Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I decided to start up GH2 (this is on PS2) again a couple of days ago, and so I was playing career on Hard mode. I got through the entire thing, only having to restart once (Monkey Wrench), and then I got stuck on the last song I had to do before Free Bird, which was Misirlou (the song overall was easy, but I really suck at the parts where you have to strum really fast). I beat it this morning and beat Free Bird on my first try. This made me quite happy.

I know it`s only Hard and not Expert, I can still play Expert, but I can`t beat the entire career.

FC'd a couple new songs today.

#26 = Shout At the Devil. (Lol #26? whatever.. at least I got it finally.)

#27 = Jessica. (Harder that I thought it would be actually. Not messing up once in the 2 minute long solo can be difficult. Only choked twice on the ending.)

im not that good dude. my friend might be able too. im uploading the video as we speak. ill send the link ASAP

heres the video. yah im 14 really. it was at like 3am so i was tired and thats why my vaice is weird and kinda hoarse. heres how i beat TTFAF. no tappin whatsoever cuz i find it cheap, but hard too. so yah. heres the vid.

No score page?

Come on, don't piss around with us.

At the moment I only own Guitar Hero 2 for the Xbox 360. I am currently working on going back and getting 5 stars on all of the medium songs. Easy mode is 100% completed. Has anybody had some trouble transitioning from medium to hard mode?

I had a lot of trouble, that orange key just bugged me to no end. It wasn't the extra notes and complexity of the charts, it was moving my fingers left and right to get the notes that got me.

Also, still stuck on Raining Blood, # of the Beast, and One in hard. I must be a retard, because I failed Mosh 1 without even coming out of star power D:
And I'm stuck on The Seeker on expert.

That's where I am going to mess myself up at. I only use three fingers on medium, and just slide my hand down the frets, but then again there aren't many blue notes in medium. Hard just seems a little bit faster paced and a lot harder to get used to. I'll most likely have to start using four fingers. Could anybody tell me where to place what finger?

IMO, there aren't too many oranges in hard, but it varies from song to song. For example, Miss Murder has far more orange notes than green notes on hard. Whether my hand rests on GRYB or RYBO or stretched across all five with one in the middle missed out depends on the song.

If you're struggling, I found it easier to stretch my index finger from red to green than my little finger from blue to yellow.

Not many great accomplishments to announce. I've decided to do the Score Hero and I was able to pull off a few squeezes on Sabotage that got me another top 100 score on Xbox Live. Unforunately I'm sure the uber-squeezers who were playing the same song have already knocked me down. I also managed a really good -4 run on Don't Hold Back (there may have been an overstrum or two in there as well). I don't think I'm going to be FCing it anythime soon though.

I may be able to FC 3s and 7s soon. I've got it down to a few stupid mistakes everytime.

dunno if this has been posted, but Jordan has been FCd by 4 different people now (HellAshes, K3v, Jnukes2 and petererk) and 7 times altogether, 2 by HellAshes, 3 by petererk and 1 each by Jnukes2 and k3v

Ugh, my (Xbox 360 Les Paul) controller is broken D:. I can't hold down a GRY chord, and then strum. If I do, it doesn't register the note. If I press in the notes at the same time as I strum, it's fine, but if I don't, nothing happens. If I hit the chord when no notes are on the screen or whatever, it counts as a missed note and I loose my combo.

No FCing closer for me D:

finally fc'd cult of personality.

Try stretching a rubber band from the strap holder on the back of the neck to the one on the base of the body. If that fixes the problem it means the contacts are just a little dirty. You can either leave the rubber band on it, try rubbing the contacts in the neck with a clean eraser, or buy a bottle of contact cleaner (probably about 5-8 bucks). It's one of those unavoidable frustrations that comes from the Les Paul's design.

are you the same Jercurpac thats on SH?

Thats some nice no fail mode youve got on there. Sorry but that was so incredibly fake that it took me about 20 seconds to figure it out. Most of the notes dont even flame up. Please take that shit elsewhere.

Haha, nice catch. I noticed that he probably would've failed in the intro, had he not had the cheat on.

I don't know why you're saying sorry though. :P

because he's a preteen, im told they have feelings and stuff us bitter old men dont.
I finally fc'd hit me with your best shot, bringing my 100%'s up to 30 and my fc's to 27, there are a bunch more 100%'s in the near future, hopefully culminating in at least 35 fc's, although not any time soon. I've also changed my mind about how fun KoC is, but it doesnt mean im any good at it haha.

Well I have been absent a bit lately around NG but let me assure you I have been playing GH like crazy. To prove it I will show you my stats as of last month and then I will show you them now.

Yeah, I have improved a fair bit. Got my career total up to 11.3 mill.

Anyways, I will keep up the work and hopefully get in the top 500 soon enough and then maybe get to 20mil. We will see?

FC'd a few more songs

Carry on Wayward Son

You Really Got Me

Also got GH80's. Got my log and was over 7.5 mil strictly on sightreads.

First moderately difficult GH80's FC I'm going for = I Wanna Rock. I've FC'd the solo about 6 times already.

Today I've decided to try something crazy, amazing, awe-inspiring, and possibly so challenging that I may just die in the process. I, Jercurpac, do solemnly swear that I will FC Number of the Beast. I don't know exactly what's compelled me to reach out towards such a feat, but I figure twenty minutes of practice a day and I can get it eventually. I'll admit it's not as mind-blowing as a Jordan FC or any of the songs that no one in the world has FCd yet, but for someone at my level it's quite the feat. Especially since only 25 or so people on Score Hero have FCs posted.

So far today I've been able to FC Solo 1 on slowest and slower without much difficulty. Aside from holding combo through out the verses that's going to be the biggest roadblock.

And now I've just confirmed that I can FC Solo 1 on slow.

Hey, guys, is it possible to get the achievement for 200k without star power on Cult of Personality on hard? I'm not too shabby at it, just need to sort out the second half of the second solo a bit better and I'll have a FC, so I want to know if it's worth doing it without star power while I'm at it, or if I should just grin and bear it until I can play it on expert.

If you FC this on vid I'll handwrite a congratulatory note and mail it to you. For serious.

#otB FC's baffle me. I hadn't even gotten 400k on it when I quit GH3. <.<

yes, but you have to basically FC it

oh, youll be fine then

did you know about the little 'cheat' to get you over 200k, if not tell me

Star power at the end, as long as it doesn't run out before the song ends, right?

I'll probably do that, have to figure out when I can start it to get it decent, but yeah, I know about that.
