You have to activate it super late!!! lol, i've had optimal before up to the stupid solo!!! but does anyone know if you have to whammy the very first star power long note, its super short so im not sure if you get extra star power from it, i always whammy anyways though.

Any whammy will get you extra SP, although that sustain is so short the amount gained is barely noticeable. Given how hard that squeeze is, however, I would assume that it matters somewhat.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Stricken No Solo FC Path

Namely, the third activation. If you don't whammy any of the SP phrases leading up to it, and activate IMMEDIATELY, shouldn't it be possible to grab the next SP phrase?

Well, whenever I try, I overlap it. I try hitting the yellow note late, but it doesn't work. Can someone who's good with squeezing or good with awkward paths try this out and see if it's even possible? Thanks.

(I can't FC the whole solo in one run so I made a path to avoid SP over it)

I didn't whammy and pretilted, and was still unable to avoid overlapping the next phrase. Sorry.

You could just use the hard path; it doesn't have an activation in the solo. Move an activation to catch more chorus points and you're golden.

2-2-4-2 is a better alternative to skip the solo i think. If it would actually help anybody, i could re-FC the song with 3-2-3-2 and 2-2-4-2 and see which one is better?

Yeah Lemon I don't even have to look at a path to realize that 2242 is better. More chord points and such.

well, you have to squeeze it just as much as any other activation in the game-- as much as possible! its a very tough path.. and if u want a good way to tap the solo, check out my youtube-- jebsax206

OMG! I've been using all the paths posted, and I still get the same score(but i can't fc the solo, only 5* so far), around 436k! Isn't there any path that could give me a little more, or is it because I haven't been squeezing all those star powers? Because I know I am missing some points there.
