    For me, the fretting is the part that tires me out, not the strumming. Constantly going from one to two to three frets is too taxing. It wouldn't be so bad if the three-note chords weren't there.

    As much as I hate playing Visions, I think I'd feel incomplete if I deleted it from a future export. I just hope there's a skip-a-song feature outside of tour mode for when it eventually does show up in a random setlist.

    This.

    Though in TBRB you can change your difficulty mid-setlist, I think you can with LRB too.

    I've never looked for the feature, but I don't think you can change the difficulty in Lego.

    I can't complain about the KFF chart because it seems "accurate," but I can complain about the number of songs in L:RB that are arduous simply because they repeatedly throw the same thing at you over and over again until you get tired and bomb. It seems like the top tiered songs are rife with stuff that is hard but not at all fun/interesting to play.

    Also, it seems like HMX charted a ton of 3-note chords in the Lego songs as a method of crowbarring those songs into higher tiers when they would be quite easy to play if they were filled with one- or two-note chords.

    I'm not typically going to complain about difficulty, but the charting on quite a few of the songs just doesn't feel the same as other RB games... which was the same reaction I had to GH3 in comparison to the older GH games. It's not a feeling I particularly like...

    And yes, that is a very subjective analysis... so maybe I'm wrong.

    If there's a three note chord in RB...it's because that's what was likely played. HMX hasn't been in the habit of overcharting.

    I consider myself pretty damn good at alt-strumming, but I'll definitely admit that Kung-Fu Fighting is one of the hardest songs to figure out how to play properly.

    I have no problem holding my combo downstrumming, but I don't have the stamina to keep doing that for the entire song. As soon as I switch to alt-strum, it just goes into the toilet.

    This is one of those rare cases where I love the song, but hate playing it!

    The song is also possible down-strumming all the way too, I got gold stars that way.
