in the peak of my DDR career I couldn't even pass Max 300... The hardest song I COULD pass was Healing Vision angelic Mix. But for some reason when ever I attempted Max 300 my brain would perceive the notes traveling faster than they really are and I would think to tap me feet faster than I needed to. I would love to try and learn again but there are no good machines anymore where i live :/
@@fav843 It's stepping on sync with the song on an arrow (or even in the middle panel) where that step doesn't exist. Example: On a song you're playing, there's a part where you step only on up arrow every third beat of the song. So instead of waiting one-two-THREE where you only step on the arrow at three, you ghost step at the middle panel at ONE TWO and then step on up arrow at THREE. That way, players can maintain their timing even when there are gaps between arrows. But on this video, Chris has demonstrated amore advanced ghost stepping. What I explained were the basics of ghost stepping. At 1:08, there a freeze jump arrow for both left and right. * *(I don't know if you're a DDR player and/or familiar with it but you can take your feet of the hold/freeze arrows as long as you put it back quickly. Otherwise, you'll unable to gain the score from holding it on it's full duration) * Instead of Chris just simply standing on the hold arrow and waiting/anticipating for timing of the incoming arrow after the stop, he is repeating the step pattern's timing that preceded that very hold jump arrow. He had realized that the first step after doing that whole particular timing sequence is the exact timing where you press the arrow after that arrow hold. Also that is easier said than actually doing it. Ghost stepping is only an effective tool if your steps accurately enough.
bought my extreme arcade for 500. old cabinets are on the way out and doesnt hurt to ask bowling alleys or wherever their asking price. around 1-2k for a decent machine. but a decent machine from a bowling alley is rare, they always have something wrong with them. Dirty as hell, brackets are off/sensor issues so the pads are undersensitive, etc. Easy fixes. Anything more is a rip-off. Gotta put in that spit to make it butter but it's worth it.
I was Today Years Old when I learned Maxx Unlimited's stop is an integer number of beats, I've been reaction funny-ing that thing my whole life. Also _fuck_ those last two steps lol
Lol I was like... "Is this a different mix...? No! These are the hold arrows!" "Why is he stepping the syncopation...? ... Maybe to keep time and keep it interesting? ...but it's not going to align when it finally... holy shit. Lined up perfectly. ...OH MY GOD THIS HOLD HAS BEEN AN EVEN NUMBER OF BEATS THIS WHOLE TIME?? HOW THE FUG IS THAT POSSIBLE? HOW DID I NOT KNOW?" And yes, double fuck the final step
anyone got tips for getting better at DDR arcade? My feet land oddly outside the hit boxes sometimes (in such a way that never happens with the ps2 version), and I have a hard time registering the up arrow hits sometimes (and this is just generally all machines I play, so it's not a problem with the machine).
my main problem now is that my movements feel kind of sporadic, and I lose stamina during songs that are faster and that have more jumps (i.e. drop out).
Dgraham13 I have two major problems. I move way more than I need to (although that doesn't really have to do with transfering to an arcade machine) and sometimes I slide my foot from one panel to another, which you clearly can't do on an arcade machine.
Man is your form good! I haven't played DDR in an eternity, but when I pick it up again I'm gonna have to start over and focus on developing good habits. I was pretty good as a kid but I don't think I could have gotten any better the way I was playing.
For those of you that think the bar is cheating, I have a question for you. Why would Konami build the bar into the panel and include it in the game if they didn't want you to use it?
@@jijon805 you should probably re-read what I said before misunderstanding it and then insulting my intelligence when clearly you here have the room temp IQ.
Old school DDRer DJ Zero here that was a nice performance sir, I tip my hat off to you. At least I don't get to see someone who uses a bar to do their dirty work and I am 34 and still doing this. 6 years ago I did a basic high score run of DDR 5th mix but that's impressive nice work over there.
Fuk a bar. That's sht is for noobs 😂 doing it this way gives u way more of a work out and helps with balance and controlling yur center of gravity super super human level! ULTRA INSTINCT!
Great job, but that's still a AAA, no better than anyone else's. It's awesome you can do that no bar! Calling people who don't play like you "cheaters" to get the same score is wrong though. IDK maybe you were just kidding though ;)
the entire point of the video is to show that using the bar or not doesn't mean anything... chris ALWAYS uses the bar in all of his other plays, but does this to prove that he can play just fine without it.
This man has a hobby he loves, is world class at, which gets him daily exercise and thousands of people who love his content online. If that means he has no life, then I don't want a life either.
Cheater. You already set it to auto play and act like stepping on it. The last part you clearly missed some steps. You shoes are long that's why no chair required. BOOO

You said this in your video that I just watched. Even 7 years later you are still respectful :D
You made it look so easy! A lot of people at my arcade look like they are trying to hold in diarrhea when they play this song.
Some Dude first reply with 46 likes
Some Dude haha
lol true. key is to be swift and not stiff.
a 4 year-old comment made me laugh hysterically. well played
Lol
Fuck me, indeed.
admstyles No bar, no cheating indeed.
why did he say that anyway?
@admstyles would you?
Do it with no ddr machine now
And no looking
And no legs
And no feet
at that point is just tap dance
What was wrong with me 8 months ago lmfao
Someone will still say: "Now do it without ghost stepping" LOOOOOL

