Sounds interesting :o.

I'm really terrible at WT compared to the other games though <_<.

Full band would be amazing and honestly I think there would be enough interest to support it. I really hope you do consider making it full-band.

I thought it was expert for online qualifiers and hard for regionals/nationals. It didn't matter much at regionals or nationals since we were allowed to play expert but HS2 was pretty frustrating to play on.

Hey Jyn, it's looking good atm.

I really say no to full band. Vocals are just way too broken atm for any fair competition. I would love to see at least 2 instruments, but the main problem there, is that a lot of countries are far less likely to send a team for a relatively new console game, than they are to send a single player.

I even think GH3 would be a better choice than GHWT, but what's done is done and I guess I'll have to adapt.

Some countries have preliminaries in a few weeks, so it's best to settle now on all the rules.

Best of 3 for every match including the pools would be best imo and the thing with the list of songs for the tournament last year was quite good I think.

But anyway hope to see some of you guys in China (assuming I make it in lol).

I know a lot of people are objecting to full band competition and I can understand why... however, I think there can be a way around it.

What if freestyle sections on vocals were not allowed to be used? Or songs that contain freestyles were removed from the possible choices? I think full band play would be a neat mode of competition for clans and such if the vocal problems were considered. Or if not, why not vocals vs. vocals? The strictness of the WT vocal system would lend itself to some intense competition among vocalists (it wouldn't come down to squeezing as it might with guitar or drums).

The Godfather has e-mailed me many times with the hopes that I will be able to compete as a vocalist for the MoB, but if the only way to compete is to spam the freestyle sections then I believe that wouldn't be fair or a true show of the vocalist's skill and would turn a lot of people off to the idea of competing. I know there's a way it could be worked out, I just hope you guys consider it (as well as Rock Band 2). I don't mind playing WT at all, I do enjoy the game, but it's too bad that a game with so much potential for group competition would be only guitar vs. guitar.

I eagerly await any updates. ^_^

I personally think 1v1 guitar is the best choice. Easiest to setup, cost efficient, and most interesting to follow as an audience. Only thing I would change is hyperspeed to 1.

Also I think now is the best time to bring up how many players the US Team should reserve for the GH winners. There was only one spot last year and I think it would be more fair to have at least two. The US have the BEST guitar players in the world (phenom, witwix, priest, jlc etc). We should have more representation in the world finals. Please post and show your support!

Can't wait to compete in WCG! cu guys at the US finals again!

^^ aside from formalities and my position i'm personally an ecstasy fan [of you, the player that is!!] xD i'd like to see you there !

With the vocals thing, as you can imagine with such a loud event like WCG backround noise is so easily going to get into the mic for freestlying [honestly you realy have no idea how loud it gets unless you've been there!]

I would like to see at least 2 reps from usa knowing how strong the competition is there, if someone knows the organisers if they could get into contact with me? darkjyn@hotmail.com - cheers!

3 things,

1. Hyperspeed should be 1 unless agreed upon by both players to change (i prefer 2 on PFO, but 1 is more fair for everyone)

2. Guitar vs. guitar is ok, but for world tour It's going to be very hard for someone who is actually the best to win, just because more than 50% of the seltlist is an easy FC, so basically 50% of the time, whoever has the better path wins, which doesn't really show true skill.

3. Band vs. Band would be cool, but I think it's more important to give drummers there shot at a tourney. Drummers never get drumming only tournaments and it'd be awesome to finally see a drumming tournament. Full band isn't as good as an idea because of the constant star power gotten from vocals, and because the instrument scoring isn't done as well as on rock band. Still band vs band would be better than nothing

Yeah I agree to HS1 as well. Hopefully a list of songs like last year will be picked, to avoid the 70 easy FCs.

A list of 10-15 sounds about right, but imo songs like Satch, HFT and stupid strummy songs like BYOB shouldn't be in the list. Kinda not really fair tournament songs imo. But we don't want anything really easy like last year (omg MNiJ and PiB).
