Hahaha I've seens some guys that do that at a place before. A group of about fifty people were around this one guy and everyone cheered when he got another 100 farther in his combo. His name was Dave and he was AWESOME!!!
Must be this video. He is a very good player and was the first person to ever tri-star determinator (crazy ass song) on ITG 2. This is a pretty bad score for him on infernoplex, probably due to warmup or something and distractions.
He is still very, very good and could be considered a professional. He is well known for 100%ing a song in the last round of a tournament, cheering, and not stepping off the pad causing 2 mines to register resulting in him losing the tournament .
Heres the determinator vid. Hard to see the screen, but this was the first tri-star video.
I can pass determinator, but not with a great score (85ish percent?). I would have a good score on it if there was an ITG 2 machine around here.
I may actually be getting a cabinet soon so we shall see =]/
OMG stalker! But ya. I'm pretty good friends with the guy right next to dave's head in the gray sweat shirt. Hahaha I'm just out of view in the video. Oh! If you wanna find me, I'm right next to the red head guy
I play StepMania with a RedOctane metal pad. I was really into the arcade scene for a while, but there aren't any DDR machines in decent condition where I live anymore.
You're very good, but it would be more impressive if you weren't bar-hugging.

That is one of the most annoying things you could ever say.
I can probably AA this song without the bar. I AAd Max 300 centuries ago without the bar on a really bad run, I just don't make it a point to play 10s no bar very often. I almost always no bar 9s and under, but the Bar makes for much better PA/FA so might as well use it for AAA runs. Also if you plan to play for hours straight, playing no-bar on stamina draining songs is just a waste.
There are no top tier players that play exclusively without the bar, and right now, there are only a few that are actually really damn good without it.

I didn't mean any offense by my statement. I recognize that using the bar makes for more accurate runs. It was just always frowned upon by the local scene here (Wichita, KS, USA) circa 2003-2006 when I was really into the game. Like I said, it's evident from the video that you're very good.
Props to you on the PSMO run. Bar or not, that's impressive.
I didn't really take offense, but I am going to defend something that I find to be irrational.
Most of the time the people who frown against using the bar, are terrible at the game. Every person I have ever seen complain about using the bar has supposedly been playing much longer than I, and is pretty bad at the game. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I was better than them the first day I got a good softpad. I've played against several no bar after they ran past the machine while I was playing a 10 and using the bar that whined about me using it and wrecked them in the process ( I'm a bit competitive so this is always going to sound cocky online, sorry for that). There are some no bar vids on my profile as well and all of them are pretty good.
It is also really irritating when people say "but you used the bar" for mind-bendingly difficult songs on ITG since most of them can't even pass ITG 10s which are much easier than DDR 10s. Even the officials can get extremely hard (almost any itg 11 is much, much harder than a DDR 10 and ITG goes up to 13 for its official charts). Custom charts go up to 17 or so and 17s are in a completely different league than 13s.
Example of maybe a 15/16 custom song on itg
Don't use the bar. . .right?
As for the PSMO, I thought it was a crappy score . I've beaten it a long time ago and fced it before. I just only have time to play once every month or so now =/.
