I can barely read what they said. I think they said something about a bar and cheating. I think...

Actually, he said something about not using a bat, which makes even less sense...

What are you talking about? I used bats all the time on SM!

I use a bar on stepmania.. on like LoM and Max 300

its frickin gay to play with your fingers and thats it.
Buy an adapter and create your own "arcade style" game.

I have a full paddable mix with awesome steps of 1830 songs. 220 courses I made.

So... what have we learned? Stepmania is a DDR sim... it means Dance Dance Revolution. Keyword: Dance. Not beat the crap out of your keyboard... if you wanna do that.. buy beatmania.

but no.. its not bad to use the bar.. just like DDR

Key Key Revolution(ROFLE WITTY) helps you understand the steps better before/after you play them so you help get a feel for the song.

It also passes the time when you don't have time to break out the pad and get all sweaty. If you want to bitch about finger players, that's just retarded in it's self. Their computer, their download, their setup.

It's funny that you completely contradict your signature's statement with your post, as it is the choice of the player on how they choose to play.

Look at Stepmania Online for christs sake, half the players there ONLY play keyboard. Keyboard and Community Megapacks. Any of arch0wl or Reach's shit.

I play both, so it doesn't matter to me, but leave bitching about other players setup to yourself, because it just starts flame wars.

Now to answer the question: I use a makeshift bar by placing a chair behind my CF when I play, and it's great on songs like Remember December or LoM. I try not to use it when I play <9's though to help out with stamina.

Well, I WOULD play on pad more often if I had a decent one and an adaptor. Getting back on topic, I would only use the bar on some 10 footers and above.

It's also totally useless, as you cannot get actually good using two fingers on the same hand.

Keyboard Stepmania is actually kind of fun... it's really good for airplanes & airports & other situations where getting up & dancing would be either impossible or inappropraite. It doesn't really compare to the real thing, and it's a lot easier (once you've gotten a bit of practice) because things like crossovers are rendered meaningless and because you have a lot more fingers than feet... but it's still fun. I can pass a few 10's on Stepmania with fingers (Bag, plus the 10's from Disney Mix that don't really count), whereas at the arcade the only songs I've dared to try on Heavy are all 5's and 6's.

I sometimes get the bright idea to try and pad a song for the keyboard, like Burning Heat (Full Option Mix). I got a D on it. I'm all about padding. Hell, I can beat people on HVAM (me padding, they fingering). Go figure.
