Know what's funny? It takes a really good amount of upper body strength to really bar rape and score well on a ten footer. People think that the bar makes things take less energy - this is just not true. It transfers some of the effort from your lower body to your upper body, so you're putting in just as much effort.
But alright, sure - using the bar gives you better balance and therefore, theoretically, better accuracy. But come on, isn't that the whole point of PA? Do whatever's best, whether it's using the bar, flat footing, staying on your toes, or standing on your head. _________________

well i've never really used the bar but i have been tempted to use it not for stamina but for when im losing balance. especially on those stupid sakura gallops. i think that's what the bar was meant to be used for |

Just wipe it off...? It's not that big of a deal. I doubt guys would be doing "that" right before they started playing, then put their hands on the bar.
And females could do the same thing, you know. It's not just guys. _________________

I read everything, but you don't have a good argument that's all. Saying that you're stupid if you don't use everything necessary to give you an edge isn't a good argument. In the most extreme case, why don't you backstab your opponent or break his leg just before the match, therefore you'll win for sure.
SaeNoDa wrote: | The POINT of this thread is that the ONLY reason people don't use the bar is because of it's STIGMA. That's right. Social Stigma. Just like people don't like shopping at Kmart because it makes you look ghetto. SAME THING. You can make up excuses that the quality is lame or something, but it's not that, you want to wear brand name clothing because of the SOCIAL STIGMA.

Ok, that is so NOT true. I was the only guy who didn't bar rape. More than 80% of the players I know uses the bar.... therefore if I was just doing like everyone else, I would bar rape.

You don't need to touch the bar, nor play heavy to realize that the bar gives an advantage, it's just common sense. FYI I passed PSMO without touching the bar anyway. _________________

Just play, screw what other people say. 99.9999% of the time, the people that whine are really complaining because they need some way to justify why their scores aren't as higher as the person they are complaining about... so they come up with this righteous crusade about how they're playing the game the "right way" and suffer because of it. So they treat the object the other player is "whoring" (they always use the word whoring) like some kind of game breaking cheat that obviously the developers didn't realize would ever be used, even though it's such an increadibly obvious thing.
Okay, I'm done. |
I love you...finally someone makes sense. |

I agree about the first statemet above. I know to many people who as soon as they start a song, no matter what the difficulty, they fall right straite back onto the bar. I have been trying to quit using the bar, but i still find myself using it now and again.
AND PSMO WITH OUT THE BAR!?!?!?!? OMG!!! you should be given the medal of honor!!! seriously, i cant even get half way WITH the bar, so congrats! _________________

SaeNoDa, in a tournament in which bar raping was allowed I would use it vs other bar rapers if I thought they would beat me using it, although I would NEVER EVER use a bar vs someone who wasn't using it as well, it is just an unfair advantage. So you beat me with the bar, then I challenge you to face me without it. If you lose you have ZERO RIGHT to say your better. Because you aren't. It is like the guy above, what, you can beat me on PSMO with the bar? But you can't even pass a 9 footer? Wouldn't really care about that if he didn't call his friend a noob for beating him on PSMO, it is that kind of elitist bar raping noob atitude that really gets annoying. I use the bar, often. I don't consider myself better when I beat someone with the bar then lose when I stop with it. Beat me with the bar, then without it, then you can brag. Otherwise go play at an arcade I'm not at because you have some serious problems with respect. |

Bar rape? What kind of phrase is that, it's actually Bar Holding. Raping isn't a good thing, if the bar says no.. it means no.
But either way bar raping would probably tire you out more. I bar rape on max300 if I'm tired. But it makes it alot harder to play sometimes while bar raping. It's funny when people bar rape on blondie girl standard. |

It's actually difficult (at first) to crossover while full out bar raping..especially at Paranoia Survivor speed..The end run of EE isn't too fun either, try it sometime before you knock it _________________
