There's no reason to believe a cheat would isolate his cheating to one song.

    On the other hand, one outlying high score might just be the result of one ridiculously lucky run. I can speak for myself - I've had one SuperGS run on Stronger that is ridiculously out of line with the rest of my scores. I didn't cheat - I just had an insane streak of successful pinball tracking that I very likely will never duplicate.
    I really hope a culture of pinball tracking (centered around ignoring the notes to keep the pinball active) doesn't develop

    I don't think I'll ever master using jackpot and flame notes together. I break my streak so much trying this combo, just trying to get that flame note 2 tracks over, and in the end f**king up the jackpot. >:U

    This thread reminds me of the days when I would be called a "botter" in UT '99 since I could headshot from across the map. (which, funny enough, wasn't even that elite of a skill compared to the pros of the game) Those were good times.

    I'm just happy to get a top 10 in this game. Kudos to you guys who can get high scores with pinball/jackpot/flame. That's good stuff.
    5+ years, 4,000+ songs, 1 awesome developer. Thank you!

    Nice job. But that's sad that you stopped, it's so fun, and you learn the thing for real! :|

    I tend to get decently high scores with blast notes and rockets. I've even came close a few times to taking the #1 spot on songs

    this actually got me thinking.
    since you can use 2 controllers at the same time. what if some people out there use pinball, and 1 guy follows the pinball while the other just concentrates on the notes?
    my love is like a candle, if you forget me, i will burn your damn house down.

    This reminds me that actually putting my shoulder into learning Pro Keys in RB3 is pretty close to the top of things I want to do before I die. The problem was that I had so much content to play through on all the instruments and was so addicted to Pro Drums that I just didn't have the time unless I completely stopped playing other games. I actually bought a Squier too, but sadly realized I just wouldn't have the dedication to be able to put it to good use, so I returned it so a more rightful owner could have it. I've since picked up a cheap Mustang and have enjoyed messing with it once in a while, but I can't even play it competently on Medium.

    And now Blitz has completely sunk its hooks into me, so it seems unlikely that I'll be able to get around to Pro instruments anytime soon...but I suppose that's a good problem to have. At least I know as long as I have a working PS3, I'll never be bored again.

    Well, I've gotten around pro bass around one month ago, I've managed to get 6 GS as for now, I have never touched strings in my life. As for pro keys, it's even easier to learn, if you want an advice, especially for pro keys: Find a hard song (impossible tier if possible) that you truly want to learn, and either do the trainer on expert, or expert + no-fail over and over, and you'll get it no time, then it's really easier to learn the other stuff, depending on the song you choose to learn, of course. I find it easier to learn this way because on the lower difficulty the finger placement isn't the real one, it gets confusing when you try to play on harder difficulties. As for pro bass, well, I'm still struggling myself even trying that, I can manage to do relatively good on songs that aren't so hard, and strangely, I've managed to 5 star Crazy Train, while I barely 3 starred Walking on the Sun, so I have no idea what the tier means, or if I'm just weird.

    Hah, I need to try that eventually. Just for the hell of it.

    If that is actually possible I think you might have found a way to completely break the game
