Ziggy Stardust on Hard, I honestly never think I'll get that lucky on that song again

too bad I have no camera to prove it...

Heart Full of Black - this time I have a camera

Now to work on Ziggy Stardust so I can prove it, not to mention a whole slew of other songs

I know I'm not the only one 100%ing new stuff, come on :P

Anyway, three more today, all on hard:

Spanish Castle Magic

Iron Man

Caveman Rejoice

SPC and CR are first place scores too, so I might be able to hang on to them for a while

I'm kind of surprised that I got Caveman Rejoice, especially since I can not get Ziggy Stardust a second time to have a screenshot of it, and I think CR is much harder to 100%

Well done, keep it up.

I'll try for some Hard 100%s later tonight.

This is by far the song I am most proud of 100%ing

Ace of Spades - Hard

Edit: I'm on a roll tonight

Take Me Out - Expert

The #1 score on I Wanna Be Sedated (expert) was questionable and has been brought to my attention as a potentially false score (10k above 2nd place with lots of top scores crowded around 2nd place).

So to determine if the score was possible, I spent two hours perfecting the song.. and still, I came up about 1,000 short of #1 on what seemed like a near perfect run.

Since 1k is much less than 10k, I now believe the #1 score might be possible, although I still have doubts.

Either way I'm still very proud of this score.

I Wanna Be Sedated - Expert

EDIT:
So let's just say I don't give up easily..

I Wanna Be Sedated - Expert

This was perfection at its best, good luck beating this one.

If you're wondering how it's possible, the key to getting such a high score on I Wanna Be Sedated is maximizing the number of chords played with star power. Don't use it as soon as you can.

One example I can give is after you're able to use star power the first time, wait until after the single note (non-chord) that occurs after the 2nd yellow freeze, then activate it. If done properly you should have 6x,850 (I forget the x) during the small pause before the next section begins

Note: if you have 6x,450, then you didn't get in an extra note by delaying notes as you activate star power and rushing them as it ends (in which case I restart the song).

This same pattern is repeated 3 other times throughout the song and after playing it so much I knew similar point values associated with other places in the song so I knew if I was optimal or not. The tricky parts involve getting maximal star power from the whammy bar on all notes without breaking combo.

Had a great session earlier today. I hadn't played most of the first four sets on Hard since February, so I went through a lot of them. Got a few 1sts and moved up to 5th overall, just behind JCirri.

Got 100% on:

Hey
More than a Feeling
Ziggy Stardust
Hey You
Shard Dressed Man
Killer Queen

I also got 100% on Spanish Castle Magic, but my streak was only 496. I know I messed up during the string of orange notes, so perhaps I just strummed a bit too fast in between notes but still managed to hit all of them.

Callout - Hard

This was tough for me, took a while to get the rhythms perfect. But surprisingly it seems I'm the first one to get 100%.
