I ain't afraid of NO GHOSTS ~ Why YARG means MORE than Clone Hero [ANTI GHOST]

[@TheHeroOfMobius]

Those who are introduced to YARG for the first time through this video will be thrown for a loop watching you shred with Black Mesa, Nuketown and Peach's Castle in the background.

[@JasonParadise]

For anyone seeing YARG for the first time, those backgrounds are custom venue files. Yay for open source community projects 🤘

[@matthewhanf3033]

​@JasonParadise Dude, you're killing it. I've always felt you were part of the community, and hopefully more people realize that soon.

[@cyrocya1]

Man, this is crazy, seeing these nutbars charts, and knowing that with anti-ghosting, these are even harder than they look

[@JasonParadise]

There's been some wild community efforts to take down sections on anti-ghost. Reminds me a lot of the old console days in the best kind of way

[@spiritbonnie8887]

I already thought you were a badass before, Jason, seeing you hit some of the stuff on Clone Hero was just insane to me, I can't really even do Hard mode on Clone Hero, let alone Expert, because I can't wrap my head around the hand movements for hitting the fifth note then moving back, it confuses my hands, so seeing you almost effortlessly hit insane charts while also reading and responding to chat and reacting to the meme charts or mash-ups was just out of this world to me. Now you have to literally hit it perfect instead of being able to rely on game mechanics that make it easier to hit those streaks? You're insane dude, keep it up

[@JasonParadise]

Thanks for the kind words! 🤘 If you want to try getting better at hard/expert, here's a quick tip that usually works. Try playing on Medium difficulty but keep your pointer finger on the red fret instead of green. Move your hand back to green only when you need to hit notes there. After you hit any green notes, move your pointer finger back to the red fret. If you can get this consistently, congratulations you can now play hard. Just add your pinky for orange 🙌

[@spiritbonnie8887]

@@JasonParadise Thanks for the tip man, I'll try practicing that once I find the remote plugin for my controller, no clue where it went for now but I'll find it eventually, hopefully it helps. Keep up your good work and happy Halloween! We're all rooting for you here

[@Draggo.]

I tried this out and I quite like it. Honestly felt like my terrible habits with Clone Hero would mean I'd have a lot of trouble adjusting to this, but honestly I'm finding it to be really fun!

[@JasonParadise]

It's so refreshing! You know for a fact when you hit notes that the game wasn't helping. It's purely based on your skill, not abusing the timing window

[@Ganryu666]

I love seeing that more content is happening for this channel again, but I love even more that I'm being introduced to new artists again (or at least new to me) that I've never listened to previously and expanding my music library in the process

[@JasonParadise]

Hell yes. The best part of these games has always been sharing/discovering music while nailing notes 🤘

[@beardalaxy]

@@JasonParadise downloaded some mega pack for clone hero right when i got into it and found polyphia/chon/erra/covet/i built the sky that way. amazing bands. listened to hundreds of hours from each of them by now.

[@Hlkariden]

Hell yeah Jason. I am so proud to hear about your motivation. As a long time fan (around 2016 or so) I've never once doubted your ability however I am glad to see you prove the doubters wrong.

[@MrDrainy]

YARG has been my main music game since v0.11, I stream it to my brothers and friends in discord. I even had a halloween party a couple of days ago where I brought over two guitars and a microphone and we all jammed together. Felt like the early years again 🥺 Thanks for showing YARG all the love Jason, you always kill it with the content!

[@JasonParadise]

Glad you're enjoying YARG as well! Feel like the biggest problem this game has right now is just getting eyes on it. Explaining to folks features like anti-ghost mode is crucial. Casual folks are used to the expectations of notes being hit with ease like in Clone Hero. YARG brings back the feel of the early games but with modern features. Feels damn good 🤘

[@MrDrainy]

@@JasonParadise 100% right, the anti-ghost makes it feel fresh and new again (also helps with new additions) Excited for the future of YARG 🧡

[@topazstarv]

Casual fan, watched your stuff since I think some time in 2018 when a friend posted one of your meme videos. I don't appear on twitch often but I stop by every once in a while, and I'm glad to see you feeling better about yourself and giving yourself the credit you deserve. Rock on, Jason, and thanks for all the laughs and butt clenching moments as I watch you be a master at what you do. :)

[@noitibmar]

Accuracy and Anti-ghosting is something the Plastic Guitar games have been needing for a long time to get away from people just needing black-midi style charts for any difficulty. It adds such a huge dimension to rhythm games to get past just "hit or miss" and I don't know if YARG has it already but I'd love to see accuracy distinctions like "Perfects" and "Early" or "Late" to really help people hone their skills beyond an FC and add that new way to be competitive.

