- Taken from a DDR Tournament. (DDR: Digital Life 2004 Tournament) This is several songs in a row. All the hardest songs back to back.
Dancers take turns to complete. Incredibly fast action. Last 2 mins are the best.
The song list in order is:
MAX 300
MAX UNLIMITED
SAKURA
THE LEGEND OF MAX
PARANOIA SURVIVOR MAX - บันเทิง
Wow I can't believe this video is still up, this was back in 2004. I'm in this video doing the first section of Max300, second half of unlimited and first half of PSMO. Legend road was new around this time and only a handful of people have beaten it. Good times, good friends.
do u still play the game and do u ever want them to make more games like this I do I use to love the game takes me back when I was a kid and seeing this in arcades
angel flores GOAT
I bookmarked this video so long ago, I was so impressed since I played ddr in mid 2000's. This video seriously makes me want to conquer max 300 as I never had before.
Hi 2018 here (2018)"sup"
I started DDR in my first year of highschool which was in 04, i really enjoyed the game and sweating like crazy. Great to see you guys are doing your thing. Props, this video is legendary
Ohhh myyy godd the memories ;-; Back when everyone would stop what they were doing in the arcade if someone picked MAX 300 just to come and watch. Will never forget when DDR was super competitive.
Chris SubZ yeah now still old players are only playing nowadays. People are now in comshop or at desktop.
5 year old content on how things used to be
It still happens at my local arcade
Never could finish it on expert, but many songs I could. So when I played at my local tournament all the max300 players came out of nowhere. So I instead competed at the heavy level (I was a fairly new player and never competed before) and placed second thanks to MAX300 as my final song pick.
It was fun times. Lost quite some weight back then too.
... The good old days.
Back then fefemz was 6 and chris was 12.
2004, back when MAX300 was actually considered one of the hardest.
Oh man, the memories. I was actually at this tournament; first time I had seen Legend Road passed. Didn't even matter to me that it took as many people as it did.
FYE needs to come back :(
Now days, you got niggas double digit PFC'n this oni course. So cray.
DOUBLE....DIGIT....PERFECT....FULL....COMBOING....THIS....ONI.....COURSE...
william carson this is the greatest reply of all time hahaha
not to insult you sir william carson , well im an asian and we study english subject at school to learn how to speak english. I really thought that if you live in america/us where english is the basic communication language. you can learn english instantly without the need of going to school just to learn the proper way to it. so do my thoughts are wrong?
Paulo De Castro Not necessarily. Being born in an area that speaks English, you learn pretty fast. But if you are from else where then it is good to take a few courses in English before going anywhere. Theres only so much you can learn in a class though. My suggestion would be to just learn the basics then after that start learning through experience.
***** shut up lebron
I love the high-speed squeaking of the sneakers.
Sounds like music itself!
classic video when ddr extreme was hot. miss the old days
People kind of need some context for this- at the time, iirc, no one in the US had perfected several the hardest songs, stepmania didn't exist, and other than buying your own ddr cabinet, practicing at home had to be done with shitty third party peripherals. I think JSB was the first American to perfect every song on record. There was also a weird level of disrespect for players who leaned on the bar too much.
wolfumz Very rare to see people put this into context in the comments sections of my videos. Thanks for posting. It's nice to know that not everyone is ignorant when it comes to putting things into context.
Anthony Carella I used to chat online with JSB all the time. One of the naturally funniest people I've ever talked to. People have no idea how impossible it was to practice these things outside the arcade, or that players from socal had to travel to arizonia to play on the latest cabinet. To be the best, you had to either grind (for a dollar a song) or possess a weird, otherwise useless, natural talent (like JSB).
Kind of sad how DDR has evaporated from arcades, I never see it anymore.
Agreed. I was pretty cool with JSB and still periodically keep in contact with him. Him and myself are the only two people that I know of in the 2002-2005 era that AA'd PSMO S4R.
After that time period, it seemed that ppl started buying ITG machines and the rest is history. When me and JSB and other ppl from that time played, it was truly the golden age of dancing games.
Anthony Carella The last I talked to JSB, he had finally moved out of his grandma's house and was transferring to a UC (berkeley? LA? can't remember). That was a long while ago, I sometimes wonder about how he's doing. He had a unique mix of talent/charisma and outright laziness (do you remember his sports betting phase?)
You're name is only vaguely familiar to me, but then again, I was only peripherally involved in the scene (I was 15 and found myself in the arcades to play Street Fighter III and Marvel vs Capcom 2) but friends of mine really practiced and played a lot. It was a special time, when you had to find tournament videos from limewire or Kazaa and a streaming video was still ten years down the road. An inimitable slice of time for a tiny niche of people who came together for love of the game.
