It's for PA reasons, when you keep your body stiffer you seem to PA better. At least I do. Plus I have my fists clentch so if somebody wants to jump up on the pad and make fun of me trying to AAA a song. *twack* fist in face...

I don't really have a problem when people use the bar... what bothers me is when people are LEARNING with the bar. I personally frown on that because you will be a stronger player if you learn to play using ALL your weight, on your own, instead of always depending on the bar.
If I'm doing a really fast song, sometimes I grab the bar if I lose my balance or whatever, but I don't bar rape cuz I never want to be dependant on it... eh... that's my 2 cents lol... |

As much as I really dislike you...I have to agree...I rape the bar like there is no 2morrow but I didn't use it for 5 months...I just find it easier to PA with bar.

All that is true you bring up a good point.......When i was learning i never had used the bar until i found Max 300 on Heavy lol Every time i use the bar on that i fail but when i dont use the bar i pass it......but on Paranoia Survivor i need to use the bar i am only 5.8 and i go crazy with my legs and i lose balance so easily ...you know on that part after the freeze arrow...that is when i neeed the bar. but i never used the bar until Heavy |

I feel that if the bar is helpful to you then you should use it. I personally am 6'4" and have a tendency to sit on the bar. This stopps me from getting enough weight on the arrows. To counteract for my balance problem I dont hold the bar i rape the wall. If the wall wasnt there i would fall on my face alot and mess up my good looks. _________________

Yeah, the Drunken Master is my DDR bud, and he is definitely very tall. DMast would definitely not be a happy camper if the machines that we use weren't in a pit with a wall that he could rape. no wall=flying off the machine on afronova
when I do fast crossovers like in CSFILSM or Paranoia Survivor, I touch the bar with one hand. I full out bar rape songs like Era because of the repeated steps with one foot. Any other songs are bar free. |

Use the bar!
The bar is your friend!
Don't be selfish, the bar needs love, too!
When your PA'ing sucks, when you can't pass a song, remember... the bar is always there for you!
Some people like to hold the bar with one hand, some people like to hold the bar with two hands, that's ok. The bar doesn't mind how much you love it.
Although I have mostly played this game without the bar, I must confess: I love the bar!
Ok, that's about as many cheesy cliches on the bar that I can come up with right now. The bar is the second best thing to be part of DDR, the best thing are speed modifiers. Oh, speed modifier how I love thee....
I posted this response in another forum to a bar thread and I kind of liked my own response so much that I posted it again here. _________________

I think its funny when people claim that ifI use the bar and they dont, they are better then me. If I get the same score as you and I use the bar, and you dont, we are equal. Doesnt matter what means you use to get your score, you got it. |

so...if i use the controller and get the same score, we're still equal?
if u got the same score as me and u used the bar, u will get a lower score than me if u didnt.
i think konami talked about the bar as something put in so players have something to lean on for support if they lose their balance and slip.
i would just feel awkward if i used the bar. i always thought it would make more sense if it was place in front of u instead of in back of u. |

I think it does matter. It means that one person got the score on their own and the other person needed the aid of the bar in order to achieve it. Maybe it doesn't make them "better than you" but they had to do a lot more work in order to achieve the same score you did. |
