What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

[Ultimaeblah]

I'm not used to to playing crappy off-sync sims, so what's a good way to practice for getting a 200 hit combo with less than 10 combined misses/boos?

>_< Thank you

Re: What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

Either keep playing the song until you learn the trickier (jacky) patterns, or screenshot the patterns where you get the most misses/boos, and familiarize yourself with them.

And I don't think it's 10 combined. IIRC, it's 10 each of misses and boos. So I think you could get 8 misses and 9 boos, for example.

When SSing to learn the patters keep the speed at 1X so you can fit more into one SS.

get your 200 combo at the beginning its easier and yes u can have 10 misses AND 10 boos

Maybe use 1.25x to read the patterns, though that's not how I learned. Definitely screencut, and... have fun with that Hyrogashi file.
Good luck!

I can see the patterns perfectly at 2x, thank you. I just get messed up because I try to tap to the music, and the arrows don't match it =S

Re: What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

Hm, I'll try that.

Repeat playing it, I've gotten up to a 173 hit combo, 8 misses, and 22 boos.

I'm starting to be able to combo the silly parts, so I think just playing a few more times will do me good.

I'll tell you how much I improve in the next few plays, and try music off!

Edit: 208 hit combo! Still 8 misses, and up to 31 boos, so... time to boo reduce!

I keep missing early in the first jumpstream, hmm. It FEELs like I'm hitting it, but i'm really not. Lag, or just me being stupid?

EDIT: 201 hit combo, 8 misses, 21 boos. I tend to get the misses on the 53rd arrow, then the jumping jacks begin, and at the beginning of the second set of the jumping jacks. I can combo the jumpstreams just fine, now.... hm.

EDIT: 197 hit combo, 8 misses, 12 boos @_@
I keep getting a lot of boos on the jumpjacks from arrow 50 to arrow 80 or so, and later on, too. I think I keep trilling... Hmm.

EDIT: RAWTHIAOPHGAG, the jacks keep killing me. I swear i'm hitting them right, but the game says I'm not.

You have to hit it early to avoid jack syndrome. Don't worry about getting goods and averages on this, PA isn't part of how to get the token.

Re: What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

Hit... early?
I'm used to PAwhoring, is all x.x

I'll try.

EDIT: I can hit the crowdpleaser jack really easily.... odd.
Hit early... hmm.

EDIT: 367 combo on Hellbeat... 11 misses 37 boos though =S
I keep trilling when I should be jacking on the early jacks -.-

EDIT: How do I avoid getting misses when the arrows freeze, and then reappear beyond my hitbox? Really annoying...

When the arrows freeze, thats not your fault, its lag.
PS: I played Hellbeat about 100 times in a row to get the token, I played at 1.75X, and I play four finger.

Re: What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

This is sort of unrelated to this, but does increasing your speed cut down on jack syndrome at all? I'm not sure of coding, but it would seem like it might at least.

Re: What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

Ugh, I'll try tomorrow. Lots of drama occured that really upset me, and I don't play well when upset.

Talk to ya all tomorrow. =/

No.

Re: What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

hah i just got this about a week ago.
play with the sound off.
the bpm is off, but if you play to your own beat it will make it easier
took me a couple times, but on the one i got it, i had only one miss.
you feel really good after getting it

Re: What's the best way to work up to the Hellbeat token?

just keep practicing, eventually you'll get 200 combo and under 10 boos and misses if you don't mash at all. that was my hardest token to unlock so i feel your pain.
