My Curse

My SP path:

3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 2

I have a score of 388,918 so far, but I don't think this is optimal. I'm missing out on a couple thousand points somewhere. Any suggestions?

My path, which I have not tested out yet, is...

2, activate immediantly.
2, activate on the green note of measure 42.
3, activate immediantly.
2, activate immediantly.
2, activate immediantly.
1, activate on the yellow note of measure 112. (NOTE: Depending on your whammy skills, you may have to activate a few beats before the yellow note.)
2, activate immediantly.

I'm almost positive this is close to optimal.

Interesting path. I'll give it a go, and let you know how it works out.

Well, MDCLXX's path just got me 1st place with 395K, and I missed some points, so I'd say his path is good. However, I believe you left out an activation in your path. Between the 4th and 5th activations should be another activation, and it would be 2 - Activate.

Let me go check and see what I missed.

EDIT: you're right, I missed an activation. I think there's still a few thousand out there, I have to do some more calculations.

A very good path. It's actually a pretty easy fix in my case; simply switching the first and third activations for my current path seems to yield more points. That must be where I'm missing out on points..

MDC's path is correct, though if you whammy well, I think you need to start the second to last activation a few beats before the yellow note in order not to run over the next SP phrase.

Barbaloot is right. I actually activated on the yellow, overlapped two notes of the SP phrase. So depending on whammy skills, activate earlier. You have to test it out for yourself.

You might want to fix up your path a little, in terms of activation spots. You are missing a bunch of points by following your exact path.

Also, third activation should be activate mid-y hold

The second to last activation should be activated on about the 10th beat of the G-O chord, as long as you whammy everything out well.

Tested it out.

Roughly the 10th beat is optimal.

I love the path, but I would also love to see a visual for it as well if some one could do that, thanx.

you'll notice his last activation is very early resulting in the lower score
