quote FusionThanks, Fkital, I appreciate it.
Anyway, back on-topic folks. Does anyone here besides me do worse in Score Duel/Tug of War than they would playing single player? I do, it seems the board goes so much slower.
I just seem to do bad at Tug of War no matter how good I play. Somehow they always win >_>.
Tug of War is broken IMO. They need to make it where both sides get the same amount of notes.

quote chaosmonkixI believe when they quit, it still counts it as a win. Because I've ranked up in Score Duel when the people quit.yeah that does suck. i hate going through tug of war and you lose with a higher hit percentage or them quitting half way through.

I'm not entirely sure on that. I think it may count as help with ranking up, but not with achievements. I had 5 people quit on me in a row when I was going for my win 5 score duel matches in a row, and I didn't get it until I played through all 5 songs and won them. Likewise, I also quit when I was losing and still managed to keep my streak.

In my opinion, no one should ever quit on any score duel or tug of war game, no matter what song, or how bad you're losing. I've had people quit right when Say It Ain't So starts and I've had people stay during Green Grass and High Tides. I've had people quit when they barely lost the lead and I've had people stay when I'm more than tripling their score.

I was playing Tug of War, and had the bar at my circle, then after the Big Rock Ending it was a tie. =|

Really? I am about to try and get my ToW 5-in-a-row achievement. That will help me a lot if I get the bad part of the song.

Yeah, you can quit if you are losing.
Those are the few times I quit in this game, when I was going for the achievement or if I just can't stand the song.

I still think if you're losing that you shouldn't quit. Now if there's a song that you're unphysically capable of playing (Thrasher for some, Run To The Hills for some, etc.), then I think it's acceptable to sit and allow the other player to play through the song, because in my opinion quitting isn't beneficial in any way other than you have a chance of getting into another game faster (and if you end up playing the guy you just quit on, have fun getting yelled at... I would be pretty pissed if someone quit on me just to waste my time, wouldn't you?).

quote VadarHeh, That song was a pain on our run. My hands began to cramp after nailing the entire GRORGRORGRORGRORG etc. part. I ended up nearly failing out when my BASSIST failed out on me and I brought him back. I then died because I was going to use that overdrive for the rest of the second one above. Then somehow. SOMEHOW, he got me back in and he failed once more. D: Always fun to have your bassist suck.Woo! Finally beat the endless setlist on expert this weekend

I'm going to make sure my friend and I do it over the weekend or possibly during Summer. I don't know when we'll do it, but damn it we will!
Adam; Yeah, I only quit when I was going for the achievement when I was losing. Now, if I'm losing, I think it's an honor to go against someone who is so good.
...Unless, we're playing easy songs, which I suck at.
If they managed to beat me at anything tier 8+, then they have my respect.

Ah.
My friend sucks at everything on Rock Band. He plays Exp Guitar though, but he fails alot.
The only song I fail on is Thrasher. Supa-fast strumming is my Achilles Heel.

Yeah, my friend plays Expert Bass. He's ok, we manage to pass songs, and gold star some and 5 star even more. I think the only song we can't 5 star that he has is "Run to the Hills".
Thrasher is my only 4 star in my setlist, and I've gold-starred everything besides DLC, and I've gold-starred most of my DLC. It's very irritating.
