lol. No, but it sounds pretty damn amusing.
See, if i could somehow input arcade scores into this, my expert percentage would be a bit higher. _________________

Since I've never used the bar at the arcade or used any substitute at home, I'm not an expert on the physiology of it, but the basic concept is that you take as much weight as possible off your feet, right? Putting your weight elsewhere allows you to move your feet faster, yes?
I wonder if anyone has tried suspending themselves from the ceiling using a harness, so that the feet are just barely brushing against the pad? Then you'd have even less weight on your feet... same concept as the bar, but moreso. You could adjust the length of the cables holding you up so you'd be at just the right height to still trigger the panels, but still keeping your legs as close to weightless as possible.
Yes, I think this is incredibly stupid, but it's the logical extension of the bar concept. I hope nobody actually tries this, because if they did then everybody would be doing it within a year or so and there would be non-stop flamewars about whether "harness rapers" (maybe they'd just be called "hangers") were cheating or not. _________________

Lol, harness rapers.
And Whiz, you do realize that without like, an average of around a 98 on all intense courses, you're gonna lose too much points off that to ever hit 322+.
Hence what i meant by decent score. If you're going for an eventual 325, anything under a ** isn't useful.
I'll finish up my courses, and see what i myself have left. _________________

322+ is certainly possible with a couple marathons under 98% (Energy, Breaking Point, Caddywhompus), but 325.00 is another matter.
I finally gave in and put Machine Difficulty on 1 and passed Breaking Point no bar (no bar!!) on my CF (got 69.42%). I am currently DEAD TIRED. I don't think this was cheating, since my ending score is the same either way as long as I don't fail. Still, no-bar more than made up for it.
Anyway, I am now in the 320 club! My exact score is 320.18. I think I can reach 321.00 by improving my worse scores (non-**'d-mediums, for example) but 323.23 is a good ways beyond my reach as far as no-bar CF play goes. _________________
