Trick bar use...

[Sir_Zebo]

ive seen the same thing and if you know he person doesn't need it i call that one thing bar rape

[boathack]

I think the bar gets in the way. The only time I use it is if I think it can help me on the HOLD steps because the long ones always seem to go bad, maybe I need to weight 200lbs to keep the button depressed.

There was a guy in the arcade somewhere I went before saying you must be atleast 12 or older to use the bar on a machine the size of this.

What is cylindrical, sticky, worn-out and found at an arcade?

A DDR trick bar, raped to hell by fat chicks.

According to the Nintendo DS commercials, "Touching is good", or something like that.

I sexually harrass on catas and pies, but I don't like to do it. Double-hand is too restricting anyways.

Anyways, rape on.
And remember to use a condom.

I've only played at the arcade 3 times and the rest was on Xbox. I have only caught myself using the bar if I'm losing my balance or on long freeze arrows.

At home I've used a chair as a make shift bar on hard songs (for me that's the 8-10 foot range)

Now that I'm getting to the 10 foot level, I tried bar raping MaxX Unlimited and actually did worse than I do normally. It hurts my arms too much to rape the entire song...for balance, like if I'm about to smash my face into the screen, I'll hold on with my left hand but that's about it. Yeah, bar sexual harassment w00t!

Yeah same here, i AAA some many songs on this games. I need to stop using it. I prolly have over 250 AAA's just by using the bar.

Anyone else finding the rigors of tournament play, particularily with the increased difficulty of In the Groove, are making it essentially impossible to not use the bar? I think everyone in the top sixteen at the last ITG tournament I went to used the bar when it mattered, even on the easiest songs.

I guess when you really get good at it, and you can position your hands on body in such a way that it doesn't move you backward and affect the angle with which you hit the up arrow, it just improves your balance and fantastic attack. It doesn't seem to particularly improve your stamina, however, at least not anymore.

Ironically, though I have 145 Heavy/Oni AAA's, I didn't do any of them without the bar. Basically every other score was bar though.

I personally find it hard to use the bar as a life line, I'm not that tall so it is not the easiest thing for me to hold on with both hands. as for it's use, I say to each their own, though it should be used mainly for its purpose, tricking.

the only time i see the bar used is when players are on heavy and a 10 footer. then then only use 1 hand. they still pass with an A too. wow. i wish i could do that.

I just always thought the bar was used to reduce the amount of physical strain on your body, you know so it doesnt tire you out as much, then again i use the home version more, i kind of suck at arcade

[voldekillssnape]

does it really matter. If u like to use it...use it. Who cares if some idiot doesnt like u using it. That is on them. Yasu and Take use a trick bar, nobody complains, u use the trick bar, u r forever hated on.

[DarkJediBrent]

Err....this is annoying me...

When I learn a song I always use the bar, my feet can only go so fast without the bar and until they learn to get faster (which they usually do) the bar is a godsend....

I mean it's a really good curve to those learning how to play, I mean I wouldn't even be in heavy now without that bar, and its not like people use it for every song....

But yes unfortunatly fat chicks make love to that bar....(reminds self to wash hands after touching)
