[dAnceguy117]

well, yesterday i went to ocean city in new jersy and MAN do they have good arcades there. they got time crisis 3, DDR Extreme, and the first pump it up machine ive ever seen. pump it up is CRAZY! ddr is so simple, and then u start playing pump and its like 5x harder. i think it was a pump 3 machine. they have some GREAT songs on there, like beethovens virus, extravaganza (did i spell that right?) and all those other banya songs. banya should make ddr songs with naoki, that would be SWEET. as u can imagine, i sucked. there were all these ppl there that could do, like, everything backwards, and the worst part is, they were my age. it wouldnt have been so bad if they were obsessed teenagers, but they were seriously WAY too good. evry1 was watching and i looked like an ideot.i could get an a on beethovens virus on hard, but thats about it. and wtf is up with beethoven on crazy? HOW CAN u hit 3 panels at once? im not an octopus!! stupid octopus people. anyway, im on the local hotel comp cuz im on vacation, and visiting all my old friends, so i gotta go. c ya in a while peeeepolzzz

HOLY CRAP THIS THREAD IS OLD AND IT'S STILL ON THE FIRST PAGE.

Anyway, last Monday Ben (babybenji2004) and a couple of my other friends went to Craig's Criusers. They have a PREX3 there, part of the reason why we went. Fricking sweet.

This game seriously kicks the living bejeezus out of DDR. If the Korean versions are better, that's really saying something.

I started playing where I left off, like Beethoven Virus and stuff. I played a couple of games of three songs, when our pizza was ready. My friend Stephen still had a game going when he left to go eat the pizza, so Andrew picked it up. He came back, I asked him how he did, and he said he got like a C on a 4 or something. I asked him if that was the only song he played, and he said yeah, so I rushed back to get the last song on it before someone else took it.

I got there in time, and I decided that since I didn't pay for it, I would try something hard. I remembered something about a song called Extravaganza and tried it on crazy "why the hell is that a 5?". Somehow I comboed most of the beginning and began to lose stamina. I still did pretty good throughout and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a big 'A' on the screen.

So now I'm pretty confident. After eating some pizza, I go back. I decide I want to play Csikos Post on crazy, and somehow I pass it. I really didn't do very good, the health system on PIU is awfully friendly.

Enough of this exact crap, I'm just going to list some scores.

Csikos Post crazy - B
Vook crazy - B
Winter crazy - B or C, can't remember
Extravaganza crazy - A
Dr. M crazy - B
Slam crazy - almost passed

So yeah, as you can see I got a lot better since the last time. This thread is so old, it cracks me up. I didn't know how to type a a year ago. And to chriscage, yeah, Jillies had EX a year and a half ago. XD

Ben needs to come in here and post something.

EDIT: looked at my old post and realized I forgot a score.

Beethoven Virus crazy - B

[Tsuteto]

Yeah, you REALLY didn't know how to type. And this board is like... rarely posted with something new I guess. That's why. And people would update this despite it being three months old.

Meh, before I moved to Utah, I was visiting one time. Was playing with this one guy on some level (It had cactuses in it, so it MIGHT'VE been Csikos Post... doubtful though). Difficulty was hard. It was on an extra stage to. By the end, I had scored an S with one great. Rest perfects. PIU's timing bracket is SO much more lenient than DDR's. And PIU is easier in a way do to the main fact that in a way it's more fluential. I need to get a digital camera so you can see some of my scores. Oh, and play full doubles mode. A lot more funner. Half doubles is kinda just... blah.

O_O

finally... someone who KNOWS that PIU is much harder than DDR... all of my DDR friends think that PIU is so stupid and dont wanna try it cause they think it'll be so simple......
but i did finally get two of them to try it... and they were one the most basic of songs (and mind you that they brag about being on maniac mode in DDR) and they were like 'OHMIGARD that was hard'
and i go 'see... it's alot harder...'
but stil... it was kinda their first time, so i'll give them the fact that the keys are different...
but... i know if i played DDR... it'd be easy to adjust to the keys within one song....
but yeah... blah blah blah

PIU rocks your panties off... ^^

"Csikos Post crazy - B

K those scores are insane. I can barely beat extravagnza on Crazy. I don't know how you got so good, but good job. I need to start going to the mall more often.

YEA AND HAVE YOU HEARD, PUMP IT UP IS BEING RELEASED IN NORTH AMERICA!!!!! But I believe they will have different song list however.

[ckj846]

PIU is a lot harder than DDR and the songs are WAY better......
In my opinion.
I can do maybe half the songs on crazy, but I just play on and off.
My friends all suck at it, so it makes me look good.
I really cannot FC any songs because the PIU machine has really bad pads.
People actually take it literally when it says STOMP on the buttons............
It really annoys me because it makes me have to stomp really hard, and i cannot move fast enough.........
so.....
i end up getting B's and C's.....
O_o

What the hell. It's been out for a long time. I think you meant to say that the ps2 version is going to be released soon.

[seethataroundit]

THATS WHAT I MEANT. Also it's going to be released for the Xbox.
