I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.  

 

50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.

 

Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

okay you want a dumb ask how about this

Do you know a lot of other people that will actually play DDR in a fursuit, or is it something rare? I happened to recently think about one of the other players I knew from when I was in college that also had a fursuit, but I only ever saw him play in it once, during Halloween.

There are for sure other people that play in suit, I've spoken with a few of them. I wouldn't call it rare, at least in the overlapping circles of "plays DDR at least semi regularly" and "has fursuit".

It's like, a dumb idea. Like it looks cool but being in fursuit is already exhausting and sweaty and doing DDR on top of that is just, a lot. I guess dancing (normal) in fursuit is the same but that is usually more appealing to the average person... that watches people in fursuit or whatever.

I'm the only person I've ever seen play doubles in suit, and most people I've seen play in suit will use bar as well, which is just a very different way of playing. I'd love to see more people play the way I do, no bar doubles with emphasis on body flow (ideally), because if nothing else that means I get to see it without having to do it myself.

But I also just think everyone should play that way. It's very fun. Doubles is super overlooked. But as with most things with DDR, accessibility is a huge issue.

I think it's cool you can do it, at least!

Now that I think about it, I could probably figure out a way to start trying Doubles at home, I've got two (beat to hell, mismatched) hard PS2 pads, but having somewhere to do it would be tricky and cramped.

The hardest part is keeping the pads in the same spacing in relation to eachother. You'll be putting a lot more lateral force into the pads as you go up in difficulty and if they're not well secured they'll move and mess up the spacing in between.

Please remind me tomorrow to measure the gap between the inside arrows. There's a couple inches of space there that you'll want to aim for when setting yours up.
