1. 3, right away

2. 2, right away

3. 3, two measures into the more continuous stream of notes, ie. before the third set of chords

4. 3, this one is a bit tricky to get exactly right, but it should be whammied fully and activated around 2-2,5 beats into the red SP hold

5. 2, right away

malictus Killing in the Name strat

This is essentially the same path as tpalkki's, with the following tweaks:

1. Delay activation 1 by a few notes, and you'll be able to squeeze a couple more notes under SP.

2. Squeeze one extra note out of activation 3 by starting one note earlier (assuming you can squeeze; if you can't it's better to wait).

My current high (277804) is still 200 points short, since I missed the first squeeze, which is quite difficult. Max may be even more, since I may have missed another squeeze too.

Through Malictus all things are possible. Thanks so much, I had a similar one in mind, but for some reason I had my heart set on getting a full SP out of the tenth sp pass (the one where you activeate in the middle of the red hold note) and then having my pattern being 3-2-3-2-1-2. But needless to say I couldn't ever get enough whammy out of it.
