06 Guitar Hero Tournament

Darkmoogle

While it was mentioned in the Omegathon thread, the point that the learning curve in this game can be vicious was raised. Still, if this game isn't represented in some way at PAX '06, I'll be sorely disappointed.

So, you know, if a crappy game like Halo gets a tournament, I don't see why Guitar Hero can't have one. A big one.

I imagine single elimination, matching up people at random. First 1/4 of rounds are Easy, second 1/4 Medium, etc. etc. Flip a coin each round to figure out who gets to choose the song.

Last round, both players pick a song, plus a third song selected by the judges, winner decided by total points in all three songs.

Extra points awarded by spectators for whoever does the most physical rocking out.

I too will be sad if theres no guitar hero tournament.

and it must be on stage

Absolutely.

The more I think about it, the more I think a seperate contestant should get a prize in the vein of "Most Rockingest Player," to try and coerce more people into rocking out and making bigger fools of themselves while playing.

Today I was playing Spanish Castle Magic with a friend and, during the chorus bit, hit the strumbar with my nose. I'm not badass enough to do it true-to-life Hendrix style, though, especially since playing the guitar with my penis might result in people refusing to play with me anymore.

With your nose... Oh my goodness XD;

I'm not a Guitar Heroes pro, but I still love the game I'd love to see a tournament take place.

I'd be up for it... If I didn't play it on easy mode.

Open multiplayer would be nice though, it';s no fun playing my brother when he has to use the duelshock, even though he almost kicked my ass on Killer Queen.

Ya guitar hero has to be at PAX. I will be driving up from portland so I will have to remember to bring both of my guitars with me.

I am competely willing to orginize this tournt. Although. I have no intention of spending my own money on a prize. So I guess untill someone suggests a prize that's resonable it'll just be for bragging rights. Or perhaps... a BRAND NEW CAR!!! Or not. I'm renting 2 hotel rooms this year so we can hold em there. I'll be the dude in the pre-reg line on the first day. Either driving around before hand with a Red Jeep Wrangler with the Horde symbol painted on the hood and doors. Or I'll actually be in the line holding a sign that says "LFG <KotW>" Find me and we'll go make this shit happen. After we orginize it on here first...
