What’s my favorite DDR machine? Der Trabi.
jaybone@lemmy.world 9 months ago
If you lean on the bar in Trabi, the engine falls out.

What’s wrong with his technique? Many people use the bar for balance while playing.

90% of the time when I’ve seen someone going ape shit in DDR they’re standing exactly like this

It says on the arcade machine not to hold onto that rail. Page 9, sticker 7. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1756526/Konami-Dance-Dance-Revolution.html?page=9#manual. Most people who did this received injuries, not high scores.

Boy you couldn’t be wronger here, pretty much every perfect attack champion plays like this because it’s an unfair advantage. We shamed these people at our arcade but it doesn’t stop them from setting the highest scores no matter how stupid it looks. Dancing stage fixes this problem well enough.

You can say that but I grew up in Gameworks. The people who grabbed the bar were inexperienced. If you played at home with the matt in between sessions you didn’t need the bar. We used to run town on the fools tied to the machine and not free to move their feet. But all the more to ya I guess.

It literally says verbatim: “please do not lean or hang on the handrail”
LEAN or HANG. Not saying the guy isn’t doing that, but it says nothing about just grabbing it? You can grab it just fine.

Dude, what do you do when you grab it? You usually follow the grab with your weight. Nobody is just holding it shyly like their first date at the movies. They’re putting their weight on it so they don’t slide off-axis to the dance pad arrows. The intended use doesn’t matter anyway, because this was a sign of a disrespectful player. If you did this while up against someone else you were a dirty player. Thats the truth. Thats why this comment on the chastity belt is funny.

Yeah, well, there’s also a warning label on Q-tips to not stick em in your ear canal.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You also shouldn’t do that. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/why-you-really-truly-should-not-put-q-tips-your-ears. Thats just proven bad. Unlike my losing battle elsewhere. Which, trust me, it was a big deal if you held on. Everyone can argue it. But all I’m seein’ is a bunch of bar grabbers.

Uh, then wtf is it’s intended purpose?
ysjet@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It’s for holding onto while playing, there’s literally stickers on the machine saying to do it. The old machines even advised it during the health/safety prompts. This guy has absolutely zero fuckin idea what he’s talking about.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I have no idea, but its not for holding onto while playing. You’re more likely to twist your joints that way. Maybe it stops you from backing off the machine on accident?

Found the 2018 East Regional DDR runner up.

Yep

It says “not to hang or lean on during play,” not hold on to. You can hold onto it. Just don’t lean or apply significant pressure onto it.
