DJ Hero - Groundhog 100% FC (Expert)

[@IKARUS-RG]

Thank you all for helping this video reach 500,000 views. It means a lot to me that one of my greatest video game accomplishments has been seen by so many people around the world. Thanks for all of your feedback, your comments, your appreciation, and your love. I'm so happy this video has reached such a huge milestone (it's huge for me, anyway).

[@FerreTrip]

(21 minutes ago? You ARE alive! * shot *) Not a bleeping problem, man. This is amazing, and it's a great accomplishment in gaming history. SOOOO much practice and memorization here @_@ I'm sure Red Octane would be proud if they were still around.

[@IKARUS-RG]

FerreTrip Haha yes, I am still around...and I do stay up to date with DJ Hero despite not playing it anymore. I'm glad you enjoy the video so much, and I'm happy you can respect the amount of work and practice that went into doing it. Even 2 - 3 years later, I still very much appreciate the attention it gets. Thank you!

[@quenzmo]

would you say this is still the hardest song in you opinion

[@IKARUS-RG]

I still think Beats & Pieces is harder only for the ending. But this certainly comes close.

[@Gamecraft633]

This video made me go out and buy then game. I can do about 70% of this song. Great accomplishment. The end with the spikes looks so easy on video but it is really hard when acutely playing!

[@Setup1337]

I have to concede, that was impressive. Very.

[@insanitysreign6195]

Crumbs

[@eljuniorcen2675]

Very impressive.

[@cdtv3602]

408 strikes! not bad but lets face it, *that was easy!*

[@SoulTheScytheOG]

I hate how people that have never played DJ Hero think this is easy from the looks of it

[@aa7146]

k

[@angryredsquirrelyoufreakin1496]

SoulTheScytheOG Thank you!

[@uberfighter962]

SoulTheScytheOG in my opinion this looks harder than rock band

[@sigmain2195]

Snoopi They probably only watched the first part of the song, which is pretty easy compared to the insane end.

[@breadmilkYT]

Snoopi lol when I first watched this (when I didn't have dj hero) I thought wow this is so easy. When I got dj hero and watched this again...wow I'll never be able to do that for as long as I live he is god

[@ChaosMieter]

I love thinking of this as like an underground old school dj going against some sort of DJing spirit, battling it out for their lives, with the spirit being overconfident to just about the end, but when the undergrounder is nearing the end, he gets a clue, 'have I really met my match?!"

[@stephenmanuel9860]

A goofy semi-serious story mode similar to what Neversoft did with Warriors of Rock would have been amazing here.

[@ThatOneDumbGuyy]

Ive always had a love for games like that, where it makes you feel like you're fighting the game itself and the game doesn't like how good you are.

[@IKARUS-RG]

Groundhog > Galvanize to 100% because: - Engine is less forgiving - More complex, scattered patterns in Groundhog - Lots and lots and lots of taps that the game isn't designed for Galvanize > Groundhog to play in general because: - Groundhog builds up to its difficulty while Galvanize remains consistent - Galvanize tests you during the song whereas Groundhog starts to test you near the end - More notes to hit as well (a minor thing)

[@IKARUS-RG]

The turntable and the game engine have a hard time dealing with long strings of taps. The timing for the taps is quite strict and the turntables sometimes don't respond when you're mashing one of the buttons.

[@MiniMuni69]

kristoph212 Hyd?

[@UnderaRockGaming]

So either you are just faking or somehow you have the slider on auto? Cause at 3:36 you are not moving that slider bruh. What gives?

[@rockclan7]

This song blew my mind when I was 13 and it still does after more than 10 years

[@MisterSnowman97]

What amazes me is you did it on your lap

[@TheCUTTERbyPHOENIX]

Wasn't the most insane dj hero video out in the wild, for jsut doing this on his lap ? man i kneel before gamer like him !

[@littlebigcomrade]

This game is tougher than guitar hero in a different way. The variety of tasks you are forced to do is much more difficult than guitar hero. Also, it is much more dynamic in the sense of motion towards the player.

[@iTsTRADAM]

Even in 2023, this song is still INSANE! You killed it, enjoyed every second of this🔥

[@DexterKD]

That was a well deserved "woohoo" I tried this song on medium and couldn't FC it lol

[@krykun7457]

“Have I really met my match” “YES”

[@tritonemedia]

I was a dev on this game. Came across your vid when somebody asked for a reference. Never saw anybody in the studio, including the QA team ever hit what you did. We made that to be stupid hard. Anyway we mostly got paid shit and they tried to stiff us when the studio collapsed in 2015. We all got about £4k as a settlement. Bullshit.

