Im sure there will still be DDR for people to play, of course. But is there n e way we can set up another DDR section thats for the hand held controller? I know that some people just like playing with the controller and not the foot pad. I know that after I play DDR using the foot pad I rest my feet but still play using the controller.

?

I think they mean no DDR with a standard controller over the dance pad.

Ohh I love DDR, unfortunately I don't have Extreme 2 yet, I need to get on that ball. I only have the soft bads but I want to get the foam ones. I know I should go for the hard pad but I like ot play in socks and those hurt my toes ;-;

That would be really cool if they also had a controller option. It would be really different. I think I got alot better at DDR after playing on the controller, it's crazy

Just curious to know...

Will there be a DDR arcade machine available at the Kumoricon? Or just 2 CFs?

I know chances are small to nil, but maybe an ITG2 dedicab? so beautiful...

(pic)

I really wish. Especially for ITG2. Especially even moreso for a dedicab.

Unfortunately, I've heard what's stopping the con from having a machine (any arcade game, period) is someone who would supply it - and sadly, there's only one ITG machine in Portland, and it's not a dedicab - plus, it's at Tilt, and I don't think they'd be interested in leasing it (or would they... haha). The only dedicab in the state is in Seaside, lol.

Yeah, I'd really love some arcade Bemani there, though. I enjoyed the arcade so much at Sakuracon. *Bemani fan*

Unfortunately I doubt we'll have a machine like that at the convention. However, the pads that have been used in the past are pretty good. They're hard, sturdy, and don't slide around too much. They're not like the fold-up pads.

Krn Doxy · « **Reply #31 on:** April 11, 2006, 08:48:16 am »

I'm actually really bad when it comes to metal pads. If I wear shoes, my legs get tired since I'm not used to the weight; if I go in socks, I slide around too much; and if I go barefoot, I get cut up by the screws. Is there a chance that there'll be foam pads? They didn't have them at Sakuracon so I'm not getting my hopes up, but I just thought I'd ask.

Negima · « **Reply #32 on:** April 11, 2006, 06:52:56 pm »

@Krn Doxy
Actually the pads aren't like the machine pads. There are no screws sticking out. The surface is pretty smooth which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on who you are.

Oh yeah, I think I remember people playing barefoot without sliding around to give you an idea of the surface.

After going to wunderland and having to wait around for a guy to play 5 games before he let people go... *grumbles* I'm going to post this here.

Can we have some sort of rule on DDR where if people are waiting in line behind you, you can only play one game (or you know 3 songs) and then if you wanna play again you have to go to the back at the end of the line? Or/And no endless mode..... or setting it up for yourself to play 5 songs before your game is up. Same thing like if we have that Karoke game. I wainted once in line to play for 20 minutes because people wouldnt let others go on it... :evil:

if by some miracle I can come to this con, I'm just curious to know...

if there is going to a be DDR tourney, will it be on metal home pads rather than machine?

just wondering about the status as of now.

First of all, cool signiture pic. ^_^

Second, in the past we've haven't had a machine at the con. What we have had are home pads but they're strong, solid pads. They're not the kind you can fold up basically. They tend to slid a little bit but very little when compared to the cheap plastic pads. They're not as good as the machine pads but they hold up okay.

Dustin H · « **Reply #37 on:** May 25, 2006, 07:11:38 pm »

well i should be right at home on a home pad. they're probably similar to mine. i have a nicer home pad that's slide resistant, but still slides a bit. looking forward to it!!! although dressing up like squall and playing ddr is a bad combo!

*snickers* gee, really? I understand about the injury thing, I screwed my knee up back in September just after the con and was on crutches for three months

Negima · « **Reply #42 on:** May 31, 2006, 09:01:56 am »

Recently I've been on a hiatus with DDR. No injury or anything like that. It's just the people who are suppose to take care of the machine hasn't taken care of it very well including the In The Groove.
The machine would freeze up, the select button would be stuck, an arrow pad wouldn't work, one of the sides didn't work (this problem is going on for 4 months now), the machine would eat quarters, and one or two other things. At least one of these happened for a month and I was tired of asking for my money back.
Now, after a lot of people have tried out the machine and it seems to be working, I'm trying to ease my way back into it.

Dustin H · « **Reply #43 on:** May 31, 2006, 09:42:51 am »

yeah. it seems like every time i go to the arcade to play there is always one machine that's not working right. gets pretty frustrating

DancingTofu · « **Reply #44 on:** September 06, 2006, 11:30:02 pm »

1. Your poll is lacking, ITG wins for having "Mellow" on it. :D

2. You could just bring a controller and a copy of DDR and use one of the other PS2's there.

3. They need 2 full DDR setups next year and better pads, or I'll cry. :cry:

[to the staff]
4. If possible, I'd be willing to bring my DDR setup (PS2, all the NAm games ['cept extreme 'cause it sucks], and a set of fully functional and maintained dance platforms compatible with DDR, ITG, and PIU.) to K-con 2007, as long as I'd have somewhere to set it up.

5. Get a DDR cabinet (other than DDRUSA, 'cause that mix is BS) with GOOD PADS there next year and I'll <3 you fo' EVAAAR!

CaoCao433 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 07, 2006, 04:44:56 pm »

@Tofu
1. *cough* ITG = only good for harder steps, not good fun.
2. space IS needed for more DDR
3. i agree about the pads. cobalt flux IS one way to go, however, ... they just suck IMO. how 'bout some Ignition Pads anyone? i mean, i can do WWWWAAAAAYYYY better on regular pad (yes, default konami pad). those Flux pads slid around like...... bad.
4. what kinda pads? if they're not cobalt flux, please let him bring 'em, staff.
5. it doesn't really matter about the mix because you can always change it. it might be hard to, but hey, why spend about $3k on an 8th mix when the older ones are cheaper?

*ahem* while i'm still here... anyone mind telling me why Style was cancelled?

DancingTofu · « **Reply #46 on:** September 08, 2006, 09:41:57 pm »

1. ITG has awesome songs and great steps, all it lacks is an edit mode.
2. Space wouldn't be an issue; there was enough room in the game room to put 3 DDR machines comfortably if the Halo 2 people didn't have 10 spectators for every person actually playing. :lol:
3. Cobalt Flux don't suck, those ones did.
They're sensitivity was WAY too low, you couldn't tell where you were on them, and the sharp edges cut peoples' hands.
Soft pads = breaking the speed limit they slide so much.
Soft pads + 10's/11's = no.
4. Nah, they're generic metal pads, and they work perfectly because I actually maintain them. (1 pad miss = time to take the pad apart and fix it)
I'm very anal about keeping my pads in top condition.
5. Hell, they could just, you know, rent a machine. xP
Although I'm building my own cab-style home system as soon as I finish pimpin' out my pads.

Style was canceled because they didn't know how to judge it. :roll:

btw, I've done some calculations. . .
We can expect roughly 2800 people there next year, 1550 pre-registerers.
That's only mathematical, though.
Anyway, that would leave them with roughly $9500 in registry revenues.
*nudge nudge* better DDR plz? ^^

Problem: Finding a place that'll rent out their DDR machine and getting it to the hotel. To add on to that there's the cost for renting the machine.

Somehow I don't think staff is going to spend a lot on DDR machines when they think they can use it on something a lot more people will enjoy.

I like DDR and wish they would get a machine but I think it'll be years before they'll consider it.

Yeah, Sakuracon's going to have one, and a ParaPara machine, and a beatmania machine. . .
But Sakuracon's about twice as big and has been going on for more than twice as long, so maybe we'll see one at K-con in a few years.
