Doll & Dammit

[bigfish]

Rather than list full score updates I will just try and keep a regular play by play on major moves.

Doll -
As of challenge start, many of us were tied at the 46,000 mark, which seems to be the standard FC score for this song. Although a few of us managed to squeeze out a few more points including myself, dcnjack, sebrun and Juliefoo... who jumped into Rank 2nd overall with 46,148. Nice job everyone. Keep trying

Dammit -
Juliefoo again in the lead here with a 2nd ranked score of 260,590! Awesome job! 4 other Freddy scores in the top 50!

Hopefully, by now we are all on each others friends list. If not I encourage it. And remember, this board is for everyone. If you make a major move, feel free to let everyone know yourself. Nothing wrong with a little smack-talk to get each other motivated!
;D

I would just like to state how much I am hating Doll right now.

Like seriously hating it.

However, with that being said, and after HOMG a million times trying...

46,164!

I could cry.

Now Julie will hit 46,168 and make me cry more. Because I refuse to sing that song again. Ever. D:

wtg tink heres a tissue

[bigfish]

awesome tink! i think i'm maxed out at 46,116! just can't seem to do any better.

[luxe]

Awesome Tink and me too, cuz we are tied on Doll. Woo hoo!
Got 260654 on dammit but you know how fluid the leaderboards are, anything can and will happen.

I never sang either of those songs before, I liked both of them - good picks even though they're easy songs.

[bigfish]

Nice Job dominating the lead luxe! I kinda picked these 2 because they are easy and enjoyable to sing. Might try something a little more challenging next week. I have a few ideas....

[sebrun]

Well i am going to try these 2 songs a couple of times a night until the battle is over - then i will not be wasting time on the battles anymore, this is not fun at all lol. It has actually gotten me to the point of not enjoying playing RB (and i love some RB lol) - here is why, this is not a matter of who can sing the best at this point, it is mearly a matter of who is lucky enough to activate the OD at the last possible milee second and hit the last possible word perfectly while OD is activated, we can all get 100% on the songs (and hopefully noone is humming like those morons on you-tube lol) but i sing on RB to release the days stress from running my own business and relax - and playing the same song over and over to try to get 28 points is not my idea of fun lol - which is why my career score is not higher also cause i never wanted to just play the same song over and over just to squeeze a few more points out of it, but the problem i have with the battles is the fact that i am either in or out, by nature i am VERY Competitive and Love winning, so if i play the battles then i will waste a ton of time, that i could be enjoying myself on RB, singing the same songs - over and over - cause i know if i do them - over and over - if i can full combo the song - i will eventually get lucky enough to squeeze the last few points out of them ---> but the time wasted is not worth the few points.

So from this point on i will do the songs to post a score and if i get lucky enough to squeeze it on 1 try a day then wheee if not oh well.

I kind of agree with you there seb. I am not down on the songs that were chosen this week or last week. But I feel like it's been more based on star power rather than vocal agility or power. If you can FC the song, it seems to make the competition frustrating, at least for me, trying out different combinations of star power and trying to do the last minute freestyle to start it going. I've not tried over and over again before and the only reason I did that on Doll is because the song is like 5 seconds long. I haven't tried again on Dammit at all.

Then again, it will always be about the star power in the end. D: I like the battles, and will continue to do them, but I'd much rather jam with a band. =)

[tackhead311]

i totally agree with tinks and sebruns point of view. i use to love red barachetta but i must played it 230 times and i fced it as well still got second thanks to a double tap. the battles for me though is i love to see how many of our Freddy's we can can get to the top. sure kool to win a battle but its way more kool to see 7 or 8 freddyites in the top 20 of a song. for me it proves apoint that people like us can rock just as hard as the score hero zombies huzzah! plus if we can maintain our awesome scores i feel it will be easy to get sponsors for some kool prizes cause they will see its just not the billstvshow,gurnkiller,ibiteprettyhard and woozerkristens that rock. its the juliefoos,fishheadstewy,bigfish,sebrun and jesse1376 etc... that rock just as hard as they do !

