Thunderhorse Verse 2 strumming

I don't know what it is, but I can't hit that

strumming pattern whatsoever. I feel like I keep in rhythm with it perfectly, but then one of the HOPOs decides it's not gonna count as a strummed note and completely fucks me up.

I've been trying at this section for two days, and I've probably hit it about 3 times, once in a real run which I overstrummed in anyway, and the other two times in practice and haven't been able to hit it in a real run since. What could I feasibly be doing wrong here? Because I feel like the engine/HOPOs are just fucking me over every single time. I really need some help with this.

EDIT: Disregard, I finally have the FC.

I know it's a bit harder to strum through hopos on GH2 360 (see: number of misirlou FCs on 360 vs ps2) so that might have something to do with it. My only advice is to strum earlier rather than later so that the hopos don't have time to register. Good luck! (also watch out for that hopo glitch

)

Yeah, I've heard about the differences between he 360 and PS2 versions. Seems bizarre that there would be differences between how the engine functions on each different console.

Oddly enough, I've also had the opposite problem to what's been happening in TH. Instead of the HOPOs not registering as strums when I want them too, sometimes they'll count as strum notes when I don't want them to. An example would be grace notes like

where I'd try to strum the last blue but it would instead count the strum for the HOPO before it. Gave me heaps of trouble in Freya's 1st solo with the trills. I had to end up strumming a doublet when the trills changed frets because of this issue.

Anyway, I think I have a method for Thunderhorse that I'm going to attempt. I'm going to try gallops for that part, so I use the

HOPO but strum the rest as gallops. I'll see how that works. It seems more reliable than just strumming through it or using all the HOPOs.

EDIT: I think the issue was I was strumming a little too fast because I can combo it pretty reliably now. Doesn't matter anyway, because the game decided that I was 1 millisecond too late on one of the gallops. Seriously fuck this song. It can be #72 for all I care because it feels fucking impossible.

EDIT2: NEVER MIND. I got it. Of course as soon as I say it feels impossible, BOOM - FC.

That's usually how it works! Good job man, this song... gave me hell when I was going for it.
