Am I the only person who actually likes FTK?

I mean, it's not the easiest song to play due to their lack of steadiness in tempo, but I like the song itself.

got that cherry pie FC, no problemo

girlfriend could be a bit toucher, there's a specific part i mess up in the solo every time, i might have to settle for 23x,xxx

havent played the other two yet because of my loathing of them

I'm going to be away from tomorrow until friday, so this week won't be my strongest of weeks but I think I have a playoff place consolidated

Man! I am so close to doing amazing on Cherry Pie. I FCed it, but my SP was off. Arggh!

Girlfriend...I have to practice more on that song.

FTK, geez...I probably won't do good on it.

On The New Black (with twist): With a total of 629 notes, 65% is a minimum of 409 notes. By my count (which someone else should double-check if they feel like it) there are 420 single notes, which is more than the 65% cut-off. That means that *theoretically* the best score you could get is 409 * 50 = 20450.

However, this does not at all take into account the long chord section from measures 64 to 72, which (unless there's something I'm missing) is impossible to do without hitting some of them.

Oh I imagined there were not so many notes on the new black, I haven't
actually counted it, but got around 25k on a 69% run and it felt like I
got one too many chords out of it soo

Just a feeling I had that
it could've been possible... You guys using SP over the chord section btw?

On another note I just did a Girlfriend run where I FCed the first solo, yay,
FCed the second solo, cowabunga here I come I thought, and then I missed one
note trying to strum the alone green one in this section in the end
which was HoPo-able and thus made me overstrum :S

What's the last playoff rank?

ok, I finally played these songs, and I discovered a few things.

1) Girlfriend and Cherry Pie are 95% ez-mode, with one or two sections that are gonna make me go crazy, kinda like the upstrum-only JTF.
2) FTK is a pretty hard song to keep a multiplier on, but I seemed to do curiously well at actually keeping one. This is probably gonna end up being my song for the week, especially with all the noise everyone else is making about it.
3) I have no freaking clue how to get the lowest score on a song. I think I managed to get myself below 30k, but I dunno if I can drop it any more than that.

Lowest score is a simple strategy but not so simple to do...

1. Try to hit only single notes
2. Try not to ever hit more than 10 in a row (insuring no multiplier)
3. If you have to hit chords to not fail (as you do for a portion of this song) minimize the number of them you have to hit

I know some people are down a lot lower than me.. lowest i've been able to manage is ~27k with 71% hit notes.. I need to work on it.

I'm still debating if it could possibly be benneficial to actually use star power during the chord streak... You *have* to hit a number of those chords or you'll fail the song... with star power you could survive hitting only 1/3 of the chords you'd have to hit otherwise, but your score is doubled for the chords you do play... you are reducing the number of chords (a factor of 3) by more than you are increasing your score for them (a factor of 2) so ... maybe you get less points by using a star power there... i haven't decided, just a thought I had. It's counter intuitive, I don't know how it works in practice.

I wish the rock meter could give me a number of allowable misses along with the graphical meter, it's hard to tell exactly when I'm going to fail
