someone told me there are some songs that you NEED the bar in order to full combo/pass. is this true? if so, which songs? can someone send me a list. if someone wants to argue with this, show me a video. i would love to see someone AA/AAA pandemoniam without the bar

lol.. right... AA/AAA pandemonium....

lol......................................

and no, you dont NEED the bar to pass any of the songs. in fact, pandemonium is probably the easiest 13 without the bar....

at least for me..

i mean, i cant handle the voltage of summer at all without the bar. and i cant pass vertex at all wihtout C450 ... so pandy is probably the easist for me without bar.

Perhaps you should clarify if you can actually pass Pandy Expert, and if you can, with what %.

Yeah, I need the bar for anything and everything. That pretty much goes without saying. I know a lot of other people that are the same way, although not extreme as I am. (ie. I'll even bar novice, easy, medium songs. I bar anything and everything and I mean it.)

The only time I don't use the bar, I am usually bracket raping which is also known as the toe-heel method. That is when I have already fucked up and I cannot get a good score anymore, or it is because I have begun to become inconsistent with my scoring.

I NEED the bar for 12s and up except for Vertex and probably delirium, although I haven't tried to no bar delirium yet. But when I'm tired, I use it a bit more

I use the bar for some 10s, most 11s, and all 12+s. The only 11s I've done no bar are Charlene and Xuxa, though I could probably do more than that. I've done the first run of Destiny with no bar, and I passed VerTex once with no bar. I've decided to use the bar more often on all 9+s, though. Being 6'5", it's harder for me to keep my balance and do a consistent FA, so I'll see if using the bar on easier songs helps my scores.

i cant actaully pass pandy without bar... but i can do it more consistently than a song like summer... i just cant do the stream at all....

i can do almost all ITG1 12s without bar, though. except euphoria... havent played many ITG2 12s, though.

Passing wise, just Pandemonium and Bloodrush. Not sure about Determinator, haven't tried that one yet. Probably.

I have never used the bar because I suck at it. However I plan on using it somtime to start passing some hard 10's and 11's. I heard it dose alot less damage to your knees using the bar

I personally use the bar for most 11's and definitely 12's and up (if I could muster the skill to do a 13...ever)

The only songs I need the bar for are the 13s.

I could probably do Summer and Vertex^2 no bar though, I just hadn't had the motivation to try really.

I don't need to bar-rape. I can quit anytime I want.

OH, MY GOD! IS THIS AN INTERVENTION!?

I use the bar for everything because I have horrible balance. If I didn't have bad balance, I would probably only need it for 11's and up.
