Song Scores, Extended Star Ratings and Cut-Offs FAQ 20080108

just something ive noticed that might be worth mentioning: the GH3 5 star cutoff is slightly more than 2.800x, as i have gotten exactly on that and it is a 4 star. I think (not sure) that it is about 2.810 for the 5*, and this could have something to do with the fact that in GH3, held chord notes do not give you points faster than held single notes of same length and same beat.

Oh, You're right... haha, i just got 2.801x and that was 5*, maybe i should submit those pics as proof since they must have been close to the cutoff

I have a quick question. I put in one of my scores for TTFAF, but I accidently put in 584*** (I don't remember the last three numbers) but I meant 384*** So I have a top 100 score on expert for that song, but it shouldn't be there. How do I change that score??

Good evening.

I have been doing quite some reading on the website about cut-offs and star rating, and I have to say I am amazed by the amount of work that has been done by the community. I love Guitar Hero even though I am new to it, and I love figures, so I couldn't find a better website really :-)

I know most of the members are more interested by the hard and expert modes than easy and medium, but I still have a question concerning those first two difficulties. I have searched around and did not find any answer, hopefully I won't get flamed...

I like the extended star rating system, which allows me to aim for 6 or 7 stars for example, instead of the very limited 5 star from the game. Unfortunately, this extended rating is missing for many songs in the medium difficulty, and most of the song for the easy difficulty for the Xbox 360, which I find very frustrating.

From what I understand, submitting an actual proof is time-consuming and quite tricky, but I see that the Wii version for example, has a lot of cut-offs "derived from proof" (orange scores). Considering that all proven cut-offs for both the Xbox 360 and the Wii are exactly the same, would it be too risky to assume that the cut-offs "derived from proof" for the Wii are the same for the Xbox 360? If so, would it be possible to use those scores for the Xbox 360 and thus allowing the extended star rating system to be available on all songs in the easy and medium difficulties?

I hope I am making sense. If not, please just forget about what I said, I'm just a newbie... :-)

Rergards,
Dharma.

Is there a way ScoreHero can take the extended ratings systems for consoles and merge them? What I mean is the I play one the Wii, so therefore some of the scores have not yet been proven on it. Then I look at the PS2's score cutoffs and they have all of them (mostly).

There is one thing I just dont understand...

I bought myself a PS3 after having played GH on PS2. On the PS2 there are ALOT more people playing then there are on PS3. The PS2 and the 360 have all cut-offs proven and have the extended 6-star rating system. This system was something I enjoyed alot and I was every sorry to learn that it not yet proven for PS3. "Fine", I thought, "I´ll just get the prove them for the PS3". Allthough it will take an INSANE amount of time.

But then I did some research...

If you compare the proven cut-offs for GHIII from the PS3 and the 360, you will note that they are the exact same! There is a difference between the 360 and the PS2 (with about 20 points every time), but they are EXACTLY identical for the 360 and the PS3.

Why dont we just confirm the cut-offs for the PS3 with the perfectly usable proof from the 360? That would be SOO much easier!

Just my thoughts.

EDIT: Gaah.. Maybe I should read before I post... :P Sry, for that... I´ll get to proving... ;) Just a quick tip: Aim for the cut-off scores from the 360.. ;)

Why is it still possible to get lower than base score? If its based on calculations, than how is it possible? I've been able to get under 80,000 points on Mauvais Garcon and the base score is ~88,000.
