Posted: Mon May 03, 2010 7:43 pm Post subject: Top 100 Hardest Bass FCs (Update: June 28th, 2012) |
|
|
READ: THIS IS A LISTING OF THE HARDEST BASS FULL COMBOS IN THE ROCK BAND SERIES, BASED ON ALL THE FACTORS INHERENT IN THE MOST UP-TO-DATE ENGINE THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN.
That means that anything that can factor as additional difficulty, whether it's lack of BNS (in RB1 only songs), strum limit (in RB1 and RB2 only songs), lanes (strum or trill) in RB3 and so on.
How to help:
If you want to suggest that any song be moved please do two things:
1- BE SPECIFIC, I'm bloody well not guesstimatin' based on vague comments about a song's difficulty, right, give us a range of songs to stick it in. "Move song X up/down" ain't good enough.
2- TRY NOT TO THINK ONLY OF YOUR ABILITY TO PLAY THE SONG, this is supposed to be the community list, and not everyone is exactly like you in ability. Just because you have an easy/hard time with song X doesn't mean everyone does.

Description for Club Foot needs to be changed (since chaosfreak hadn't played it but you have clearly) and RiP description needs to be changed because you don't have it ranked harder than either RttH
I still think Conquer All is easier than Black Magic (Conquer All is the highest ranked song that I have a tech FC of, but I can only hit the doubles strumming like 1/20 times)

I have to say Conquer All is a bit harder from personal experience, since I'm quite consistent on Black Magic.
Any contradictions are due to me just copy pasting the previous ones where they existed, so I'll fix those. _________________

Is Clouds Over California really on the list?!?
I would not have had that in the top 50 at all.
Wouldn't have had Embedded that high either, but that's just me.
I'd put WANTHAC about 30 myself, but that's probably a PAL/NTSC difference with the gallops.
Awesome job, inv4der. This list is pretty much perfect outside of my anomalous opinions XD _________________

What about Ballroom Blitz? That strumming at the end of the break is 15.5 at its fastest (the first half of the 1st measure), and only slows down to 14.1 at the last half of the 2nd measure. I'm still suprised I FCed it 2nd try (not that that counts for anything, but...) _________________

Perhaps switch it out for American Music then?
I'll lower Clouds as well.
EDIT: voided, it never gets near 13nps, let alone 14+, I'd suggest checking those numbers. _________________

I think both JFaC songs got placed well, and I readily concur with the description for "In Memory."
I can whip up the artist names here in a bit if you still want to add that to your list. _________________

Wow. Finally, people can agree Helter Skelter is hard on Bass <_<
I'm surprised I Saw Her Standing There didn't make the list but I Want You (She's So Heavy) did, guess I'll have to replay that when I get my guitar fixed. _________________

Will not remove this in my signature until "Unholy Confessions" by Avenged Sevenfold is added to Rock Band DLC.

Still don't wanna remove it! Happy it's here, though! |

It's about 11 nps actually. But the changing speed of it does make it pretty difficult to hit. Don't think it's top-50 worthy though, I doubt it's even the 3rd hardest in RB1 _________________

Sure, I'll use the artist names to make it easier to tell in case there are duplicate or close names. (I know I confused In Memories for In Memory already)

I had never heard anyone say ISHST hard before, and I got it in one try when I FCed all the Beatles songs. (For the record, Helter Skelter is the only song that took more than one try)
I have the Medley and IWYSSH there because of their extreme lengths (they're the two longest in Beatles), as well as general difficulty of the patterns. _________________

Oh, just noticed. You have the same description for BYOB and LTBR(L).
I'll get on those artist names momentarily, and PM them your way so it won't unnecessarily clutter the thread. _________________

B.Y.O.B.'s description is the same as LTBR(Live)'s.

If people would like to help by writing more detailed descriptions of the newly listed songs (ie: the ones that were not on the old list), I would be more than willing to use them. I'm a bit more likely to underestimate some patterns in songs, and also likely to forget why a song is hard. _________________

Really surprised at no mention of You Got Me Floatin' on the list. The bridge is easily one of the most random sections yet. I wouldn't place it that high (maybe 40's) but I think it deserves a mention. There's also other hard songs from Axis: Bold as Love such as One Rainy Wish.

Maybe honorable mentions? |
