Posted a video of my strategy. I use the same one in medium/hard/expert, and it's gotten me first on all 3.

Similar question here as I had for Sharp Dressed Man.

On the 8th SP pattern...is that two separate patterns back to back or one long one? I suppose I could just play the song to find out but I'm working on these charts :P

Thanks to anyone who wants to answer my lazy self

b3nz0r, you asked about this song in a different thread. Here's my path:

blue boxes are SP activations.

So I think the answer to your question, whether I got the double squeeze, is no. But I'm not sure what you meant. I started my 3rd activation on the second green note, but I delayed it as long as possible to get extra hold points at the end.

That's what I'm talking about. Activating on that note...or wait JC, was it the 1st green I was trying to do?

Yes, it is possible to activate on the first green which would give more points.

It's very difficult because of the 1/6th second delay it takes to fill the SP meter after you hit the last note of the SP combo. So you need to hit the last SP note very early, and the first green very late (activating just before hitting it).

It's technically possible to squeeze in the very first green note if you hit the SP combo early and activate way late...the issue is the slight pause between getting the SP combo and it actually letting you use it. If it was instantaneous (which I think it should be) then it'd be nothing.

You could've just quoted my previous post..

But yeah, that delay is very annoying and hard to get a feel for. Even worse, because the notes are so dense in that section, it's almost impossible to use select without missing a note (at least for me).. and tilting makes it much harder to pinpoint the activation at an exact time.
