Fat Merk DDR brags

Post by Merk » Thu Jun 12, 2014 8:48 am

I wanna talk about my random DDR scores but I don't want to clog up the Merk vs. IndyDDR thread and I try to keep Bemani related stuff out of Conversation Cornucopia. Guys this is some serious shit.

So I'm a fat motherfucker, that much is clear, and in the grand scheme of things I was OK at DDR before people started AAAing everything and I started to stagnate. While most people were getting their 100th AAA I was happy in my prime to get a SDG on a 9 or a clear on the World Tour oni course and I never really got much further than that. In light of my fatness, I feel like even the most dubious of scores are an accomplishment so the handful of people that read this thread should expect, you know, pretty bad scores! Is a SDG on V (oni) an accomplishment? Nowadays that's average, but you have to keep in mind that I'm carrying about 75-100 pounds more than the average DDR player so hey, maybe a fatty SDGing V isn't too bad!

With that being said, here's some shit I did while playing singles on Extreme yesterday:

Cowgirl - 2 greats
Saint Goes Marching - 15 greats
Cleared the From Solo oni course!


Will I ever get another AAA? Will I lose weight and get to the point where I can handle the harder stuff? Will I clear hard oni courses? Will I ever AA a 10 that isn't Max 300 or PS? THIS THREAD HAS THE ANSWERS!

The DDR/ITG community has always had an attitude where people talk about how bad they are, even when posting a good score.

There's an active player base?

In my 14th year of playing DDR, I still have ZERO AAAs. I think you are probably *still* better at the game than I am as far as score/grade/accuracy is concerned. If I beat any of your scores in our little contest, it's probably only because I played it 10 times.

That being said, the scores you just posted look pretty good to me! Congrats!

To be fair I am lumping ITG and DDR players in the same boat since they are legally indistinguishable from each other.

I think I played the song for about an hour and a half straight until I got the AAA. I want to say it took about 30 tries, maybe a little less. I black flagged it once and got 3 greats on it probably 10 times for one reason or another. I tended to fuck up and get a great somewhere in the beginning, either at the first 16th note little diddy or shortly after it. I always got nervous and psyched myself out if I had a perfect run going into the part at 0:45 where the vocals come in a second time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R78axeAtfQ).

Oddly enough I never had any trouble on the little part before the end run where it goes BOW...... BOW.... Biggi-ba-BOW (about 1:13 into the song) which I feel like on paper is the hardest part of hte song to PA.


Man maybe I should write a nice little three paragraph story about my trials and tribulations for each AAA I get.

God damn it, I'm going to AAA Super Star today. I've gotten like 5 or less greats on it countless times, it's time to run this shit into the ground and just AAA it

Well I played Super Star about 17 times in a row and the best I could muster was 3 greats and a run of 2 greats and 2 pad misses


Guess I'll keep whoring it out!

Oh shit I AAA'd Super Star yesterday after about 8 tries! Guys! That's AAA #4

I think next I'll tackle uhhhhh I dunno My Summer Love is pretty straight-forward and not very stamina draining yet challenging enough to be interesting.

Aww yeah, my only AAA to date...and on double, no less, and with greats.

If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.
