FFR vs. DDR

danthemano · 07-31-2008, 03:34 AM

I don't know if its anyone else, or just me, but when it comes to ddr, ireally suck.
I've only played a handfull of times, but i know im pretty bad.

I think i'll keep to using my skillz on FFR.

discuss.

Well actually if I was going to compare FFR to anything, it would probably be beatmania. Even though FFR uses the same set up as DDR, they aren't really the same at all, whereas beatmania still has you using your fingers, so your skills on that can sort of carry over. Although, I can sort of do DDR and FFR both pretty well, so maybe I'm not a good judge.

Why compare FFR to anything?

FFR is most similar to SM.

FFR is not similar to Beatmania/Lunatic Rave, in that your hand can't cover all 7/14 keys in a one-finger-per-key format.

FFR is not similar to DDR in that DDR uses feet? That's like comparing violin to soccer.

is it some ffr-type-finger-rhythm-music-game?

hmm, interesting.

I have some trouble reading japanese though..
oh well, its not like i could ever switch from FFR to something else
:~D

Just to reiterate.

FFR skillz are completely different from DDR skillz on a physical level.

Footeye coordination and handeye coordination are two completely separate entities that involve different talent. Just because one can do FFR doesn't mean he can do DDR fine. Just because one can't do FFR doesn't mean he can't do DDR. And vice versa.

These 2 games aren't really comparable once you point out the obvious.

What's beatmania?!

I think I died a little inside. Seriously, if you've played DDR than how the hell do you not know about BM?

Also, don't compare FFR to SM. SM has a wide variety of things you can change about it. You can't just change FFR at will.

By living in England.

Living in England is also a good way to suck at DDR, because it's so hard to find a good machine to practice on (unless you don't live 500 miles from London like I do)

But falling over is one of the most fun things you can do while playing DDR!

Then put in the work to get good at it! If you think people think you're crazy when you play ffr well, wait till you see how people react when you're good at DDR (Although crowds lose interest quite quick).

Also I mostly take back my previous statement about how you could compare beatmania to FFR, you can't, but it's definitely closer then the relationship between FFR and DDR.

At least you have Drummania, we Americans get crap on that front :P

hmm, well they don't exactly advertise each other before each game begins, so....

NFD · 07-31-2008, 05:07 AM

I'd love to see vROFL on DDR, xD!

Crashfan3 · 07-31-2008, 11:24 AM

I saw a guy play CIA Rave on pad once and he went psycho on it; nobody could survive longer than 30 seconds doing vROFL on DDR.

I played DDR/ITG for a while before I knew about BM. I have still never seen one in real life