[@beardalaxy]

yeah the western plastic guitar games have been pretty much the only rhythm games i can think of without accuracy judgements. i think even like, parappa the rapper has them lmao.

[@jjbeast00]

i was actually suprised that when i first started up YARG, the game for whatever reason felt so much better than clone hero for me. I am not sure why this is, but its currently the plastic guitar game of choice for me at the moment.

[@JasonParadise]

It feels smooth as hell! It's crazy to know I've messed up before seeing it reflected in game just by the feel alone. That same feeling never happened on Clone Hero. Instead it was the opposite of "How did I hit that? Shouldn't I have missed??" Never get that feeling on YARG.

[@Thesnakerox]

I noticed this too! When talking about it in a 5 Fret community server, someone pointed out that YARG feeling smoother probably has to do with the fact that the polling rate is not tied to the framerate, as demonstrated in that clip of Alec playing at 4 FPS. Whereas if you cap Clone Hero's framerate at, for example, 120 FPS, your polling rate is going to be 120 Hz because CH's polling rate is tied to its framerate.

[@blendernoob64]

I think im preffering Yarg over Clone Hero. Its easier to distinct between tapping notes and normal notes, and the fact it has support for vocals alone makes it more fun than Clone Hero. Online Multiplayer cant come soon enough! Prayers to the devs, they have something special here :)

[@JasonParadise]

I've always been more of a Guitar Hero player than a Rock Band guy, but honestly I agree. The more time I've spent with YARG, the easier it has been to read patterns. Nice to know with the game being open source we'll see more graphic themes in the future too.

[@Thesnakerox]

Meanwhile I've been thinking that it's easier to distinguish between HOPOs and taps on CH, but I'm slowly getting used to it in YARG!

[@Hourglass36]

The main thing I dislike about Yarg is the Rock Band look, I have a way harder time reading patterns and the tap notes barely look any different from HOPOs. New update added round notes, Yarg officially better than CH

[@beardalaxy]

@@Hourglass36 it did fr? that's awesome, pretty much my only complaint. now they just need leaderboards xD

[@xKillZone99]

​@Hourglass36 yarg alright but still not on the level of clone hero

[@lucassantos7474]

I've only played guitar hero on PS2 so anti ghost is just another day in the office, that makes Cult of Personality way more easier than Holiday In Cambodia for instance

[@JasonParadise]

Oh god the memories of attempting to hit the Holiday in Cambodia intro on console. Always loved the Ties That Bind strumming on WoR. Satisfying af to nail

[@VoidstriderLucatiel]

I'm sorry to hear you've been dealing with impostor syndrome. You've always been my favorite Clone Hero genre content creator. Your personality is so vibrant, and magnetic. I hope you start feeling appreciated more soon

[@JasonParadise]

I mean, it makes sense. All those old meme charts getting as much traction as they did, then the mental health issues, the recent separation, etc. That's a lot to deal with, but I don't want to make excuses. Something I've always done is try explaining myself for context. Very ADHD thing. Although my intentions are good, quite a few people will see those explanations as excuses. Hell, even mentioning the YT algorithm thing in this video feels like an excuse now. While true, I feel like I need to keep making better things people want to see. Gotta keep pushing myself as well, it's the way forward. Kick that imposter syndrome to the curb 🤘

[@Woffenhorst]

@@JasonParadise As someone who got their ADHD diagnosis well into their 30's: atta boy! Also, explaining yourself is a coping mechanism we learn from interacting with people whose brains stay much more on track, our logical jumps seem like derailments to them. So explaining *is* helpful for keeping people on the same train as you. Never apologize for who you are, ADHD does not mean you are "defective" as seen in several emergency response professions, where ADHD brains shine, as the situation finally develops at a speed that keeps it engaged. It's a descriptor of properties that are not readily visible like "blue-eyed", "muscular", "fast-running", are, but it *is* just a descriptor, not an error message.

