				| Sounds more like OCD than superstition. I just play whatever I feel like, no superstition. |  |

				| I never play during the rain, ever. 
 And I can only play my best after having played A and V. Otherwise their letter rays blind me.

				| Hmmm...Thats funny, when I was reading that all i could think of was "Obssesive Compulsive Disorder, Obssesive Compulsive Disorder!"  I just always start my game with one of my favorites like A-Minute, Holic, Drifting Away, or something of that sort, but I don't really have any "superstitions" persay.  Oh yes, I also NEVER play with shoes on, I mean NEVER.  Now I know thats wierd for most people!  _________________

 As other people have said, this post has "obsessive compulsive disorder" written all over it. You don't have superstitions, dude. A superstition is a belief that if you do or don't do something, it'll have a good or bad consequence (a DDR-related example would be something like you have to play DDR in a certain pair of shoes because they're your "lucky shoes" or something). You can't explain why you do the things you do so obviously there's something other than superstition causing it. Your ideas that you have to play 3 other Bemani games before DDR and the order in which you play songs are definitely sound like they could be signs of OCD. You better go get some help, dude!

				| HEY!  I HAVE THAT SHOE SUPERSTITION!  i wont play in anything else but my omar hassen version of vans...i've had then for 2 years now...just about as long as i have been playing ddr.  but i think what he's tlaking about are superstitions..i think the word he is looking for is "ritual".  and in that case..i always lean on the bar with my back and elbows just before i start a song..any song.  i dunno why.  something doesnt feel right if i dont..and i then mess up cuz my mind is somwhere else. _________________

 My arcade has 4thmix+ and Extreme, when I play 4th, I'm always on the left, but when I play Extreme, I have to be on the right.
