攻克一款音樂遊戲
Conquering a Game

If you're not into rants, day-in-the-life posts, or complaint pieces, this probably isn’t for you.
people say, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”
Well, I’m learning a new trick right now. But I wouldn’t say I’m exactly an "old dog."
Dogs do seem to play a big role in my life. As a kid, they called me "Mad Dog."
And now, my partner calls me “Alaskan Malamute” (yep, another dog).
And some call me Shiba Inu.
It seems my life is surrounded by all kinds of dog... or dog-like... labels.
Anyway, back to the point.
I’ve been seriously practicing this game for three months, and I’m currently stuck on difficulty level 12.
A few days ago, I was complaining to my partner, saying DDR is ridiculously tough.Then my partner hit me with:
“Are you clocking out mentally after work? You’re supposed to be a learning expert, guiding people on how to learn. And now you’re telling me you can’t figure out a game?”
“Are you serious?”
Honestly, I felt pretty happy about it.
Because my babe called me an expert!
Haha. Let me spin around in a little victory dance right here. I’m thrilled!
Let me think
How do I usually handle things at work? When I first meet a new student, I assess their level, and then figure out if focusing on their strengths or addressing weaknesses will give better results.
I assess because many students don’t actually know where they stand. Some parents think their kid is a prodigy, but when I teach advanced material, the kid tells me my lessons are confusing and hard to follow.
So, after evaluating a student’s abilities, I know which direction to go.
If a student’s strong points have hit a plateau, we work on their weaknesses to help break through that roadblock.
About the Game
In this game, for songs at difficulty level 12, my average score is around 800,000.
At level 13, it’s around 700,000.
At level 14, I fail outright—I can’t keep up at all, and even when I can see some moves, my body just doesn’t respond fast enough.

