cryosleep, Tribal Style, or Delirium because they don't make me look like a nerd who plays chick songs.
9. When you play with a bunch of valuables in your pocket, and then something like your $500 PDA falls out and shatters on the spot, don't blame the arcades.
10. And worst of all - soccer moms who are retarded. This will be broken down into a few sections.
10a. Don't let your kid anywhere near me when I'm playing, no matter if he's 2 or 12. Kids, ITG, and me don't mix. If I'm playing something with a lot of density (Delirium), weird stepping patters (Tribal Style), freeze rolls (July Euromix), or anything tough (Hardcore Of The North), don't let anyone who's immature and can't think straight near me, because I'll either *accidentally* kick them where it hurts, or get extremely pissed off and yell at the mother.
10b. Your kid just snatched all the coins from the coin line. I don't care if he knows better and was trying to piss people off, or if he's a complete and total dumbass who gets straight Fs in school (and I know many people that do), it is not cute that he took all the "free" tokens. OK, you stupid feminist doggy, if you walked into a bar that was hosting a quater-bouncing championship, and your kid walked in behind you for some reason and snatched all of the quarters that were lined up on the table, would you think it was cute then?
10c. Your kid does not get cuts in line. Just because you have a four year old doesn't mean you are put into an elite group that allows you dubs on the machine. This is not an airline. You may be paying extra but it does not put you in first class. It's your fault that you didn't require your boyfriend to wear a condom, and it's because you're so ugly and stupid that he bailed out and refuses to pay child support. Don't take our your anger on us law-abiding citizens that pay our dues putting up with motherfuckers like you just to get some goddamn exercise.
10d. Bringing the video camera is not hip or cool anymore. Hell, it never was. If your kid seriously is a DDR prodigy and can AAA TLoM, chances are he is a social outcast, a pariah, and will never get a girl/boyfriend. And that still does not merit bringing the video camera. That just makes the kid look even more immature and juvenile. Anyone who tells you - yes you, you stupid soccer mom - that your kid is cool/has talent, is just trying to make you feel better about your geek son.
10e. Are you just going to stand there when your kid starts getting in the way of someone playing a seriously dense song (PSMO/Pandemonium)? He could get injured, cause an injury, or break some equipment. Plus, you're going to yell at us innocent players for kicking your kid while trying to hit the Up arrow, when it was really your kid's mental state and your own imaginary aura as a parent that *allowed* the kid to run in front of someone who's feet are moving extremely fast to a 330 BPM 8th note run.
Anything I missed?

I agree with a good majority of this list, although I think there is one I have beef with (I realized another one was only referring to mothers, which I failed to pay attention to.)
| Quote: | | 7. If you fail, don't blame it on the machine/pad, |
Debatable.
For example, The arcades near me that I have been to have DDR machines where the sensors are dying and need replacements.. badly. The DDR extreme machine had a non-working right arrow on one pad, and the DDRMAX2 machine has a disfunctional left pad...
I think that in this case, it is more than fair to blame the pad if you are new to the arcade(s) with this problem, and don't know beforehand about any pad issues. |

I agree with the above post, however there are some people who are elitist and seem to think nothing is ever their fault...
some guy at my arcade is (for example) trying to AAA Spin The Disc, so he gets most perfect but at the end of the song he gets 2, count em, 2 greats, you cant blame this on the pad (and he did) as it pretty much worked for the other 299 arrows >_> |

9/10 are asses, yeah, but some of us legitamately don't mind playing chick songs. The first AAA I ever got was Cowgirl, does that make me gay?
Side note: Some of us don't give a shit what the people behind us think. Some of us realize DDR isn't a ticket to Coolsville, USA(except at Anime Conventions, then the word "cool" is a term used loosely). Which is why if I play Graduation or Love ^2, I'm fine with it.
