Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benetar

The top score attainable on this song according to that site is 208980, and I got 224 more than that. There's an extra 200 on the last activation that isn't shown on slowhero. Even then, I'm still 28 points behind the 1st place score. It's not even hard to get 209,2xx. Slowhero is bad at estimating "tick bursts" which is a burst of "ticks" at the end of a sustain. "Ticks" are the points you get from holding sustains. If you hit a sustain late in the Guitar Hero 3 engine, to make up for potential lost points, it gives you a burst of points at the very end of the sustain. You are able to fit those points under star power. It is common that a path in GH3 uses a tick burst squeeze to get an extra few points. It makes an otherwise easy activation, that might not even be a squeeze, into a more challenging squeeze. fun.
