Every1 please. If u use the bar thats coo and if u dont then thats coo 2. Btw that guy who said he has a friend who works at an arcade and has a big sign that says no bar rapeage only on 9 and above. I dont think he has any justification saying how ppl should play and especially when theyre payin 4 their games not him. If anyone ever tryed tellin me that while im playin or b4 or after i would tell them 2 frick off.

Wait are you saying you don't use the bar the whole song like most people don't?

Or the opposite, you don't use the bar and most people do?

using the bar is should be for these only reasons of what i do.

-recovery

-catching up

8 and up footers I will understand but anything under a 6 is not good.

And on a plus you're actually weaking your performance since the upper part of the body and the weight is being pushed down while playing lowering the toatl performance by 32% Trust mme it is a true fact you can ask any other DDR player and I bet he or she will tell you the same thing.

I could understand if you said this was your personal policy, but get it through your thick head. Noone cares what YOU think when they are the ones on the pad, paying THEIR money.

If you've got good pads, using the bar shouldn't affect your ability to hit the steps.

And where did you get these percentages? Was there some kind of pointless study to try and figure out how much engery was not used when someone holds onto the bar?

It is not a "true fact". It depends on each player. nono.gif I personally have much better control when using the bar, but try not to use it because of personal preference, because I don't want to be reliant on it.

kthx.

Barring anything is fine. And if you disagree, kill yourself.

You know, 53% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Bar raping is annoying if it's on Beginner. Newbies play Higher and rape the bar, I swear! It's so annoying!

Clarify...did you do it on heavy or on oni. On heavy i would say you shouldn't need the bar since that song is slow, but on oni maybe because of the gallop steps.

I say, use the bar if it helps you, but otherwise don't bother.I use the bar on songs i'm trying to raise my PA on, it helps me, and i use it on fast songs when i start to get tired, but otherwise i don't.

In all my days of Playing DDR, I have never used a bar. I've never really seen a point... but I think after that last failure with R3 (Heavy) I'll see if this bar helps at all.


(~Must do this when no one is watching me >_>~)

But I agree on the fact that people shouldn't use the bar unless it's 8 or U... and even some 8s you can pass without it...

~shrugs~

I'll get back to you on the bar thingy tommorow night or before the end of the week.

There's no need to use the bar...ever, I don't care if you don't have the endurance to pass a song, you're mentally handicapped or whatever excuse you can come up with.
