Quick Reference for RB1 Overdrive Paths (On-Disc, 360/PS3)

im too tired to FC this damn thing anymore tonight. 0-0-0-2 seems to be roughly the same base score as 2-0-2 but with the extra squeeze +backend sqz opportunity judging by the 20 note differential between Jav and I im guessing this is what he used.

my -3 score was 227k range thats roughly 4500points for 3 errors plus i cant squeeze like him. i think its safe to say 0002 is best

''First Ever'' is needlessly redundant and its never acceptable to use more than 3 exclamation points...

@ HoorayItsMike: Yep, check it out, you're right. The bpm is too fast for that first activation to come up, something I didn't know when I initially went to find all of the squeezes. It's fixed now. Keep up the good work

@ BowlZ: Man, I don't even wanna touch this one. I put it into a spreadsheet, but there's just so many things I don't really understand... Like how you ended up with 1/4 OD taking the 2-0-1 path O.o... looks to me like it should be the best. Maybe Constable can take another look at it.

Ok BowlZ... I just checked out Gurnkiller's Epic FC on YouTube, and he uses a 2-0-1 pattern... and doesn't end up with 1/4 overdrive. Are you sure you skipped one at the very end?

However, knowing this works, it looks like that's the best path by a bit. You don't really get much by skipping an extra fill at the end. I'll change it to 2-0-1 for now, unless 0-0-0-2 is better... which I highly doubt. But it could be, in practice.

I just tested both WYWY paths, and the funny thing is, both will yield the exact same score! The only difference is the NS between the two. Without squeeze, 0 1 1 came down to 1374 NS, while 1 0 2 gave a NS of 1349. Both have 6 squeeze notes, and will yield a max score of 169,675! Should I post both paths onto one video?

Oh! And if anyone needs a little guide/video blerb on drum squeezes, please watch this video. It took me a little while to edit, and it covers almost everything about drum squeezes. I didn't delve too much into back-end squeezing >.<

After playing them both, I personally find 1-0-2 much easier. The first skip covers one of those RYBBG things and those fills after the break are really weird, iunno why... maybe because I usually never see them xD.

But anyways Constable, thanks for figuring that out. I'll make a note about that in the OP.

I can confirm that the paths and squeezes are perfect for all the following songs:

I Think I'm Paranoid
Mississippi Queen
Here It Goes Again
I'm So Sick
Sabotage

I either tied for first (damn Javman lol) or got extremely close due to a BRE.

Hi,

I've been working on a program that determines optimal path(s) automatically. Would you folks be interested in the results?

Or is doing this by hand where all the fun's at?

Sure. Here's a couple of samples of the output...

**KEFIOX** · Joined: 02 Oct 2007 Posts: 640

Definitely interesting. How exactly does it work?

It reads the .mid file and creates a decision tree representing all the possible OD paths. It then calculates the FC score for each path and prints out the path(s) with the highest score.

Basically, it does what you folks have been doing here, except it automates the process.

run it on dead on arrival, i refuse to believe all immediate (except for the one skip b4 the bass notes) is the path, im just not good (patient) enough to play around with it
