SaidinWoT Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 So I bought a new guitar at Circuit City ($28, pretty good deal) and it's absolutely perfect... except that it activates if I even nudge it upwards. Earlier I merely sat up a bit straighter and SP activated. Even with this challenge, I got 6 more GH3H DLC 1sts: [hide=Pretty Handsome Awkward] The guitar activated immediately on the last activation on a run that had 5 more ticks >_> Proof that there's a crapload left in this song.[/hide][hide=No More Sorrow] I think another 400 might be possible, but this is pretty nice[/hide][hide=Sleeping Giant] Actually the first 1st I got today... only after getting this did I realize I could've used the 80% path and gotten around 100 more points... I may redux for them.[/hide][hide=Peace of Mind] BA's comment on his (now 2nd) 1st asked if anyone had actually tried to squeeze the song. How could I pass that up?[/hide][hide=I Predict A Riot] There's still plenty left in this song. Plenty.[/hide][hide=Exo-Politics] Possibly the easiest optimal in all of the Hard Difficulty...[/hide] So yeah. Also, Lemon and I have been looking over a number of tma's paths and found some points that are technically possible in some random songs. In most cases they would be truly epic squeezes, but we'll see what comes of them.

SaidinWoT Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 And more 1sts! Entire Coldplay Pack (I won't be uploading Violet Hill to SH because of a long-term goal that involves not uploading songs that have low maximum scores...) [hide=Yellow] Easy as anything... I tried for upperbound my first FC, failed to get it, then won the 1st by plenty of ticks[/hide][hide=Violet Hill] This is a tie. :([/hide][hide=God Put A Smile Upon Your Face] Ticks again, pretty easy...[/hide] [hide=Jukebox Hero] Another score I won't be uploading... this is a tie with chemmajr, who is best known for being excellent at squeezing the Medium difficulty. There are probably a few more ticks in the song...[/hide] [hide=Problems (Live at Brixton)] I HATE this song. So glad to have it out of the way. I choked 3 times on excellent runs (one better than my FC)[/hide] Best of all! [hide=Ernten Was Wir Saen] Yes, I did get 1st with a -1! I forgot that there was a note after the yellow hold, so I wasn't too concerned with paying attention to the screen. I noticed the green just barely too late to hit it. :D[/hide] Add your blog to the BlogScape Index!SaidinWoT can now be tracked easily on weekends - Erm, maybe when I start playing again.Levels do not measure intelligence OR maturity.

Diesel Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Great scores Saidin! :thumbup: Just read up a bit on the upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica. They're coming out with an expert+ mode. :shock: I can't wait to try this out. =P~ =P~ Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Expert+ is only for drums and utilizes double bass pedal somehow, at least that's what I've heard about the subject.

Considering I can only do hard on drums it doesn't faze me a whole lot. Do they expect you to buy a double bass or just be prepared to use single pedal a lot more? It sounds nice for drums, the Expert drum tour on WT was soooo easy to beat, the only challenging part was the intro for Hot for Teacher, which wasn't THAT bad.

Mr_Adam Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 My guitar is breaking - the downstrum sometimes fails to register, sometimes it double-strums, and sometimes it's perfect. Also, since I opened the box, the whammy bar has been squeaking and doesn't stay in place. The downstrum also makes a creaking sound that it's pulling something when I strum. Any chance I can send it in and get a new one? How would I do so? I've had the game since Christmas, so I don't think my 90 days is up (if I get 90 days). EDIT: I think the downstrum problem may be related to the Reggae download tracks (Jimi, Sacrifice, and Your Face). Also, This is Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaidinWoT Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 So, after doing this: Which is in 6th/7th and included stupid mistakes (and absolute failure in VSR), I went back to Expert. My new guitar is definitely better for whammy... 10th/10th - Could get more, barely squeezed the last activation I had 2nd in this to Lo7, then APE went and got 1st on Wii, then glitched ticks were discovered. I dropped to 5th (though still 2nd on 360). Got back 2nd and could presumably get 1st, as I failed to tick squeeze the 4th activation and didn't get all of the available glitched ticks. About DWDTG: I haven't been working on it all that much, but the 868 notestreak was in Victory Solo - from the section before it starts into VSP. I have entirely lost consistency at the trill that separates the Devil Solos and Victory Solos, but my VSE consistency has gone up and VSR is randomly good or bad. I still can and plan to FC this at some point, but it will definitely take some work. A lot of work.

Nom Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ^Lol why? So today . . . I FC'ed the Cliffs of Dover intro!! But the first note of the verse intro is part of Intro Solo B, and I paused the game in excitement causing me to miss a bunch of crap when I resumed. Hence the 98%. So that pissed me off, and I went and did this: Epic failure at Intro Solo A, but at least I did B properly that time. Pretty sure I have a "technical FC" of the song now.

bongo_man Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I've been pretty bored with WT lately, so I think I might go back to GH3 and work on my Expert career seeing as all my scores need major reduxing :| And damn that sucks Jaziek :( got caught in a flame war?

On gh3 I can play every song on expert other then ttfatf, and on wt I just need to do Byob and satch boogie...Any tips to improve my playing? I can only help you on the world tour songs since I haven't beaten TTFAF. Since I'm not sure exactly what your problems are for these songs, I'll just explain a few tips that helped me. For BYOB, my problem for the longest time was overstrumming. I was strumming way to fast. Try slowing down your strumming so you don't get penalized for all the overstrums. For Satch Boogie, I'm assuming that your problems are with the solo. Since these are slider notes, when I first tried playing it, I tried to slide every note. I soon came to realize, however, that pressing the regular keys made it much much easier. Also, hold on to your star power as long as possible, and try hard to get the star power notes during the solo. This helps very much in making it through the whole thing. Hope this helps some.

DarkDude Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I assume you're stuck on the TTFAF intro? Play it in practice at a slower speed, when you can constantly get 90%+ then move up the speeds until you reach full speed. Anyway, I can't wait for Guitar Hero: Metallica now, saw them live tonight and it was fantastic, makes the wait even more painful now lol. Hopefully by the time it comes out I'll have regained the ability to hear things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Now that I can FC the intro I'm seriously working on an FC of CoD. I can hit every section semi-consistently except the outro solo, which I just suck unbelievably at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 On guitar what is a "squeeze"? Hitting the first note in a star power activation and activating the star power slightly late, and then "squeezing" in one more note before the SP runs out by hitting it early.

Alg Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 ^ You can do that kind of thing on most held notes, probably something to watch for if you want some kind of top score. 262,456 on When You Were Young, for a first main setlist fc \ Plus 81% on TtFaF in practice.
