For a change... I am going to request help. My FC is 6k short of the top score. b3nz0r or Echelar..care to share your strat? My current strat is pretty much the same as the one I see Ech posted for expert.

I'm pretty sure I based it off of something I saw in the Even Rats Expert thread, either way that's the exact one I used.

Feel free to tweak it, as this strategy still comes up about 1200 short of 1st place. I just haven't taken the time to look into it yet.

well...rats...that is almost exactly what I have. I use star #5 immediately following the red note..but I counted points and they are roughly the same. certainly not a 6k diff.

i must have screwed up executing it on my high score run....Now I gotta go back and try again...and this song was a pain to FC cause its so freaking long....

Used b3nz0r's chart with a slight tweak (held off on activating the first one for a couple measures to get more chords in) and got 308,354, good enough for 9th.

I went 2-3-3-2-1-2

I delayed activation 1 slightly so it ends at SP phrase 3.
I delayed activations 2 and 3 until right before the series of eight GY chords.
I delayed activation 4 for four measures until the series of of YRG without holds.
I used activation 5 immediately.
I used the last activation at the note/chord heavy sequence that starts with Y Y YB...

Some of those activations need to be tweaked slightly: Sully - Even Rats Hard SP
Ignore the grey box in measure 156- I was tinkering around with a possible 1-2 at the end to use the last (unused) phrase and I forgot to remove it.

Minor points:

-The 2nd activation could be moved up one chord to end on the chord with a hold. Same number of notes but the possibility of ticks from the hold, perhaps?

-I estimated the 4th activation's length as 4 measures + 1/2 beat (the SP phrase is exactly 8 beats of hold). This might be able to be modified to get an extra note or, at the very least, moved up 5 notes to end on the O hold.

Sully, some things:

The fifth activation: Aprox. 8,25 beats of whammy, and you marked 6 measures aprox. Whit early whammying, you can whammy 8,5 beats

7,5 beats = 2 measures
8,5 beats = 8,5*2/7,5 = 2,2666 measures

2,2666+2=4,2666 measures

This means: You can hit from the first yellow to the red note of 129.

The 4th activation:

4 beats each note + 0.25 each = 8,5 beats = 2,2666 measures from whammy

Total: 6,2666

This means that the blue note can be reached.

So, I make a path for EXTREME squeezers. I'm not sure if all are possible, if I've did a mistake in somewhere, tell me
