    What's your Powerup loadout?

    Have you stumbled upon a go-to Powerup combo that seems to work best for you? DO TELL!

    It's not very interesting, but Bandmate-Blast Notes-Super Guitar seems to hit the sweet spot for me. Bandmate assists in my obsession with maxing out all the tracks before checkpoints, Blast Notes are a simple yet effective way to get over the hump into Blitz Mode, and Super Guitar is super.

    Howz about you guyz??

    That mine as well. Sometimes Ill switch to a different super depending on the song but for most of the songs its Super Guitar. I was using Bottle Rocket/Blast Notes/Super Guitar for awhile but went back to Badmate.

    I mainly use Jackpot + Blast Notes + Super *insert instrument here*

    I dabble in Fire Notes a bit, though.

    depends on the song, usually go with bandmate/blast/ random instrument
    but some songs give you only little time to max out all the stuff so i use bottle rockets on those.

    I find that bandmate + blast notes is actually a bad combination, because the bandmate will hit the blast notes and destroy notes that I was going to hit, making me break my Blitz streak. It sounds boring, but blast notes + bottle rocket is my go-to combo if I'm having trouble gold starring a song. If you can hit a unison phrase of overdrive with an explosion, you get a HUGE amount of energy, leading to more explosions, ad nauseam. Plus blowing holes in the tracks makes it easy to switch without losing your streak.

    Jackpot + Flame Notes + Super X.

    I'm currently number 1 on 7 of the Blitz songs with that loadout, so I imagine I must be doing something right. Also got Gold Stars on all Blitz songs by using that one, so I guess it's fine. It gives you something like 4500 points for hitting a Flame Note while in Jackpot, so if you streak a few of these together, yeah, well...

    If you want to see the full potential of it, try it out with Super Vocals on Song of the Century by Green Day.

    yeah, with bandmate + blast you gotta keep on eye on the track with bandmate as well and know when to stop for a second

    also, bandmate will hit the pinball if you have both on at the same time

    I'll have to try that. I'm not great with using the Jackpot though....
