Knights of Cydonia: 81%, 38 NS, 114,552

[Ether's Bane]

I've just fucking passed Knights of fucking Cydonia on Expert on GH3 for the very first time! In case you're wondering why this isn't in the Fwee thread, let's put it this way:

I got to the 7th tier in October last year.
Started grinding for a Stricken pass.
Passed Stricken on Christmas Eve last year.
Started grinding for a Before I Forget pass in January. (I still haven't, and I stopped grinding this, though I'll start again now.)
Started grinding for a Knights of Cydonia pass in March.
First made it past Breakneck Desperado in April.
First made it past Galloping Triplets around six weeks ago.
Passed KoC minutes ago!

Here are my stats apart from the ones in the title:

1568/1917 Notes Hit
3/14 SP Phrases Hit
Average Multiplier of 1.073

Mount Thine Steed 85%
Galloping Rampage 78% (was in the blinking red after this)
Enduring Solitude 90% (got SP usability here)
Breakneck Desperado 89% (SP used here)
Breakneck Desperado 2 82%
A Cowboy's Verse 80%
Mount Thine Steed 2 82%
Ammending Chorus 85%
Galloping Triplets 75% (PASSED IT WITH NO SP, BITCHES)
Metal Battleground 86% (got SP usability here)
Ammending Chorus 2 76% (SP used here)
Metal Battleground 2 77%
A Free Man's Laurels 77% (finished in the red)

FUCK YEAH! Now for BiF and 3's and 7's...

Congratulations! It took me forever to finally pass Knights! And it was just about my biggest GH accomplishment, because Muse is my favorite band ever, and I was working very hard to beat it. The part at the end (don't remember what it's called) was the part giving me the most trouble, because I kept getting cramps. Butt I finally did it!

That's one of the hardest songs in the game! Congrats on passing it! Now you should go for better runthroughs. Try for 4-star next!

But first beat 3's and 7's. It's much easier than Before I Forget.
