This song is over 5 years old at this point, but 17:26-18:11 is still my favorite section of any song, period. I've probably listened to it alone over 100 times and I still get chills from it, especially during the rising section from 17:33-17:36 and the licks at 17:45 and 17:54. All of the melodies are so satisfying and all over the place while still flowing together so well. Then the breaking point at 18:02 is such a huge release of energy that really feels like the killing blow to a giant beast. There are so many great sections in the song as a whole but that part is a whole different level entirely. Every single second of it is so masterfully made and I don't think I'm ever gonna get sick of hearing it. And the fact that it was made while just being meant as a difficult Clone Hero song is unbelievable to me.

[@EelUnagi]

So as someone totally foreign to the clone hero scene I recently stumbled on a twitch clip from LSF of frif getting a "FC" of this song (I know it means a full combo now heh) - after reading through the thread I was pretty blown away by how much work your all's community puts into the game: stuff about different controllers being used for optimizing input lag, crazy. Kept digging down the rabbit hole and ended up here and am in awe at the community effort that went into making the song as well - I'd just assumed someone took a song that already existed and mapped notes to it to play on the game. But to find out it was actually a community project with a bunch of musicians contributing... Just wanted to stop by and say I've really enjoyed learning about your all's community these past few weeks, it's really something special how much passion and energy you all pour in. Typically that gets distilled to a 1 minute twitch clip that the masses consume, but as someone who dug a little deeper I just want to say how impressed I was. Very cool stuff. :)

I recently got back into the rhythm game scene and have been trying to catch up with the guitar hero scene, specifically. I’m so glad I did after discovering this gem. This is without a doubt the best sounding custom song I’ve heard. Not only that but it looks really fun as well.

[@Tyler_Kwak]

This is indeed a very nice sounding song. And yeah first time playing this seems fun (i never played clone hero so i wouldn't know for sure on the feeling) but grinding for an FC is stressful lol. Frif recently got a 2 part tech FC.

I really like how this hard chart isn't nerfed into oblivion like soulless 5's was. The s5 hard chart nerfed way too many things way too hard and this one just nerfs the insanely hard stuff. Also sounds dope, good job.

[@BossAydan]

Well it is apart of the Soulless Series, so it's meant to be like that. With sections being more tame than other sections. Jarvis is different with his charting style. As in his charts are *meant* to be accurate considering it's chiptune.

I'm a year or so late but maybe hard should've been a little more nerfed, it's the same as expert in some parts

[@iwashungrysoi_7796]

Hard should have some same parts as expert, since it’s helping to step up to the harder parts of the song that are needed.

[@skiller5034]

Hard has *tapped* notes at hard tapping parts where Expert has *ho/po* notes, so on hard you don't have to (elbow) strum again if you miss a note, whereas on Expert you have to

[@TheNewBruno69]

I agree with both of them but i'm honestly thinking even that the hard chart is way more difficult than it should be on some cases. Hard is a difficulty for let you even understand and perform good on certain patterns with less frustration than expert, here outside of easier perform of the notes for all tap where on expert there are ho/po there is no really easy access for learn easier the pattern, the only real easier part is where outside of using the open notes they used an anchor green button, that's a way better example

[@TheJoker.07]

@@TheNewBruno69 yeah. I'm 5 minutes into the song and there are quite many patterns and sections that require a lot of skill to even pass them without failing miserably. It looks more like an Expert- chart tbh edit: 10 seconds later... man, this ain't hard. This is definitely expert-.

Overall: Sound and theme is epic, outside of those 2 solos I mentioned before. The transition into the guitar part was slightly odd, but that's hard to do (Johnny bravo Mr of the universe and I think couchluck also by void222x are examples of songs that do that as well, it's a bit of a challenge). I feel like the chart in general overused taps in some places, but that's probably just me (tsmb2 does the same thing and I have to fix it usually lol). That's about all I have to say now, lol.

[@Plumato]
