fireking550 · 06-26-2009, 09:36 PM

3 Things:
1. What part are you talking about for vocalists?
2. How does a tournament work on here?
3. Is Anyone else getting random redirected to car ads -.-

**dragonmegaXX** · 06-26-2009, 09:51 PM

Ive got the wii rockband.
Tis my sisters, but ill give it a shot.
In for guitar.

**tha Guardians** · 06-26-2009, 09:55 PM

Sign me up for Guitar and Bass.

Question 1: Is Breakneck speed allowed?
Question 2: Is overdrive allowed?

**ichliebekase** · 06-26-2009, 10:00 PM

Put me in for vocals [I have both RB1 and RB2 for xbox 360] and bass please :]
And I'd love a lot of the questions answered, especially about overdrive. And I have no xbox live so I can't buy the songs on there, so I'm assuming all of those songs won't be allowed either.

AC1speakerbox · 06-26-2009, 10:13 PM

Overdrive and breakneck speed are fine.

@ fireking: Vocalists especially need to see the second paragraph in General Info

**tha Guardians** · 06-26-2009, 10:31 PM

I request overdrive is not allowed.
Overdrive/star power is allowed in all RB/GH tournaments.

I think it's more of FFR tradition to have technical scoring. The scoring would be more skill-based if you didn't allow overdrive. Anyone with a brain is just going to look up the path anyway.

Tokzic · 06-26-2009, 10:32 PM

Obvious questions incoming:

How is song selection going to work? Are you going to pick a song and have everyone play it, or is everyone allowed to pick their own song for each difficulty?

How is scoring going to work, especially if we're not all playing the same song?

I don't see the problem, but I was requesting no overdrive for guitar and bass.

Why would it be retarded?
Not everyone will be able to FC the easy songs. Maybe you'll have to have a tiebreaker a round or two. This happens in FFR with AAAs.

I'm sure I'm just not thinking though.

Because when you have Overdrive ready on drums, fill sections come extremely often. Every four bars, often every two bars. If we save overdrive throughout the whole thing, we'll probably only be playing 75% of the song.

Besides, fill bars usually go over the actual song's fills. This means the more challenging parts of the songs will be skipped over, and especially in easy songs, this will lead to a huge increase in FCs.

It'd be ridiculous. Maybe on the other instruments it's fine, but definitely not drums.

Yeah, I didn't think about that.
I don't play RB drums.

I still request no overdrive for guitar and bass.

fireking550 · 06-26-2009, 11:01 PM

Tokzic, i am pretty sure that you can't turn overdrive off on your own, it might be a cheat though but without the cheat you can't. And about using it in general, i think it should be allowed, it might cut down on the technical skill but it still is part of the original game and should be accounted for, if you can't coordinate overdrive correctly its just the same as missing notes so i say allow it away.

**MrMagic5239** · 06-26-2009, 11:02 PM

I think everyone should post if they DLC in their post's, just to clarify if it can be used or not.

If one person in any division doesn't have it then that division can't use DLC, obviously

Yeah, this. It's not like Overdrive is unfair, it's an element of the game and should be used.

I'd love to use DLC, but the problem is that nobody is going to have the same DLC. I have about 10, 15% of the DLC. And if we're all going on the same song (which we still need to know about), this will make it a nightmare to coordinate. "Does everyone have the SOAD content? No? Okay, does everyone have the Judas Priest album? Jane's Addiction? QOTSA?"

More trouble than it's worth.

**tha Guardians** · 06-26-2009, 11:12 PM

Like I said though, all tournaments include overdrive/star power. I just think it would be unique to skip that asset of the game. There's nothing that can really boost your score on FFR like that, so I think it would feel more like an FFR tournament.

It's probably more trouble than it's worth, though.

AC1speakerbox · 06-26-2009, 11:32 PM

IMO, we don't need to strive to be more like the ffr tournaments.
This tournament is a novelty, so I think we should rather keep all of the gameplay elements in Rock Band unaltered.

**tha Guardians** · 06-26-2009, 11:43 PM

I lose.
Still gonna enjoy the tournament though.
When does this thing start up?

AC1speakerbox · 06-27-2009, 12:34 AM

Immediately after signups end.
Tourney starts on July 4th

I'm suggesting we do a Rock Band 2 tournament immediately after this one. The RB1 setlist more or less sucks compared to RB2, I'm kind of disappointed by this decision.
