no, that is wuLFe's path. Krim has at least 4 different activations than that path, and Krim's is right

**ThePriest** · Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 2:32 am Post subject:

The only way Krim's last activation is better than wulfe's is if you can squeeze the last 2 R notes in 164 and still get the last chord squeezed in. (I don't know if it can be done, but that would be ideal)

EDIT: the last chord in the song is actually a 3er, so Krim's would be best. Note chart's wrong :x

EDIT2: Here's Krim's path. 3rd ending is approximate, but it's somewhere around there

My biggest problem with this song is that fill in the verses that contain Star Power - y'know, that

thing. And it's not like I'm missing the same note over and over every time, either - I've botched that thing on every single note seperately. If I hit the first four notes, I botch the RB. If I hit YB-YB-YO, I miss the last YB. It's nuts.

My high score right now is 207K, a run in which I believe I got one of those little fill SPs. My average score on this song is right around 180K, and on the off-chance that I actually hit one of those fills, I usually get 200K, so we're talking a 20K swing in points if I could just pick em up. I'm confident that if I could get all three in one run I'd five-star this no problem.

So my main question is how do you folks finger this? I'm working with 123 on everything except the RB chords but I'm not having any more success with that, mainly because I never time my jumps right. The song differs on the jumps - I think two of them start after an R in the verse riff, but one of them starts on a G, and I just can't get the hang of it.

Also, I'm doing Demonixx's tip and counting my strums, but I'd like to ask how you guys start (either on an upstrum or a downstrum) for each cluster of chords. The ones giving me the most problems are the GB/RY chords in Verse 2 and the last set of RY chords right before the Outro (the one that has a chord, a pause, a few more chords, a pause, and two more chords).

Help plz? I've been having serious GH block lately, mainly just because I'm feeling pressured to five-star this damn song (among others), and I think just getting over this hump would boost my confidence a great bunch.
