what the original strong bad email with it in? if so then yes i saw it, 'i make drawing FUN!' lol

anyway, i got a higher score using 2-3 than 3-2, does it just depend on preference?
(this was with 86% in solo and FC everywhere else)

No, 3-2 is just plain better, period. Did you not whammy the last phrase (or activate too late/early)?

With 2-3 I have only been able to get 170-180k tops.

When I started using 3-2, I can get into 190k, which I NEVER did with 2-3.

I was looking at the chart, and I have a question about the second activation.

So you go up on measure 31 and it runs out on the YB sustain in 36, right?

Well, I'm probably wrong here, but it seems to me that if you activate on the BO in 31, 5/18 of a measure later, that it would run out just after the YO chord in measure 37. You'd miss the first 5 notes of measure 31, but you'd gain the first 5 notes of measure 37 as well as the rest of that YB sustain.

Am I right or is there something I'm overlooking?

A 16th note's worth of SP in a 4/4 measure uses more of your SP bar than an 8th note in a 9/4 measure, so (multiplier considerations aside) there is no reason to back up past 8th note chords in a 9/4 measure in order to pick up 16th note chords in a 4/4 measure. Taking that into account, it would be easier to move your suggested activation four chords earlier, to the second chord of the 9/4 measure (31), and squeeze to the first GY chord of measure 37 for the same number of points.

In order to hit this "easier" version of the squeeze (which is actually included in debr's upper bound chart), you have turn 7 beats' worth of SP whammy (with absolutely zero room for early whammying) into 1 and 17/18 extra measures of SP, corresponding to 7.78 beats in 4/4 time. What you are looking at, then, is more than a 16th note's worth of a double squeeze (in 4/4), in addition to the fact that activating late in the 9/4 measure is not as helpful as it would be in a normal 4/4 measure (you are starting only a tiny fraction of the measure later).

So, all things put together, this squeeze would be even more difficult than Lo7's infamous Yes We Can squeeze, and the only return for hitting it is a trivial amount of ticks. If you are going for a FC, I strongly would not recommend it.


The idea of getting the activation to end after the YO chord in the last measure is a good idea, however, if you are not going for the FC and take into account the likely difference in multiplier. Of course, you would need to start the activation a few chords later than what you mentioned for the squeeze to be realistic. I'll post a copy here of my response to a question from k3v a while back:

Quote:
It looks like there are 3 reasonable places to activate, depending on what your combo is coming out of the solo:

A. One measure later (the beginning of measure 32), squeezing to the last chord of the song.
B. The sixth GY chord (or eighth chord) of measure 31, squeezing to the YO chord of the last measure.
C. Immediately, ending during the YB hold in the second to last measure.

Compared to A, B loses 5 chords at 4x at the end of the song, but gets 9 chords + holds in measure 31. For B to be better than A, you would need to reach 3x before measure 32, so you would need at least a 4 combo after getting the last SP phrase.

Compared to B, C loses 5 chords at 4x in the last measure plus a few hold points, but gets 7 chords in measure 31. For C to be better than B, you need to start the chords on a 3x.

Thus, I would recommend the following:
A (one measure later) if your combo after the last SP phrase is 3 or less;
B (sixth GY chord) if your combo after the last SP phrase is from 4 to 18 (so the next chord won't hit 3x);
C (immediately) if your combo after the last SP phrase is 19 or more, so the next chord will have at least 3x.

I think it's possible if you rape the controller fast enough, that is, slowest in practice, you'll probably overstrum ALOT, but you might get it. Even if it is possible to hit all those orange notes at full speed I severely doubt that it's possible to hit them all and still keep a combo.


Yeah..

I still think wupun is shitting us all with that trogdor fc.

just wondering, which streak is faster, trogdor, the hiss in DWDTG, or the beginning in DWDTG straight after the theme lead?

The beginning of TDWDTG and the first half of the evil hiss are fastest (32nds at 150 BPM), followed by the last half of the evil hiss (32nds at 139 BPM), and finally the Trogdor tremolo (32nds at 130 BPM).

Can someone give me a path for coming out of the solo without a combo?

Trust me, you weren't overstrumming.

I dont really see any other paths that would be a better score even if you dont have a combo out of the solo. My best is 194K without any combo out of the solo with the standard path.
