Why Is Using The Bar Bad?

Re: Why Is Using The Bar Bad?

I allways use the bar, now matter what, and they say if you use the bar it doesn't take as much energy out of you. Well energy isn't a problem for me, I have ADHD, so i could play Pandemonuim on chalenge on SM for PS2 without the bar, and still be able to run 10 laps around a football field.

Where did you get ADHD?

I love it when people who brag, try to do so, and also try make it look like otherwise...

Oh, and its cheap to everyone because it saves you stamina. The game is called DDR, not DDBar... and its a true test of Stamina and Skill if you can stay balanced and accurate without using it.

From the hardware store.


But seriously, why is this such a discussion. If you want to use it, use it, if you don't, don't. Don't attack others just because they don't do what you do. That's like all the people who use Cmods attacking the Xmods because they are different.

Re: Why Is Using The Bar Bad?

i think using the bar is alright in some cases.

however...
using the bar doing "cutie chaser" on beginner mode isnt one of them.

The bar is in a way cheap..It allows you to half the amount of weight that you press on your feet allowing you to move your feet faster...If you use it I have nothing against you as long as you enjoy the game

Whatever happen to the days when people who whored the bar were criticism to the point where they either quit playing, or learned how to play right?

If you use the bar, you are a straight up bitch.

I do admit that when playing 10 footers, it is acceptable to use the bar, but anything less is a shame.

Ace Hardware and The Home Depot are hardware stores. I should try to look for that in those locations.

Re: Why Is Using The Bar Bad?

The bar should be used only to keep yourself balanced in the early stages (when you're prone to falling due to lack of balance and experience), and after that, rare are the good excuses for using it.

That said, in all fairness the only thing that should happen when "bar raping" is discrediting your own skill (mind...after seeing One Winged Angel on ITG2 arcade, I can't blame the guy for using the bar there). Given enough practice, most anything can be done without the bar.

I do not claim to be able to do EVERY song on DDR/ITG without the bar, but I'm working on it and I'm getting there.

When in doubt, don't use the bar. You'll get better faster that way.

Re: Why Is Using The Bar Bad?

The Bar is ok as long as ur not using it on begginer (which i did when i was a noob) and 2-3 years of DDR teaches you to not use it if you practice.
