Getting them freestyling urges yet?

[ingridbush]

I am getting pretty good at DDR, i know most of the steps to Drop The Bomb and i always get the feeling that i want to just spin around whilst playing, i am now a basic freestyler for some some songs that i a familiar with. I can do some songs without looking for a bit too?

Is anyone else starting to get urges to turn around and show off yet or can you remember when you first did??

[QuestionMark]

Well i have been playing pretty much since the game arrived to the U.S. and i sometimes will practice at looking at the screen as little as possible but when your only 13 you don't have much pocket change and a chance to get out to the arcade.... Also I have soft mats... so i can't but i feel that urge to try it however i am preparing to counter act it by attempting actually building pads identical to arcade in almost every aspect with the trick bar because i hate how i have to practice a bit whenever i move from arcade to home to arcade....

[ingridbush]

i am 14 and i would go to the arcade every day if the nearest one wasnt AGES away, i dont see the need to have pocket money cos whatever i want i get

Today when I was playing DDR I was getting these urges to freestyle every song I played whether I know the song or not. Even on heavy if they were hard I didn't care.

[TEEX]

Yeah, I've been wanting to freestyle too. I was just doing Twilight Zone on Light cuz it was simple. I was posing like the guy in Afrnova, and swinging my arms around. I spun a lot and made myself dizzy. I'm currently trying to freestyle Put Your Faith in Me on Heavy. I'm gettin a little used to it.

[KiMMery]

I spin around quite a lot...on light and some standard songs. I'm just not comfortable enough on heavy yet. At home, I let my arms go and my eyes close, but I'm not ready to try any of that stuff at the arcade yet.

To tell the truth, I haven't seen too many people freestyle in my time. My friend is developing a little bit of a routine for "Speed Over Beethoven", with the spins and a few hand plants (that shouldn't even really be considered hand plants, because the whole weight of your body doesn't even go into it). When I was vacationing in Toronto, I saw one guy try a Matrix Walk and fall off, then proceed to be cornered by two workers).

But that's about the best I've ever seen. I'm dying to learn how to do a proper knee drop, or do a good hand plant, but I'm just not flexible enough, or versatile enough for any of it. Lately, I'm wishing my mom didn't let me drop out of gymnastics when I was five, so I might be able to do a decent hand stand every once and a while.

I heard of this form of martial arts that's been newly introduced to the America's...I forget the name of it now, but it was basically fighting to music...My first thought was, "Wow, that stuff would really help somebody freestyle!" But I'm one of those people whose knees don't work right, and I know I'm just not cut out to freestyle.

So sad...

I've had numerous urges to freestyle I Was The One, but every time I think about making a routine, I remind myself how stupid a geeky, white/Chinese mutt looks like when he freestyles.

That usually puts me in my place.

I honestly canNOT think of 2 songs that aren't 10 footers that I haven't at least tried to dance to yet (of course, not counting the songs I haven't done ever).

I enjoy f-ing around that much. MAD fun.

most (almost all) the songs on ddr dont appeal to me as "dancable" songs. freestlying? eh, no. you look silly enough playing it, you'd look even more silly trying to dance to it.

I remember first freestyling to "Kung Fu Fighting" on heavy just cuz the steps were boring and slow. I was kicking in the air and spinning as often as possible. Prolly a pretty typical FS...

I've been PA'ing since I first started playing but now I'm getting that urge to dance rather than shoot for points.

[QuestionMark]

i'm currently going to try to make a freestyle for a ddr "party" [more of a gathering] with the song breakdown and it's going to be hard since soft pads don't have a trick bar. But i did come up with an original move for a section near the end. I also got an end thing but i need to come up with more in order for it to look "freestyle". my other concern is am i going to freak out with being the only guy with about 12 girls watching me when i am used to playing by myself in my own home.....

Oh, I've always had the urges but I can't seem to FS and have my back at the screen unless it was an Edit of my own or somethin easy. I do a hand slap here and there, sometimes knee drops. I want to, but I suck.

DDR Scores and crappy PA

It's fun to frick around sometimes because I already know I can get decent scores on the songs that I play.

Usually, I just shuffle my feet around to sort-of slow BPM songs, like Spin the Disc, Air, the beginning of Love This Feeling, the slow tempo change on When The Saint Goes Marching, etc. Nothing too fancy, I guess.
