I really can't understand how those high scores on Fat Lip are achieved. I've played with three or four different paths now, watched some videos and followed the paths and everything, and I'm still falling well short of some of those top scores on the rankings page. I'm not a great squeezer by any means, but I've made a conscious effort to play around with the timing window for this song and see how far I can push certain activations (which is something I rarely do), and I'm still falling way short. Am I honestly missing that many points on squeezes? Maybe I'm dropping too many hold points or something. Wish I had a means of recording my runs to see what I'm doing wrong.

(My score's not posted anywhere except the Leagues page - if this little rant is too much of a "hint" then I apologize elx/Deimos and will fix accordingly. )

Oh well, onto I Wanna Rock.

i know what you mean at first i thought chris used one more sp phrase ! it's really hard...timing window is sooooo short, i'm glad i got a good score (for me )...it's true : vids and paths you can find here and there are so far away from 290k
you're right, ticks are very hard to get on hold notes on gh1 ! i can get or lose 100pts only at the beginning (after like 30seconds) !
well, i'm done with Fat lip anyway, and even if i like this song, it's getting on my nerves...

Go to debr's optimal path site, and look at the approximate scores for the paths for Fat Lip. You should pick a path (no squeeze is probably good) and make sure you're getting exactly the notes you're supposed to be getting. If you're not, then your issue is probably whammying - whammying a few holds well is more important than squeezing at the beginning of your activation. When I'm squeezing I always know exactly what notes my activations are supposed to be starting and ending on, and I usually can tell if I miss a squeeze. Also, it's very easy to lose points on holds on this song, so at least make some effort to hold the holds to the end or the missed points will add up.

Anyway I got a score I'm happy with on Fat Lip in about an hour of playing. Now on to I Wanna Rock (I still don't have this FC... ). Playing Trogdor is stupid, even PhD doesn't want to play it.

Bleck. I can't even hit the ziggies in Trogdor.

IWR looks good though, and Fat Lip is ok (though I may want to consult a path). TWIE... well, my score's pretty good, but my standards for that song demand higher.

Yeeeoch!

TWIE - first time i played it in a LONG time - got almost half my high score.
then, improved quite a bit, but still no 5* - think i'll just give up. Don't want to fuck my wrist up anymore.... i hate this, and people that FC this, or close to it, are bots (ha ha - this is my youtube-noob reference)

but seriously. I think this was a good list of tunes to play actually.
Cross systems like this is something i always knew would come, and I would enjoy tremendously. And, after all my RB playing - i have gotten better

Only hard part for me for this league is - the fact i play with Hyperspeed, and now having to play GH1 songs sans hyper sux.

And another note - since i really like to load my posts up...
Shit, there are a ton of sign-ups - other than Smokey, are there any top guys around for this?

Also - Elx, or anyone - do you know, will this be one gigantic race for the top, or do you think there will be a split (i.e. AAA1, AAA2, AAA3 or AAA, AA, A??)

I was wondering that too. I'm hoping it gets split, because if not I already know I'm doomed.

So does anyone else find it much easier to play the Trog solo on PS2 than X360? I can get -1 on PS2, but on 360 I cannot for the life of me get over -5 on 360. Is this just me or am i weird?
