    This is DDR at its prime. The early 2000’s when people literally put their hearts in souls into dancing. Beautiful good memories. I remember when I was 10 years old in 2002 at Golflad Sunsplash in California and seeing this gifted buff black guy free style DDR ‘ing and doing one handed hand stands and break dance moves while playing. I was so mesmerized, Ill never forget those good times watching and playing

    I was part of the tail end of this era. I loved this game with such a passion, I had Supernova 2 on my home Playstation and I used to play this every day after school and then go to the arcade when I thought I had a song down enough to show off.
    It wasn't long after until the malls in my area all shut down their arcades due to stupid vandals, but I had a truly wonderful time while it lasted. I hope these machines make a comeback.

    • @NiGHTSaturn
      @NiGHTSaturn Před 10 měsíci +2

      I first played in 2000 and then saw a report on the game. It recommended to NOT relay on the bar, that was before we had absolutely insane step charts. I still play without the bar but completely understand why players who only go for the highest scores on the toughest songs rely on it. Most freestyle plays you see on this video are at Standard Mode, easier to remember the steps and a bit of time to add other moves. In the end, I wish the game’s switch to « full bar play mode » wasn’t seen as the usual way people play.
