Jordan

Mikhail Gorbachev · 10-25-2007, 05:33 PM

Has anyone here managed to beat this song? (and how did you manage to beat it? Did you use a bucket?)
If not, just post about your failure.
It's currently the last unbeaten song on my setlist, and I haven't beaten it after months of playing the game.
I do fine on the main riff and stuff; usually getting to the guitar break in the green with full star power. I end up using my Star Power near the beginning of Solo B; only to fail miserably as it runs out in the middle of Solo C. I've never gotten farther than 56%.

I happen to have a KFC bucket laying around somewhere. I'd try to beat it with the bucket this weekend, but my oldest brother has my copy and I'll be too busy crying over Through the Fire and Flames.

**Prince Toad** · 10-25-2007, 08:33 PM

I've never gotten farther than 41%, although I haven't tried it much. (I don't own it myself.) I haven't beaten every other bonus song just because we didn't buy them all, but I've beaten all the ones on the normal setlist... if I can get past Free Bird, Misirlou, and Psychobilly Freakout, I imagine I could handle any of the others.

**L007 is Undecided** · 10-25-2007, 08:50 PM

... Bucket?

Mikhail Gorbachev · 10-25-2007, 08:55 PM

^^The bonus song 'Six' is also harder than anything in the main setlist, though it's still nothing compared to Jordan.
^Remember the loading message for Jordan?

i have beat jordan.. ill get a video of me playing it if u want

***Ace Mercury*** · 10-26-2007, 12:27 PM

Jordan totally kicks my ass. I can struggle into the second part of the solo (~46%? ~54%?) but it... just doesn't get any easier. I've managed to at least pass every other song on Expert, but for Jordan. It's a weird combination of trills and scales, and my fingers are not fast enough. Hard mode is a joke, though, compared to Expert, so that doesn't help with practice.

I tried using Star Power to get past the solo but... it's too long =\ I had to rely on this cheesy tactic in Because It's Midnite (the GH 80's release).

**Prince Toad** · 10-26-2007, 04:23 PM

^How is that a cheesy tactic? That's how I survive on any insane solo. (Granted, my time with the game was limited. Maybe I won't need it after I get it for myself.)

***Ace Mercury*** · 10-26-2007, 08:56 PM

Well, it's cheesy in that I don't even try to nail the solo. It's just Star Power and wailing on the strum bar. =/

Ike · 10-26-2007, 09:16 PM

^It's not completely cheesy. Your meter still goes down if you don't hit enough notes.

Jordan scares me. I've only attempted it about 2 times. I'm pretty sure it didn't end too well.

***Ace Mercury*** · 10-26-2007, 09:32 PM

Ooh, I got an extra percent farther today. 55%. I deserve a victory cookie.

Vii · 10-28-2007, 07:49 PM

got 98% on jordan one time, i wonder if you get anything special for 100%ing it.......through the fire in the flames is one hard bitch.....its jordan on crack.

We'll find out when HellAshes 100%s it, won't we? Because he's getting pretty close to 100%... Jordan is probably the hardest thing to 100% in GH2 besides Trogdor on co-op.

Vii · 10-28-2007, 08:09 PM

yeah i got 90% on through the fire....5*d it too...but damn it was hard lol

**L007 is Undecided** · 10-29-2007, 12:09 PM

Okay, so I finally decided to do Jordan. Good God, three stars on Hard? And I'm going through Expert in Career?

**Wyborn** · 10-29-2007, 12:27 PM

I don't have GH2 so I won't get to experience this. Or Freebird.

I hope Through the Fire and the Flames is hard enough to make up for that shortcoming in my Guitar Hero career.

***Ace Mercury*** · 10-29-2007, 12:33 PM

GH1 is like a different beast; now that I replay it, I can't use the HO/PO techniques I've learned in GH2. Like, Cowboys from Hell's opening section should be a piece of cake with the more relaxed HO/PO rules of GH2, but I don't have the fingerings for the GH1 one. The key is that in GH2, you can let up on the frets before HO/POing the next note; I take advantage of this to slide my index finger from green to red for a hammer-on.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 10-29-2007, 01:56 PM

I remember CFH was impossible for me before I played GHII, but after I played it it was no challenge all. I can't keep a combo on CFH, but it's really easy to pass now.
I find pretty much all of GHI easy to pass; with the exception of 'Tripolette,' a bonus song that wasn't made unlockable, but is still accessible with an Action Replay. It's like a combination of Jordan Solo A, with a bunch of ridiculously difficult and fast chords everywhere. I haven't been able to play it since I don't have an AR.

Lou · 10-29-2007, 03:11 PM

Wow, This is an Extremely Hard song.
I think I've 56%'d it.
At some point, as my Best.
It's obviously, rock hard though.

I passed Six with...
87% I think...
Somewhere around there,
With a Terrible score!

But, Good Luck to Anyone who's passing it!!!