[@princess-kira]

I think a great idea for the future of YARG would be customizable anti-ghosting, like having it enabled for strummed notes, then selective for taps or hammer-ons/pull-offs. I mean, if the sequence is something like at 6:31ish (y,r,y,r,b,r,y,r) you could keep red pressed through the sequence and still have it count because it's a "fret" above. Idk, it's a cool idea for those who want the added challenge.

[@JasonParadise]

Love the idea of more options. The more ways people can play, the more people who can enjoy. That's a giant W 🤘

[@theunhingedgamer3762]

i was actually in stream for most of this and I gotta say this is impressive as someone who occasionally plays RB4 on console lol

[@SleepmodeKNB]

Something I’ve wanted GH/RB style games to do for a while is try out a multi-stage judgment system that grades your timing per note, like the judgment systems used by Bemani games like Beatmania, DDR and Gitadora. I think that would give people a nice middle ground that would still give people leniency to hit denser note patterns while still encouraging high accuracy play

[@JasonParadise]

At one point this was talked about for Fret Smasher, but I haven't heard any progress on that games development lately. Wouldn't say it's out of the question for YARG in the future with the open source nature of the game. Would be a lovely option to have

[@JasonParadise]

Are you afraid of ghosts? Try Anti-Ghost mode in YARG by downloading the game here: yarg.in/ Something I didn't mention in the video... take a look at the multiplier while someone is playing YARG. If their multiplier is BLUE, they are playing with Anti-Ghost which requires extreme accuracy. If the multiplier is ORANGE, Anti-Ghost is turned off and sloppier play is just fine.

That's kinda neat that the devs snuck that in there. Hopefully we won't see that leading to people "bullying" for not-playing anti-ghost, and only calling people out on BS for ghosting while pretending they're not. Hopefully that makes sense, but if not, basically - Playing without anti-ghosting: This is fine, let them cook. Lying about it: Not okay, don't let them get away with it.

[@reach17-CH]

So basically, Clone Hero is the ACT and YARG is the SAT.

[@teutonicknightmare]

Honestly I'm a little surprised not to hear a metal version of Ghostbusters in the intro for this :D

[@sparklyskittles6367]

i think the biggest thing that sells YARG over clone hero for me is 1. open source very cool, but more importantly 2. with clone hero (and most other alternatives) you are pretty locked into the way the engine is made. YARG lets you play either one of the most precise engines u want, with anti ghosting, no infinite front end, and precision mode, OR if ur super casual then u can go the full other way and basically play on the clone hero engine, or anywhere in between. its not necessarily that yarg is more precise, its that its more versatile to ALLOW you to play more precise if you want to.

[@Junk4u999]

I was there for that stream, a lot of pain and suffering for some of those FCs. But you’ll only get better.

[@deanZAbean]

Never gotten massively into Guitar hero playing myself but have been watching it quite a bit over the years, never knew clone hero didn't have anti ghosting and allowed you to spam so much, The plays are still impressive that people post but now knowing that yarg FC's show full skill and timing I'm excited to see the scores people set on charts now!

[@admiraltonydawning3847]

Jason' makes me feel good.

[@JasonParadise]

[@d4zz1e]

3:02 I thought this on your Sabatron - All guns Blazing video that some of the notes weren't hit exactly, that could be due to a video/audio sync.

[@d4zz1e]

Also I'm pretty pissed this an FC of Ray Parker JNRs classic theme tune 🤣🤣🤣

[@Thesnakerox]

After listening to your explanation of YARG's engine, watching the clips of you playing made me clench my cheeks 2.5 times as hard! Out of curiosity, if you have both Infinite Front End AND No Ghosts on, does it still feel any different from CH's engine?

