    Yeah same for me, my signature performance basically doesnt change at all. Only change happened when Harmonix changed the formula somehow.

    No! Now it has changed... teen age riot... !"#!"#!

    Does it now just count the total number of points, which is reliant on the amount of notes in the song... GAH! So theres propably no way of me replacing this performance with any other since teen age riot has stupidly large amount of notes(strum) and is easy to play..

    Ive only played couple times... The signature performance still doesnt reflect what I actually play! What on earth is "signature" about it?!!!

    Is there any hope, or do I just get to swear under my breath every time I see his score as my signature performance? ...jerk

    I had a similar situation. A friend of a friend gold star'd "Living On A Prayer" on guitar under my profile, and since I'm a lowly medium player, it instantly became my signature performance. I love the song, but it was his signature performance, not mine.

    Well, here's a ray of hope for you: Now my signature performance is "Gimme Shelter" (my favorite song from RB1). I don't know how, but it is. And it's mine. And I'm very happy.

    I just wish they'd let us pick our own as a profile option.

    Rockbandscores.com is now up, which allows you to check this sort of thing out yourself, per-instrument at least. Just sort by "Rank %-ile", and see which comes top. In your case, it looks like "Break on Through (To the Other Side)" at #10/7226.

    Regretfully, rockbandscores.com doesn't quite get the %-ile maths right either. It regards all 1st places as equivalent 100.0%, as it looks only at the "top" of your ranking position, rather than taking the midpoint. So it thinks my #1/53 on "Coming in from the Cold" is better than my #20/20,779 on "Bohemian Rhapsody". Doesn't make sense - I'm one-in-a-thousand on the latter. But it's roughly right as long as you're not comparing songs with wildly different numbers of players.

    It does the simple math, not the complex valuations.

    It doesn't need to do anything complex. For that case, just calculate (53-0.5)/53=99.1% and (20779-19.5)/20779=99.9%, rather than (53-0)/53=100.0% and (20779-19)/20779=99.9%. And then there'd be a little more work needed to get tied scores right.

    Mine has held steady with "Real Wild Child" for a few weeks now. Still not really sure why that's any more "signature" than "PDA" or "Killing Loneliness" or "The Killing Moon" But I like the song just fine.

    Lasso was one of the first songs I aced and has remained my Signature Performance since, except its not my highest scorer. Im No. 5 (or was yesterday) for Moonage Daydream. I find Lasso far too easy actually.

    I just don't get the point of it all...

    According to the numbers from rockbandscores.com:

    Song Rank Rank %-ile Score Level Stars Best % points
    I'm So Sick 33rd / 4,991 99.4 113,664 X 6.34 116,252 97.8
    The Con 153rd / 13,416 98.9 134,000 X 6.26 142,020 94.4

    The Con has replaced I'm so sick as my sig performance. And, while I like them both, I'm prouder of my I'm so sick, which was my prev sig performance (and I must say that The Con didn't show GS 'till yesterday, just 5S even though I had FC/GS'ed it days ago :confused:)

    I just don't get it... just because of one tier gap? why not let us choose whatever performance we're proudest of? (for instance, though lots easier, I might prefer my GS in We belong in expert bass, an instrument I don't master -well, I don't prefer it as my sig perf, but almost... taking into account the effort it took (me)- ;))

    Edited to make the last paragraph easier to understand. It somehow didn't get to the point...

    I don't get how my signature performance changed from:

    "Hey You", a tier 4 on drums, with 99% and 136,770 points(99% 662,389 points as a band) I also had a much higher ranking on this song so that's not the biggest factor either.
    to
    "Mary Had A Little Lamb" a tier 2 with 99% 151,680 points(this was played solo so same band score).

    It can't be just a points thing because songs that have more points(like Heard It Through The Grapevine) would replace that one then, right?

    Looking at newer, longer songs since this change occurred the two new Phish songs Have more points, a higher tier, AND a better ranking than Mary Had A Little Lamb and yet they aren't a new signature performance for me. (Mary Had A Little Lamb was played a while ago.)

    To go along with mastegas post why not rename it to Proudest Performance or something and let us choose.
