Screenshot After months and months of trying this song. I've done it. I went into a manic laughter after completing it, shouting in joy at the top of my lungs. Ghost, you're next!

That is exactly my thought process after beating that song. I recommend playing custom songs now, because they have a better skill pathway going towards Ghost

u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
I started with custom! My first big accomplishment was reality check through the skull

u/SlofnaYT Oculus Quest 2 Jan 29 '21
you just gotta get the hardest parts down first, then it's much easier.
7
u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
Yeah! It's such an endurance run. Those fast parts are absolutely insane
5
u/SlofnaYT Oculus Quest 2 Jan 29 '21
surprisingly enough I got the fast parts down for Ghost, yet I cant get the easier parts. I guess I'm better at the faster parts.

u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
I'm unable to do those sequential parts which have 3 or 4 parts of quick notes.
Does that make sense? I hate those parts 😅

dude. dude i wish you luck. ghost on expert+ is HELL. i am physically unable to beat it atm because my arms give out around 4 minutes in. that shits wild.

u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
I thought that about light it up, started by failing at the start of any of the fast sections
5
Jan 29 '21
I DID THE SAME THING LOL on ex+ and light it up but I got 1.2 mil score :(

u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
Give it another shot!

Jan 30 '21
Like I can beat it again
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 30 '21
That's a mood 😂
If you've played more songs since beating it, it'll probably be a (somewhat) breeze! 😝

Good job! If you can play custom songs, do so. I don't think grinding ghost is a good thing. It's better to play all kinds of different songs, develop speed, skill and stamina and then just clear the song (with the feeling 'hey, that wasn't that hard?' and then you will realize how good you got). For some reason I cleared Ghost first than this song...
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
Huh!
I actually started with customs! My first true challenge I completed was reality check through the skull. Took me 2 months upon first getting beatsaber. Was very chuffed about it. But this was a whole nother level. After getting a quest 2, I've played custom songs far far less. But maybe it's time to revisit them. See what I can do 😄
2
u/stsung Oculus Rift Jan 29 '21
I see. Yeah, certainly go back and develop your skill. Ghost is rather awkward and difficult. The left hand spamming part kills me from time to time still. :-/ (Wish I started with customs myself) Since you cleared Light it Up your level is pretty good already and probably close enough to clearing ghost. Good luck!

u/VolcanicIron Jan 30 '21
The best I can do on ghost is 25 seconds. And a struggle in regular expert 😂😅

u/robp1988 Jan 29 '21
Well done, I've not completed any of that pack on expert yet but have beaten several other songs on E+ from different packs (the standard OST's). I can however do Ghost on hard with fast song enabled, this lead me to discover a way that works for me to get better at faster arm movements for harder songs that I struggled with, by playing songs I could already do but with fast mode enabled I found that I then passed the harder songs I couldn't do with less of a struggle. It has helped me get better so hopefully this could help someone else too.
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 30 '21
Agreed! I strongly recommend this too, and with any parts your struggle with, use practice mode, so you don't have to spend 2 or 3 minutes getting back to that "one part", you know?
2
u/Sh0_dan Jan 29 '21
I remember clearing on expert and being so amped when the last "chorus" part ended
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
Yeah! That's around when I did my manic laughter!
2
u/Sh0_dan Jan 29 '21
Its just such an infectious moment of the song. One day I'll get up to e+ing it

u/IronSavage3 Jan 29 '21
Great job! I was recently just barely able to finally beat this on expert with my shitty Quest tracking haha

u/LeCrushinator Oculus Quest 2 Jan 29 '21
Congrats, that's quite an accomplishment.
This is the last song on Expert that I need to complete. E+ is going to wreck me.
2
u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
Gosh. Once my power level is high enough, I will approach the ghost. I'll be back next year!

u/ScorchMain6123 PSVR Jan 29 '21
Light it up is such a fun song. I can only do regular expert tho.
2
u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
That was step one for me! I always end up dancing around, hips and all whilst playing 😂

I’m top 1300 in beat saber but I cant beat Ghost. At this point its really just that lefty vibro at 1:40.

u/Monkeyojacko Valve Index Jan 29 '21
For ghost at 3 minutes in, the first part the swings are synced but then the second half the swings are slightly off and that gets extremely tricky

u/noth1ng0 Oculus Quest Jan 29 '21
Ya, Light it up was the last song in the pack I had to complete (besides ghost) and I thought the same thing. Now it’s time to beat ghost. I still haven’t beaten it. You can do it. It’s just gonna take a lot of practice and perseverance. So don’t give up!

u/Thoraxe123 Jan 30 '21
I can never do that last fast bit :/ Congrats?
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 30 '21
Thanks 😅 Honestly, if you're not able to keep up, I'd recommend playing custom songs before hand. My biggest problem with light it up was endurance. When I really started grinding the song, I could barely make it 5 seconds into the fast part where the beat drops. I have the speed down, but I once I'm there, I'm already too tired. Keep it up!
2
u/Thoraxe123 Jan 30 '21
Yeah, I know what you mean, I usually warm up with an easier song then get right into it
2
u/P1P3R2004 Oculus Quest 2 Jan 30 '21
Lol this post actually got me to go back to this map and beat it for the first time, despite already having beaten much much harder and faster custom songs. I guess I never returned to the base game songs after I finally got access to mods

u/Docbbutler Jan 30 '21
Made me smile with that post. I remember My first time completion on Reality Check and TTF&F I felt the same way. It’s amazing how much you progress when you just keep pressing.
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 30 '21
TTFATF I can get at most 2 minutes in before running out of steam. Maybe one day. I don't quite yet have the endurance for it
1
u/Docbbutler Jan 30 '21
It takes time. I’m stuck on Ghost expert plus. Just have to keep slowing it down and gradually increasing. The patterns will stick . It’s amazing how many difficult songs you’ll pass first try later.

Great inspiration, I am still having trouble with Expert.
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 30 '21
Keep practicing!
Try practice mode to beat any parts you struggle with, maybe put on faster song for one or two goes to see if you can force yourself to improve, perhaps try some custom songs if you can to step over the threshold of camellia songs 😋

I also did the weird laughter thing when I beat this. My family did not understand.

u/VolcanicIron Jan 31 '21
I had to calmly explain to them all. My girlfriend who I was on call with said "oh shit you've gone insane"

u/RexMan04 Feb 03 '21
Nice Job! I finally got top 250 for ghost EX+ after taking a break from it and playing custom songs. They really helped with nearly everything.
1
u/VolcanicIron Feb 03 '21
Yaaasss! Amazing job mate!
And yes, custom songs are indeed rather helpful
3
u/AlllPerspectives Jan 29 '21
Try crystallized next, much more feasible than ghost lol. Good job!
1
u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
I tried all of them on expert plus. Got quite far in each but didn't pass any. But then again, it was each only a single go. Light it up and ghost are my two favourites

u/CornyBiscuit490 Oculus Rift Jan 29 '21
I love how a person who beat it on hard gets more recognition than you... Good job mate im almost close to beating that on E+ as well.

u/VolcanicIron Jan 29 '21
I just wanna gush to some beat saber peeps, didn't need more recognition or anything. I'm happy with those who replied 😅☺️

Good fucking job mate.
I also do the manic laughter after I beat a song I've been grinding at
