Why Is Using The Bar Bad?

[SCWolf]

Using the bar. How do people think it is being cheap. it's the same thing if you arent using it.

[SCWolf]

and no, i don't expect people to answer this. this is the last time i post anything in the forum. because everytime i do, i get mocked by someone who thinks they are better than me in some stupid way. so i'm just sticking to playing ffr because when i'm on the forum, everyone mocks me. I thought real seniors were supposed to help those who are new, not mock them.

I wouldn't think using the bar is all that bad, I always use it when I go to the arcade, which is like once a year.

[SCWolf]

thanks for giving me an answer man, it's the first one i got that wasn't mean....

If konami put the bar there, then it isn't bad. I use it on those hard songs like cartoon heroes and max 300. And anyways, the seniors probably mock you just to have a little fun. They do that to most juniors anyways. As soon as they mock you once, they probably would go find someone else to mock. The reason they mocked you last time because you posted a thread for people to add you in the FFR renosance forum, which is not the best place to post a thread like that. Think about it.

[SCWolf]

well i would hope so, because they arent acting like true seniors by picking on people who arent as acheved as they are

I would answer this repsctfully but there's a post on the same page about the exact same thing...

So I say you smell.

Bar use is considered bad when it is the only tool used for balance. For easier songs, it's there for support in case you lose your balance, until you can really get used to your center of gravity and stay upright on your own. For harder songs, it's there so you can maintain balance when your legs are moving at such a high speed, that it's difficult for anybody.

Therefore, if you use the bar during an easy song, you're only admitting that you never learned how to keep your own balance on the game. You're taking the easy way out, instead of getting used to the game as originally intended.

I think that using the bar is allright even though I don't do it unless I'm trying to play like a 10 footer. I never used it before because I thought it was there for tricks, but correct me if I'm wrong.

The bar can be used for tricks.....but it's there to help you pass hard songs, like Max 300. People get upset when you can pass a song alot but you still use the bar---It's harder to pass it W/O it!


And it's NOT wrong to use it........even on easy songs

You really need to learn more about advertising.

hahaha

nope

No, the reason the bar is considered bad is because people look at it as a tool that cripples your growth as a player. By using the bar, you are falling back (no pun intended) onto something that makes the song easier and makes you look weaker instead.

You can find plenty of people around the world who can do songs like PSM and not even need a bar. Hell, I DON'T need a bar but I DO use a bar because it helps get my accuracy up and keeps me balanced.

To end it, I say to you to just say, "**** it," to the world and keep playing DDR. THe ones who have the elitist attitudes are the ones who usually suck in the long run. However, you WILL need a bar in ITG2. The medium leveled songs in that game are like 10 foot songs on DDR. And I love it. XD

That was a joke, even your cat likes them....


......ok not really but still......

bar is not cheap i mean they woulndt put it in the game if it wasnt cheap.

[Hr2]

Use a bar for 9+ footers and when you're trying to FC/AAA other songs. You need to play without a bar at the start to get used to the game and get stamina...

The original intention was not to be used as a crutch, but to prevent people from toppling backwards while playing; a safety measure. In fact, I think it actually says somewhere in the konami handbook for a DDR machine that you're not to hold onto it.

[Triplex72]

lol we I went to the arcade last, it was around christmas and they put like this shiney-sparkle covered tinsel, and after we were done our hands ripped some of the tinsel and were covered with sparkles.

All machines now have a hand grip on the bar. GG.

They lied

And even so, by the time DDR Extreme came out Konami knew what that bar was going to be used for. So by Konami's rules, THE BAR IS FAIR PLAY!
