Ever not do as good somedays?

[Sora1421]

Ive been playing for about 2 weeks now and every day ive moved up a bit like my first week and a half every day id wake up and smash all my old scores. Then i got into heavy and I can't break say my C record on i feel with a B the next day as i used to in standard and light. Past couple of days though i have noticed not much progress i mean i guess i should be happy that in 2 weeks i can pass all 9 footers except for 2, but i played for 4 hours on average every day sometimes more. But since the past 2 days i kind of dont feel as good as i used to. for instance i had a B on break down and when i tried it twice again i got a C and a D. I think it may be that it's finally catching up to me for killing my body those 2 weeks without a break. So the real question is was there ever times when you seem to have seen your self get worse for a few days or something then bounce back? Becuase i'd really like to get back to getting better soon. Maybe im just greedy becuase i was able to do this much in only 2 weeks and now im not making much progress daily as i used to.

Thank you for reading

You also should realize that Heavy is the hardest difficulty to get good at, with so much technical stuff.

I would take a break for a day or two. Nine footers?

Even at 4 hours a day, if you have only been playing for 2 weeks, I *seriously* doubt that you can clear all the 9s (IMO, you'd be lucky if you cleared 1). Also, unless you were in stellar shape, you would've felt fatigue after day 1; but if you were in that kind of shape, you shouldn't feel fatigue at all now. Your story is highly inconsistent and suspect to question, but the basic principle has been re-iterated in many threads of old. Sure, sometimes you have days/periods of time where you don't do as well as normal, but your general skill trend at the end of it all is still a positive one.

You'll have to put up some kind of video of yourself passing basically the hardest 9-footers for people to believe you, but even then, I doubt anyone will think you've only played for 2 weeks.

Once again another non-beliver and i didint say i coudl clear all 9's i said all but 2 which are So deep and End of the Century as well as MaxX a 10 footer. I played in disney quest on the original first mix one day for 6 hours on free play. It was my last day at disney and the next day i could barley walk becuase i had never used all those muscles in my legs. In those 6 hours at disney i could pass Superiors with D's which were 4 footers. Also its been about 3 weeks from playing at disney but i only played 1 day there and didint get the game for another 6 days and none of those days did i touch a pad. So call it 3 weeks if u will i still say ive only been on it 2 weeks fully. Those days gave my muscles a nice rest. When i got it i started on light mode i was excited and played from when i got up about 11 to about the time people went to sleep about 10 with 30 min breaks here and there. Although those 6 hours in Downtown gave my legs broke in the next day my legs hurt still alot. But it was only light mode and i didint need to move my legs that fast so i basicly made my muscles go numb i played the pain away. each day the soreness got less and less untill a week later my ankles started to hurt which eventualy went away and recently my knees have been hurting a bit and no i dont do knee drops. I have exceptional stamina becuase of the fact ive ridin motocross for 8 years and run cross-country. Just becuase no one belives me i will show you photos of my scroll menu once i borrow a camera.
I know it may be incredibly difficult to belive that i have done this good but this is not BS and ill find pictures to prove it.

So you beat all the 9s on your home game except eotc and so deep? Good job.

It's normal to have not as good days no matter what you're doing. You might be tired or maybe you're just distracted. It helps to take at least one whole day break each week (I know it's hard but you can't go forever without rest to refuel).

His story his belivable kinda, i mean iv been play just a little over a month, and im on heavy 9 footers i can only clear one right now but still it is a 9 footer which i have achieved in one month, i have not played nearly as much as he has tho, i played maybe 3-4 hours a week at home, and maybe 4-6 hours a week at the arcade if that. So if he played that long everyday for so many days i could defintly see him accomplishing thos goals, but i still dont know about 9s 9s are frick hard

His story is believable. If I had been in good enough shape when I started playing I would've been able to advance that quickly, because for the longest time I was working only on endurance. But yes, we all have off days. Give it a break for a day or so maybe, since you have been playing so much.

Thank you guys for believeing me. As for 9 footers its all about listing to the beat of the song. I used to play by arrow sight completley but when i came into standard i found that the paterns werent as consistant and i opened up my ears and started to play a lot by the beats for than just sight. It helps alot

Haha just because you can beat almost all the 9 footers on Max 2 doesn't say much. Besides the ones you said you can't do, they are all super easy 9s. Xenon is easy to pass, along with Paranoia KCET Clean Mix. I feel is hardly a 9. I would say go to the arcade. I bet you couldn't beat a SINGLE 9 footer there. Have fun failing.

[Brick Tamland(LoveRevenG)]

haha gary, your hillarious... and very encouraging.

ya, i could beat max 300 at home and then went to the arcade for the first time and failed love shine. i remember those days...



exactly what gary said... your gonna fail

It took me 3 months to get to where I am now in DDR and ITG. My biggest accomplishment is being able to pass Max 300 with a B at the arcade. I checked your other posts for consistency, and they check out. BUT, nobody else believes you anywhere on this forum. I see that you have an intec foam pad you play on... Can you actually pass Afronova? How good are you at the arcade? And most importantly, whats the difficulty set on for your copy of DDR? Try setting it to 8, like my local arcade, and then tell me you can get a C or D on them 9 footers. Your story is consistent, but I don't believe anyone can make such progress so quickly. Send in video of you playing: I would actually like to be proven wrong. Pictures aren't enough. And no, I don't have offdays, I just can't play in the morning.

Wouldn't this thread go in DDR Gameplay?

[Paranoia_Brother]

This thread might have some useful advice

There are other threads like this, just use the search button.

My advice though, you're off day could be because you've been playing too often, not enough hydration and nutrition before playing and/or not enough stretching. It could be numerous things, but whatever it may be, hope you do better.

I have passed So Deep a few times at x2 speed barley but i cannot keep it consistant. Burning heat i honestly didint think it was that hard, i can pass that consistantly with D's and a C every once in a while. It is just a lot of feet movment is all, you just have to be in good shape.

I had one on Friday.
I was just getting so tired and out of energy really quick on easy songs too.

Then I ate food and was able to play like normal again. I passed an Oni Course and even LoM Double for a 3rd time (to my surprise)

Happens to everyone.
