I have a new path, but I'm still working on it; I don't think it will be all that great though. *shrug*

So I've been thinking about this song a lot lately. The solo, that is. If you tense up your forearm muscle really tightly, you can get your hand to vibrate quite nicely. I can make mine vibrate at 13 button presses per second. This is average for this method. The fastest button masher in the world can do 16.

So then I was like... could this be applied to the trogdor solo... The note chart says 130 BPM, or 2.167 BPS, the solo shows 8 notes per beat, which is just over 17 notes per second... So not even the world button mashing champ could do it on a dualshock.

The SG, however, gets you two notes per vibration because of the up and down strum. Which would put everyone going at 13 presses per second, at 26 notes per second, well above the required seventeen. So you see the dilemma I arrived at... If only someone out there could learn to oscillate at 8.5 presses per second...

I'm also fairly certain that a modified strumbar would produce better results with this method. Maybe one about the thickness of a driver's license that didn't jut out quite as far as the regular one. Maybe this summer with a lot of spare time...

Anyway, for those of you who read all of that without falling asleep, thank you. I'm not sure if using a modified guitar would even be "kosher" around here or anything, but if it is I can assure you I will be trying this method over the summer. And maybe if a couple people who are actually good at the game wanted to try that could be fun too.

Why hasn't anyone FCed this thing yet? Is the fast part really that hard?

I'm really surprised, that no one hasn't FC'ed this yet. My record in that fast part is -2 and as you can see from my scores, I still suck in GH.

I'm trying to figure out IF anyone can FC it, then if they would achieve more point by using their first SP activation in the whole solo... But then they'd be left with a useless half of a half of bar... Hmmm.

I've checked before, and 3-2 is in fact better than 4.

um, I dont believe that I can be right, because someone else would have seen this, but what about 2-3? activating the first one IMMEDIATELY, so it runs out before the 3rd phrase, and then activating right on the first chord after the solo (at x4, assuming FC), it'll end right when the notes end.

by my count, the current accept path has 232 notes under SP (counting chords as 2 ofcourse)
this one, also by my count (I say this because, again, I dont believe I can be right..), has 246.

here's it drawn out:
