I totally would have driven to Florida for this too. Just no time for it this time of year. Summer would have been amazing. :O
Good luck to everyone that goes.  |

Hell yes. And just when I was planning on leaving DDR for good...I think I can stick it out for a few more weeks.

lol at NY being a "location to be determined". probably due to the fact that there isn't a properly functioning Supernova/Supernova 2 in NYC, and the only working ones are 4-5 hours traveling time from the city. maybe we'll get a new machine out of the deal? lolllll

LOL!!! You got that right! The only supernova machine thats OK is at CF. And one side is a little better than the other, but it is good (but loud in that place). Everywhere else either the machine is off-sync or the pads are garbage. Then ppl wonder why DDR is dying out in NYC, how can anyone play under these conditions? Yeah, it would be nice if we got a new machine out of this. (We still thinking of a sledge hammer for D&B's pads!) lmao!!! Hope to see you soon, Matt...(Yeah, you know who I am)  |

haha, I've played on D&B's machine, and was kind of surprised. I don't know how long it's been there, but it's Supernova2! You'd think the pads would be impeccable. Ah well, I spent a good $6 (or close enough to on those cards) just playing all the songs I've never heard before and enjoying the shiny-ness of SN2. This was riiight before I got serious though, so I didn't lament the pad's condition terribly much. It seemed usable to me because of our mall's machine's worse condition. D:
I'd totally sign up for one of these tourneys if I thought I was good enough... and if Miami wasn't so damn far away. Too far to be worth it, really. |

I don't get it.
The state of California has almost twice as many DDR machines as the state with the 2nd most machines, Texas, and none of the qualifiers are in CA? The closest one to CA is Vegas? Sucks for people who live in the Northern CA area. They have to fly in an airplane regardless. |

I think that is because the number of competetive players that are actually really good mainly reside in the east coast/midwest/south area. You really don't hear of a good number of really good players from CA anymore(examples: Updated scores on DDrecall, AIJ, and so forth). Even though you guys have a lot of machines.
This tourney was also put together at the last minute, with no marketing whatsoever so that is prolly another reason. I would also assume if you're in Northen Cali go up to Seattle, if you're in Southern Cali go to Vegas? I'm pretty sure they want to get a area where they can be around surrounding states easier. You can easily counter that with the tourney in TX, and FL though >_<

signed up for Vegas. I hope Gameworks fixes their pads, last time I checked, they have had the most unresponsive arrows in Vegas.
Although looking at the song list, I was a bit disappointed that there's nothing exciting to me thats going to be played on the most recent tournament coming up.
That and no doubles.
Guess I have to play single pad for a month

results from Konamis regional qualifier in Columbus, OH if anyone cares.
1st- Megamanx (kevin)
2nd- Riodo (kyle)
3rd- JJSZ (jared)
4th- HF230 (me/carson)
Cool stuff that happened during the tourney
MMX AAA's PSMO
JJSZ and MMX have an insane match where it went back and forth with a lot of ties. (Best match in the tourney easily gave Kevbo a run for his money)
I lose to Riodo by 1 great with 2 ties in the match I think?
27 entered
All higher seeds made it to top 8
I took out the top seed (mason who AAA'd the qualifier)
PeopleYouKnow(charles) loses to Riodo by 1great as well
From what I hear the final 4 was the best matches out of all the other regions that have qualified

You really shouldn't let that stop you from attending. Konami is holding these tourneys to see the turnouts and if it's worth the time to hold national tourneys. You also sound like you are scared to enter the tourney. I can assure you that at las vegas qualifier there isn't anyone that plays there that can AAA PSMO and if they could they prolly don't play anymore.
Ohio had the most number of really really good players to attend the regional so far and is projected to stay that way from people i've spoken too. All the really good players in the nation post on another forum where we have spoken a lot about this tourney. If there is someone out there he doesn't post on the forum.
I can tell you AAA count wise we all have over 300+ AAA's.
Heavy AAA's
Me - 450
Riodo(kyle) - 448
JJSZ - 431
MMX - 325
You also wouldn't expect anything less from the number 1 player in the nation (MMX) on the PSMO AAA.
anyways you should really attend.

I appreciate the encouragement. I'll put attending into more consideration.
My problem is that I've never played for a score....ever. It sounds like fun, but I'm leery about driving 30 minutes just to get my buttocks kicked for a few hours.
