DDR: Crowd Reactions?

[Russo`]

Well I made this thread to see what crowd reactions you got from other people standing by and watching you.
"Nice Job! Man.. That was incredible." Things like those.

OR

Tell a story you might have been into.

Mine: So a few years back, when I was into DDR so much I couldn't stop thinking about it, I went to GameWorks one day. This was my 3rd game of the day, and I chose the song Sakura. Once I was done with it, I got a little crowd of 4 people. And when I stopped to take a picture with my phone, Which I got an A on it, (this was when it was like, whoaa..) I turn around, and this girl hands me a piece of paper and runs away. "Thanksssss" I said.
I open it up, and it's her number, lol. She was a pretty hot but weird that I didn't do that great but got a number.

And now when I triple A these things, I get nothing.

How about you guys?

I don't get nearly the comments I used to (I suppose it has a lot to do with being 6'7" and 26 years old), but I still get people who comment "That looks like a workout" or "How long have you been playing for?". Occasionally I'll get some tweens who literally say "We want to challenge you". Which makes absolutely no sense to me because they can barely do easy mode. If they just wanted to play at the same time, why don't they just say "We'd like to play by you, is that OK?".

There's been a few times at the old bowling alley I occasionally played at, called Zeppos, where some people in their late 20s or early 30s who where obviously recently at the bar, would offer my friend and I a free round, just to watch us go all out on some of the hardest songs. But since I usually don't play very well with a crowd of onlookers, I never really enjoyed it much.

Toys R Us.

I get some good crowds when I am playing single, but ever since Joint Premium was enabled I get applause and cheers. Some guy came up to me and said "You're so good you tore the pads apart!" I looked down and the pads weren't connected, and I wanted to tell him but it was just too much fun leaving it at that.

Shouldn't there be rules against such foolishness? Well, I am currently attending a technical school and we had a day where we brought in video games. I brought in In The Groove and Dance Dance Revolution X, and the instructor and other students acted as if I were something (they called me master and pretended to do a little bow to meO_o). I kept trying to tell them I am absolutely nothing compared to the real players, but the instructor acted as if he were convinced I were a master good enough to compete with the best of them (I couldn't even pass Walking on Fire on expert that day -- and still can't to this day). Whenever I play at arcades, I am usually ignored. One time, a dude that appeared to be a pre-teen said I am good (I ended up failing the song he saw me playing -- because I suck, not because of him), and a kid was shouting "Nice! Nice!" or something like that when I was playing Cowgirl heavy (same place, different day). My parents think I am good, but everyone I watch on youtube is absolutely lightyears upon lightyears upon lightyears beyond me (I can't do with the hand controller what real players can do on the pad). Oddly, the only players I have seen outperform me in real life aren't even as good as the people I see on youtube (a couple of guys at GattiLand in Ashland, Kentucky made only single stars on expert songs).

Ha, I'm not good enough to get any comments, or even many watchers.

I hardly play anymore but:

I wait for the people think they're badass and show off to their fugly girlfriend and pick on the newbs.
Then I encourage the newbs and go show the arrogant people up.