[@JasonParadise]

Ends up feeling quite similar to Clone Hero if you turn off Anti-Ghost and turn Infinite Front End on. While I'm personally focusing on the anti-ghost engine, I feel like YARG still has value for the folks who enjoy crazier tappy charts. This is especially true when you factor in the new replays feature. The ability to have proof even when not recording? Yes please

[@Thesnakerox]

@@JasonParadise What about if you turn both settings on? Does the addition of infinite front end make the effects of anti-ghost negligible, or does it still feel different from CH somehow?

[@josephblood2907]

Jason Happy Monday 🎸

[@JasonParadise]

Damn good day to shred 🥳

[@renegadesofanarchy289]

There’s something oddly satisfying about seeing open notes on a RB styled highway

[@AmyraCarter]

14:16 I think you and Austin of Shoddycast (formerly of Game Theory) should collab; you have a lot in common. ... I have to be honest, my inabilities due to various non-game issues render things like infinite front end basically pointless; having it or not makes no real difference on my end. That said, I see why it was coded; too many official charts with hopo notes that shouldn't be. ... Oh? You mean to inquire of my inabilities? I'll throw you a bone. I have depth perception issues. This makes things difficult when measuring from certain perspectives, and is more of an annoyance, or dire peril depending on the situation, but I don't see things in 3D the same way most others do. In fact, I'm better at rhythm games when played on a CRT type monitor, I kid not. (has no effect when playing vocals-I'm just good at vocals)

[@t4ngent696]

YARG fuckin rocks man! Also it's pretty cool to see my name in the credits!

[@jwilham]

It may be harder but it's not realistic. On real guitar when you tap, You are holding down a string with your left pointer finger, tap with your right pointer finger, And the other digits on your left hand do the rest of the work. Not being able to hold down notes in advance... This changes you into a robot. You're playing like a robot would. If you're into that go for it.

[@JasonParadise]

Hey, if people want realistic that's what Rocksmith is for. At the end of the day, it's preference. Gotta play the things you enjoy, right? 🤘

[@FyreofShadow]

To be fair, if you hold the note down in advance for a hammer-on you're just playing the note early. Anti-ghost is more to catch cases like that.

[@juannyboigaming3898]

This is enjoyable I honestly never knew that about clone hero.. and it makes things I see done by the guy who used to be called Frosted GH do seem less impressive even tho it's still ridiculous what he was doing and still is.. Knowing that what you are playing is a real timing window like console makes me even more impressed

[@conjae]

Frif still plays more precise and cleaner that 99% of top players, they’re the best for a reason after all

[@JasonParadise]

Talking about this is tough because I don't want to downplay accomplishments people have on Clone Hero. Sure, a lot of those FCs would be physically impossible with a timing engine that isn't so loosey goosey. It's part of the reason that style of play never appealed to me. At the end of the day people have to do what they enjoy, this style is just my personal preference. It feels great to know I hit the notes without help from the game. If people enjoy tappy boi stuff in Clone? Have at it! Here's hoping this video helps to explain the differences and why the same FCs mean so much more in an engine like YARGs

[@juannyboigaming3898]

@@JasonParadise love it either way.. just have more appreciation personally to a timing window I can relate to.. me being a console gamer and only ever played the console games

[@AlphaGamma297]

I know exactly how you feel about being given credit for something you feel you didn’t really do on your own. It doesn’t feel rewarding. When you find something challenging you ACTUALLY do on your own, it’s the best, because it lets you know you DO have what it takes, and that makes it all the more badass!

[@JasonParadise]

Exactly! This is partially why I've dealt with imposter syndrome content wise too. How many people ask "when's the next old school meme chart?" or something similar? Quite a few folks got the impression I made those memes when I was simply playing the charts for the first time and reacting. Getting credit for things I didn't do is not my intention. Makes sense YARG feels so much more rewarding to me. Same exact feel

[@ditto_75]

I'm thinking about 1 percent of players want the game to be harder to play. Must be nice to have that problem. lol

[@thetrawlerman]

It's not about making the game harder, it's just being fair to everyone so there are no stupid FCs with a shit ton of spam Not saying spam scores aren't impressive, but they're not in the same league as a clean FC. Just compare Friff to other top players

[@ragepoweredgamer]

I haven't played, but it sounds like it completely undoes the whole anchoring tutorial from every Guitar Hero game, where they explain you can hold a note as early as you like, so long as you strum at the correct time. You know, like an actual guitar functions. I'm interested to see how it works compared to classic Guitar Hero mechanics, but I am a fan of not 5 fret spamming solos like some top-tier players do. Still playing Clone Hero because I like the GH visuals over RB. Always hated the RB highway and gems.