[fishheadstewy]

i agree with u all, how bout a 10-15 song battle royale where i get song from each player and total combined score wins youd get like the week to complete them all or as many as you can!!!. or would you guys like a new vox challenge every 2 days???

[luxe]

I'm ok with whatever people want to do. I'm basically here for the free shrimp and booze. Oh, wait.

More seriously - I don't have a lot of time to do vox battles either, but if it's a song I haven't played yet, and I do have time, I'll play. If I'm busy or I already played the song and don't want to bother with it again, I'll just pass on that week's battle. It's all optional, right?

What I would really love to see is a vox v. drums streak battle! Come on voxers We can take them!!!

[tackhead311]

WHAT FREE SHRIMP AND BOOZE WHERE!!!!!!!!!

[dcnjack]

I want free booze and shrimp! Dang, someone was holding back on us...

Now seriously I want shrimp tonight. ><

I think the vox battle every two days would get tedious to update. That's up to you.

As far as the big battle royale, well, I think it's a good idea in concept. We can try it and see how it works.

Ok here is my view... we are all good at different songs and we mostly all play expert.. I don't enjoy playing the same song over and over and i will only play it till i get sick of it.. thats why we all have a lot of DLC.. Variety makes it more fun.. challenges are just that.. to challenge you to do your best. some of us may love the song and have played it a hundred times and some it will be our first time playing it..

For example I suk at vox because I haven't done much of it. I will try and sing it on the hardest level i can and be happy with what i get..

Bass I can do really well on some songs and some songs I just cant get the beat down.. there are songs I thought I would never get through and over time playing other songs, I can now play them decently..

To me each song is a puzzle and figuring out the best we to score points is part of the challenge..

I am new to vox and can't Fc a song.. on bass I can fc a lot of songs and do get bored playing some of them... I wont always get the best score and that is ok as long as I have tried my best

We all are competitive. but is also about having fun and enjoying what you are doing..

I would like to start some full band competitions but no one is getting back to me on that one.. I will keep trying

[sebrun]

Well I was just sharing the way it made me feel and I guess some felt similar feelings - I am with Tink I love playing with a band and having variety in the songs and it is exciting cause you never know what your gonna play and so what if you miss the first phrase getting your pitch right or maybe you full combo a song you dont normally do well on but it is all FUN.

I am gonna still post scores in the battles, I am just not gonna strive as hard lol. I was just pointing out how it is not really a test of vocal talent as much as OD activations lol. And it is just insane how the game will seem to not really activate the OD the same each time even though you do it at the same point.

And another freaky thing i found from doing these challenges is that the game randomly takes points away sometimes for no reason at all lol - on wonderwall for example at the point where you should have 10,000 points (without dropping multiplier) one time i had 9,994 points and the worst i noticed was 9,668 points lol but I had awesome on all the phrases and it did it on doll and dammit as well a few times it is just a glitch i am sure, but i would never have noticed it had i not been so focused on score.

But I do like the idea of a battle royal type thing like was suggested but this is how i would do it (it does not have to be done this way - just my suggestion to make it as fair as possible)
* First of all have someone running the battle that does not play in it (not saying the way it was before was not ok but this suggestion requires the person picking the songs to not be in the battle because it would give that person an unfair advantage in this method)
* Make it a Week long battle like now and have it where it is TOTAL SCORE Based.
* Have 6 Songs but the catch is ONLY 1 song is announced each day so when the battle ends on Monday night the person puts up the 1st song for the next weeks Royale and you have until 12pm pst the next night to post scores on that song then the next song is Announced and you have til 12pm the next night and so on all week til 12pm pst on SUNDAY night then the person running the battle has Monday to figure the scores post the winner and pick the song for the 1 day of the next battle.

Thus making it much more FUN and alot less based on who can spend the most time trying to get the OD activations 100% perfect cause you only have 1 day on each song and it is TOTAL score on all 6 so if u suck at 1 or 2 you still have a chance to win.

I think this would be alot more fun and challenging let me know what you think Peeps.
