going for everlong and re-education through labour, mainly because of the leagues, but they're good songs as well.

 

Got -1 on both, but the re-education path is bloody impossible.

 

 

 

I completely made up my path on Re-Education, screwed it up twice, and ended up in 17th overall for the Wii (if I had a SH that is) and a lot further down but still up there on all systems. I know a better one if I can be bothered reduxing, it would probably get me 15k+ more points. Never looked up a SP path in my life :P

 

 

 

the RETL path is crazy. Requires three 1 sp phrase activations and one 0 phrase activation. I cannot even come close to doing it.

 

 

 

edit: WOO! RETL FC. 377k, not bad with the path I was using.

 

 

 

just everlong left. (and HFT, but thats a 5* struggle let alone FC)

 

 

 

edit 2: and everlong falls as well! 470k, he's on fire tonight. top 50 on wii top 200 on all.

Is there a way to remap the buttons on the regular controller? I can't do KoC with those damn triggers.

From a video on a KoC Expert 5* with 360 controller

 

you have to tense up your wrist until it shakes, then channel that motion into hitting the green button.

 

 

 

what you were seeing: on the controller, as on the guitar, only the "highest" color being held down on a single note is counted, so you can alternatly tap green and red, while holding blue, to hit a fast string of blue notes.

I fail at GH3 now. Why can't they keep a consistent formula throughout all the games? I get used to the nuances of one and it screws me over when I try to play the other. Failed TTFAF halfway through the solos . . .

Wow, I'm so good at Slash Guitar Battle. I could FC it easily if I learn how to do the fast RYB zig zags and learn the final section. I beat my friend who got 750k TTFAF on it on my 5th run of it ever :)

 

 

 

Those are coincidentally the two parts that stop most people from FCing the song... it's really not a difficult song except for the ending. I've only fully comboed Blues Buster once (:() but I can usually get about halfway into it, and that's without ever practicing it. The ending, however, is insane.

I honestly don't think the ending is that hard except for the fast BYG's, and those are tappable.

You're talking to the person who can barely tap <3: But after looking at the chart, they're only 16.2 NPS, which means that since you're holding the G, you only have to move your fingers at 10.8 NPS (technically you actually have to do small sections at 16.2 NPS followed by small breaks, but thanks to the timing window, you can take more time on the non-break part)... I can do faster parts with relative ease, yet I can't hold combo into that measure at all :|

 

 

 

For the rest of the ending, I consider everything that is a long stretch of HOPOs to be dead simple... it's knowing exactly when to press buttons in the fast strumming that gets me.

Yup, there is only one small section in the fast strumming that I can't hit.

Frankenstein was also downloadable on GH2 on the 360 :-s

 

 

 

Got a few top 10s lately:

 

[hide=Metal Heavy Lady]MetalHeavyLady-1.png

 

I actually dropped a tick in this run, so... >_> This is 4th/8th. I am entirely capable of tying for 2nd or displacing everyone that's tied for 2nd if I can just hit the darn 1st squeeze again.[/hide]

 

[hide=Ruby]Ruby-2.png

 

Missed a tick in this, would've been tied for first. This is 2nd/3rd.[/hide]

 

[hide=]MinusCelsius-1.png

 

Horrible ticking, wrong place for the first activation, but I proved I could hit the upperbound first squeeze given enough patience. This is 4th/5th, but I'm sure it will drop as it is one of this week's league songs.[/hide]

 

 

 

I'm currently going for a My Curse re-FC because I know I can improve my score (and it's a league song), as well as either upperbound or optimal on Impulse. I've hit all squeezes for optimal on Impulse, but one of them I've only managed once, so I may have to settle for upperbound (which is 200 points lower).

Are the GH instruments compatible with Rock Band 2 for Wii? Logic says they aren't, as they weren't for RB1, but NP's RB2 review says yes. If they are I may get the RB game only for Christmas.

Played some GH3 this morning - it hates me.

 

 

 

Cities on flames is annoying, I should have FCed it months ago but for some reason I can't do the solo, well occasionally I can but I always choke.

 

 

 

Got two -1 runs of The Metal, both in different places, gah.

 

 

 

-1 run in Cherub rock too, missed a note in the outro and overstrummed too, still managed to get 500k+ though so not too bad.

Some more high ranking stuff:

 

[hide=Avalancha (5th/6th)]Avalancha-1.png

 

Can get 431.6k... 432k is probably out of reach[/hide]

 

[hide=In Love (2nd/5th)]InLove.png

 

Easy enough, just need to get the 2nd activation squeeze (came close), and I'll pass Lo7 pretty easily... but that 2nd activation squeeze really is freaking difficult >_>[/hide]

 

[hide=She Bangs The Drums (2nd/2nd)]SheBangsTheDrums-1.png

 

1 tick behind Lo7, and Live dropped during the run, so the leaderboards don't register it :( I've had 12 more points after the first squeeze, and I'm sure more is possible on two of the other squeezes, so I could take Lo7 down with a LOT of work... really not worth it.[/hide]

 

 

 

Also choked on an optimal Impulse run tonight... I had hit the 'difficult' squeezes and managed to miss a blue hammer-on because I pressed yellow instead... yay stupid stuff.

I went crazy today and beat career vocals on expert. It was actually pretty fun to sing.

 

 

 

The hardest song to beat was Shiver because he is always altering pitch. Almost failed in the beginning before I caught on. After that it was pretty easy.

My friend bought GH:WT for PS3 today with the guitar.

 

 

 

The frets feel good but the strum bar, ugh, too loose. So much for getting that guitar then to replace my Les Paul :(

 

 

 

Whammy bar also seemed to not respond straight away.
