Whoa, that's a nice comeback. o__o I might try and tie that when I go to dad's next time (since I squeeze better on the comp screen there)...

...Will you be going for 60 1sts again? :D Or the most firsts maybe? I think I have 53 after losing that Slow Ride... And I still can't help thinking you're probably a better squeezer than me. >__>

I don't think I can reach 60 anymore... but I already had it 4 times so I really don't care, lol.

That's a nice Slow Ride score... more left? 70 after the first activation maybe?

Nice job with Scatterbrain FC and 1st, GH5 is MY game so when I FC the beast I'll try to steal this first... and jakeyboy isn't the best squeezer around so that's why you beat him :P (If you read this jakey: jk, that Gratitude score is impossible to beat).

I do use all 4 finger on top of the whammy bar. While playing downstrums sections, my hand is almost completely open, my index on the tip of the whammy bar. When I need to whammy, I slam both my thumb on the strumbar and every other fingers on the whammy. I'm using strike's theory of late whammy and strum every whammy sustains late (including that orange hammeron sustain before the last activation).

EDIT: I'll let you get a head start on GH5... I'm 1st on more than half the songs and I'm busy with RB2 right now.

If you ever try to squeeze the game, go for Gratitude please. I want to know if jakeyboy got insanely lucky or if I'm doing something wrong.

So I found glitched ticks in Mississippi Queen. Well, not found, but I found that you don't lose whammy, which used to be the consencus. So when I discovered that, I got 1st place two weeks ago (129,900). A couple of days ago I got a new camera. And just because MQ was the path I had the freshest in memory (and I'm lazy), I did a couple of runs of it with the camera on. And well, here's what I got: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GloQMMfQLlw

The score is the same as Ape's plus 13 points in glitched ticks. Not bad, but not optimal. I know I've hit another tick on the 2nd act. a couple of times.

Good luck on GH5 1st overall dude, shouldn't be too hard for you

Nice GH3 scores, but I mean that's hardly anything new.

I'm in this season's GH3X (Division Knights of Cydonia) and GH5X (Division AAA) leagues, going into the playoffs as seed #1 in GH3X and #3 in GH5X. I'm not used to GH5 squeezing and haven't gotten any 1sts there. But on GH3X, I have made sure to get one 1st on video for each week! In order: Even Flow, Radio Song, Pride and Joy and Paranoid. On top of those I got optimal on Suck My Kiss and 221,966 on Slow Ride. As insane as that score might look, I had some assistance by some extra ticks on the second activation. In fact I know of 221,994 points. So who knows, maybe 222k is going to happen.

Well, this was over a week ago now, but I thought that I would dig up this thread of much nostalgic value to me. I'll begin with an iamchris4Life-esque statement: I still exist!

Now that we've got that out of the way, I'm sure many of you noticed that the leagues this season brought me back. Heck, I'm even on the front page

. I had not played GH since I lost against Fug in the GH:WoR XG league the spring of 2011. So I felt really, really rusty coming out of the gate. I made sure to make a lot of time for the first week, and play every day to see if I could dig those squeezing abilities up.

As a side note I was most worried about my whammying, thinking that my broken old GH5tar was the only one with which I could get any good whammy. For that reason I played Radio Song early in the first week, even thought it hadn't been picked, just because I knew that it had tricky whammying. And pretty soon I got optimal. That's when I knew that I was on the right track, and that I would do just fine with my good ol' Les Paul.

The biggest challenge week one was FCing Cliffs Of Dover. On the final day things went really well, and I ended up getting scores so good that I got the highest score on all 4 songs, including a new first place score on Rock and Roll All Night and one tick from 1st on WYWY. But I got some good competition, mainly from UndeadFil13QC, alexhaz64 and Chupacabraz. So I started with 400 points week 1, having just called myself "rusty". Might have put some fear in my opponents :P

Week 2 I won 3 songs, but didn't have a chance against my competition on One. That included a tied 1st place on Cherub Rock. You could also say that I got a semi-tied first place on HMWYBS. The 1st place score uses a glitch that can be debated (and was, during the league). I guess it's fair to use it, but I haven't used it, because it involves playing with lag settings WAY out of sync. Strangely, I tied ukog-monkey's ticks while testing playing on my HD TV with 80+ ms lag. While not glitching like the current 1st place did, lag surely had an effect on ticks gained. So I guess my next thing to do now is to try getting those reptilian ticks, playing with lag.

