Yeah, not just the FCs, but also the 1st. Damn. It's like squeezely vs. FCeezly over here.

I know you're asking Alex, but imo it's Done With Everything. I can see 21CSM being difficult potentially, but it's so reduced compared to the Expert chart that I don't think it contests.
Great job on the GH5HGuitar FGFC, Alex! You don't have Trogdor yet, do you?

All of your H progress recently definitely fits somewhere in your more impressive feats.
So close to the FSFC now
It's too bad GH2 won't be as pretty |
Yeah I'm honestly amazed no one even came close to Fug after all these years. His scores weren't especially strong in this game tbh. But yeah I'm pretty proud of my H scores, much like I am with X Bass :p GH2 will probably be one of my worst games, score-wise, but who knows. I might relearn how to squeeze in that game still!
| Ambrgarden wrote: | | hardest GH5H chart? |
Hard to remember exactly, but DWEDFN definitely stands out as one of the trickier charts. Lots of quick strums followed by two hopos. Scatterbrain was also deceptively hard, but probably not on the same level. American Girl's outro was also really dumb for some reason. I think those would be the biggest standouts to me.

Thanks! GH5H is not a terribly difficult FGFC, but there are a few tricky charts here and there. But 1st overall on any game is crazy, and that certainly took a ton of work!

Haha. Go FCeezly! FCeezly wins! But yeah, I've been pretty consistent this year with getting new FCs along with my H guitar squeezing. Very productive so far, I'm happy :D

I don't remember 21CSM being hard at all tbh. Like I said in my reply, I thought scatterbrain and american girl probably round out the top 3. As for Trogdor, I actually did get that FC! I got it the day after I got the Expert FC, it happened surprisingly fast. The FSFC is basically in the bag at this point :)
EDIT: 6/9/21- As is tradition, I alternate between some H guitar accomplishments, and a new X FC. I'm liking this system so far! So yeah, Spanish Fly FC, #45 for GHVH. I gotta say, a week ago I would've said this was the least likely of my five remaining "possible" FCs. However after a short-lived TDWF grind proved... less than fruitful, I decided to try the VH solos again. I had some mild success with Eruption, and then played some Spanish Fly. To my surprise, I actually started to get some consistency in the tapping, even hitting all of Fly Paper a few times. I decided to start grinding the song after that!
About a week later and after 15 hours or so of grinding, I finally did it! This was quite the painful grind, partly due to the taxing nature of the song as a whole (both arms got quite sore from fretting/tapping!), and partly due to the short length leading to many more restarts than other songs. There were three main problem areas- the beginning of Tapping 3s, the triplets in the middle of Tapping 3s after the ghost note (two Gs in a row), and the beginning of Fly Paper. I would constantly be learning and unlearning one or more of each of these sections, and just couldn't nail them all in the same run. I ended up with probably 10 minus one runs because of this. I also unfortunately choked at least once after the last hard part. However tonight I finally lucked out and hit all three hard parts, and didn't choke! Definitely my best FC in the game, and possibly my best FC in the series at this point. Very proud of this FC, and even more relieved that the grind is finally over. Unfortunately, my high score is a non-FC run, because I didn't want to risk activating with select in the middle of tapping Fly Paper (tilt doesn't work). I ended up not using sp at all on the FC run... so unlike me, lol. Oh well!

Oh, and one more thing, I played some Eruption as a bit of a break from SF the other night, and managed to get a -1!!! If I can learn to hit the strumming again, that FC should be the next to fall

FCeezly wins indeed  nice job! I was definitely surprised by the non-HS FC. I guess now I can do that with no shame on every future FC xD

Spanish Fly is such a finicky song. I remember practising some sections for a compilation video a long time ago. It's harder than it looks. And it looks hard. Nice job.

Impressive as always. And now with a good score to boot! I'll definitely try to compete with your score, but it might be a bit out of reach  Glad to see it didn't take all too long after the first FC to redux. Seems like Eruption won't be too long now which is super crazy.
And then...
Getting pretty close to maxing out there sir

Thanks! Regarding non-HS FCs... whatever floats your boat, but personally I hate it haha. Green 99% just feels so wrong. I fixed the SF score with some VERY nice squeezing, and I hope to do the same with Eruption. It's hard to have good sp on songs that require tapping when you don't have working tilt :(

Yeah, SF is honestly insane. The whole song is intense, but the trips especially are just a mess. There's three transitions specifically that are extremely tricky, including one spot that pretty much requires you to ghost a note to hit it (G followed by another G). I have come to agree with everyone who says Eruption is harder, but it isn't by much honestly.

