A few questions about the game

Is it even going to be possible to path it out?

I'm utterly new to this site, so can someone please explain to me what pathing and squeezing mean?

Thanks in advance

Yes it is possible to path out.. and I think not too difficult to path out including rewinds.. However it will be 2 completely different paths for each song. 1 for rewinds, when playing solo for high score, and another for no rewinds, for face offs.

The biggest problem with the path, is any combo break can throw off rewind timing a bit... meaning 1 combo break could mean 1 or 2 rewinds missed before you're back on path. Mostly with rewinds, you'll use euphoria in 1 bar amounts, rather than saving it up.

as far as squeezing goes, in dj hero squeezing plays a larger role than I think squeezing has played in any other hero game...

First there is the euphoria squeeze. Use euphoria late, hit a note late, hit the last note before euphoria runs out. Also there is squeezing with the effector dial. When an effect dial area stars or ends with a note, you can usually get it inside the effector double combo bonus. Just start turning the dial and press the note late for the first one, and early for the last one.

It's tougher... ALOT tougher... but you can do this with cross fades too. For this I use my right hand to do the dial while my left hand cross fades. The timing seems much tighter here than with notes though.

So because of the effector section squeezing though, this is going to be a very important skill.. especially in face off matches where you can't use rewinds..

Don't forget, Grimnir, that the faster you twist the effects knob, the more points you gain out of it. There's even more squeezing.

I think it's not the faster, but the further... I've found if I twist it to near both extreems I get many more points than if I give it a quick but smaller twist...

Althought I would imagine a speedy full range application would be best.
