This path got me 2nd place even though I missed a note in the middle, so it should be pretty solid. It's not completely optimized, but it's close...

In a nutshell:
3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 (skip 1) - 4 - 2 (skip last one)

You think this is the one Maximus used? I don't think it is.
I tried this last night..and got about 429k...I didn't execute it perfectly, but that would not make me lose out by 7k points. I've been scratching my head on this one for a bit... I used another path to get 430k.

I see you managed 432k with a 99%...so you may be on the right path...but I have a feeling you updated this strat....

I'll get around to looking at this one closer soon...

Indeed, this SP was good enough to get me 3rd on my FC. The only thing I changed different is the timing of the last SP- I activate it not immediately, but right at the start of the big block of chords that follows, that way I end right after the 2nd block of chords instead of the long note chords before it.

That is the right path. Just got 1st by a mile with it.

The first activation needs to be moved further back, though, and a couple other activations can also be slightly tweaked to squeeze in another note.
