Okay so I hardly play pump but here is some of my new improvements.



My first half doubles full combo


My very first NightMare pass


A hold dropped because the pads are getting not so great :/


So I played it again because it was BS


I honestly felt like these greats were a LOT of BS just because my timing was pretty damn on as you can see...

More Pump converts! YES!!

If only Fiesta 2 had the ability to save screenshots onto USB, that way I don't have to bore u guys with my witty and sometimes overused comments.

But anyway...

SS'd Shanghai Romance S14 finally

Take Out S20 - A w/ 21; this felt really energetic!

Pavane S17 - Gold S w/ 6; yeah!

Chopsticks Challenge [Full] D19 - A w/ 16; oh man! This is tiring!

Hypnosis (Synthwulf Remix) D20 - A w/ 33; the majority came from bracketing at the end.

PRO 2 SCORE DUMP; All on CZ

Lolitabot: 11 perfects and 1 mine 99.53
Utopia: 5 perfects 99.77
Chaotic White: 9 perfects 99.63

Last song of the day.

I'm just knockin them down.
Official #11 and my second 10 footer( flagged it on the jump before the last run the try before this)


Would have got this tonight if I wasn't lazy


Then after some solid FA I decided to play a little game called
[size=18]FUCK THE SCORE[/size]

WOOOOO passed this I don't give a FUCK.



Then I got tired...

What my warms ups have resorted to...not sure why I even wasted time playing these or uploading these but whatever.




FINALLY got the 99! With a bullshit pad miss on an 8th note.
Old best was 98.99 with like 81 FEC so this feels good.


This was 1.1 rate but i'm sensing a pattern here with the pads...


Stopped being a Bitch and said fuck the score.


Sightread/first pass

Just curious, but did you do those easier quads no bar?

This has been my only no bar quad to date. They way to tell is if I say I did it no bar(which isn't almost never these days) or by looking at my speed mods and mini percentages.
I'm sure I could do them no bar but they wouldn't come as easy because I don't play no bar. 5.1.1 was partly no bar lol

Ah. I see. I didn't think most hardcore players would play things like Butterfly with the bar....but to each their own. Nice scores.

Yeah I mean I don't really see the point of playing songs no bar these days. Even if i'm playing DDR I still use the bar. I like to let go of the bar when I get a great or two. Sometimes I play Ten's no bar to lol at my scores. I can play songs like Destiny, Delirium, or Xuxa no bar but with hideous scores. I even play doubles with the bar.

Ugh this probably isn't the place for this rant but here it is.
Lately with the progress i've been making i'm starting to notice a big divide in how I play ITG and what I enjoy from it.
I get a MASSIVE high from beasting pendulum 14's or 15's or DForce songs but I have to have a COMPLETELY different mentality to perform at that level.
My mind set is quite literally, "fuck the score, let all those misses go, move forward, move faster, conserve energy, take a deep breath, who cares how many miss/way offs/decents/greats I get as long as I just prove that I can pass this darn thing, go hard."

If i'm playing for score it's about foot concentration, and I can feel the tiny imperfections in my timing that allow for excellents. Keeping a blue combo is such a rush, and a mental and physical struggle. But the more harder songs I pass the more I realize the difference between quadding something like Ants verses something like a pendulum 13. Both aren't out of reach goals but  both require very different technique. I think with the bar it gives me the opportunity to see the light for each of those two very different goals with minimal strain on my legs and technique.

but at the end of the day no bar DDR S4R is still something that gives me great joy. rant end.

We each should play the game we enjoy it.

Please don't mistake my question as positioning for an attack on your playstyle. I gave up my "No Bar or GTFO" stance a while ago. Now I just want as many people to play the game as we can get.

Personally, I enjoy playing the game no bar because i get to move and flow in a way most don't even know is part of a chart. Songs like Frozen Ray are so much fun because of the spins, same for the gallops in Twilight Zone and So Deep. I just can't do those with the bar. I just wouldn't get nearly the joy out of it.

Pretty much I'm like the guy in that video (Windu?) made that shows the different types of dance game players. The retardedly happy DDR player doing no bar spins, grinning like an idiot. That would be me.

Couldn't agree more

Not many achievements:

SS'd Destination [Shortcut] S15 & Nobody S15

Interference D19 - A w/ 14; a Fiesta EX favorite of mine!

Defeat...

Fiesta 2:

Vacuum Cleaner S20 - A w/ 28 & broke 6 million points; just gotta finish stronger...

Witch Doctor [Shortcut] S20 - B w/ 56; end is 195 bpm dumpstream.

Crashday [Full] S22 - A w/ 89; eh...at least it's < 100.

U Got 2 Know S18 - A w/ 12; this has got 2 be the toughest S18 EVAR!! Everybody got 2 know that!

Destination S18 - A w/ 5; done right after U Got 2 Know. I destroyed the old record of 2.0 million with 3.2 million.

I got this over the weekend. Not too shabby considering this is the second time I've ever played this song on doubles.

No bar as usual.

That's honestly my favorite double 8 of all time. I love the awkward 7/4 meter and the switch between pad walking and jacks. This chart helped me start playing doubles.

BAHAHA how I managed to do better without the Cmod is beyond me YOLO!



Glasses Slipped

Got something to hold my glasses

Get Me Tuan!!!

Opps coming out of the slowdown haha


I've never choked so hard in my life...
I was so stoked on my FEC that I great attacked the second burst after the middle run


Tried again and FFC the death run
Pad on an 8th note
Miss because I slipped
first FEC


Not my best but I just wanted to see if I could pass it still...AND I can.

Went to Big Al's Vancouver for the first time today and they apparently removed the DDR machine some time ago, meaning I was forced to play PIU for some time and still broke several machine records. All pics/vids are sightreads.