I had no time to play week 3, so my scores were first FC scores. Except CoP which I somewhat embarrassingly didn't FC. I still got the best score on Even Flow.

Week 4 was another great week where I won every song again. So I got 400 points two weeks! I got Mauvais Garcon optimal and a new first place score on She Bangs the Drums on video.

The playoffs went, if possible, even better. I'm really proud of all the scores that I got there. In the quarterfinals, I got a basically flawless run of Black Sunshine, which for all I know could be optimal (but don't quote me saying it is). In the semifinals, The Way It Ends was picked. Even if I once won a league by getting 1st place on that song, I saw it as a worrying song choice. It ranks amongst my best FCs, and I wasn't sure if I was up to the task again after all this time. Things were looking bad initially with a couple of outro chokes and in general not a single FC, until I suddenly hit the insane 2nd activation squeeze and went on to FC the rest, missing only one squeeze that I was going for. That netted me 3rd place and the highest score on video! It is now one of my biggest long-term goals to get 1st place on TWIE, preferably optimal-ish.

The final was against Undead, who had gotten just a slightly lower score on TWIE. And the song was HIC. I was sure that it was going to be TTFAF, lol

. Together with newuser1234, we could establish that there actually was an extra 400 point squeeze remaining on the 4th activation, that nobody had ever gotten before.

I wasn't feeling good on the first day of the final, and couldn't manage a single FC. Granted, I gave up around dinner time because I knew it wasn't my day. The second day was a lot better and I was prepared to grind a lot. I knew that I had to be away most of the Friday (day 3) and all of the Saturday (final day), so I really went for it. The 1st place score at that point was ggamer's 505736. I got these scores that Thursday (in order): 505324, 505508, 505508 again, 505708, 505724, 505736, 506108 and 506124.

I got the 506108 score around midnight and felt good about it. But the ticks were not good, and I was playing really well at that point. So after trying to settle down for sleep, and pretty much failing at it, I started playing again, and got 506124 really fast. Knowing that 506136 was the score that I really wanted and I was starting get seemingly consistent at the 4th squeeze, it was kind of hard to call it a night, but I had to.

Friday was Midsummer's Eve (a big thing in Sweden), so I only got the late evening to play. And like I said, the next day I couldn't play, unless I would bring the game with me. So it was time to do what had basically been on my mind since going to bed the night before: to get the score that I thought could be optimal. On my first intro FC, I didn't get the first squeeze, but I continued and I did hit the 4th squeeze. Then on my second intro FC, it happened! So about 15 minutes was all that was needed. That was a highly relieving moment.

I didn't know if more ticks could be possible. And a potential 3rd activation extra squeeze seemed a bit too impossible, so I felt safe. But when the results came, it turned out that Undead, to my surprise (not because it was him, but because I didn't know it was possible), got one more tick. But I had the extra 400, so for the third time, I had won the highest division of the GH3X league! That was important, because otherwise Undead would've tied with me at 2 each

And as a bonus, I got a trophy next to my name! A nice stat: out of the 19 songs that I played during the league, I got the exclusively best score on 15 of them!

So I want to thank ScoreHero for still running leagues every once in a while! It's been so much fun to squeeze again and with great motivation. Leagues have always been one of my biggest motivators. They are what brought me to ScoreHero in the first place. But hey, there are more motivators. Hmm, it seems ggamer still has more 1sts than me...

Hey Bj0rn, i have been wondering something. Are you ever going to FC Before i Forgot, Helicopter, Monsters, In The Belly of a Shark, and Go That Far? You obviously could :P and it would give you a really good rank on GH3 as a whole. Sorry for being a pain

but i just am astonished at how good your GH3 scores are, and you are missing 100k on monsters lol.
