Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 49

[Rodman]

Ok, established the Ranking table (done with lead arrangements), rest asap.

 

I did it like that:

 

Last 10 weeks scored:

1st place  - 10Pts

2nd place - 5Pts

3rd place - 3Pts

4th place - 1Pt

 

that keeps it more simple than scoring the top 10 and fits better to the competition as there are hardly ever 10 scores in any path.

Scores taken from the championship file - so blame the file for mistakes, blame me for pasting mistakes.

Dont mind the layout - just wip.

 

I really hope Mortalo is willing to let me add as tab in Championship file - no problem i do the weekly updates,

if not i am gonna host it myself and post the updates every week.

I think its really handy to keep track of how the direct competitors are doing, and might add quite a bit to the motivation to come back every other week.

@@Rodman I think you want total rating system. One column for all participants. If member leveled up (or down), he will lost all score?

What about newcomers, they never not catch up constantly participants? As i see now, this rating not objective, it more show us who constantly play in his class with good score, and don`t show skill. An example where is @@NoonyDeloony?

@ Because it's lead :P

Thats to be discussed..

I think the overall skill is taken care of by joining the right class, i did not want to create a rating system, just a continuous ranking for the championship.

I think if you throw all performances, any class, any path in a pot and create one long list that would change nothing - the masterclass players would be on top, down to the beginners, plus overrating of multiple entries - extremely unfair for e.g. bass only masterclass players like @NoonyDeloony, who will not be found above for there are no lead guitar entries, but will most certainly be found in mc bass....

For the newcomers/upgraders - what can be discussed is if 5 weeks for calculation is better than 10, which i doubt cause as you see getting 2 wins gets you top 3, and if you miss one or the other week you are better of with 10 weeks, too.

The ranking is as objective as can be - Try to finish 1-4 - get points and play constantly - and thats what we want all participants to try!?.

I like it @@Rodman, nice work!

 

I'm a little confused about how it will work for players that move up a level, but I imagine that will largely work itself out as you suggest.  BUT, it seems like it will be difficult to win or be close to the top consistently enough to have a high score on this (for 5-10 weeks) without automatically being leveled up.  Then again, that might be mostly an issue for bass, where 98-99% accuracy scores are (usually) more easily achieved than lead/rhythm.

 

That very issue might partially explain why there are relatively few consistent participants that are in the beginner (even intermediate) class for bass.  Maybe the automatic leveling up procedure should be a bit different for bass, to allow the newer bass players to stay down in beginner or intermediate for longer until they are really ready to move up.  Like, >98% for *5* weeks in a row or 100% scores 2 weeks in a row for bass.  ...Or something.  I just hope nobody on the bass side has been discouraged from participating because they end up in Advanced or MC before they really feel like they want to be there.

 

Anyway, thanks for the work in putting it together -- looking forward to seeing the rhythm and bass numbers also!

Maybe I can improve tomorrow, but I won't be able to play for the rest of the week so here are my results:

 

Californication

Beginner, Lead: 98.43%

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=320630065

 

I've been playing this for weeks/month now, but I still stumble upon those arpeggios from time to time. And I also get two many misses in the strummy parts... maybe that's just me, but I feel like the strumming patterns are a little bit... random(?)... quite often they don't fit to what I hear in the song...

I can't decide whether I would rate this 3/10 or 4/10.

 

Wargasm:

Intermediate Lead: 96.14%

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=320630152

Intermediate Rhythm: 94.94%

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=320630110

 

Playing Wargasm is like punching my fingers in the face! But I like how it turned out after one day of practise :-) I could probably improve Rhythm, but for now my fingers are dead...

6/10 for Lead and Rhythm seems fine, I think.

Thx m8!

 

I know now how 2 fix the upgrade problem:

 

As Motive sugested every next classes point could be counted double so - an upgrader will take his actual points/2 to the next level divided in 10 pieces for the last 10 weeks.

 

From my side your bass upgrade modification is perfect!

I am in advanced and surely do not wanna upgrade to mc - i dont belong there!

 

Regards,

R

 

Bass / Rhy upcoming 2 morrow hopefully..

 

I'm thinking of extra stuff like 2 points for a 100percenter :) but that makes it difficult....

[Motive]

@@Rodman You doing great and complicated job. Good luck to you. :) Very hoping that a  result will interesting and helpful for all.

 

p.s. My proof for bass L7:

[MaZtoR]

I agree with @@Azrael about the strumming pattern in californication.  You really need to keep a close eye on that.

 

 

 

Slight upgrade in both songs.

[Mortalo]

Replaced old keys with new ones, puted on 9-46 strings and here it goes:

Intermediate Lead - 90%, 56 streak

Playing it on bass helped a little.

[Rodman]

I know, it is bullshit, but i can not play lead a song MC. Very hard for my, unlike a song and bad tone with my crap hands give my hellish shittish sounds. I break the play on a half way a song. Advanced a nice song and tone, but same, hard for my, not see way correct learn this fast mix chords and notes. Will try yet, but it very disappoints to play. A failure week for my. And feel i must leveled down in  lead to Adv class, at least.

There my the play "random notes" Daft punk lead:

P.s. @ im sorry.

[fripponomic]

did you tried the NDD version? I changed the lead tone there and it fits well. Just took the rhythm main tone.

Sorry for this, the DD versions I will update later, but NDD is fine.

@ Thanks. I will try tomorrow, may be now not my day :) See scores in leaderboard, and feel like that my skill go away.

[NoonyDeloony]

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=320748540 Little bit of an improvement but I'm blaming it on the lurgy. Hopefully be in fine fettle before the end of the week and practicing it won't feel so cumbersome.  

[Nacholede]

Much better now with that tone

A little improvement:

[Rodman]

Ok Rhythm Ranking ready:

 

 

What has not been done is the port of points for upgraders - i´m not sure if that is really needed...

Some of the regular players from lower classes do already compete in higher classes from time to time and thus gather points there, and as it shows most of us settle in the fitting class rather quickly and then stay there for a longer period.

So watcha say? Take half of the points with you on upgrade (which makes maintainance loads harder) or never mind - new class - new start - keep in mind:

As the numbers show - 2 wins brings you top 3 or at least close...

and thats the file for calculation:

[MilkmanDan]

Creeping up ever so slightly on MC Bass:

That might be close to my upper limits, but on the other hand I missed quite a few notes on that little hammer-on/pull-off trill that is repeated throughout the song, where I usually handle it pretty accurately.  So, *maybe* I can squeeze another 1% improvement out.

 

Fully in awe of your 97%+, @@Num14 -- that's awesome!

[fripponomic]

improvement in MC lead

http://s7.directupload.net/images/141001/klw2l36i.jpg

the update to v.2.1 is finished now. For all DD players it's new basic tone in lead path, for NDD it's nothing new, just the version number has changed.http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/straight-to-hell-r7433

 

For the RHCP bass I will try to get out of it what I can, but more than 97% is very hard

[Num14]

i can post a video of rhcp bass if anyones interested?
