way off

This is the second-lowest step rating in the game of In The Groove, only to Miss. It is approximately equivalent to the "Boo" (pre-SN) or "Almost" (SN/SN2) in DDR and causes the life meter to drop. A dash prefixing or suffixing the rating indicates which way the player is off (-WAY OFF for early, and WAY OFF- for late.)

Several Way Offs on that cluster threatened to fail me, but luckily I pulled through and passed.

excellent attack

A method of playing the game of In The Groove where the player attempts to get as many Excellents as possible instead of Fantastics.

I tried excellent attack on this song, so that's why I only have an A-.

great-

Indicates a late "Great" step rating in the game of In The Groove. To get to Excellent or Fantastic, the player should step a bit faster.

I got a few great- in this song, but luckily stepped a bit faster to correct it and got a star!

matrix walk

A freestyle move in DDR where you face the bar, grip it with both hands and walk up the screen. This is frowned upon as it can damage the machine.

I just matrix walked and broke the screen, and got kicked out of the arcade.