[@Taxss]

That’s crazy, I just rediscovered the game after finding an unopened dj hero renegade edition.

[@IKARUS-RG]

That is unbelievable, I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you know that your team made one hell of a game, it changed my life!!

[@funkadunk7674]

Yoo this guy teaches me networks and communications on god

[@colobopsi]

vouch for that

[@larezistance3492]

you and maxninja were my heroes back in high school when i was a dj hero. im sad i gave up. thank you for the fond memories!

[@IKARUS-RG]

Thanks for the kind words man!! You're still a DJ Hero to me ;)

[@footygoodness]

Decks are cheap on eBay, just got an unopened box w/ game for $60

[@davidhunter2824]

I love how the guy taughts you throughout the whole mix!! Awesome gameplay btw!!

[@ReganADHD]

4:18 Voice: Have I really met my match? Kristoph: YES!!

[@kota17345]

[@FullBitGamer]

Still waiting for DJ Hero 3. they released shitty game for both Guitar Hero and Rock Band again, Why can't we get another DJ Hero at the height of EDM's reign in the industry right now

[@darianmattos4055]

That be amazing if edm came out for a new dj hero

Wow, that would be great. I love DJ Hero 1 & 2 and I find it harder than Guitar Hero Live, I can barely play the middle difficulty. :D

[@makmakg242]

FullBitGamer maybe we could have alan walker as dlc in dj hero 3...

[@rct3isepic]

FullBitGamer personally I'd love to see artist DJ hero games like we saw with guitar hero. I would love DJ Hero Daft Punk, DJ hero Skrillex, or DJ hero Tiësto.

[@ziggy_ql]

+Chaf Cancel what are you talking about the creators of dj hero are the same guys who created guitar hero live (I know the thread it's old)

[@IKARUS-RG]

@Rhys Graham Did you actually read the description? It says 100% legitimate. Please read things before ignorantly commenting and demonstrating idiocy. "A legitimate 100% FC of this song on KZbin. Don't listen to bots, cheaters, or fakes."

[@whocares1243]

So, I've been trying to 5 star the game recently, and I thought groundhog would stop me. Nope, actually improved on this song, but then beats and pieces shattered my dream

[@maxninja09]

whocares1243 Keep at it, and listen to the song. If you give it time you will follow the rhythm and pattern of the scratches in the mix, and eventually you can 5* the mix without even using Euphoria. Just get some arm strength though, that chart KILLS your arms afterwards :P

[@whocares1243]

maxninja09 Beats and pieces kills my arm WAAAY more though. Groundhog is not nearly as bad. But to be fair, Going from 3 stars to 5 on expert is a really nice improvement

[@maxninja09]

whocares1243 It definitely is :)

[@austinlee629]

whocares1243 me too but i did 5 star groundhog

[@kgedgeyo5839]

I’ve been holding of commenting on this till my DJ Hero came in the mail and today it arrived, making my way through the game on medium at the moment and having a blast. I appreciated this before but now after playing the game and having more of an understanding how it feels and reacts I truely know this is *insane* you truely are the Dj Hero Sir

[@crazyboypabk17]

this dude has the focus of a jedi

[@juniorfernandez7412]

Yeah he is so good

[@hovigdersarkissian9341]

It's been 12 years, and I still return to this video whenever I wanna remember how hard this game got :D

[@sailingwhisper149]

that "yes!" at the end really made the video, haha. nice job mate!

[@zein6429]

dude i vividly remember watching this religiously when i was 14, Im 21 now lmaoo

[@IKARUS-RG]

That's so good!! Welcome back XD

[@chrispham6599]

People's perception of "using cheats" is a little misconstrued. Using cheats are for lazy people who wants to pass games with minimal to no effort. What this guy was doing is far from it. I'm an avid DJHero player and there is nothing I've seen that shouldn't be in that video. If he was using cheats, then he wouldn't need to bother with actually playing properly. In fact, he wouldn't be posting this video if he was. Know the game-play and the mechanics before you comment. To the people who are saying otherwise: You all are trolling or REALLY ignorant. 

[@chrispham6599]

Omar Beydoun eh, you play it and see if you can do better. Upload it and show it to us. Then we'll see who's ignorant

[@igiuLoiraM]

@Connor G Even though he used Euforia, he still had to press the buttons himself. The only thing Euforia does (except from giving you extra points) is controlling the crossfader, not the buttons.

