Does anyone here play stepmania? Also, what are your best songs and/or favourite songs if you do play?

I hadn't played it for a long while but picked it up again the last week or so. I used to be really into it and used to compete with my friends even. Now I just pick it up whenever I'm in the mood to listen to music while doing something. (Same with audio surf.)

Although I'm not a huge fan of the song, I play the Gundam Seed Opening on stepmania because the arrows are challenging and it has a nice flow.

I do play, but in keyboard I've only played up to Standard, and I've been only able to play on pad a pair of times in my lifetime. Still, I have a nice (but small) collection of simfiles.

I got a lot of my songs from a friend, but I tracked down these songs packs and I'm currently testing them out. Most seem pretty good although some are ridiculously hard. Actually, I'd even go so far as to say some border on the impossible, however most of the songs have light and standard modes as well. I tend to play on heavy for all but the most extreme songs. Maybe I'll post a video sometime. *shrug*

I play using the keyboard, though I do play actual DDR as well. Never tried hooking stepmania up to a pad though, so I don't know how well it works.

You play it with the keyboard arrows? @.@

I used to play a lot of DDR in 2003-05 but I made a cosplay out of my old DDR pads this year ^^

I pick DDR back up usually on a whim and play it for a couple of weeks. I'm very sporadic with that game. Then it will sit around for a month or two before I consider playing it again.

As far as stepmania is concerned, playing on a keyboard may sound like cheating, but some of the songs get pretty ridiculous. When my fingers can barely keep up I have to wonder if some of the songs were ever meant to be played normally.

I haven't touched DDR in, probably, 3-4 years (or even more) let alone StepMania. I wonder why.

Haven't played Stepmania in years, around the same time as railgun. I just grew bored with it.

Can't blame you guys. Things just tend to lose their flavor after a while. Every once in a while I get nostalgic or a random bit of inspiration hits me and I'll get back into an older game for a while though.

Inspiration makes you want to play a game? Inspiration usually makes me want to create things. Like the OSHT movie I want to direct one day.

I suppose I'm stretching the term a bit. I suppose I could just call it a renewed interest. I haven't had any real inspiration in a long time, otherwise I'd work on one of my stories, or draw something.

I've only played DDR/Stepmania-type games in arcades/using my old housemates PS2 one year. Also played this air-hovercraft-surfboard race game using DDR pads - can't remember the name

I feel the same way. I started to use the controller because I could do everything expert A+ plus I was tired of hitting people in the face with my retarded arm flailing.

I think the funnest part about both DDR and Stepmania is starting out personally. You really feel like you're improving and each song completed is this major achievement. By comparison, once you get good it's just an exercise (literally) in exhaustion. Worst part is when you're on a hard song and the mat is slowly drifting away from the TV screen.