ITG was coming up, and (my understanding) it was seen as a low quality knock-off, preferred only by a minority of players. Maybe it was a competitor that diluted the market for DDR players, but, _even_ _ITG_ evaporated from the arcades. It's rare to see a DDR/ITG machine even in a movie theater's arcade these days. Where I live, in San Diego, Nickel City is only arcade still open, and they took out DDR and ITG before 2008.
My theory is, like fighting games, players simply started playing at home once they were able to. There's no reason to go to the arcade across town (and risk meeting people) if you can easily plug in your pad to your computer and play 300 pirated songs for free.
Anthony Carella Yo, I love we were nerding out about ddr this morning, and you end up on youtube about it later in the day. I watched these videos and they were nuts.
back then when this was rare
the AAAA people have skyrocketed
Ahh DDR, The first video game tournament where everyone who was really good was also in really good shape.
its funny when i se people doing DDR and you just see tthe body stay still but the legs move
Is this what life was like 20 days before I was born?
yes. it was good times
me too
Brings back a lot of great old memories. These were the hardest songs of its time and you were really something if you could beat them.
If there's one thing I still have hope for, is that DDR gets it's community spirit back. I miss these days of playing DDR for sure.
Spoiler: now it's back (aside from the pandemic now)
Now, MAX 300 is easy compared to hell like Valkyrie Dimension, Paranoia Revolution and EGOISM 440.
Don't forget Endymion
@@GODFUN1OO Or Over the "Period"
Max 300 heard this comment and sent Max 360 after us. Thanks.
Are you forgetting about Lachryma (Re:Queen’M)?
every time I go to a arcade I would always look for this game
I mean, what else are you going to do in an american arcade lol. I literally only go to arcades if they have this game.
Same here
Iconic video, great to see it still up after all these years
And this was before Supernova, so Fascination Maxx and the rest of the harder boss songs wasn't around yet.
Crazy that the hardest supernova songs aren't even the top 10 hardest anymore. Still insane and barely anyone can FC them, let alone PFC/MFC.
Holy crap!! The last guy was AMAZING!! Now I see what kind of dancing DDR is talkin' about! Tap is intense!
i always play the same songs everytime i play DDR. anyone else
Same here but because I had played them before
Back in the day shit!!! Remember I started perfection these songs then I went into 10th grade started partying hanging out with new friends stopped playing DDR....shit was sick!!!! These songs were legendary at the arcade if you saw someone pick one of these first your like "ohhhhhh shit" lol
you made my day. :)
LOL REMEMBER WHEN PARANOIA SURVIVOR MAX WAS THE HARDEST SONG IN THE GAME
Man, I remember being there and seeing this shit live. I was holding my breath the last few songs. What a fuckin' show! Much respect to Sketch and the rest of the guys.
It's pretty cool seeing that this video is still popular, haha.
Laughs in 2021 with a bunch of other shit that makes me not wanna skip leg day for a minute
I dunno, doesn't look like a tournament to me. Looks like a gang of guys teaming up to take down a boss.
This is called 'the LEGEND ROAD', by the way.
*jaw drop* OH! That is SOOOO COOOOL! Man I didn't even know this level was in existance! Looks SOOO hard to do! Those guys are good!!
All I'm gonna say is DAAAAAAMN O_o This is awesomesauce!
I hate pulling the "kids these days" card...
But arcades now are literally just giant mobile game arenas in the US. You'll be lucky if you find anything good or even a DDR machine. I loved going to arcades or the local movie theater with my older brother and just huddling around the DDR machine and switching off with other people that were in line and then popping in those quarters. Some of the best memories I have were spent with my brothers going to arcades and hanging out. Swiping cards don't really have that satisfying feeling that popping in tokens or quarters had
and hearing the clink in the machine
It's called Round 1 and its a classic arcade experience with modern machines. Obviously no coins though sadly, but their DDR machines are both DDR A, which came out in 2016, and DDR 20th anniversary edition which was made in.. 2018?
If anything, the music game scene for arcades is way bigger now than it ever was, and I played back in the early 2000s when all we had were extreme or max cabs.
@@fav843 I wish I had those where I live but the closest one to me is over 500 miles away :(
@@Pheminon1 ):
Do you at least have a Dave and Busters?
Maybe get a home setup with stepmania X pads. They're really good.
Could also try looking into a DDR community on reddit or some other place to ask around.
I was gonna make a speech about how there are dozens of harder songs, but then I saw the date.
He is getting a great workout! That is so difficult!! Awesome job!!
I miss these in 2022
Ah, the good old days, where these actually were the hardest songs in the game.
2022? Anyone?
That's crazy but awesome at the same time
this is one of the most insane sets of sang I have ever heard of
can't find a ddr arcade machine anymore:(
i feel your pain
If there is a Dave and Buster's or a Round One near you, you may find their newest arcade machine, DDR A.
That's if you live near a big city.
otakuvivian 💔
Dude find a Round1 and while you're there play some Sound Voltex
LMAO this was like the first video I ever watched on TH-cam, besides some Fred video.
