Her money, her dancing style. If you don't like seeing her play that way, do something else. It's not like her raping the bar has any negative affects on your ddr kharma.

it just looks incredibly stupid the way people do that sometimes, to a point where one might feel the urge to step in to help them not bar. my friend works in an arcade with an extreme, and thank god, he put up a bigass sign saying "NO USING THE BAR UNLESS THE SONG IS ON HEAVY AND A 9-FOOTER AND ABOVE"

Only been playing in arcades for a few weeks now, but haven't seen too many people bar raping. Most people don't use it much at all. I learned to play at home on my X-box, so using the bar at all seems really weird to me. Granted, I'm only a Standard player who's pretty comfortable on most 5's & 6's and a few 7's. Maybe if I ever try to get to the next level, my bar use will have to increase somewhat. For now though, it just seems real akward to even reach for it.

I think you should only use the bar for 10 foots (if you need it that is).

At Disney World, I saw someone playing Jam Jam Reggae on Beginner on the DDR USA machine and they held the bar the hold time. I don't think using the bar is bad if you only use it for certain parts of the song, or even if you use it a lot during a difficult song but I couldn't figure out why someone was holding the bar the whole time on a 1 footer than is under 100 BPM.

Okay, but why should it be deemed as bad? Can't that person play as he/she wish? As far as I know, it will not affect your performance on the machine. And if he/she gets stuck with that "bad habit", then it's his/her problem.

While I do agree that, personally, the bar did more bad than good for me (for the few times that I've attempted to use it), I think that stating whether people "should" use the bar or not is not something anyone here is in any position to do.

But hey, that's just my opinion... you do whatcha want with it!

This is turning into another bar raping discussion.....

As to answer the original question i indeed have seen people use the bar on light. Normally the reason is because they are just leaving their "noob" status and going onto light, but they've seen us heavy/10 PAers use the bar, so they decide "Hey if the guy passing a ten footer uses it, then so should i." Sometimes u gotta tell them that its not really necessary on light unless they feel more comfortable with it. If thats the case then let them be.
