You like Beedabop ? ;-; I mean I know people like his design but he's really an underrated character in the fandom, I get he is niche and has one map (yet) but he deserves the world fr

(Sorry this took so long to get to)

I adore Beedabop — while the use of live action dancers and footage is what drew me to JD (thank LittleSiha’s documentation of her becoming a coach), maps like Heat Waves and Wasabi instantly stand out and deserve so much recognition for being done with different mediums. Heat Waves in particular is just so much fun to watch, and it really can’t be praised enough how cool it is when JD completely recontextualizes songs

Granted, alas, it doesn’t seem that elegant to actually dance to, which might be why this guy hasn’t caught on. I’m not a dancer, but when I watched a few videos of other people trying this map, I’ve only found one that managed to pull it off without seeming a little awkward (though everyone who does dance to this maps seems to be having fun at least, and when they pull it off, they really pull it off)

I seriously hope the JD team uses Beedabop in a couple more maps, since they gave him such a heart tugging backstory and fun character design (I feel like “Sunshine” from OneRepublic fits his vibe, for a start). If he had been from any other game, I guarantee he’d be a fan favorite. Shoot if Heat Waves was an animation posted independently online (think Vivziepop’s Die Young, or even Rachel Kim’s Diamond Jack), it would easily be one of those much beloved cult classic videos.

Alas, it’s hard to truly stand out in a game of stand outs like Just Dance. Hopefully one day this guy will be allowed to truly shine