Wow o_0 really good
Fascination max is the hardest song of DDR sn, but i didn't see in the video...
but that really awesome!! =)
what makes these songs difficult is that they fatigue you so badly and you have to push through it. when you're constantly switching out people you don't have that problem. this is a lot less difficult than you might think
Almost 2024
Checking in lmao
same lol, I just tried it but failed in maxx unlimited
I still come back to here from time to time to remind myself what it was like to play DDR with my older brothers in 2004
The feeling of hearing the machine and then searching for it in an arcade cannot be replicated
The video was fast forwarded a little in the end.
- Respect
MrLedZeplin, you are crazy! Yea, the fatigue kills you but the timing on these songs are crazy hard too. I can play on expert but not THAT well. The last guy, with the tank and white arm band on, was awesome! Give props where its deserved. Also, I mostly play at home so have no backbar which def helps with these songs. i need to buy an arcade DDR. lol!!!!
It looks like the last guy intentionally misses the final freeze arrow. But whyyyy?
Hilarious. I can finally pass MAX 300 and Sakura with an A on Heavy.
Kind of sad cause this nothing compared to ENDYMION and Paranoia Revolution. :(
One day I'll be a good player. xD
I remember seeing this video when I was 12 or 13 years old and making it my inspiration to get to that caliber. Now 7 years later, I'm barely scratching the surface they can easily tear through.
OMG AMAZING
The guy towards the end, who refused to hold onto the bar, is the true winner of the tournament
damm "no bar is cheating" is still a thing
Watching this video triggered my asthma
its been 4 years and i still cant find anyone who asked
@@axn- 💀
Oh, well thanks for telling me! I'll rethink getting the metal pad.
These songs are now warmups compared to all the other boss songs nowadays. Good times though!
What about darude sandstorm
Emiliano_Gaming That only be on MAX 1 PS2
Not in it. As they did the oni course called legend road, which featured all the hardest songs up to par with ddr extreme.
Max 3000
Jeez, I remember this. The Albany NY scene was SO lit when I was learning the game!
That was insaneeee
No Bars = True Champs
You are now a moderator of Music Game Hell
Staiain can't do this shit
raceofheroes 16 haha yeah
Simply amazing! I could play DDR my whole life and Never get that good!! Wow!
this video is older than me god damn
Sakura isn ´t hard XD
+Capamike isn't hard when you keep playing on beginner mode.
It was knocked down to a 13 on the x scale
Im not impressed...I've seen people do songs with both sides on the hardest difficulty
it's 2006 and ddr, you should see the guys playing itg on expert 21 without bar
Yea dude this was when the game was pretty much new, at the time all these guys were amazing. Now its ITG where the stepcharts are insane, people do "keyboard" charts on their feet.
uneliasmarsu it's actually like 2002
I bet u cant even do any good of those songs
@@greentea_vsrg this was taken in 2004
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG!
Omg, I'm so jaw dropped right now. I thought I was pretty good at DDR but just seeing this makes me feel like I'm on basic again lol ;p
i can only hope to someday be this good.....amazing......
I miss these days 😭
i remember this song, i would always be like NOPE if it came on...just watching them gives me an adrenaline rush, and their transitions to another player is so smooth!
Same here at all the malls I go to, & I swear all the malls I go to have gotten so lame without arcades anymore; it's so bull since now everyone just plays crappy games online. You don't get that feeling of awe playing games online with a pro as you do when you see a pro like this playing DDR in person, it's beautiful.
Incredible
I have never been so jealous of DDR players in my life until now...
wow this is like 11 years ago...time flies by
i like how the squeaks goes with the song
After a while, it reminds me of tap dancing :) Pretty awesome
the legend road
damn... tha's awesome....
that is kind of insane!!!
underground as hell back in the day haha
This is insane lol I'm so glad they came out with Dance Central at least there are some real moves on tat game
i love this kind of events!
ive never seen anyone dance like that, awesome
Thats a good idea!
this is insane
Thanks. This was what I mostly did in my late teens and early 20s. The NYC DDR scene back then was so fun.
I haven't seen this video in probably 15 years and forgot about the ending being so cold when he walked off, lmao!
this needs to come back!!
if it weren't for that meddling CRT refresh rate we would see the notes!
haha I could do this now. Its funny looking back seeing how hard this used to be.
THIS CRAZY!!!!!! O.O I choose basic see the arrows and panic! God they are wicked!!
Oh how we have come so far.
Expert mode on in the groove quite honestly makes ddr heavy mode songs like these look like childs play
I love the well timed and on beat switch off at 7:05
HOLY EFFING SHIZZ! I didn't know a person could move their feet so fast! I woulda fell flat on my face, tryna do that.
Looks pretty intense.
But still...
Brings back Memories.
hella bad ass brings back memories i was only able to tackle max 300 lol these guys are pro!!!!
Oh my god I feel so old now!!!
