Blimey, just discovered my old dance mat’s They are Fire!! Those were the days, mate. Pure nostalgia, innit

cringe is the answer

I swear someday I'll go to japan just to try every single rhythm game they have, for now I'll enjoy the downloadable ones.

As someone who has been otu of the game for a loooooong time, this was super interesting! I'm glad theres still a scene around!

Do you know what the green long arrows mean in step mania? They look like the blue ones where you're supposed to hold your foot down, but when I hold my foot down on the green arrows it says "bad". Thanks!!!

I have introduced kids to step mania, they love it. What we're seeing in these videos is a bit of a joke though, with the whole barely moving your feet, holding onto the back bar thing.. That's not 'dancing' which was the point of the game. Balancing yourself while playing is one of the skills required to master the game, why completely remove that by using the bar? It's like playing easy mode. High level competition should be proper hard mode, no bar and full feet on panels!

I just realized I might be the weirdest DDR player out there. I don't look anything like these people lol... I don't use the bar, I only use my toes / ball of my foot and not my heels, I brute force my way through crossovers with one foot, and I'm taking MASSIVE steps and jumping my entire body around infinitely more in comparison to these guys. It clearly gives me a lower ceiling, but I'd guess I'm burning literally 5x the calories so I'm OK with it.

i remember those og nyan cat vids u made when i was like 5. i am 17 now

TATSU !!! HE IS MY FAVOURITE POP N MUSIC KZfaqR

DDR should make a comeback for home console, PC, Mac, and Linux with the game for 40 dollars with dance pad sold separately, and 50 songs including a dozen S3RL songs. Dancing to Feel the Melody by S3RL on DDR sounds like a lot of fun. Also, extra songs are cheap, transparent, and direct microtransactions that are perpetual and do not expire. At least 80 percent of the money you spend on those extra songs goes to support the record labels and artists. About 1 dollar and 50 cents per song or 5 to 15 dollars for song packs depending on the number of songs it comes with.

I haven’t play ddr since 2008 and i retire from it . I thought ddr was done but it's going strong and i'm happy. I'm coming back to ddr i miss it so much.

I'll forever associate holding onto the bar with mid noughties chavs playing Afronova 😅

Bro a new ddr games , with the same vibes of early 2000 era , cool anime effects , cool Japanese songs , for modern consoles would be a dream , I don’t understand why not

The MTL poutine pack killed me xD that's too funny

I can’t believe you’ve done this.

thanks for the tutorial!!!

Ahahah rip

Going to visit Arkad amusement to try Pump it up. I was looking for one spot to practice again. Thank you to @aznkei1

This video is quad stars accurate :D

I've felt this for years. All of my PFC's were either a sightread, or first play of the day. Can't grind charts for tight acc, it never works.

Bahaha this is great

Accurate. 100%

quads are like relationships: the harder you try the less likely you are to get one

SO TRUE

it's been over 20 years since first time I played DDR. what a memory...

Ah yes, when rhythm games were what it is before it simply ruined by fnf's influence

unnamed sound voltex clone is open source as well and available on more than just windows (and also is better because the skins are cooler and the game runs smoother)

nonono, a music game is not the same as a rhythm game

Protip : this video has little to nothing with actual modern ddr. Just 4panel dancegames.

Man I really wish I could experience modern DDR to be honest. My town is really lacking when it comes to DDR machines. as far as I am aware in my town there are only a couple of DDR extreme and DDR supernova 1 machines and none of them work properly. The only way to stay somewhat up to date is through stepmania on my pc but I have yet to find an adapter that works for my wii dance pad.

always a fun game at the arcade. i didnt know the small step tech and community was still at large.

I remeember my uncle bought us a ddr ps2 controller but we use it for playing wwe lmao

OpenITG is better then Stepmania ;-) Especially the scoring is much more understandable because it's percentage instead of some huge millions of points which you can't remember

I remember sucking ass at ddr as a kid, so now I am redeeming myself in 2024 because I am having a mid 20's crisis 💪😎

I like step maniax. The fifth panel does it for me.

Just what I wanted an informed video on this community I didn’t really know existed

Guitar hero does have a timing system. It is more subtle compared to other games if you hit the note, perfectly flames shoot out of the fretboard

Watching all these bar holders is really, really boring. I didn't expect modern DDR to look like this. There is no style.

this is incredible

it's two I's but yee it's heeere

banger

What have we learned? Sylvain loves Conflict.

this is funny, i play with those players in the beginning.

Awesome video! Any chance you can share the spreadsheet of displayed at 4:30? Thanks for making this!

Foot switches were the death of good charting. Modern tech charts are nothing more than throwing shit at a wall and repairing it with mines as indicators.

Would have been awesoome in early 90s when techno was full on.late 80s probly to early,but still would have been fun! i think its awesomme,thanx for creatin n sharing.only found this vid lookin 4 my grandchildren a 5yrr n 6yr old they are,a mat hehe.cheers!

Wonderful video, thank you!

WOW. I lost track of DDR and Stepmania back in like 2009. It is now 2023 and just randomly thought, "I wonder what happened to DDR? Does it still exist?" and sure enough it is still around. But what is mind blowing to me is that people use the handlebars now. They didn't back then hehehe

nice
