Da Rules

(Credit to the Ubi Forums for some Ideas!):

1. Anyone may join the contest as long as he's a forum member.

2. You can play "Score Attack" On Hard or "Learn a Song" with all sections mastered (all purple): You may also play a song which does not have DD on Score Attack easy if you cannot get through it on hard as all the notes will still show up on easy but it won't X you out as easily.

3. There are three classes: Beginner, Intermediate and Masterclass. If you enter to the contest the first time, you choose your class.

3.2 You are then leveled automatically as follows: 3x =>90% (3 weeks in a row) or 1x 98% qualifies you for the next class. If you score <=79% on a level two weeks in a row you are leveled down one class. You may choose to follow this rule or not we are very laid back on this rule as some songs are either easier or harder so if a given song in a class is too difficult for you please feel free to enter by playing the song you feel comfortable with.

4. Both instruments are leveled separately.

5. You may only enter in one class per arrangement. (Bass, Rhythm, lead) but you may participate in all available arrangements

6. One Song is chosen for all Instruments and classes

7. Every Saturday new songs are chosen. From all participants of a class, one is chosen at random by Kaijin, Krazyone or Richomat.

8. Every member should put the song he/she would choose in the Song Selection List

9. Only 1 song per class will be selected and only custom DLC's with at least 1 arrangement for guitar and 1 arrangement for bass are allowed. Also Originally included DLC may be selected as well. NO OFFICIALLY RELEASE DLC is supported at this time. . 

10. You only need to change the song in the list if you are selected. If not, you can keep the same choice, or choose another, it's up to each one of you.

11. On Saturday, if your name is picked and you didn't entered any song in the Song Selection List, another member will be chosen.

12. Starting with the publication of the songs, you may enter your score.

13. The scores are entered in the corresponding google doc: Leaderboard Kaijin, Krazyone, richomat and afterdark take care of entering the scores.

14. You must post a screenshot with your score showing the Accuracy %.

15. Ranking is done by percentage first, then by Longest Streak.

16. If you play LAS (Learn a Song), you percentage will be always, xx.00%, if you prefer SA (Score Attack), your percentage will always be xx.xx%.

17. You may choose any song for your class as long as it's provided on the forums and has at least 1 arrangement for each instrument.

18. Every song is up for discussion until Sunday around 23:00 UTC. If you think a song is to hard, please let us know in the thread, so we may discuss it.

19. After Sunday 23:00 the songs are set and are not allowed to change.

20. The contest closes the next Saturday around 18:00 UTC

21. The winners are announced in the OP of the corresponding week's thread.

22. Rules may change without notice. So watch out.

Looks like most people just ignore Intermediate this week.  I like the song, but my fingers hurt from all the bends and sustains.

Welcome to the new people who have joined. Some great scores here. Sorry for my lack of participation I just haven't had much time to play this week. Hopefully I will have some time to play tonight and get some updated scores. Great work everyone I love seeing the improvements you guys are making. 

 

Leaderboard Updated. 

Okay I'm probably done for this week now. Hit everything except 1 or 2 notes in the solo.

 

I could try to go for the 100% full combo but to be honest that could be a pretty big grind!

I'm so happy I joined this. I have a pretty competitive personality, so these weeks have helped me tremendously at improving my skills in most ways!

 

Great scores all, keep it up!

 

 

Well you made it almost impossible for me.

 

Great Score!

holy shit nice streak

Confused.. Thought you had to choose and could only enter in one class - beginner, Intermediate or masterclass - but in more than one instrument (Lead/Bass/Rhythm)??

Now I can go to bed...

I think everyone agreed, that it's only for fun. So pick what you feel like and learn to improve with a little challenge in the background :)

 

Can anybody tell me a way to turn the fucking DD downleveling off?  I did kind of good but at the solopart it downleveled me again, so it doesn't count >:(

Believe me, it was challenging, I spent 4 evening on it... :)

 

Why don't you play it on "score attack" you won't have this problem any more...

My result for this day

@@Rottenboozer so it's your turn

I sure DO believe you that it was challenging. The post was for Hostilian tho :P

 

Edit:  Now I understand what you ment.  The only problem is, I fail EVERY time on Scoreattack( for now), and can't finish

Oh shit!

Nice score!

Such solo!

wow!

 

:)

 

 

 

Edit:  WTF again. I started this song at 100% difficulty, did Ok, and at the end, i have 88% but the end of the first solo is at 98,9 dif. 

@ the solo I meet just two tones at the beginning, I have to practice a bit tomorrow

Leaderboard Updated

 

Well you made it almost impossible for me.

 

Great Score!

 

 

Thanks! For some reason I felt extremely motivated to play this week! Probably because of the great song.

Don't know why this song is giving me so much trouble registering notes and I tried removing the DD but the song wouldn't work when i removed it so because of all the note recognition issues it kept downleveling me when playing in LAS so I had to play it in Score attack and although I made it through finally I am not proud of this score.

These bends are tough on this song with .10's so I had to use my other guitar with .09's and it was still rough.

be proud.

Now do same RR in the solo.

start slouly and increase 1% each time you do less than ten mistakes.

 

I hope i have same time to play tomorrow. The only way to get near thrallsa is to RR the solo till i complete it always below 2/3 mistakes

@Mr Pi Thanks man and yea i still haven't riff repeated any of these songs. Just playing them on the fly. I love the challenge in doing that but I may do some RR just to get those X's out of there. 

im not sure how to enter could some help

ok got walkways up to 93% woot

this competition is driving me to do better I really like it

im not sure how to enter could some help

Well just play and post your score

RR is mandatory to start playing in SA in lots of songs.

And even so if you check previous MC scores some weeks no one reaches SA.

 

You acctually start playng the song when you are able to do it in SA.  There were some songs that i scored near 90 but truly i am not able to play line the Unforgiven 3, Wolf & Raven, La Villa Strangiatto....

 

What i like about a song like Somedy to love is that i can acctually play it now! (You need scores higher then 95/96 to say this)

Haven't spent too much time in this weeks championship. Got 70% on the Gary Moore song. Will need some RR and a few playthroughs, I think I can still post a score tomorrow night if I have some time tonight and tomorrow for practicing.

90th play through this song and still can't put it all together...maybe by Friday!!!