[@JasonParadise]

You can still anchor! The limitation is you can't slide around on the frets and tap buttons you aren't supposed to be hitting. If you want to compare it to real guitar, imagine it like string noise before hittting the right note. You can tell when someone is playing sloppy versus really clean. YARG just makes it so "string noise" breaks your combo. Anchoring is still totally fine, that Dragonforce part would be absurd otherwise

[@thenihilanth3382]

Where did you get that Half Life background?

[@heyjulien]

My yarg doesnt have the engine options. Am I doing something wrong?

[@beardalaxy]

After playing CH for so long I played RB2 relatively recently and I legit thought my guitar was broken lol. Correct me if I'm wrong, but GH3 had infinite frontend, right? Isn't CH just based off of GH3 but a bit more lenient on top of that? I think it makes the game play very smoothly and makes sense for solid notes, maybe not for hammer-ons as much. As a somewhat-actual guitarist it feels a bit more natural since you can hold down frets before strumming to make the note come out on a real guitar. With hammer-ons and tapping and the like though, yeah you do need to actually hit that perfectly. Wonder if some compromise could be made there with only solid notes having the infinite front-end. Thoughts?

[@ops2mops954]

anti ghosting only applies to hopos and taps and it doesnt outright drops your combo, you can strum hopos and taps

[@beardalaxy]

@@ops2mops954 oh okay dope

[@fragniz]

[Edit: Having come back to and watched the rest of the video, Anti-Ghost seems like a fun setting to use, and since it's just that: an optional setting, I don't feel as harshly about it.]I'll admit, I haven't watched the whole video, but I HOPE what you were talking about is somehow implemented ONLY for HOPOs and tap notes. Because if Anti-ghosting is applied to the whole game, that is, in my opinion, unbelievably stupid. "You literally have to tap the note and strum RIGHT when the note hits the line, otherwise you miss". Yes, I know it's just a game and not a real guitar, but it just feels idiotic because that's not how you play a real guitar. You can hold down a string BEFORE you have to play a note. But, when it comes to HOPOs and taps, Anti-Ghost feels to me more realistic because you're plucking/hitting the strings at the EXACT moment you need to, and there's very little leeway in that regard. Just a bit of a rant because I personally dislike the idea if it's the way it seemed to be presented.

[@codyferrell5075]

What note speed are you playing on? Love the vids!

[@JasonParadise]

Using note speed 7.9 and track length 1.8

[@ChezTikkesi]

My ONLY gripe with YARG is that sometimes when you have to play more hold notes mid hold note, it just cuts it off. Other than that, amazing engine.

[@JasonParadise]

Know exactly what you're talking about. Pretty sure they're working on that for the future. The alpha build has already fixed quite a few bugs. Next one I'm looking forward to is solo bonuses coming back. All worth it for this new engine thoooo 🤘

[@bigboom2438]

Soulless 4 on YARG when?

[@alexdamonwrites]

Does this feature mean that you can't put your fingers on frets to prepare for upcoming notes? And what about mindlessly tapping on frets during extensive pauses in songs, does that also break your combo?

[@JasonParadise]

You can still anchor notes. You can still mindlessly tap during long breaks. It's just hitting incorrect notes on the fretboard during a chain of hammer ons/pull offs that will break combo. Huge for players who love this style of classic gameplay

[@alexdamonwrites]

@@JasonParadise Great! I was worried because anchoring (that's what it's called, I totally forgot) is something I use quite often. And we all just tap away when we've got 20 seconds until the next note, don't we? I think it's time I get started on installing this game and seeing how quickly I can pick it up.

[@franciscodelico]

Just waiting on Guitar Hero graphics options to make the jump. I'm really liking everything YARG is implementing, but unfortunately, RB style notes are unreadable to me, idk why.

[@joeb7325]

So with anti-ghosting, what's the timing window with notes?

