Has anyone 5 starred it? Is it possible? I just got this score.
That's 980,545 and good for 3rd place on Xbox Live. I only missed 3 damn notes and it's still a 4 star. What gives? Any thoughts? _________________

I believe on Npeaen's Spoonman video he didn't miss much notes but he only got three stars. |

He missed 31 notes and didn't activate SP very well. I'll give you that it was better than a 3 star performance, though. However, I only have a 4 star on Spoonman, having missed only 8 notes and scoring 250,000 more points than on his 3 star performance. The star system in this game leaves much to be desired. _________________

Well, a few things that could have knocked you down to four stars.
1)Atmosphere activation/hoarding
2&3)How close together were your misses and good hits? For example, if you happened to miss three notes close together, that would knock you down to a 2x multiplier. Then if you had the majority of your goods with a low multiplier that would shave your score down greatly. If you were to keep a 2x for thirty notes you would get 9,000 pts. instead of 36,000. Now if you happened to get really unlucky and hit 50 notes at 2x & 18 at 3x you would be looking at 23,100 rather than 81,600 a difference of 58,500 pts.
4)Did you have any over strums?
I don't know how the stars are determined in this game, but I'm just trying to throw out explinations here. _________________

1) Activated immediately every time at x8.
2&3) My misses were all at once, but that shouldn't have hurt my score that badly. I was back to a x8 multiplier in no time. Also, at the beginning of the song I was up to x8 multiplier in under 75 notes or so.
4) No overstrums.
I'd like to find out how the star system works. There are probably a lot of smart guys (ajanata, maybe?) working on it right now. Its complicated nature coupled with the complete lack of popularity of the game won't help our cause, though. _________________

Sorry to necro this, but I have something that I think is interesting.
My first run a magic man I got 3 stars, mainly due to not paying attention and staying at ~3x multiplier for the end half of that huge solo. The score was something like 750k.
My second run, a while later, was an fc, 5 stars, etc. My score was 900k.
Is it just me, or is that not a lot of difference at all? _________________
