this thread is probably going to get locked because this discussion topic comes up often and no one ever reaches a consensus. i don't bar rape, i use it on occasion but it's easier for me not to. if other people want to use the bar i have no problem with it
ppl make fun of you because they think it's waaaay easier with the bar even though it's not... and you might as well use it cuz that's whaT it's there for

Well, im trying to think about it because occasionaly, i hold onto the bar as well.

But i suppose one could say that since the majority of your weight is on your arms, you legs wont get as tired as fast, so your making easier? Maybe without your body weight your feet are more nimble.

I havent a clue why its so looked down upon, it just is.

Some people say its "whimpy" because it makes it easier to move your feet because all your weight is on your arms but that's just it...ALL your weight is on your arms while trying to keep a grip and balance and move your legs. I think using the bar is nothing to look down on.

I only use the bar if i'm trying to save energy, pass a 10 footer or other hard song, or on crossovers, it just seems i can put my foot on the arrows easier. If someone calls you a whimp for using it. Tell them to try Maxx without it. Most of the time they shutup.

I'm too short to use it, really. I've never used it. I'd rather not ever have to use it because then I might become dependent on it. The only other people who never use it are people who play mostly at home and thus don't have bars to do most of their practicing with.

I use it because I have the crappiest stamina, and I always play at home with light clothes. u.u;;

Shoes really DO take it out on you..

see there, "bar rapping" is like "camping" in other games, the ones that dawg it are the ones that can't do it.

I think bar raping is for the weak, haha! But then again, I find AAing, or even AAAing a song completely BORING and not crowd pleasing whatsoever and is completely unimpressive. I can do 10 footers without the bar just fine...using the bar just looks bad.

personally, I have tried using the bar and I don't like it because I'm not as mobile. I like sliding my feet all over the pad. For some reason, it seems to drain my stamina more.

I tried doing Max 300 with and without the bar. Without it I ususlly get winded when it does the 5 step quick runs after thr freeze and finish without much of a problem

With the bar. right after the barrage of quick 3 steps runs before the freeze, completed the song hating life.

Also, I figured out how to crip walk on the machine on Saturday, I'm a HAPPY BOY!
I'm going to get shot one of these days

also, funny experience. I saw these asian kids to all 3 max's and PS WITH the bar. I get up and challenge them like half an hour later to do Max 300 without the bar. They were freakin DONE before the Freeze.
Bar rapers have no stamina. no stamina = WEAK

I say if you're going for the AAA, do anything you can to get it.

However if you're too punk to even pass the song without some kind of outside help (bar raping), youre obviously not ready for that level, so stop kidding yourself that you passed it.

The only way I could possibly pass MaxX Unlimited on Light(yes, I know I'm sad) is to bar rape. I still can't pass it.

try Unlimited WITHOUT the bar on light. Then when you get to Heavy, think about adopting the bar again.

I bar rape pop4 normal..does that make me a bad player? If you want to use the bar, USE IT, no one else's opinion matters, it's your money so play how you want. the only time it's not allowed is if a tourney says NO BAR RAPING ALLOWED (we had one in the NW and it was fun

) I wouldn't do it to do light songs though unless you have an injury or something that makes it so you can't play without it (or you're MAing on high speed mods

)

I'm a total bar raper, much like caffy up there, I use the bar for everything, even doubles

for fun one day i decided to play a few cata sets without the bar and AAd tsugaru, so deep, matsuri, R&P, saints, and full comboed exotic ethnic (little fast for me to PA on 2x AND x over)

I think thats proof that the bar doesn't mean squat except for its a stamina saver and great for PAing
