No Bar / No Double-Step DDR

I just think it's so funny that a dance game somehow morphed into a game where people keep their feet stationary and use a bar to keep their balance.


I know that's NORM, but seriously, what the fuck happened, someone just said that not playing the bar and moving your feet is the same thing as turning your body away from the screen.. because make no mistake, that's what double-stepping and holding the bar prevent you from doing.... keeping your balance and moving your feet

Unrelated, I just re-played Egoism on 18, and I can see how you could no bar no double-step that song. I was thinking about the 19 challenge steps, not the 18 hard steps. I also think that that song should be rated at like a 17....

I'm not sure, my friend. I'm not sure...

I always wondered if there was a reason other than "no more background movies" that I never liked DDR Supernova or anything after that...

lmao we're back to "this is a dance game!!!!", haven't had this argument in a while

and no, i was certainly talking about egoism challenge

You do realize I said "In real life", not a youtube video. And I'm not saying it's not possible to do, I'm saying it's RARE.

why the fuck do you care so much how people play a game

---

You said "i haven't seen anyone do it in real life, so i call bullshit". That's not calling something "rare".

Look man, you're the one that brought the aggression to the thread. I just wanted to know if there are people out there who actually are willing to not give a fuck about timings and scores and try their hardest to dance really tough songs, on their own balance. It's a valid form of play just as holding the bar just as double-stepping.

You're a joke.
This thread is a joke.

I'm fully aware. As previously mentioned, I've cleared EGOISM 440 challenge no bar just for the fuck of it, and i certainly didn't get a good score. But you're sadly going to have to accept that the days of no barring are basically over in competitive play.

Just watched this vid... that dude is double-stepping.

You said "play 17s without the bar". He's not using the bar on an ITG 16. Get out.

It's kind of like...



People that frown on pause buffering for trying to get things that seem impossible for them in particular otherwise.

As long as it helps them score good, I don't see the problem.

On the other hand, I don't think we should be too hard on this person and stir up drama. Maybe some people are in on the idea, who knows?

you are a legit dumbass

please fly into the sun

Alright seriously you guys are just ridiculous. If you can't handle the fact that some people might play differently than you I don't know what to tell you. But I do. And I'm god damn amazing at the way I play. And it looks like I might be one of the best in the world at actually dancing to DDR. No double-stepping bullshit. No bar as a handicap. Challenge me if you think otherwise. Whole point of this thread was to find out where I stand, but based on your reaction, maybe I really am that good.

You can't handle the fact that someone does it differently than the way you play. So you have to go in and bombard my thread with your bullshit. You've cluttered it up and ruined it so that I can't even see scores or results from people who might actually play similar style.

I can't say I didn't see this coming, but seriously, chill the fuck out.



You're an idiot if you think he's not double-stepping

No one plays your style, that's why you're the best at it. If all people need is to touch a metal pole while playing to beat you, you're not very good. Legitimately no one aside from you cares about players double-stepping to help their accuracy, and very few will insist the bar is cheating in 20fucking16. You're not a DDR god because you play like it's 1999. Get the fuck over it.

---

Yeah you gotta be delusional if you think all your'e doing is 'touching a metal pole'

You are using it to keep yourself from falling on your ass. Act like that's not a handicap.

Hey, not our fault you think you're just Too Good to use it.

I am not questioning the way you play, I'm just worried about the tone you are giving out. It seems like you think that doublestepping to a chart with nonsense patterns is a cardinal sin. Doublestepping to a well-structured chart (ignoring crossovers, for instance) is one thing, but trying not to doublestep a chart with patterns like...



Those spins aren't something anyone will like.
