FoFiX rock meter ideas [unlimited]

How about we have a rectangle (Sorta like RB), when we hit an ignition, firepower whatever phrase, it fills the bar up with oil

When activating, a bolt of lightning strikes the bar, the oil bursts up in flames and start to burn out

OIL POWAAA!!!!

I love your idea man! That would be awesome. But for the bar how about the board of a guitar? You could fill that up, couldn't you?

Weird idea, but MAYBE somebody will like it:

Make something more than just rockmeter. If there is no background, make simple pictures of people or metalheads (or even simple stick figures from pivot), on the left and right of the neck, that are:

max green: headbanging, body slaming
deep green: jumping, "putting hands up in the air"
low green: jumping
max yellow: sth like dancing etc
yellow: clapping hands, some people stands still, other try to dance or just move around
low yellow: just staying, maybe a little bit having fun
max red: facepalms or so :P
red: acting like shouting, some ppl leaving
low red: going out
dead: everyone is going out > when everybody is out then u have "You Fail" and menu or sth like that

I just thought it after a second. What if we have 2 starpowers?

An offtopic suggestion.

A multiplayer vs mode can be played like this: The frets board is a wood like style. Both players are hitting notes to throw fire on the enemy. As fire burns the wood fret board it cuts the neck slowly,the player loses the sight of the incoming notes. If activated, you could temporarily turn your fretboard into a firewood, invincible on fire for a moment. The center thermometer measures which side is hotter and endangered to fail

The best battle idea ever.

Agreed

i DISAGREE!
the most annoying thing that can happen with rhythm games, is to not be able to see whats going on.
this might be fine for easy mode, but anyone else isnt going to like you much.

Where's the challenge then? It's a multiplayer battle, and one of them has to win. I see no problem with it.

+1 to the above.
I like the aesthetic described, but for gameplay I think it would be better to use the attacks from Guitar Hero 3+ Battle mode.
Obscuring or tinting the screen is one of the worst mechanics a game can have.

Off-topic, but writing that made me think of an interesting attack that could be added to the current Battle mode: Switch track (between Guitars and Drums). You keep playing the same instrument mechanic-wise, but the notes that scroll down are temporarily chosen based on a different track.

That would be a bit tricky in some circumstances. The first example that pops into my head is guitar sustains on drums. How do you play them?
Other than that, I think it's a cool idea.

None of it is to do with rock meter ideas, however.

imagine if you were playing halo, and whenever you got killed, an electronic arm came out of your xbox, holding a piece of cardboard and obscured part of the screen.
