If you want to act like He-Man, grab a sword and stand on the peak of one the mountains in Valua then stick your sword into the sky screaming "I HAVE THE POWER!!".Then get struck by lightning just like He-Man.
I'm going to an ITG tournement this Saturday. I am predicting that my best friend will win; he's the second best in Utah and the only person that can beat him is out of town.
As for me, I just hope that I beat a few people before I get eliminated.
I played the Disney DDR in the arcade next to Space Mountain with my brother last week. Then he played some other dancing game that had diagonal and center buttons, and the movie of the first song he picked was some anime about a girl who met some giant floating eyeballs and got into an escape pod from a floating island, except it had a really high framerate for anime. Then he tried a song that had some videogame guy, like from EarthBound or something, but he didn't get very far in that because he picked a really hard level. But that's okay. He still has the Disney DDR and DDRMax at home.
I built my own metal pad to use with stepmania and used it when I was at school, but now that I live two minutes from the arcade I haven't touched it all summer.
A friend of mine bought all the materials (over USD $100) and then gave up and gave everything to me. I followed these instructions and built it. It was really hard. That really wasn't the best dancepad design, but I went with it because I already had all the parts for free.
I made the softpad mod where you attach the pad onto wood and staple plastic hardwood floor covering on top. Let me tell you that it works extremely well. My pad is pretty much invulnerable from being destroyed. Heck, I think it would be a good idea to attach metal plates on the top of my pad to simulate the metal pads.