Setting a Goal
Without a goal, life feels directionless.My goal is to score 800,000 on level 14 songs within six months (1,000,000 is the max score).
Execution
So, what’s the plan?I’m aiming to get my level 12 scores up to 900,000 first since building a solid foundation is key. There are still a lot of moves I can’t do and some charts I can’t fully read.
I’ll practice about twice a week, considering muscle strain and knee stress. If I practiced daily, I think my knees would give out.
Why 900,000?
With 1,000,000 being the max, 900,000 should be a decent target, right?
It reminds me of a time I applied for a teaching job.
When I walked in, a part-timer handed me a mock exam and told me to complete it. Then they just said to wait for a callback. (If I did poorly, I probably wouldn’t see anyone but that part-timer.)
I must’ve done alright because I got called back for a second interview, where I finally met the director. This time, they had me do a demo lesson, followed by an interview, and then we moved on to salary and benefits (though they never told me my exact score, which I was dying to know).
After a week or two, I asked the teacher who supervised me, “What’s the usual passing score for an exam here?”
He said, “90 out of 100.”
So, I guess I scored somewhere close to that? It’s still a mystery.
Note
For anyone wanting to train in this game, here are a few tips:
- Watch out for knee strain—try to step lightly and avoid stomping.
- Control your breathing.
- Engage your core muscles.
- Wear proper shoes (I once saw someone dancing in heels—it’s risky).
- Warm up beforehand.
- Work on coordination.
- Adjust the speed to something you can handle. I usually set it to 530.
- Some songs require tons of twisting, so watch your waist or you might end up spinning out of control.
In short, stay safe!
Interaction Question
- How do you typically tackle a game? (This can be any game—board games, mobile games, etc.)
- What’s your strategy or approach? I’d love to hear your thoughts and tips!
聽說
聽人說：「老狗學不會新把戲。」
我最近在學一個新把戲
我應該還不算 老狗
硬要說的話
應該是──中年狗 /ᐠ .ᆺ. ᐟ\ﾉ
我真的跟狗很有緣份，小時候綽號 瘋狗
長大之後我家寶貝說我是阿拉斯加 (也是狗)
還有人說我是 「霸道總裁」，他是指「霸道的經理屬性柴犬」的簡略版本
感覺我人生就是各種 苟? 狗? ▼・ᴥ・▼
回到正文
我認真練了DDR (Dance Dance Revolution)三個月，目前卡在難度12
前幾天
我跟我家寶貝抱怨，DDR這款遊戲真的好難喔
「你是上班思維在線，下班就思維下線？」
「你是學習的專家ㄟ，上班就是在指導別人怎麼學習。你現在跟我說你學不會一款遊戲？」
「你認真？」
被我家寶貝一頓嗆
我
我我
我我我我
還滿開心的 ヽ(●´∀`●)ﾉ
因為他說我是專家ㄟ
嘻嘻
嘻嘻嘻嘻
嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻
請允許我先在原地轉三個圈圈
真開心 ε٩(๑> ₃ <)۶з
想想
讓我想想，我平常上班是怎麼思考的
和同學第一次見面，我會先評估他的程度在哪裡。然後衡量繼續加強他的長處收益比較大，還是補他的短處收益大。(尤其是學測前才來，要在幾個月就看到效果的)
先評估是因為很多同學不知道自己在哪裡，有的家長說自己小孩超級厲害，結果我上比較難的東西，同學反應老師教的不好，都聽不懂 ( ˘•ω•˘ )
- 評估完同學的能力之後，才知道往哪裡走。
- 有的同學長處已經遇到瓶頸，這時候補短處，瓶頸可能就會鬆動，那就先補短處。
遊戲
這款遊戲我玩難度12的歌，大概平均分數是80萬，
難度13的歌，大概分數在70萬，
難度14的歌，會死掉 (我根本看不懂，即使有地方看得懂，身體也跟不上 Σ(*ﾟдﾟﾉ)ﾉ
評估
我的動態視力: 秘密
身體素質：秘密
身體的協調程度：秘密
技巧：秘密
音感、節奏：秘密
譜轉成姿體動作的能力：秘密
掌握的基礎動作: 秘密
掌握的進階動作: 秘密
練習頻率：秘密
很好，評估完畢
來訂個小目標好了，人生沒有目標，會沒有方向感
目標
希望半年內可以把難度14的歌，跳到80萬(滿分是100萬)
執行
怎麼執行呢？
我打算先把難度12的歌練到90萬，畢竟基礎還是要先打好。
我很多動作還不會做，很多譜面也看不懂。
一個星期大概練兩次差不多，因為要考慮肌肉、膝蓋負荷的問題，每天練的話我大概膝蓋會壞掉
90萬
為什麼我打算先練到九十萬呢？因為他滿分100萬
90萬應該算是及格分吧！就像是我某年去應徵某家補習班
一進門，只看到工讀生
工讀生就拿一本全模還北模的學測模擬題本給我寫，寫完就回家等通知了
(考得太爛，應該就只看得到工讀生)
我想我考得應該還好，因為我接到了電話，約我第二次去面試，這次我終於見到主任了，先試教，口試完就進入談薪水福利環節 (但沒告訴我考幾分，我很好奇)
所以過了一、兩個禮拜，我問帶我的老師筆試一般要考幾分算及格
他回答我
「九十分」
我應該考差不多的分數吧? (這是個謎 (❁´ω`❁)*✲ﾟ*)
注意
有跟我一樣想練這款遊戲的同好要注意
- 注意膝蓋的損耗，盡量把腳步放輕，不要大力踩
- 控制呼吸
- 注意核心肌群
- 穿適當的鞋子 (上次看到有人穿跟鞋來跳，很危險)
- 先暖身
- 注意身體的協調度
- 調到自己能看懂的速度，我通常調到530
- 有的歌要扭腰、扭腰、扭腰、扭腰，左轉、右轉、一直轉，小心扭到腰和飛出去
總之，安全第一。
範例
DDR(DanceDanceRevolution)難度14的歌像是這樣 【DDR A】 黒髪乱れし修羅となりて～凛 edition～
難度12的歌，像是這樣 【DDR A】 bass 2 bass / Ryu
其他
我常用的DDR網站
- DanceDanceRevolution SP: 這個網站很好用，他還有照難度分級

介紹一下我的DDR偶像
ID:Chris4life
遊戲ID:Chris4life玩家，真的超級厲害，遊戲歌曲剛出沒幾天，他就跳到100萬 滿分，真的超強！
我什麼時候也可以這樣啊?
