EWB Inaugural Be A Guitar Hero Contest

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

I think I did something wrong because I had star power left at the end.

[Cadet Ember McLain]

Fanku, I did as well...

Well this isn't going well

[zero]

God I hope some of you guys can only play on Medium. How the fuck are you pulling out 170+ on Bulls on Parade?

[Sacrafice540]

I don't have the greatest digital camera and I don't think my camera phone will do any better. I can't get it to not be so grainy. So... hopefully they will be good enough for you to decipher what the numbers are.

Bulls on Parade

Medium

Score: 171,751

Notes Hit: 100%

Note Streak: 529

SP Phrases: 9/9

[NobBe Nobbs]

The top score (going by Score Hero) is about 173,000. It's definitely possible, it just requires near-perfect Star Power usage.

Irksome. I'm safe with 159,829, but I dropped a note 357 in (thank you note streak) which pissed me off.

Supercunt. I was doing brilliantly right up until the last Y-G Y Y-G section when I dropped three green notes. How, I don't know, I had the green button held down the whole time.

Oh, double triple supercunt. This time, I lost the streak at just over 500 with another shitty green HOPO.

I don't know how the hell to get 3k more than that. The only thing i didn't do in that run is whammy all the held notes in the star power phrase in the solo, but they're short as fuck so i didn't want to risk missing a note.

[Cactus Drags]

My best so far is like 168k having missed 5 notes. I don't know how I'm missing because it's a relatively simple song, but I am :/

[Cadet Ember McLain]

As far as I can tell, whammying makes no difference. If it did, I'd get a fair bit more, as controllers can whammy faster than guitars (generally speaking)...

[Cactus Drags]

Whammying doesn't make a difference points-wise, but it affects how much star power you earn. Or at least, that's what I'd been lead to believe.

[AnnIQ Edison]

What is the perfect usage of star power exactly. I hadn't heard of it before now. Maybe a link if you dont want to ruin it for everyone

[Kaney]

I 100%'d it and only got around 156k. First time, but I'll give it another go later.

[joker]

I just saw this thread, can I still get involved or since I didn't do the first round no?

[NobBe Nobbs]

Yeah, it is too late.

[Cactus Drags]

Facking hell. I couldn't for the life of me get all 9 star power phrases, just 8, hence I couldn't break 170k. Gay.

[Sacrafice540]

Regarding eliminating the lowest score even if people don't post a score.

I see a potential problem there. Now I don't know anyone personally, but I would gather through online trial and error that there might be some that see the scores posted and can't beat the lowest one posted. Therefor give up not posting his score thinking that he will just be eliminated anyway.

I hope this isn't the case as it's just for fun and a little bit of bragging rights. On your part I'd hate to have them all PM'ed to maybe solve some of this, but really I hope it don't happen and don't want to see people get eliminated because someone else don't wanna post a low score.

For those that can't fathom getting some of the scores like in round 2's case If I am able to find ways of getting through the songs with higher scores I will be more than happy to fill you in on how I got my score. In this case the ability to hit all 9 SP Phrases. It's simple really once you know how it's done, but I will have to wait until that round is over. After all I would like to be on top every round Besides once we get to the end of hard and midway through expert 100% scores won't happen really.

I'm really looking forward to Cult of Personality on hard. Thats my favorite song and the perfect difficulty on GHIII. I can hit the solo, but I can't seem to do the whole song all the way through without missing one part or another. I can't finish any song on the last set of expert. If I tried really hard I could probably do 3 of them, but will never do Slayer. BS note chart right there, but yet I love the song! Just little into what my skills are on GHIII. The only GH I finished on expert was GHI.

I suppose I could spend an hour trying to figure out how to properly use Star Power, but what the hell, I'm safe for the next round.