@@fav843 idk what you just said but ok

"Shoutout to admstyles, fuck you." best ending ever
edited one year later: oh it's Adm, not Edm. whatever.
I wish my arcades pads were this responsive.
What the fuck my dude. This is like the pinnacle of DDR right here. I can only dream of being this good..
Pinnacle?
Just takes practice man... Lots n lots of effin practice..
this dude for real just has a DDR machine in his home -.-...the hell

Buckets of tears! I think this is my favorite Max song.
Lol
This is so sick. Working on passing this song now.
can we all just agree that Chris is a God among men?
Indeed
now he should do it blindfolded while handstanding
MrNotorius5500 give him a few years then he’ll do it
can we all agree he is rich and can buy is own cab while other players wish we could have that kinda game time
Nah, I know a guy than defeated crash dignity in the pump it up in nightmare mode, no cheating no bar.
That’s with fireworks at the end. Congratulations
HOLY FUUUUUUCK. YOU SIR. ARE WIN!
Chris is life.
hey chris. Love your videos. Hope i get good as you! Also tips would be nice!
A TRUE GOD. NO BAR!!!!!!
No bar for life.
I think its safe to say that chris is the all around goat of 4 panel dance games
Mio96 I thought he was the all around aardvark.
@@inujosha He more or less is. Legit not too long ago I found out he was the first one to fc Through The FIre And Flames (TTFAF)
LIKE WHAT?!?!?!
7 years later: calling him the goat is an understatement
Can I call you a dancing master?
Even i can´t do it 100% perfect with my fingers... it´s amazing.
That is legit and you are extremely good at DDR.
Oh my God, you're great!
You make it look so easy!!
I just realized that I use my toes / ball of my foot on every note while you are using your heels all the time...
1:05 Brilliant.
I still have a hard time trying to figure out the rhythm of the song 😂
Bro your shoestrings at the end came untied and tried to run away in fear of your feet.
Needs more thumbs up at the end
GG
GG!
Killed it
insane!
you know the funny part is the guys glazing him for playing nobar here are probably the same guys dissing him for using the bar in his other videos

I hate the arcade. I dont weigh enough. I hit the arrows, but they never register unless I stomp on the stupid thing. Its like... why bother?
Halo Nyanko that has to do with the sensors not being sensitive enough you can mod them with tape and it will greatly increase sensitivity
No desync either.
amazing
DAMN
Congrats for this AAA without speedmods and barless Iamchris4life (^v^) now ready for Challenging course Legend Road (No Bar) I'm sure you can do it^^

can anyone help me with the speed of this song? Is this 300bpm 1x? or is it at 1.5x? please help, I want to learn this song :c
BPM is 140-320 at 1x speed, 280-640 at 2x speed
I know that, but what about the video@@dxjuxn6611
This video is 1x
@@heyyywhynot thanks m8

Do it stealth shuffle
Sadly the hardest part of this challenge is the 1x speed. Great job!
lol no...
he AAA'd it
can do the entire legend road ?
6 years late, but yah, he did!
That's his morning walk

For those of you that think the bar is cheating, I have a question for you. Why would Konami build the bar into the panel and include it in the game if they didn't want you to use it?
Pretty sure the original purpose was to prevent people from falling off
EXTREME MOTIONS ARE DANGEROUS!
same reason there are options...to make it easier...#nobarrape4life
"shout out to ADMstyles...fuck you"
lmao!
DDRpros is better obv cuz she had no shirt
1:08 i like it *lol
1:08
til using a bar is cheating somehow?
He's mocking people who claim it is
Haha, does Admstyles still play?
Yep he goes to the arcade I work at
Fuckkkkkkkkkkk
this dude is the best no cheating nothing dddaaawn
you used your feet. cheater confirmed
56ok
Mad respect for no bar. I never understood people thinking they are good but use the bar as a crutch.
it’s called balance dum dum

If you had a metal pad but no bar, a chair was the go to quick fix
no canadian
My boy Gilbert from NYC AAA this

Fun Fact: Chris uses Judge 1. (no joke lol)
Plot twist: hes using autoplay
Psssshhhh I can do that...NOT 😂
The ending makes it so asspie
This is how ALL dance games should be played
This isn't fair. You can do it with your eyes closed lol. How about instead of no bar, do it no sound? 0.0
Put some tap shoes on this guy and put him on every Got Talent there is. This kid is Jesus 2.0.
Respect. #teamnobar
ok boomer
The bar is a safety measure, but if you need a crutch you go ahead honey
Bar turns it into a keyboard rhythm game that you play with your feet while you stand on your hands. Just stupid
@@rodrigorodriguez509people who say this have never actually played with the bar

lol, chris usually plays with the bar and he is the literal ddr KAC world champion
he said that because people accuse him of cheating
Finally - a video of a player not cheaping out by clinging to the bar. We didn't have respect for those players even when this was brand new.

He PFC’d Fmax Esp no bar as well.
JSB did it first, lol.
And where's JSB now? Nowhere to be found.
I miss this form of mastery.
DDR should never have started incorporating the bar into how difficult they make a song.
youre welcome to play them without the bar instead of bitching on youtube, you know
Dang... Talk about no life at all.

Thats actually physically impossible to do on an arcadr cabinet
It's running arcade software, not SM bruh
this is how the game is meant to be played. hats off.