Thanks! I'm honestly so much happier with my SF FC now that I have a good score, lol. I would love it if you tied/beat my score, personally I am pretty much done with the song lol. Eruption ended up taking a few weeks, but yeah relatively quick. Who knows how long the next song will take. Everything is hard haha...
EDIT: 6/28/21- And the new Expert FCs just keep coming! This is my 6th FC of 2021, and my 10th FC in the last year (which is also my 10th FC in the last 6 years, not counting GHL, to be fair lol). Can't believe how far I've come! I'm definitely running out of doable songs at this point, lol.
Anyway, so I FCd Eruption! Its certainly a song that's been possible for a long time, but until recently I had never seriously grinded it. In the process, I ended up FCing SF, which I always thought was the harder song, lol. For some reason, the strumming became impossible, despite having FCd past it multiple times in the past. I did get pretty good at the tapping though, hitting the entire tapping section in practice a few weeks ago, and even doing it in a real run, getting a -1 on the song. It wasn't until about a week ago that the strumming finally clicked. I hit it 11 times in one session, 28 times the next day, and at least 10 more times the day after that. Even today, I hit the strumming 4 times or so before I FCd! So yeah, over 50 FCs past the strumming without an FC... quite the painful process. Most runs died immediately in Trill Madness, but a few made it into the tapping, and usually died to a random miss. I had one painful choke in Seriously... and then I choked there 6 more times, including twice after the final R hold. I included all of these chokes in my FC vid. All the suffering was worth it though, and today the grind was quite short before i finally FCd! Much like with SF, my FC score sucks, but I will definitely reFC ASAP with some assistance on the select button, lol (my tilt does not work, and I cannot hit select while tapping).
Next on my plate? Either finish off the H FSFC, go for IYWP/TDWF again, or try BIM on for size. I have never really given that song any serious effort, it might not be as bad as I think...

Congratz again! I think Eruption was probably one of the first songs where I got the non-hs FC. Due to dysfunctional tilt-up as in your case. The difference is I didn't really care and never went back ' but more ontopic, the next one is going to be a big one. 545 may well be the last possible major milestone (like, without selling your soul to the devil).

I don't know what I expected a month ago when I said you should give up on WoR and try VH again. Definitely hoped you'd feel more confident about SF, and maybe figured you'd pick one of the songs and feel confident to try it, and maybe one FC
But both FCs within a few weeks? Amazing.
Of course they're sort of similar, and you'd been somewhat close before... And you're Alex. So there's always a good chance that you'll pull off crazy stuff and leave us all stunned.
Congrats on 'finishing off' another game. I'll leave the quotes, since you never know, even though in this case I think we do know pretty well :P

Thanks! I'd say your eruption score is even more impressive, I am super jealous! (I still need to redux that). Also GHM FGFC kind of blows both songs out of the water, lol.

Thanks! Due to some issues with my guitars I may have to leave the non-FC HS for a while... disappointing but it gave me an excuse to go back to GH2 H. As for the milestones... yeah 650 would be the next step up, and I really can't see myself getting anything after 647. That being said, I keep surprising myself, so who knows. At that point, I'd need to start looking at stuff like SD, BatM, BB, Satch, One GHM, or BWoLP... all of which are scary to say the least haha

Haha, I definitely exceeded my own expectations with the SF FC. I guess you were somewhat right about that song, despite me sticking with my standard tapping methods, lol. Eruption was more expected, but even then it feels amazing to finally nail that one down. And yeah, 46/47 is good with me forever haha
EDIT: 7/6/21- Due to some issues with my 360 guitars, I deciided now was as good a time as any to return to GH2 H and finish off the FSFC. I really had nothing hard left after getting Trogdor, and it didn't take long to get the remaining 30 FCs since I wasn't going for much in the way of squeezing. I saved HSB for last for the lulz, so yeah that is FC #64 for GH2, and 660/660 for the first 11 games. I know many people would consider this the FSFC, but it won't feel complete until I get at least GHL Advanced, so I won't call it the FSFC quite yet :p (I also want to get BH FGFC just for completion's sake, lol)
Besides those last two games, I also badly need to redux GH1 and GH80s H, since I didn't even use paths in those games. Even without those, the GHL FGFC should get me first overall on the H leaderboard, so that's exciting

Congratulations for finally getting HSB! That song really is terrifying, especially on hard. But yeah, you got Trogdor so early on I had a few changes to go for it myself and snatch the H FSFC before you but oh well
Trogdor and TTFAF GH3 probably were the hardest songs for you, too. What do you reckon were the next hardest few songs? Like TF (maybe not with your GH1 skills)? MoP (easy though once you figure out the glitch note)? Misirlou since you were originally NTSC? Or maybe like BWoLP, GHSH TTFAF, GH3 One or something like that (just a long song that's not super easy)? TDWDTG would maybe fit in that 3rd place sot so maybe you should give it a go (if you haven't already), it's pretty fun

Congrats Alex, after watching a few of your streams in the past months, I had no doubt you'd eventually succeed and finish off the entire H series. Now for more Expert?

nice job on the FSFC. I know most don't consider GHL to be part of it, but it's so silly and wack that's it's super fun in the end. plus relearning new stuff is always good.
