JG's Thread: Holy Wars FC #85/611

**JohnnyGrey** · Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2016 6:45 pm Post subject:

October 4th, 2016 - I've been playing bits here and there still, mostly going for things I haven't done before. I FGFCed GH2 medium, and I went and finished most of GH3 medium. Then I decided it could be fun to try and see what I could accomplish on expert bass.

I'd never really done much with it, so I decided to start with WT. I know this game is mostly pretty easy, so I figured it would be a good place to start. I got 71 FCs on my way through the setlist. I'll go back and get some more later, but for now I'm mostly just trying to get an acceptable score on everything.

I know I could get at least 5 more FCs without too much trouble: The three Tool songs, Sweet Home Alabama and Assassin. I will also come back to improve on the harder songs, like HFT, BYOB etc. as well as redux some FCs that I screwed up the path on.

So yeah, I'll keep you posted on my XBass progress. I think I'll go through GHSH next. As of now, my goal is just to go through all the games, and then I can decide what I'm capable of and how much effort I want to put in.

I have been trying stuff on Xguitar, and did get pretty close to a Crazy Train FC, so that could happen sometime too. Assassin and NSTB are still dumb

You still don't have donkeydonkeyins? I'm surprised, seems like something you would've randomly FCd quite some time ago. NSTB isn't that bad honestly if you can use the hopos. Considering your BatH skills that shouldn't be asking too much :p Cool stuff, good to see progress on WT. Seems like it was definitely one of your weaker games. Bass stuff is cool too, I've always wanted to try my hand at it to see how I'd do. Seeing as I have some experience with open notes now thanks to GHL I might do alright XD

October 15th, 2016 - Finished the GHSH bass career yesterday, with decent success. The only FC left I "should" get is No One Knows, but I'll go back to it later. Freebird and TTFAF are both possible, but would require a lot of grinding. Overall, this game was much more exciting to go through on bass that WT was. I'd say the majority of these songs are harder than the 60 easiest WT songs. I'll probably go through GH5 next, which is probably another snoozefest, but the songs aren't too terrible

Bump for new FC

November 16th, 2016 - I actually got a new FC! First main game FC since June 2013 lol. Video link is here. Sorry about the lousy camera angle. Didn't realize until I had already uploaded.
But yeah, this took about an hour and a half. I would mostly miss in the strumming sections, naturally; Although, sometimes it would just be random misses in the verses/easier solo bits. I had a run where I overstrummed the last slider note, so I made sure to use the slider and not strum on my FC run.

Great job on the new FC! It always feels good, doesn't it? I remember Painkiller being a huge... well, pain to FC. I think it took me like 8 hours of grinding or something ridiculous like that. 40 FCs in GHVH is pretty nice as well, I must say. Not much left that's doable. Guessing the last 4 are HFT, Little Guitars, YRGM, and Romeo Delight?

Hope this is the beginning of a new wave of FCs for ya

So, I recently discovered ways to play the PS2 GH games without needing the disc, since my ps2 laser is more or less dead and my GH discs are scratched to no end. So GH1 and 80s might be back on the market! I just need a different TV to fix the lag for GH1; I could probably do 80s on this TV, since it has calibration.

After discovering LocalH's GH1++ mod, I decided to fire up the ol' PS2 and play some GH1. After going through the career on 120% for lulz, I decided to use the speed mods to my advantage to try and practice some of the elusive FCs I was capable of but had never managed to get. The game lags a bit on my TV, but as long as I go a bit early, it's certainly not unplayable.
All of This made a little more sense, but still kinda weird. Crossroads seems a lot easier but was being stubborn. And Spanish Castle Magic was still a mess.

Then I decided to play You Got Another Thing Comin'.
About an hour and a half later

FC #35 /179 / 567

After essentially FCing it on 90% first try, I figured it was worth the grind. After maybe 15 minutes on 95%, I figured I was close enough where I could fluke an FC. I was ending the solo with a 3x, so I just had to figure out how to make sure I FC up to that point and know which note to start the faster part on a downstrum.

So yeah, first GH1 FC in almost 10 years

Don't expect too much else. While it's nice to be able to slow things down, the lack of practice mode makes playing something at 80% take 125% longer to get to the solo lol (*cringes at CotC intro*). Plus, I feel like the slight lag is big enough where it still causes problems. But who knows? Maybe Crossroads.
