Hello everyone! E1.gif

I know you arent supposed to have an introduction thread but I had some questions and figured why not introduce myself while asking them. E1.gif

I'm new to this forum and DDR, I've been readin here for about a week or 2 now, and I started DDR on christmas when I got DDRMAX 2 as a gift, and some pads. I now have a metal pad and a redoctane ignition is on its way. I'm 15 and I live in new york, I go to TimeOut in the greece mall to play, but mostly I just play at home. I'm ok so far, I can get A's on alot of heavy songs, B's on some 9 footers like Paranoia KCET and such.....I love this game so far. gives me excercise too.....I hope I dont lose weight, Im already 120 pounds as is, heheh.

Ok, now that thats out of the way....I see people talking about PA alot, what does that mean?

Another thing - my 8 year old brother can A most songs on light mode and im trying to get him to start playing standard. Is he like, a prodigy, or are there alot of kids his age who are way better or play the game just as much? Cause usually, when I go to the arcade they are all 18, 19 year old guys playing it, and I feel really young. I'm gonna bring him there and see if it amazes people.

It seems pretty normal to me. I have seen (on many occasions, mind you) kids that look as though they are about 8 or 9 years of age, and they are playing Breakdown on Heavy. I'll be all like, "Damn, kid, you're good. How long have you been playing?" He'll say, "About 3 months, now." It seems that these kids are picking up all of their timing and rhythm skills a whole lot earlier than most people nowadays.

(Who says that DDR doesn't play a hand in the Gene Pool?)

Welcome to DDRFreak's Forum

As far as your brother's concern...If I were you keep him playing DDR, who knows where those skills could take him...he may even get a perfect score on Legend of Max someday or maybe work for Konami as the new Producer of DDR E4.gif

SOON!? I think he's more than ready to take on other people at the Arcade if anything I think he may even make the Heavy players look like losers (No offense having to be a heavy player myself) E4.gif I think it's time to get your but off the couch and hit the arcade E4.gif

yeah that is a accomplishment, but 8 year old a'ing most light songs isnt too rare. It IS somewhat uncommon, but its nothing new.

But yeah its cool, my 8 year old cousin can play some light songs, but isnt interested in DDR enough to keep progressing..

My 9 year old can A/AA almost anything on Standard mode, and he's starting to play Heavy mode now, and is passing the easier ones. I agree with what someone else said... younger kids seem to progress much faster... in other words, your brother will be kicking your butt before you know it E4.gif

It sounds like DDR is a lot like foreign languages in that you can pick it up quicker the younger you are. It sucks to learn a language when you're 15... Stupid French... Je n'aime pas francais. C'est tres stupide... Mais DDR est hyper-cool!

I have a 10 year old friend who is close to passing PSMO Final. I call him "My Homie" just to be funny. He's freakin good. Do you know how depressing it is when you get out-PA'ed by a 5th grader disturb.gif .
