Ys with DDR dance pad? :D

[Incog Neato]

Yes, it's a silly question but it just popped into my mind: Has anyone play any Ys games with a Dance Dance Revolution dance pad before?

I'd imagine you'd get a total workout!

[Skeletore has a boner]

Nope, closest I've gone to that was playing street fighter 2 with guitar controller.

[CrazyJo82]

now there's an idea.... i've tried soul calibur 2 with the ddr pad... hhaha, you get some interesting combos...

[Inochi 命]

I've played SC2 with the DK Bongo controller for Gamecube claping to attack is fun. I got through 4 matches in arcade mode just waiting for my opponent to run up and get clapped to death.

[Lumi]

Now that'd be one hell of a workout. And that minipad is just too cute! XD

However, I think I'll just continue to induce carpal tunnel and use the keyboard to play the games.

[CrazyJo82]

minipad is cute.... but my fingers will be too numb for piano practice... lol

sc2 with donkey kongo drums? hahaha, cool!!

[Falcom Director of Fanservice]

I want to do this now. =[

I have a friend who is/was a DDR freak, and was once able to do a gunflame in GGXX with a dancepad.

Really shocking to me....using dancepad for fighting game... :lol:

How about using dancepad for real robot(ex: Armored core)? I'll bet anyone can't do it..

[kami68k]

What system is that mini dancepad for? This looks cool ^^)

[Red Hairdo]

Wow! I must try this eventually!! =DDDD

(Why, WHY didn't I post here before?! T_T Such a sin...)

[soylent]

Haven't experimented much with a dance pad personally. However, I watched a friend play through the whole of Mega Man 2 using one earlier this year. Don't ask me how...

[SkyeWelse]

I think it be an even better experience if the controls were mapped to a Wii Balance Board. : )

I've tried Ys VI like this and have only defeated the first boss with the dance mat. XD

You must be one hella street dancer. xD Yo

[Ascended Mermaid]

XD I'm not. Thing is, I don't know the first thing about dancing.

[SkyeWelse]

Perfect for DDR, then. Heheheheheh...

Hehe, that's actually very true. Most DDR players, myself included, are terrible dancers. : )

I used to play a lot of DDR as well as Beatmania and Pop'n Music.

I once started a Stepmania song project for a mix of Darm's Tower with Rado's Annex, but it didn't get off the ground too well. I had managed to make a mix of it without too much trouble and I created a stepmania background for the song which looked like this:



I just couldn't find a way to match up the steps with the beats of the song all that well so the project was abandoned. : (

[Incog Neato]

Bah! DDR isn't about dancing! It's all about stepping on arrows in time with the arrows on the screen!

Man, now that I have a Beatmania controller, I feel like trying Ys with it. ^^;;;;

I wonder if I could map the turntable to the attack button?

*makes Adol flick his sword like mad by rapidly scratching*

[Wanderer From Ys]

Try Soul Calibur, or Virtua Tennis with the Dreamcast fishing rod. Sega basically invented the Wii's current controls.

[cassiopaeia]

Speaking of Stepmania, I came across something that I think everyone will like.

While looking on Youtube for game footage of Wanderers from Ys for the PS2 (Could only find the vid from Liquidpolicenaut, I wish you'd post more from this version), I turned up some vids on there involving Stepmania and one of the Ys music pieces: "Theme of Adol". There was even a pic of our favorute redhead in the background.

It was surprising, though the sound quality on the vids stunk.
