One thing to note about those powers is those are the "+" versions, ie the upgraded versions that you get when you transform each character via their chapter in quest. The initial powers (which are replaced), are slightly weaker versions of each of those, for example Pandora gets 3x SP, Austin gets half a bar per phrase, Echo gets 5% SP bar per 10 note combo, Lars goes to 5x on his multi, Axel gets only two ankhs, and Casey gets only one shield. Not sure what the judy/johnny ones are.

Johnny's weaker Version can only get 2 additional Stars for keeping the multiplier over 3x.

So I think Judy can only get 2 extra stars for overflowing the RockMeter instead of 5.

For people who played the game and saw the set up, will leaderboards/scoretracking be separated based on what character set up you were using when you got the score? I mean, would there be gametypes where you wouldn't be able to use a character whose ability made it possible to get uber points (thinking mostly of Echo on this one)? Because it seems like everyone would just use her, or more likely the demi god, and the score tracking (for this site too) would just have to be a "Highest score achieved using whatever character set up you want." Kind of seems like that would eliminate most squeezing, but I don't know.

I'm basically wondering if there is a game mode that we could play in that doesn't allow the use of the characters' powers, so that people wouldn't be denied an opportunity for more points by not choosing the Demi God. I agree that most people would just use the Demi God, I'm just trying to see if a certain game mode provides the most level playing field.

As far as people's writeups, I'm getting quite excited for the game, when in truth I didn't think I would be getting it. I'll be quite happy if this is the next GH3 and brings more life back to this community.

HOW TO PRONOUNCE "TESUCH": Say Tea, like in "green tea," or a "golf tee." Then say "Sutch," like when you say "such as," it also rhymes with "Dutch." TEE-SUTCH. Say it right, plz.

<----- One of the hardest banners to earn on ScoreHero!!! The story is pretty good anyway, go ahead, give it a try!

As for Casey's power, what constitutes a high streak? Is it a star for every 100 note streak or something?

It's probably a % of the total notes in a song. I mean a song with few notes would be harder to get all the stars than a song with many many notes (more chance of getting a long streak over and over).

IIRC, you get the bonus stars from casey very early, i think after a streak of like 100 or 200 or something - not very much at all. One thign to note about her power is that the shield protects your multi but not your streak. Streak still gets reset to 0 when you miss a note even when its shielded, you jsut keep your 4x multi.

(this recollection i think is the unupgraded 2 bonus stars power though, so maybe the more stars requires bigger streaks)

Oh boy, I just got my hands on the full version of Warrors of Rock (it will be released tomorrow in Europe and I managed to get my copy already). I've been playing few hours of quickplay+ and checking charts on expert guitar. I'm all excited. This one's a great game. There should be something for all kind of players and all kinds of music tastes.

I'm adding some full combo videos (starting with the easy ones, and I'll probably never gonna upload Sudden Death FC, lol). So if anyone is interested to see here's a link to my channel:
