Still nostalgic for ddr freestyle back in the early 2000s. Saw my first machine in Vegas probably in like 99 and played so much through high school. Must have watched this video a hundred times. Bought a Japanese ps2 and several mixes as well as building custom game pads. Good times
It’s insane to know that most if not all the people in this video are 40+ years old now… I really wish I was born a couple of decades sooner to truly experience this epicness
There was a tv report on Dance Dance Revolution from a Video Game TV show. I have no idea if it was european, american or asian since it was translated to French for Québec TV. I still remember some professional dancers doing real steps on the machine which started freestyle. I also remember the report mentioning to NOT rely on the bar to ACTUALLY play the game. Flashforward to years later with 90% of the players playing only with the bar and barely dancing. I still play any modes without the bar, even if I don’t have a perfect score. The game is much more fun that way! 😊
I remember when DDR came to the U.S arcades and not many people played it. It was cool having all the Japanese versions for playstions as well. Majority which never was made for US. Same with Initial D.
ah simple times. going on vacation to vegas and playing DDR in the arcade with my bro all day while the parents gambled. I remember watching this video, I think before RUclips started, and realized how bad I was at DDR in comparison lmao. What ever happened to Kevin Kim? damn we are old now.
2020 and still having remember of this Konami game and this epic song, I recommend you a movie about this machine in spanish, called "La Máquina de Bailar, from Santiago Segura"
It's worth noting that freestyle tournaments were judged closer to 90% style 10% difficulty. Accuracy factored in, but it was far from the focus. He was there to max out score cards and soak panties.
See how the world talks to me in my language and my undertanding? thanks guys atleast they cant say i was making it up then when i cracked it ilummanati was deployed to clean it up 😭

This video is still amazing after all these years. I miss DDR that game was so fun
The newest version of the game is in arcades if you're still able to play, and in fact better than ever with online support in the US!
Dam dariram is one of the Best songs of the entire ddr saga. To me 3rd and 6th mix were top tier music wise.

This bring back so much memories when me and my friends still played DDR back in the day... such a youthful years (sigh).
Seriously!I just started to tear up a bit😭
I became a DDR fan during the freestyle era, officially since Y2K.
The best dancer that I've ever seen. I can't believe there's many years ago and now (2023) I'm still excited
legend of DDR! the routine's rocks!
The routine's?
Sarah Connor with Arnie cafe scene complication 😭

I am 44 and got back to play ddr . It took me 3 months to get back in form

It was both awesome and annoying dropping that many quarters into arcade machines.
This feels like the first video I ever watched on RUclips. Like 2005.

A question I am asking myself in the year of our lord 2024. Where Is Kevin Kim? Did he ascend to gamer godhood? XD
Free style times, mask free times, DDR GOLDEN AGE.
esa es la manera de disfrutar el DDR
man is dripped OUT
Whatever happened to Kevin Kim? Hope he makes a comeback
I can still freestyle but damn... Youth really was the prime time for DDR...
His routine was “over 9000”
Still 🔥 in 2020

This isn't how i played this song. Cool to see it danced another way
Ufff maestro !! El mejor
We are getting old :(
Okay but for real: it’s 2024 and I STILL can’t listen to Dam Daridam without saying “he’s already won” at the appropriate moment. Was that 8ball?
진짜 이때가 그립다...ㅠ
Temazo!
My best favorite dance music, in DDR 3rd mix arcade games ever,;-)
Quien en el 2024?
Where is Kevin Kim now? I would like to interview him.
Same, but If I recall correctly, he got into a car accident shortly after this tournament and disappeared from the scene.
OMG!!!! 2021!!
this was awesome one time at madison mall in AL this guy free styled he jumped over one of those safety bars i dare you to try that
I recall Kevin Kim also had a routine to Rock Beat. The video is like holy grail of DDR vids. Any chance you have it as well?
Epic song
I used to be able to freestyle 😭
My friend I. High school could do this, I always wondered he he was Able to do it facing backwards! It baffled me
This Golfland Camelot or SHGL
I don't remember. We old AF
This was at Sunnyvale Golfland.
Alguien de peru que recuerde este juegaso ? xd
Alguien de peru que sepa donde venden esas makinas . He visto algunas abandonadas por la 501
@@christianpaguilarc9909 si consigues el dato comparte bro ;)
Quedaban en los happy land, en larcomar y algunas en el centro de Lima. Esto con bust a groove uff
그래 이거지,. 병신같이 발판만 찍는게 아니고
춤까지 춰야 진정한 DDR 이지
Somebody needs to run this through Gigapixel and remaster it
Nice
What difficulty is he playing at ?
Easy. But still hard to do it BACKWARDS, WITHOUT looking the notes. Which means back then, he knew perfectly the notes.
@@byonemesis I was at this tournament. I believe he played it on Basic.

Gawd i miss this. This is DDR. Now its bar rape

شوط لعيون لمؤمنين
When DDR was more than bar rape revolution
Kei Nanjo
Bar Rape Revolution happened because IIDX fans turned DDR into IIDX ON FOOT, all the way down to NO BEFORU REUNION.
Playstation 1 is better than playstation 5!
歌は良いのにダッッッッサww