[@technospyform1578]

That's another reason why DJ Hero is harder. In DJ Hero the powerups automate or help you fix something. In Guitar Hero they just double your multiplier.

[@lordfarquaad4174]

This comment alone is ignorant considering many people have tried uploading fake runs, all the time as a matter of fact. But obviously this one is legit but just saying you can’t generalize like that

[@erichartmanjr]

DJ Hero isn't unpopular because it's hard, it's unpopular because it's fucking impossible. GG man, you're a hell of a trooper.

[@Code_Null]

just by looking at the two games, i have to say dj hero is tougher, while yes, guitar hero tends to have more complex patterns due to it having 5 possible notes at once, dj hero has you doing constant stuff no matter what your doing, there's no breaks which could easily weaken your hands, thats basically what groundhog tests, how much can you handle before breaking down? personally i havent tried it (i hope clone hero 2 has a dj hero mode so i could try it out) but by the looks of it, dj hero is tougher then guitar hero due to how much it requires from you. but guitar hero is tougher then dj hero due to it having more notes, so their both evenly matched guys

[@johnvelasco953]

I agree with you

[@footygoodness]

The fact that you hit the last spike section, with how unforgiving the hardware is. I literally shouted "NO F*CKING WAY"

[@IKARUS-RG]

It's so unforgiving lmao. I was so nervous going into that

[@wooooby]

I smiled because when the cross fades and scratches came in, my arms instinctively started to play with an invisible controller.

[@Mentoris_]

the GOAT! And I came here just 9 years ago wow

[@BeebopChickenpock]

Bro the fact it took me like 15 mins to figure out how to double slide forward getting to finnish this song is mad... watching you do that even though it was poorly calibrated to begin with sends me under 😂

[@spooks5072]

did you know the announcer is the same one as the one in stanly the parable?

[@maxninja09]

Really? They might just sound the same :P

[@simonlol3768]

it sounds ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the narrator at stanley parable.

***** Thanks!

[@IKARUS-RG]

Ian Hearn Yeah, probably. The bundles should also still be sold online.

[@metalman20]

You know, i could kind of see why people would think this song was easy if you just watched the first like 30 or so seconds. but that second half, specially that last 60-90 seconds like my god. that was ridiculously awesome!!!!

[@ikko2549]

"So you want to be a DJ?" "It's going to take an awful lot of practice..." "Are you ready?" "Well let's find out, shall we?" "Not bad, but let's face it...that was easy." "Why don't we take this to the next level?" "Come on, let's go." "I have to concede, that was impressive!" "I think it's time I introduced you to a friend of mine..." "...let's call it: Feedback." "Shall we see how clever you really are..." "...it's time to sort out the men...from the boys." "Wow..." "Watch out!" "Wow..." "CRUMBS" "Wow..." "Watch out!" "Wow..." "This is no time to kotch!" "OH MY GOODNESS." "Brrrrap!" "Cripes!" "Brrrrap!" "Well it looks like were coming to the end..." "...so far so good..." "...but do you REALLY think you have what it takes to compete, with the mighty Scratch Perverts?" "This could be a step, too far." "llll-WANK!" "You should quit..." "COME ON, QUIT!" "Sorry, am I putting you off?" "Don't fall apart now..." "OUH, that's FAST!" "There's really no point..." "...I warned you..." "Have I really met my match?"

[@JayHippy007]

11yrs later and I probably still can’t do this 😂

[@dec13666]

I love both Gh and DJ hero. And let me tell ya sir: This was quite impressive. Good job man!

[@LinktheChicken]

i like that u put the subtitles lmao

[@mythbustersfan3456]

ignore what other people about this video and thinking that some people say it's fake, but i believe you and your amazing at DJ Hero! Don't let people say otherwise or criticize you, just do what you can. That's the main thing! ;)

Teacher: ok class let take a test there are four parts. The test.

[@vertex1933]

That was very impressive dude. Props, man, I got about 99% of it one time but I missed ONE red "note". I was trying to do everything towards the end and I got thrown off and I only missed one. ONE. >:( I actually got so upset I didn't play the game for about 2 months.

[@IKARUS-RG]

Impressive. Are you on 360 or PS3 anywhere on the leaderboards?

[@vertex1933]

***** Nah, I played online. I haven't played much since like, January in 2014, but I've never really played online.

[@IKARUS-RG]

Ah yeah. Very underrated game...wish more people had played it.

