Who did you look up to?

Re: Who did you look up to?

MrRubix, back when he was legitimately #1 on FFR, and Bynary Fission (he's the reason I stubbornly insist on 1-handing)

Re: Who did you look up to?

For DDR it was Footz. He was actually the one that showed me FFR to begin with and I enjoyed his videos.

For FFR it was Shashakiro. When I saw his scores and saw his videos in 2006, I wanted to improve.

Re: Who did you look up to?

You guys will probably laugh at me for this, but for some time, it was StepmaniaFreak on youtube who inspired me to get better at SM. I have no idea who that guy is and, looking back, he was quite bad at the game, but he had regular footage and motivated me to download more packs to get better at SM.

For charting, exige (his songs always had the best bgs in packs and he always picked the best songs), ElectricWerewolf, bmah, behanjc, hi19hi19, Rebirth0, who_cares973 (I preferred that username), Patashu, and more recently Silvuh.

Back in the 2005-2007 era, Shashakiro.

2008 was the vibrating age and that's when I saw players like Isaac (Sakish) and Danny (now goes by redsea on FFR) getting insane vibrating passes. http://youtu.be/v-01Tmnayts?t=1m26s There were also other guys such as Dynam0, henkz, and eliazzen getting sick vibrating passes.

After 2008 I kind of just did my own thing. I got the first AA on Death Moon Edit in 2009 etc. in that year I didn't really look up to anyone, I just kept playing the game.

Re: Who did you look up to?

This is a great thread. I've always wanted to give shoutouts to online bros I have never met.

I started my journey on the pad, so I guess my first hero was iamchris4life. I remember seeing him do BMR's A and Cartoon Heroes (backwards) on ebaumsworld. Also, the famous JSB vs Reflexx LoM video stuck with me.

As I transitioned to SM, the video that stuck with me the most was Arch0wl's Quasar 1.5x AAA. Also, I downloaded all sorts of simfiles from bemanistyle so I remember names like RaikouRaider, phenomega, Karppa, etc.

I took a huge break from everything and got back into it last year. New heroes like BROSONI, RIN-GO, and MadMatt emerged. Currently, I feel dwarfed by all of these fantastic players on this site, so I look up to a lot of people, particularly Dossar and Staiain. Also, I look up to people just outside my skill level like Xiz because they help push me.

AJ because getting into TC was always my dream (when teams were actually legit)

Re: Who did you look up to?

If I have to go by skill, simfile making and personality:

Skill: Dynam0 has definitely been one of the people I've looked up to. Staiain too, but I'd say he has a greater influence than Stai did. Others include Isaac, Dossar and AJ.

Personality: moches, alloyus or danceguy, no questions asked.

Simfiles: bmah, although I might not like all of his files, his knowledge on simfiles is extremely vast and he is a great person to talk to when it comes to simfiles. ilikexd's getting up there too, in my opinion.

Re: Who did you look up to?

Dossar and Isaac have always been my inspirations. The main reason I have started switching to spread is because of Dossar's achievements on ffr. I saw his rate thread and I couldn't help but feel sad that I USED to be able to compete with such a skilled player [even if it was just on vibrafiles]. Both of these guys have showed me a lot of love over the years.

Re: Who did you look up to?

Oh yeah, redsea/Danny was also an inspiration to me back in the 2008 vibrating era. He got 15 misses on roflcopter and a lot of other vibrating scores that blow my mind, haha
