i hate it when people use the bar like the whole time...the bar is for when you're playing like maxx unlimited on heavy then it's okay to use the bar...but it's not cool to be a bar whore.....

[quote=Foxkillaz]So what if you AAA'd just about every song in the game, big deal. I had a poopy load of fun when I played on the machine, and no one is going to tell me that my experience was wrong, just because they need to whore out their skills at stepping on arrows to just about anyone who will listen.

Nobody would tell you that what youre doing is wrong, but it does seem like youre telling people who aim for high scores that they are wrong... unless i misinterpreted what youre trying to say

The only times where I use the Trick Bar is only when I'm about to lose my balance (treating of it as a "safety net" when I play in Heavy & Up).

I don't have any views on bar-raping since I probably haven't been playing long enough, I've tried with and without and for me both have their +s and -s.

What really annoys me is when I play against my step-daughter who ALWAYS holds the bar, and I'm not doing, and the rest of the family crowd round and are like "You should be holding the bar" to me, because they think that she's playing it the right way. As if she knows better because she plays in arcades more than me, and is younger than me. She wouldn't contemplate playing anything without holding the bar, and she thinks it looks cool too.

I'd like to take her d**n bar away and see if she can still beat me......!

Bar or no bar, it's the person up there who's paying and playing. So I think everyone else should just keep their own opinions to themselves and respect other people. If you're telling ppl that they suck or they're noob cuz they use the bar, then what can I say? You're a moron.

Wow, I'm quoted in a thread I don't think I've ever even visited before. How sweet.

I motion to have every thread that harbors a bar usage argument to be locked, because this sticky exists. You mods do it for other duplicates, why not this one? It's getting old and ridiculously redundant right now.

I'm just stating that every single regular post a member starts on an Arcade experience gets locked, or when someone in Chit-Chat starts a thread on the songs they'd want to see for DDR it gets locked, or when someone posts that they AAed a song in Gameplay, that thread would get locked too -- all being locked on the grounds that they have a corresponding sticky to them already.

Why should this topic be any different? Being that there's already numerous threads on the topic in this forum as well as Gameplay in just the recent weeks that just eventually turn into the same thing, and this one only has sixteen pages total (a lot less than if you were to add all the bar raping threads from the last four months combined), then obviously this topic isn't being nearly as enforced as the other stickies are, and it's causing headache and commotion to people who are forced to reiterate themselves time and time again in multiple instances on the board, simultaneously.

I learned to play at home, so I never really had access to a bar, and never took to it. As for other people using the bar, sure, it's their money and all, but I still think it takes more skill to beat Max 300 barless than with it, but it's still a hard song. Doesn't mean they suck, they're probably just not as good as someone who doesn't use the bar.

I've been playing for almost 2 months on a RedOctane Ignition. I can AA most 5's and 6's and pass all song except 10's.
All without the bar.
The bar is not meant to be raped all the way through an insanely easy song, like what you see happening with people all the time in arcades.

Really, I think if your balance is that bad that you need to use the bar to play on light, you need help. But it's also true that its their money, they play how they want. I started off on consoles so I NEVER use the bar. I feel I do worse with it really.