[@vertex1933]

***** I had both but I liked the first one better. Just better songs to me I guess. After a while, even on Expert, this game gets easier with practice. It's not like Guitar Hero where you need to spend a whole month learning to perfect a song. In this game, they don't make it TOO hard, but it is still very challenging. That's why I stopped playing GH for DJ Hero.

[@IKARUS-RG]

I actually agree with that. I had a much easier time learning DJ Hero. I can still play most of the harder songs on Expert on GH but I'm not as good at them.

[@ErroTheCube]

I got just as excited as you when you FC'd and it's the first time I've seen this game being played

[@Jeremy-vb2hc]

2012-2018 still gain more views I'm still impress more like I watch this at 2014

[@IKARUS-RG]

My personal favourite out of all my videos. Thanks for watching!

[@THEATOMBOMB035]

around the final stretch of the song I was on the floor bowing, you sir quite frankly blew my mind you are (like the guy said) among the mighty "Scratch Perverts"

[@HarmonicaMustang]

Amazing game, but I prefer the real deal ;)

[@IKARUS-RG]

And you're not a douchebag about it! Thank you!

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

Perfectly fine. Really, this game is more of a gateway to get people interested in learning how to be a DJ. Although, in my opinion, the way DJ Hero 2 mixes its songs really sells the illusion of you being a real DJ.

[@travispick5160]

Haha that was sick, nicely done. Brought back some awesome memories, I 5 starred everything on expert and then sold the game. Makes me want to pick this up again.

[@orangesoda8985]

I loled at that homer simpson "woohoo!"

[@nickbrookes6285]

Im a massive DJ Hero fan and that was incredible!!! Groundhog made my arms and shoulders burn on Hard, not quite got to expert yet but that was really impressive. Well done dude

[@DaveDiederen]

Like a Fucking Boss!!!!!!

[@VVeZoX]

I wasn't sure as I have never attempted either song on expert. I know you know what you're talking about as you're one of the best DJ Hero players ever. Thank you for your detailed input and being nice about it all.

[@Lakilesterr]

Imagine being his gif and having no idea his hand game is beyond legandary

[@CyanCrayonGH]

I just finished FCing the three songs in Scratching The Surface. It will be a very long journey, but I hope one day I can get to the insane level of this beast of a song. This is truly the TTFAF of DJ Hero.

Soooooo you wanna be a DJ?

[@picupwns98]

I always find myself coming back to this video and just staring at it for awhile. It's so cool to see this get pulled off.

[@IKARUS-RG]

Thanks, dude! I'm the same sometimes, haha. Really appreciate that you keep watching it!

So this is the hardest stage in DJ Hero? Looks like nothing compared to stages in Japanese rhythmgames like Beatmania

[@IKARUS-RG]

Most likely because it's not a Japanese rhythm game, lmao.

[@MYNAMACHEF]

let's play find the weeb

[@Spoden]

I found it :^)

Well, let me tell you i wasn't intended to be cocky at all. I was just suprised about it, nothing more than that.

[@IKARUS-RG]

Both games are definitely tough in their own right, haha. Beatmania way more so. Doesn't mean this was easy though!! Took me the better part of 2 hours...

[@DalekGamma]

Awesome. I was one of the testers on that game at FreeStyleGames and couldn't do that. In fact I don't think anyone here did!!!

[@stephenmanuel9860]

[@vanners6145]

Hmmmm in your opinion kris. Which is harder Galvanize or Groundhog

[@IKARUS-RG]

Kr1st0ph_212 is my PSN. And I definitely believe Groundhog is harder.

[@mendozamendezleonardo9320]

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Groundhog in his time, but being able to listen to it and reproduce it in rhythm games like Melobeat, is so fascinating and complicated. Respect!

"Yess!! Woohoo!" Really? I would have fucking tossed my controller half way across the room and immediately busted out the bubbly. Insane.

[@iarexayne]

I finally understand why each section repeats the way it does and I'm mad it took this long to understand it. The track is a conversation between you the player, and the scratch perverts. The first time through each section is them, and the second is you.

[@IKARUS-RG]

Sure is, and they kicked my ass for a while with this one

[@MrPacman64]

dude you were not exited enough, I couldn't dream of doing that, and I DJ, the button mash on blue, couldn't do that, that would end me, amazing job (particularly on the blue.)

Now that I've played and experienced this game I now understand the complexity of it and how hard it would have been for you to play this and not miss a single note.

[@IKARUS-RG]

Haha, thank you. Definitely took some time to get right. Probably not as hard as some of the stuff you see on Guitar Hero but still pretty difficult.
