DDR EXTREME - Sakura (桜) by RevenG

[@brittanyarford6353]

I practiced this everyday so I could look cool at the arcade playing this on Heavy, I eventually got to where I could do it on doubles. I was very fit that year hahahahah

[@Cuppamilky]

Duuuude same hahaha this song and not having a car to drive was the only reason I was fit back then 😭

[@ViolentxStrike]

14 years ago you’d find me at Trocadero in central London on a Saturday with £30 in my pocket, hitting up the DDR machine. I’m 34 now, may have more money in my pocket now, but what I would give to go back to 2007-2010 being that poor young man, working a part time just to blow most it on a Saturday for some DDR madness.
I was extremely fit too. Max 300, unlimited, legend... no problem.
I remember trying max 300 down at Southend about 5 years ago. I felt like I was having a heart attack when I finished lol... and I must’ve looked like a proper ass too 😆

[@Deuusey]

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaame xD

[@jerstrike]

So do i. I remember playing it all day 20 years ago

[@sirflimflam]

No kidding! Over the course of discovering DDR in ~2001, I had lost something like 30 pounds, the muscles in my legs got disproportionately ripped compared to the rest of my body. Lol For a long time I would always use my last song on this, determined to AAA it. It was very satisfying when I finally did it. I really miss the old arcade scene, the local DDR Freak meetups and competitions at the Nickel City in National City. Good times!

[@ChrisCharleston1]

I always miss that one step on the freeze too used to piss me off lol awesome stuff bro

[@eriksauders5826]

Back in high school this song stressed me out big time. Never did manage to clear it on heavy with anything higher than A

[@_lun4r_]

Erik Sauders well I got real score of AA on challenge

[@UlquiorraRocks4]

I was able to AA it on heavy. Challenge is easy compared to the horror that is heavy

[@rickyo7061]

Higher than an A?? That's great! Why u stressing about that

[@ed3nx913]

@@UlquiorraRocks4 So true!

[@christiansenucok6455]

This is the best game i ever played, love DDR

[@FaithsInMyChest]

one of the few ddr extreme songs i never did well on in heavy... if only i had the equipment readily available, i'd love to spend this evening trying to master it lol

[@kaitlynmaxwell3737]

I have the equipment, but not the space, time, or indecency to bother the people living below me 😂 Maybe once I'm out of college, it's a day off, and the middle of a weekday when everyone is at work.

[@sine_0]

When the "D" came out for a second I thought it was total BS lol

Literally me.

[@julieh5802]

Ah! This song was so Sadistic for timing! I can still remember flailing allover the mat! I thought I was gonna have a heart attack after each attempt.

[@jessica2575]

So many memories of doing this on repeat

[@begelosa]

もう1つのMAXX UNLIMITED

[@kaitlynmaxwell3737]

I loved this song! 😭

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

This is just Maxx Unlimited with Japanese folk music over the top.

[@Riomoviefan]

Dam this beings back childhood memories. I barely remember the name of the game and I finally found it. I remember the first time seeing this game at the arcade and even though I tried this game on light mode....it still kicked my butt.
But I was like 7. I got a DDR MAX 2 for Christmas and I built up my skills and now I might have enough to actually get past light mode.
But seriously though in the arcade this unit was absolutely badass. And the wait line was so unfair having to wait outside of the cyber station in the Merced Mall seems like it took 2 hours just to play 1 game.
I eventually got better but a new version of dance dance revolution came in and sadly I never got a chance to try.... but the newer version I could handle light mode on some songs.
But dance dance revolution extreme was the best thing that ever happened to me seeing a game that actually required your entire body instead of working out your fingers 😒.... Like do our fingers get enough already??? Typing playing video games doing chores ECT. They really need more games like dance dance revolution and the physical health in the world today would definitely be better.

[@guscervantes9626]

Sakura. So beautiful and heartbroken.

[@Jagtress]

That ending is still a killer

[@GallantKnight900]

My favorite part of the song 0:41 - 0:58

good exercise even not playing the real game but moving to the arrows on the video.

ゆりchan yeah a good breaking ur combo was total BS back then

[@Trowa71]

@@axn- Especially that good at that part. It's been years and I still feel the burning rage.

[@ZeranZeran]

Still one of the most satisfying DDR or Stepmania songs I've ever played.
I used to be able to beat this on Hard mode when I was in my young teens, now I'm wondering how the hell I did it

[@lightningshy5287]

When I discovered this on Extreme 2, I pissed my pants.

[@arianam5380]

Even when I was boss at this game...this song made me most angry...GRRRRRR!!!!

[@INeedHerPomPomJuice]

only thing ure a boss of is eating

[@AutumnLovesMelly]

I was pretty good in my days but i never made it through the end of this song too lol

[@Sakyosha]

I am grateful that I was able to do this on heavy back in the day.

Anyone else notice this track is basically Maxx Unlimited?

[@iceedoll]

nunca entendí por qué, ni los steps ni el ritmo se parecen

Isai Blanco Escucha el beat de 桜 y el de Maxx Unlimited. Son exactamente iguales.

Where does the "beat" part come from in the translation?

[@JonathanAuburn]

@@nunes_6 It doesn't, it's implied. Had to add it to keep the syllables at seven :P

I thought that the kimono girl was the dancing character in the game! Not from the background xd.

[@RigbyIsTheMan]

It is her

[@flint9889]

How exalcty is this possible

[@EnsignN7]

Is it me or does the girl in the background video look remarkably like Hell Girl?

[@antoineralic01]

Thats actually Alice from DDR 5th Mix

EASY

[@SwitchyWitch_]

Why does everyone play the easy version of this song?

[@TKRuna]

Easy version?

[@SwitchyWitch_]

Karunamon
yeah because there is a harder version of this... the Challenge difficulty

[@TKRuna]

Oh! I thought this one only had Heavy.

[@opaulo6713]

Heavy is actually harder than Challenge for this song. It has something to do with Oni Courses I believe. Kakumei from Max 2 is the same deal

[@SwitchyWitch_]

Well in the version i have Challenge is alot harder

[@robertomiramiraquilla9978]

Se equivoca, no lo completa los combos

[@dmk12345]

MAX COMBO means the highest amount of combos you got during the chart, not really how many combos are in the song.

[@plaguis1391]

Baby's first 10 foot :) fun as hell chart though
