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.

So here's my final score for Metallica - Die, Die My Darling (were you curoius about what happens when you play non-DD song in Score Attack at Easy difficulty? It's just like playing on Hard):

Begginer Lead - 97.35%, streak 183

I could well be wrong, but I thought I had read somewhere that the timing tolerances were more forgiving on easy than hard and so even with DD removed I thought we were required to submit hard score attacks and not easy ones.

 

As I said though, I could well be wrong, and I'm happy for someone more knowledgeable to educate me. 

Rule #2 (It's allowed on Easy, providing no DD)..

Not sure about the timing tolerances though! I suppose everyone should play on easy for non-DD songs, to ensure fairness. :)

 

Oh.. Quick go on Master Mode (Metallica).. 

Doesn't beat my Hard score but just for fun... :D

No time to play this week so I will not embarrass myself by posting my Muse guitar. Here is the “I Want it All” bass though.

I think I might have managed to find out how to fix, or at least minimise, misses from bends (at least for the Muse song - worked for me).

 

After you tune the guitar at the start of the song, loosen the B & G strings (used in the bends) slightly. 1/16 turn or so.. If it doesn't work, loosen some more.

Rule #2 (It's allowed on Easy, providing no DD)..

Not sure about the timing tolerances though! I suppose everyone should play on easy for non-DD songs, to ensure fairness. :)

 

At a subjective level, I just had a quick go on easy, and it doesn't seem to change my scores any, so probably it makes zero difference.

 

I'll probably stay with hard, and use easy only if I can't get through a song without 3 big red X's  :)

Easy is allowed for songs that do not have dynamic difficulty as its the same as playing it on hard but the only difference is that you can miss more notes before getting an X. This is great for us folks who want to post an accurate accuracy% but cannot get through Score Attack on Hard. So as long as a song doesn't have DD they may be played on score attack easy if you don't mind getting a lower point score lol. 

 

Leaderboard Updated 

 

Please if you haven't selected the songs you would like to play this week please do so now as I will be posting the new competition in a few hours. 

I've noticed that @ to the song selection list added 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!' which is my song and I wanted to say that, please hold with that song because its missing solo and by the end of the month my friend will probably tab the solo and I will update the song. I know its a hell of a song but people should have the oportunity play it fully and properly. So please in championship, wait till the end of the month at least with that song. Thank you ! Every other song of mine in the list is finished :)

I Will hold off on selecting that song until you let us know it is ready. Thank you for the heads up.

Thank you !

 

I feel flattered that you guys like my songs, I've seen several of them in the song list. But in this case my OCD tells me, Headbangeeerrrr has to be finished before proper champion ship. I love that song so much lately, that I cant give you something half done. You need the proper deal !

 

Also I think I wont be uploading any new screenshots of my progress. Im quite happy with the 2nd place. 

If it's a problem that I post in every song,then disregard the beginner+advanced scores,I don't mind! :)

@@Shiroo Babymetal solo  is hardcore? For MC? Can  intermediate people it  learning?

Find a little time for final play a song.  It is near my limit, maybe can add 1-2 % but not today. My finish score Muse.
