Ack!
I need some assistance. Not a lot of people know I have a serious heart issue. I have trouble keeping stamina playing DDR. I've passed MAX 300 once... with a B, and I swear the pain hurt so much.
I got my heart checked out today, and they'll have to do a heart cath(sp?), to find out how to fix it. It may not be fixable until I'm 18, and it may not be fixable period, and it could be fixable in a few months. I won't know until the cath is over with and that's probably going to hurt extremely bad and won't be able to play DDR for a week after that.
So for now, I'd like you guys to help me be able to get better stamina wise. I'm already accurate enough for how long I've been playing (2 years). I just SDG'd Twilight Zone today ^.^. But I need some tips for stamina saving techniques while playing. I'd like to be able to play harder stuff, but my heart won't let me, It just hurts too much. DDR is really all I do, and without it I'd probably be a pretty boring person (if not already..).
So some sort of tips or techniques would be helpful.

If you can do it, there is a technique where you actually never move your feet. Just rock back and forth on a diagonal with your left foot positioned straddling left and down and the right foot straddling up and right. It takes a little work (the technique is similar to how people hit multiple panels with a single foot in pump, or occasionally ITG, for a "handplant"), but it is quite doable.
Or you could take the Malictus approach and start AAA'ing Light and Standard songs, as well as freestyling, depending on what you feel like.

A normality test:

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

I can pretty much go with barely moving my feet at all, and for some reason, this still uses most/all of my stamina. I'm pretty much about to consider my self dead x.x
I'll try the heel thing, I usually do play with my toes. I'm also more accurate moving my feet more. 99%'d a couple DDR songs (7 footers)a stepmania with ITG theme and timing setup. I can move my feet and do most 7 footers without dying in the middle of the song.
I hope they can fix this soon

I do. I've seen... two episodes, I think? It seemed like an entertaining enough premise. Though I mainly remember it because someone asked me to write a parody once...The X wrote:Sounds to me like it's a Quantum Leap joke.
Anyone remember that show?
I actually read it as a Sliders reference myself, but to each his own. Both shows went down fast.
