Welll I put this here about footing techniques. I know there is thread out there ( Somewhere ) Asking how you play but still I digress.
Anyway the wa I play is the arrow I press afterwards I keep my feet in that place. In consecutives I try my hardest to keep myself timed and 1/8ths are are pretty much the same in terms of how you sum it up. I occasionally use my hand on really tough stuff in standard. Also there is a question my mind.
Does having a bar for your hands effect your footing.

If I don't have a bar I noticed I try to exert less energy in stepping.

No bar: I try not to pick my feet up off the pad more than an inch.
Bar: Still don't like to ick feet up too much, but maybe like two inches or less.

no bar: i can step anything i want... if i got the stamina to kick it to oblivion. even doubles.
i managed to clear La Senorita on heavy, double... do know how much a b***h that is..? running from one side to the other and back, with turns.
with bar: i fail really hard.
i never liked playing like that, i also read the manual that the bar shouldnt be used for that. next to that, i tried a few time, but it feels like im being cuffed by some policeguy. it really hinders my movement.
if i cant do something, then i try harder.

If anyone moves their feet back to the middle, thus not keeping it in place, they wont be getting very far up in the foodchain. It's safe to assume even most moderately skilled players will have learned to leave their foot where it is in the middle of most songs, until moving is needed again.
Anyway. Like most who aim for scoring, I play flat footed. My feet are fanned out at an angle from one another at starting position and the upper portions rest on the right and left arrows accordingly. I'd probably have them more paralell to one another, but standing on the screws on the flux is awkward. I touch the back panel only with the heel of either foot, bar or no bar, and the top panel with only the top of either foot.
I had previously refined my flat footing technique to the extent where with medium effort I could do upwards of ten songs that were all equivalent to or surpassed the level of difficulty found in ITG 12's, but after a few months of rusting I need to work on that again.
Back in the day I was pretty anti-bar, and stayed on my tip toes until I could A max 300, heavy of course. Then curiousity lead me to utilizing the dresser behind me as a bar, then I just got addicted. I can play any non jump heavy stuff no bar alight (By which I mean streams or frequent bursts of 8th note or higher jumps above 180 BPM) but for the most part my balance these days is shat. Turning with the bar I could stand to be better at, but I expect I'll improve gradually from raping bloodrush anyway.

I if you use the bar, its like a cheat code. No offense to those who use the bar, I just can't stand using it, or watching people think they are so bad a-- getting threw a tough song, but used the bar the whole time.

The amount of stupidity in your post is immense. It's nothing more than a playstyle. Some people are more comfortable with it, some are more comfortable without it. If the bar isn't meant to be used, it wouldn't be there.

It placed there so sort of protect people from falling. falling backwards is not fun. its even mentioned in the manual that you shouldnt barrape.

Yay. Bar arguments.
With the institution of ITG, the bar was certainly meant to or expected to be used by Roxar and the players. And once you use it there, there isn't a point in discriminating towards DDR because no one really cares. Except people who whine about other people using the bar.
Using the bar isn't hard anyway, and it's there for everyone. If you aren't going to take the obvious way to "even the odds" against smeone who's barring, don't complain.

I know that's not it's intended purpose, but seriously. Who the hell cares anymore? What set me off about the original post is the "cheat code" statement. I don't care whether you're pro or anti barrape, comparing the other style to a cheat code is uncalled for. The bar does not aid your timing, and it doesn't make your feet move any faster or more accurately. Therefore it doesn't make you a better player. It's like saying playing IIDX two-handed is cheating. You won't see a SINGLE person in the IIDX community say "Man I saw someone AA Mei at the arcade. He used two hands though, what a cheater!".
