On Mississipi Queen, you could probably do 13337 if you let go of holds early enough and plan what you hit like you did with BiM on easy.

I don't suppose you still have any of your paths for GH2X's cutoffs lying around do you, Barfo? I don't have the brains to path these things out, but I do have the time to play through the paths and get those remaining Xbox 360 figures.

Not trying to sound lazy either, I'd rather not get the contribution points seeing as I wouldn't be pathing- I just really want to see the six/seven star ratings I've got for some songs, rather than

Unless you are a volcanic robot from space or a chicken with robotic giblets, don't compare yourself to those folk. Each accomplishment is an accomplishment, no matter what people before you did.

yeah i was pretty disorganized when i did GH2, and i just wrote down my paths on whatever pad of paper was handy at the time, or i just opened the charts up and pathed it in my head without writing anythign down. But really pathing a song before you play it is a quick affair - it should take maybe 3-4 minutes max for an experienced person, if you are spending any more time than that you are spending too much as whatever path you think you have might need to change a lot when you go to acutally play the song. More important is to then write down notes on your first run or two with the modifications to your path adn the in-game values that you find. Honestly, it would be faster for me to re-do the paths than to searcht hrough my disorganized pile of past pads (i actually have this - its about 30-40 pads right now counting the blank ones - i use jr. legal pads like you see in my RL exact score vid). If i find myself with some sort of unexpected free time i might jsut do this.

EDIT: (April 11th 08) I was looking through my pads for a personal project (i could not remember the precise format i used for my paths and wanted to look them over), and i cant find ANY of my 80s paths, so too bad. Ill try and keep track of my GH3 ones as i generate them.

Barfo, what's 1337 proof master mean?

FINALLY!
I got my first 1 point cutoff proof completed (2 pics total) last night, circa 2:30am

I just have to say, that doing this gives out a WHOLE NEW level of respect for Barfo, and the other "proof gods".

To top it off, mine was a GH2 cut-off proof, so use of the "no fail" cheat was not available (otherwise it would been a bit easier).

I didn't really follow the guide exactly as written here, but I probably should have.
About the only thing I did follow was getting the "mod50" (which is pretty much required) with only a short distance left in the song, and some more points left to pick up.

Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for writing this guide Barfo!
It is definitely a great guide, and after reading it (again), I am kicking myself for not following it a bit more closely.

Also, We can't put in requests for proofs here can we?
GH2:H(360) is in need of quite a few proofs for more accurate * rankings

I'm not really good enough for this, otherwise I would already be working at it.

WOW. I think my brain just melted. I would love to help out with this... but I don't know if I have the patience for it... I am submitting BPP's for GH:Aerosmith though (28/41 so far for Easy).

hmm, that's very interesting and helpful indeed. But I'd like to ask something. What's up with co-op? I mean in co-op you just cant use this mod50 and everything because the score you get for hitting a note is not a constant. does anybody know something about how does the co-op scoring work? or may I just use the "search" function?

This is quite possibly the longest wall of text I've ever seen on any forum, website, or other electronic page-writing thing-a-ma-bob. It also wins the prestigious award of most informative, interesting, and easily appliable wall of text I've ever read.
