I've gotten really close to a five star for this, i keep blowing it on the chorus though.

Barbaloot's path seems most optimal.

I should point out that in terms of number of points, my path corresponds with debr's 20%-squeeze and 40%-squeeze paths (323.5 K). The rest of the points (in debr's higher squeeze charts) will come from double squeezes, which I did not and do not typically include on charts. For example, my fourth activation could be moved a beat earlier (to the R), and if you could then squeeze to the B note in m124 (which would be a 4 measure + .333-beat squeeze with exactly 4 measures of SP) you would get an extra note. Furthermore, if you are going for super-double-squeeze-optimal, splitting my 4 activation into 2-2 would allow more opportunities for double squeezes (remember, 2-2 gets exactly as many notes as 4 with regular, exact-measure squeezing).

Thanks for your path, Barbaloot. I just re-FC'd with 322.5K. Just so you know, if you whammy enough SP out, it's pretty easy to activate one note earlier in the first activation, and still get everything until the break at the end of intro solo B. And I should have moved the fourth activation back to the Y or B because I always had a teeny bit of SP left over at the end of the activation. Anyway, I hope the 1st doesn't get taken too quickly. It wouldn't be too hard to re-FC it again. Also, one more note that I forgot; For some reason, in the 5th activation, my SP always ended at about the first red of the two, so I missed 2 notes (I think). I don't know if that's just not enough whammying on my part.

Well, im quite the idiot. I was using 2-2-2-2-3-3 trying to FC it since i can do every part of the song now, and it's just a matter of time. Thanks for the path Barbaloot, I should "actually" go over the chart like i usually do for songs before trying to FC a hard song and find out my scores shit for one damn reason.

there are way more points in the song than 322,650. And the next to last activation in the chart lasts way to long, i can barely get the last green in the activation, let alone up to the yellow.

According to the chart, there are 2.75+2.24+2.41+1.42 = 8.82 beats of whammy going into the second to last activation (and this already includes the .25 beat taken off each hold). According to debr's formula, this should yield 8.82*8/7.75 = 9.10 beats of SP on top of the 4 measures from the two phrases. The activation I drew is exactly 9 beats above 4 measures, so if you are falling 2 entire beats short, it means either the whammy formula is way off, or the holds on the chart are too long.

If you get precisely the notes marked on the chart I posted under SP, you should get about 323.5K. The rest of the points in debr's upper bound score come from (likely unrealistic) double squeezes which I did not include in the chart, including splitting up the 4 activation into 2-2 and hitting a double squeeze in each.

I Can't Even 4* the fucker! Its a really easy song too! The simple bits get me, i can FC the intro, including the dodgy bit right near the end of it. IT'S NOT FAIR!
