Sorry..nope.
And on dualshock...we frown heavily on them...but we have allowed them on occasion when the player has no alternative. There are many, many twists they cannot play, so they get penalized that way. _________________

If we are allowed to suggest twists, how about a black and white twist? (just go to the menu of your tv, and turn color all the way down) I was just going through doing some weird settings, and found this to actually be pretty hard. Still probably an easier twist than the others though. _________________

I propose we edit this twist
"Upstrum Only – You may only upstrum while playing, meaning you are pushing the strum bar towards your face with the guitar held in a ‘normal’ way (IE no holding it sideways, upside down, whatever). Dualshock players are unable to compete on this twist, and will receive an automatic 0. (Note for debate: Will walking bass style be allowed) "
This is unfair for those who play by strumming down and an advantage for those of us who mainly strum up. I myself strum up and see this as unfair.... I suggest we edit the twist to reverse the normal way you strum. People who strum down must strump up and those who strum up must strum down. _________________

Its not really a matter of fairness, its a matter of a level playing field. Doing a reverse strum direction would still be unfair because downstrumming is much easier than upstrumming anyways. The poitn of the twists is not to be balanced so that they are maximally 'tough' for everybody equally, its for them to be balanced so that they are as close to the same for everybody equally. In many cases, one of the keys to doign well on a twist is lots and lots of practice.
So overall, its the most 'fair' to have everybody attempting the same thing, and if some people happen to have an advantage heading in merely because they happen to have more practice on certain twists thats just a fact of the way these twists go (plus the twists list is public so anybody can practice any twist they want in advance of it showing up). I have a mild advantage over baseline on "no alt strum" twist because thats how i usualyl play anyways (i curshed my previous high score on TNB last week), and i have larger advantages on "low score" and "ends in XX" twist because i have practiced both of those modes extensively (of course i have YET to get a damn low score twist for league, and the ends in XX one i got was a week where i had no time to play and so i was only able to make one run on it).
"black and white twist" sounds interesting, i think we'll experiement with the feasibility of it and maybe that will make it onto the list for next season or later. _________________

=/... Actualy you can strum much faster going up if you get practice with it. I used to play bass so Tis easy for me... When I mean fast.. I mean I can almost do TBatH without strumming up and down =/.. So I still wouldn't mind being forced to strum down mawself. xD And I feel so special that somebody actualy listened. _________________

High Score Ending In xx[/b] – Get the highest score you can, with the last two digits of your score ending in XX. Refer to Barfo’s guide on exact scores (specifically the part about the Hold and Miss sections) if you need advice on how to do this.

How about for Xbox leagues, Killswitch Only. Use the Up or Down Guide button to strum instead of the strum bar. _________________

It's been considered in the past, but there will be no twists for season 6, so it's kind of a moot point. |

There should totally be a twist where you have to play with a heavy glove or mitten on your fret fingers xD. I tried that for the heck of it. It's hard @_@. |