[@Hearumi]

I remember I played almost all Guitar Hero games emulated on RPCS3 not so long ago, Aerosmith, WT, Metallica, Van Halen, 5, Warriors of Rock and even Band Hero, then went back to play Clone Hero, it felt DISGUSTING, it was like I was playing random notes and the songs were playing themselves, it was really bad, so after that I went to play only YARG and WTDE, I don't feel comfortable playing Clone Hero anymore, it lets you do whatever tf you want a little too much

[@naet3]

i think this is what Rock Band players need on pc hell i'd switch if it supported wii guitars properly i couldnt get it working right here on steam deck ps3 worked fine however

[@JasonParadise]

It's a free download. Website is yarg.in/ to get it. If you have a wired controller it'll be simply plug and play. If you have a wireless 360 controller you can get one of the wireless Xbox 360 adapters for PC. They sell for like $35 or so on Amazon 🤘

Want to create a pipeline for people to submit memes/songs they'd like to see charted, have folks chart them up, and then I could play them after on streams. Still in the works setting that up

@@JasonParadise ahh ok. Well I'm glad your uploading a lot more now

[@JasonParadise]

Appreciate that. Thanks a ton 🤘

I personally dont like antighost. Its a gameplay nightmare in fast sections where you are allowed to strum early and get away with it, but god forbid you spam frets a frame or two too early. Some charts feel like bs with how tight the timing has to be on fast HOPOs and Taps sections. If its easier to strum a hard section than actually doing it the way the chart intended because the timing is unforgiving, then the sytem is wrong from the ground. At least in CH, the motion you do in those fast sections feels smooth and fun to play instead of having to feel like you need to hit frame perfect every single note because the X game engine is tied together with ductape. If you want a better solution I suggest looking at how other rhythm games do it by having an Accuracy score alongside Notes Hit. That way you can still FC something but keep improving on your accuracy without separating pros from casuals with a toggle in the settings. On a side note: The UI in YARG is a mess to navigate.

He IS the guitar hero

[@dustblowingman]

Cant stand the rock band notes though. Can you change it to guitar hero notes yet ?

[@JasonParadise]

I've seen one community mod for circle notes so far. Last I checked there were already 69 (nice) different forks of the game on github. Bound to be some new features coming there eventually. One community member is working on a YARG mod that speeds a song up every time you hit a note 😅

No porn bots in the comments? Odd.

[@JasonParadise]

Do my best to keep it clean 😅

[@pichi_playz]

i mean i respect yarg but it depends on people that enjoy whats what so either way theres no point in promoting and just let them find out for them selfs

[@lawnshark025]

seeing open notes with rock band style frets makes me so uncomfortable lmao

[@JasonParadise]

The YARG team did such a good job making it look like Rock Band. Huge W having original assets like this. Also worth mentioning the tap notes too 🤘

[@fakenickib6245]

its funny he sayd "the next console game will have tighter windows" hahaha. little does he know fortnite festival is not only gonna be tight, but you HAVE to make sure the fret is pressed before you strum, even if you miss a frame Thats why i am gonna learn yarg/emulate the old games instead of play CH. So i dont learn bat habits, and can REALLY express the skill i learn

[@anotheratheist]

Wow. No CM Punk-Comments.

[@JasonParadise]

But you just left one 🤔

[@AeternaIX]

Ill stick with CH tho

[@Spiritwonder420]

Maybe so but a game being harder for the sake of being harder.dos not mean more fun.also good luck with charts like soules on there

[@JasonParadise]

It's not just "for the sake" of it. Pretty much every classic GH/RB had a timing window tighter than most people use nowadays with Clone Hero. Anti-ghost on YARG is a return to form for anyone who enjoyed playing the console games. As for stuff like soulless, how about for someone like me? I've never touched one of them. No interest at all. But on the other hand Anti-ghost on YARG reminds me of when I first fell in love with the games. The feel of knowing the game didn't give me credit is priceless

[@River_of_Egypt]

So it's Aim Assist. KILL IT WITH FIRE! :) ...Wait, is it ironic that the console games don't have anti-ghost, when it's console shooters that need aim-assist?

[@xKillZone99]

idk yarg is okay but it's not as smooth as clone hero
