Any good legit DDR players?

If the bar was cheating they wouldnt have put it there.

Its not cheating. Its just a tool placed there so lesser players may feel that they are as good as the more advanced players. Hence farming quarters from those who can balance their own weight and those who cannot handle the stress of their entire body moving.

I weigh about 150-155 pounds. I'm six feet, two inches tall. It's incredibly hard to hold myself upright in balance due to the whole "beanstalk" kind of effect. I have no problem throwing myself away from the bar on most things, right up to Pandemonium Hard Doubles. I can FC that without a bar because there are no awkward body motions. Problems arise on things like VerTex^2, with awkward patterns and things of that nature. I have to throw my weight around a lot -- which is mostly in my legs, which is actually more than half of my full height. Something I can't help and, quite frankly, something that would take a long time to correct.

And nforcer, the reason you don't see anyone play PSMO without the bar near us is because you can't play on the inner sensors since they all suck around here. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for me by this point if I were playing on decent pads.

Both speed mods and bar, I have a theory. How about you start off using them one way and progress towards whatever you think is your personal best. Quit trying to compare yourself to other players. Play the game because you enjoy it and because you want to challenge yourself, not because you want to be better than other people.
