here is wut works for me play the first 2 sp Phrases and then hit it right after the last not of the second sp phrase then hit the next 3 sp phrases and after the long notes and the song starts up again (Right after solo ending) hit the star power wich should be about 3/4 of the way full and it will last the rest of the song if you hit it when the first notes start again

I don't know what the other guy was saying but I did 3-2 to get my 2nd place score (was 1st) First activation goes at the end of the G-R-RY part and second goes when you build up at 2x multiplier at the ending (should be soon after the long hold). Its a tricky song though so I don't know if thats optimal or not :P

Damn i played this song like 25 times for League B this week. The G-R-RY part BURNiNATES my hands, even on hard. And dogmad thats pretty much the optimum path. Theres a bit of math to crunch to figure out the exact best spot to activate the last SP, but its roughly 2x plus a bit or so - you want it to last nearly to the end of the song but not exactly since the 9/4 time parts are more dense with points per measure than the 4/4 (even tho it doesnt look like it as they go by) . All the spread of the top 20 or so people on this song (on hard) is likely due to how many notes of the solo they can get at 4x to start it off, and whether they come out of it with more than a streak of 2 (both holds) which would mean more notes at higher multi during the last SP.

Yeah :P I got I think 4-5 streak at the end of the two holds and I think i hit 5-6 at the start? I dunno...

Can anyone one else not judge if they are playing too fast, or not fast enough?? I am guessing not fast enough, but I am not really sure. I tried playing the solo in practice mode, I couldn't even hit all the notes on the slowest speed

Oh well, I still did descent I guess, broke into the 130k+ club

i think half the problem with most people is, they tense up when the streaks come.... and they actually start strumming slightly early, and most probably strum too fast.. That was my problem i found... so i made a note of trying to start strumming *right* on the first yellow and trying to keep a steady "losely" gripped strumming action... and ive gotten numerous -1's and an overstrummed 100% in practice mode (just the solo). Its just irritating me at the moment.. my new problem now is switching from the yellow to blue streaks - that note change there is where i seem to always miss my -1. This Fc is like a tingle at the back of my throat.

3-2 is definately optimal, I just got 127k (screwed up on the first activation a little) got -9. Congrats PhD on the FC!

i would have to say that 3-2 is optimal as well. i've just been trying to 5* this song and in my first attempt at 3-2, blew away my old score by over 35K. Granted it helped i also went from 90% notes to 95% notes, but still...

Good to know you do things that you have no idea what they do. I hope for humanity's sake, you never work in a nuclear testing facility.

Isn't that fast section on Hard the same speed as on Expert...? Because if so, PhD needs to FC that...
