Sure, if you're not 5'5" and have fat thighs :(

I'm heading there today to work on my leg stamina.. I'm probably going to be at stardust from ~6 until closing tonight if anyone wants to join. :)

Went there and played today for ~4 hours. The sound wasn't working when I got there, but the lady at the counter just said to unplug it and plug it back in, and it was loud as ever. :) I didn't get my goal of beating Quasar today, but I made some other achievements today as well. Some questions about this place though: what happened to the keyboard mania machine? I read that there apparently was one there? and also, the DDR Extreme nonstop megamix was off beat... quite an unenjoyable warm-up. :P

Also, I watched Glarthob play a round, and he is a monster. :shock:

All the DDR songs on the machine are off-sync. Sorry, shoulda told you that.
There is a code to changing the volume of the machine as well, but I forgot it.

Just dropped by to say that this machine kicked my ass all kinds of horrible. "Quasar? 10 footer? That shouldn't be too hard..." *gets raped*. It's not that I can't read any of these more difficult custom charts (rather simple step patterns), my legs (mostly my thighs) just give out after doing fast stream for so long. Any tips/suggestions to get better at these?


It does feel good however, when you're warming up with Max 300/LoM to play even harder songs later. :D

One question though, why a Touhou theme? Weird combination, but no complaints here. I'm so glad there's a hacked DDR machine so close to where I live. Thanks :)
My only question to you is this. I was at Stardust this past Wednesday and did not see a DDR machine. So if there is one there, where is it? And since when did people hack DDR machines? News to me. Anyways, I saw an ITG2 dedicab, but maybe I'm missing something here.

and aparently, someone informed one of the managers that worked there about it being hacked. And more specifically, the coin code. My friend that works there said they were talking about getting rid of the machine altogether.

I might be there today, so I will provide further news.

There are a few "keyboard" charts where the ratings don't make sense (Quasar, Untitled Gabber Song, Air, etc.) They should be pretty obvious by looking at the step count though.

If by this you mean the Gensokyo Midnight theme, this because it's a generic recolor, and we have every generic recolor.

I explained this somewhere else but long story short, someone done broke it.

I think they meant "DDR" as a generic term for dancing game, cuz they got rid of ddr a long time ago.

What's the long story to this, I'd really like to hear.

Someone ripped off some keys or something, manager doesn't feel like replacing it.

I lurk.

THIS being the EXACT same reason as to why I said it would be a good idea to put tokens in the machine regardless of the coin code. If there are plenty of people playing on the machine (to which it's QUITE obvious to the people that work there) and there are hardly any tokens in the machine, what do YOU (as a player) think is going to happen? This goes without saying, it's not rocket science. The last thing I would like to see happen is the one good machine that I've found in Indiana to up and disappear simply because some idiot decided to talk about our freeplay. If someone needs an ass beating, let's get right on it. God knows I will.

I hate to be the dick in this situation, but to all of you who met me, I told you so. I know you remember me clearly saying something about this possibly being exposed and now here we are. HOPEfully we won't all suffer as a result of this fool.

P.S. This contributes to why I decided to be done with this game about a year ago, because everytime I decide I want to start playing again and TRY to get better, some stupid shit like this happens. And at my age (24) lazy or not, it gets harder and harder to start playing, stop playing and start again. Call me a bitch and say I complain all you want, but I believe this varies from person to person..

Good luck with keeping the machine >.<

I'd just like to throw it out there that it wasn't me, and I "donate" to the machine every day I play there... and I'll be very upset if they do remove it. This machine is probably my only hope/motivation at getting good at ITG/DDR in general, and I've only just recently revived my interest in dancing games and found this place to play. :(
