The Top 100 Hardest Pro Keys FCs

[inv4der]

This song is not the first case of rhythm guitar being the keys part, it's just the first time that said rhythm part ended up being truly difficult. (The couple of others never got about a couple dots iirc.) For what I remember from when the first one was released, the RBN people said that it would only be allowed if there wasn't an actual traditional keys part (synth, horns, etc) to chart instead.

Also, I went and made sure it was rhythm guitar by playing with everything else turned down, and sure enough it is very clearly a guitar and not keys.

I'd be interested to see if anyone can actually do the strumming bits at all, since they're at least steady, unlike the ones in the Andromeda stuff.

EDIT: Here's a chart image so people who can math can take a crack at NPS and such like. http://i.imgur.com/c0tghR2.png The "strumming" is 12.3nps.

I might be able to hit the longer extended parts, (if the song ever came to PS3, which looks unlikely) but when it starts moving all round like crazy, that's pretty much impossible.

I'm not the best at pro keys, but I have some opinions about about placing (from the songs I do own):

Do You Feel is harder than Flight of the Bumblebee.

PON DE FIOR is harder than Toccata and Fugue.

Roundabout is harder than Expert Mode (I can at least pass Roundabout).

Sweet Home Alabama (Live) is harder than Elysian (though I don't know how hard it is compared to Scenes, as I haven't played it yet). I'd also say Higher Ground is harder than Elysian, at least that song has easy sections.

I tried playing This is the Album, and I'm not sure which is harder; that or Paradise. Paradise is longer, but TitAYBWF has those fucking ridiculous chords.

I think Jungle Boogie is harder than Superstition, just because of the note rolls in the verses. It certainly doesn't help if your calibration setup sucks.

I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but Antibodies is much much easier than the list indicates. Certainly easier than Fly Like an Eagle and Sir Duke, to say the least. I think I Don't Wanna be a Soldier Mama is harder because of the inconsistency of it, while Antibodies can be, for the most part, learned.

I also think The Epic is easier than Don't Stop Me Now at least. Like you said, the fast riff is doable and repeatable.

Are we also gonna rank the Impossible List on how impossible they are?

Also you should specify which The Duel you're talking about. Is the one in the Impossible List Rusty's, or Van's?

EDIT: For those misc songs you have outside of the list; Bicycle Race and Somebody to Love could be bottom 100? Head Like a Hole could also be around that too. Also, I don't see Discord, which I think is easily top 10.

If no one else is up for it I can give spamming keys a shot and see where I get in the fast part of The Duel (Van Frisca). Shame that a lot of the keys players seem to be PS3 since they can't access many of these songs.

I would note that my best keys FC is Surrender Live so my ability will likely not be indicative of a top level key spammer.

Elysian doesn't have a PS3 release yet I believe. Here's a video if you wanna judge that way.

I do believe Paradise is harder, but only because it's longer and faster. And I'm referring to the wide chords in general. As the song goes on it gets faster which makes those chords much more of a pain and (for me at the moment anyway) unhittable with one hand, let alone two at times. Chords like this and the five second strech here , and other similar sections are just hurtful :P If it was longer, I'd be tempted to say that it's harder than Paradise.

Discord is definitely a top 5. I agree that it'd be nice at #3.


And I think we should include RBN in it. SH has some fanatics; we'll be able to jump on those obscure songs
