EBA is an amazing game. Assuming you just bought it means that you just started and either chose one or two star difficulty. At first it's a breeze, but eventually the game gets very unforgiving. The good thing about it is that just like any rhythm game, going up a level is a new experience, so it should last you quite a while.

Countless times I have a little kid and their parents watching. Usually the parent holds the kid back, but you get the unavoidable situation where the parent goes to get quarters for the merry-go-round and the kid goes nuts at the machine. I try my best to avoid them (since I'm cheap and don't like losing my round from minor inconvenience), but it tends to go wrong.

I don't blame you. I usually don't have much of a problem at my arcade, since people mostly play ITG and it's usually dead on weekdays anyway. You occasionally get the one person stomping like crazy, which at that point I like to offer the advice you did and say "you don't have to stomp," and give an explanation claiming that you use less energy. But most of the time it's a little kid and rather than deal with parents you're pretty much stuck waiting for them to either fail or finish.

Ah Be For U. I remember the first time I played DDR I encountered Breakdown. I love that song so much. I actually checked out some of their other music and found myself a new musical interest. Riyu and Noria will always be my favs.

I don't think it is possible to put hands with custom edits. I think it only allows a max of 2. Then again I tried that on Extreme. Maybe a new version (I'm not sure)?

My fav will always be the the Blue Bomber Megaman. I didn't exactly grow up with Megaman, actually first played it when I was 10, Megaman 8 was awesome. Eventually I played all the rest and it was history.

It's very fun, but also challenging. When I saw it used in Gamestop, I had to get it especially since GC games are hard to come by (especially Ikaruga).
