Yay, yesterday at Narrows I beat Meikyou Shisui EXT (lvl 92) with a B 64% Perfects =P okay not great but easily one of my best scores ever on that song.

And I also best Cockpit EXT 92 with a B 59% perfects, blarg.  That was my first time beating it on an arcade machine, rather than just beating it at home, yay.

No, actually... all I have is the game cut.

You've heard Model DD3's long version, I presume, then? =D man I love the Bass guitar on that.

Model DD3 is my favorite one... Hell, I'm starting to like it more than the original Day Dream.

I don't think I've passed it even on Basic yet though.

[AlphaConqerer]

AlphaConqerer

DD4 messes me up a bit; I can get DD3 Adv. alright, DD2 adv. I can understand besides the crazy tom/snare interchange, DD5 is just killer at the end in it's mounting complexity, and DD6 is alright.  The only Model DD I can pass on Extreme is DD7 though  :wink:

Thanks for the kind words on my Model DD3 performance though.  I think Dark just makes those kind of stupid-crazy cymbal rhythms easier to catch.

[uhhh]

haha nah i actually played model dd3 earlier in the day, but a B on adv is still really good. i was kinda shocked you were actually following the chart... because i seriously dont understand it at all, heh

dd4 and 6 (?) i think are the only ones i kinda get, music-wise
and i still have to pass dd4 on ext

[AlphaConqerer]

AlphaConqerer

Aw you had to 1up my ModelDD3 on Advanced huh? Well mine was a pretty crap B anyhow...=P

I still can't get that snare part on Tamayura, need more practice.

You are certainly better than me Mike, but then I already knew that. But I shall persevere!

In related accomplishments,
passed Cockpit Extreme with a B on DM Masterpiece Silver on the KOC drumset lolz.

GH, sorry for the confusion.

And yeah, some Expert songs in GH and GF actually require stamina, as weird as that sounds. My arm gets a little tired when doing songs like Psychobilly Freakout and Misirlou. I need to work on forearm strength and stamina I guess.

[checkrox]

checkrox

MISIRLOU EXT GTR is all a question of stamina.. the picking in itself isn't too fast it's just tedious... you need to have fairly good switching as well to go from sections of 6 notes, to 2, and then back to 6, repeatedly, for 2 minutes.. at like 200~ish bpm.  I can barely S EXT.. =] good luck.

[AlphaConqerer]

AlphaConqerer

Misirlou isn't A) on a CS mix, or B) on either of the mixes we've got in Western WA though.  It's from GFDM V (but didn't make it to the CS version).

Unless Wes is talking about some hidden V+ AC in Western WA we've yet to know about?

[uhhh]

IIRC, Misirlou is in GF as well as GH.

That being said, you're probably right in thinking he's talking about GH, just wanted to point out that it's in both games.

you mean guitarhero? well there isn't really a secret but even though you think you're doing it right, some people tend to go too fast or their arms get tired and start to go slower even though they're pretty sure they're going the same speed.
when i play it, i put an accent on every 1st quarter note (in one measure if counting in 4/4 time) of the streams so i can hear that i'm on beat, although it takes awhile for some to get use to that

[Tyrgannus]

Tyrgannus

Is there a secret to Miserlou? (GuitarFreaks). I get a bunch of non-comboes when I think I'm actually doing it right.

Oh yeah, 5 *'d Beast and the Harlot.

Kagonotori is the best song ever
actually all of those songs you posted scores of are pretty fricken awesome hehehe

[checkrox]

checkrox

It's all variable.. although in my honest opinion anything less than 5x your really giving yourself a handicap on improving.  I started GF on 3x.. then went to 5x for the longest time.  Then I met this dude.. and he played on 7x.. and he told me if I did the same, I would get better.  It was hard for about the first 2 or 3 plays.. then I just got used to it.  Most "pros" use varying speeds, although in japan 8.0x is seemingly the most common.  I would say the vast majority of players fall between 7-8.5x range.  Although there are several (including kuribo!) that use varying speeds from 5.5-whatever depending on what song they are playing.  From what I've seen though, there is a direct correlation (up to a point) of increased speed versus increased reading skill/scores.

[AlphaConqerer]

I play @4x+dark+combo right; might have to try that Position B though...

As for GF, I play with the same settings, but I think it's about time I moved up to 4.5x; most good players seem to do 5x or higher.

[uhhh]

uhhh

geez checkrox, crazy stuff and insane speed reading. at least on drummania, i think x4.0 -x4.5 is a pretty decent speed and i'm not too familiar with guitarfreaks' average comfortable reading level, but i would think 7.0 is too fast :?

I only use dark because my visual acuity sucks dongs.

Position B is really good though, that's always true. I usually play 4x Position B Dark Combo Right.

[checkrox]

checkrox

Depends =P  Some people swear by it.. but for me it means great count + 20 every time.. at least.. I just can't figure out where the damn line is.  For me, the biggest thing that made a difference in seeing the notes was Position-B.. that definetly helps no matter what.

Yeah, tough notecharts often mean that notes seem to blend into the background. Dark totally eliminates that.
