| I'd save that one activation for the "galloping" O-BO O-BO held chords towards the end. They are really easy and a treasure trove of points. |

Thanks! I just saw this path and decided to give it a try, and I 5-starred it on my first attempt, with almost 50,000 more than my last highest score. |

For the second activation, whammy all the phrases leading up to that and start it on the second orange note in measure 64. It should cut out before the green note in 72.

| Wait, how the hell are you getting 8 measures out of that SP? I get less than 5. |

Got me a five star, thanks!
Didn't do very well, but due to this clever usage combined with | catfish7 wrote: | | I'd save that one activation for the "galloping" O-BO O-BO held chords towards the end. They are really easy and a treasure trove of points." |
I still just made the cut-off (providing cut-off proof in the process  ) |

Get the first 2, use immediately. You should get 3 more SP's with holds to easily make a Full Bar, activate on the second orange note of measure 64.

A few of your activations were wrong (overlapped SP phrases) so I made a new path based on yours. It's my first attempt at a star power chart, don't laugh.
If you activate SP a second time on Solo I it will overlap all the over phrases and you won't be able to activate on the BO O BO O section.
You can move the one activation forward to Solo C if you can nail that part or need to use SP there so you don't fail. I don't think there are any mistakes. Whammy everything.

| so the Sp path is 2-3-3-3-2-3-2-1-1 right? |

| Barbaloot wrote: | 2-3-2-2-2-3-5-3 is the most commonly used one, I believe, and the first six activations (2-3-2-2-2-3) are definitely right (with some room to shift them around; for instance, people who can nail solo C would want to delay the 3rd activation a few measures). However, as nice as those BO-gallopy chords look in shining blue as you nail one after another with a x8, the last 8 SP phrases actually yield more points if you use them as a 4-2-2 rather than a 5-3, using them at measures 173, 209, and 238, respectively. This, of course, assumes you can nail the short OBYR section. If you can't, you can put off using the second to last activation until measure 219 and it should still be slightly better than waiting until the BO chord-gallops.
[edit]
Here is what should be the optimal SP path, for a full combo. The path is 2-3-2-2-2-3-4-2-2, and I've numbered the activations from 1 to 9. Obviously, most of us will want to move some of the activations around a bit to line up with what we can hit (e.g. activate #3 immediately if you can't hit solo C). Also, if you have a hard time keeping a multiplier in most of the solo, are simply trying for a five-star, or missed some of the SP in solos I and J, you should probably wait until the BO-gallop chords to activate SP, and perhaps activate the last SP during the chords near the end, wasting the last one if you can't hit the end wankery.
This path, if executed flawlessly (including the squeezes), should net an 8-star with about 2400 points to spare.

I definitely don't agree with this path. I'm almost positive you wouldn't want to whammy any of the three phrases before I & J and go up right away so you can get an extra activation in the two solos. After, you would go up on the 2nd YRGBY after I & J, the four note runs, and the end wankery. I think that would be optimal |

Correct, I hadn't thought of that. Assuming you get all the squeezes possible and you whammy for about half a beat before I and J to get every note possible, your path beats mine by 700 points, pre-multiplier.
[edit] Not sure now where that 700 came from. I now get that your path is better by only one note, and that is only if you count the orange note before solo I. Still, yours is technically better.
So on my path above, activations 6 and 7 should be split into three activations, one at measure 140 (after getting the SP and whammying for 1/2 to 1 beat), one after getting 2 SP's in solo I (measure 149 or 150), and one in measure 162 when the notes come. The optimal path is then 2-3-2-2-2-3-2-2-2-2.

Actually, 3-2>2-3 at the beginning.
From the middle of the red sustain in 39 to the yellow sustain in 47= ~3978 (base). From the start of measure 65 to a 1/4 beat into the green sustain in 70= ~4805.
3978+4805=8783 for 3-2.
Right away on the B in 10 to the 3rd O in 16= ~2703. Measure 64 until yellow sustain at start of 72= ~5938.
2703+5938=8641 for 2-3. |

I never would have guessed that...
[edited] Ok, so here's the updated SP. The path is 3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2, and you should whammy fully everywhere. Be sure to use the activation before solo I just before hitting the last orange note of the SP phrase (and mistakenly getting the SP phrase). Again, feel free to give any suggestions, but I would be surprised if this weren't optimal. A FC with this path should be an 8-star with about 3000 points to spare. (However, if you aren't good at keeping a multiplier during solos I-J, the older path above is probably better.)
