i need a good sp path for this one

**Wiver3** · Joined: 12 Jul 2006 Posts: 22 Location: Smithtown, NY

It's still 1200 away from 1st, but if you work on whammy the small parts you should be able to get 274K. Kept messing up when I tried to whammy the small holds so decided not to. The SP path I used was....

grab 4 sets of stars and used it on the 1st GR.
Then 2 more stars use it at the RB section.
grab two more and use it right away
then two more and use it at the green note away the yellow hold.

Hopefully you can understand my shorthand, if not, sorry.

That path is impossible. 1) That's more stars than the song has. 2) There's a set of stars between the 6th star and the RB section.

That's the same path I use. 4-2-2-2.

Oops! I was activating SP late and overshooting the next set of stars. Now I can 5* it easily.

Whenever I try to activate it always goes a little late on my part, so that is why no one sees me with a top 10 score :P Otherwise, it takes a lot of practice I guess.
