@zmanandtails only reason why I havent done all S stage is because I cant be as* to reset it if they dont have a reset button

I actually have been practicing quite a bit and managed to beat track 1 on all difficulties with S. No clue how well I’ll do on the other tracks though.

This game could really use proper reset button/option, as I’ve been turning streamer mode on and off to retry fights.

@zmanandtails you could just turn off music and just use the beats timing at the btm to deal with it. it should give you more accurate score than hearing

I’m really struggling to get S-Ranks for fights, and I’ve always had an issue with timing, even with assists turned on. I usually see “miss” on the bottom of my screen and have difficulty even getting the first hit on beat usually. I kind of wish there was so sort of different beat assist feature for those like me who are incredibly tone deaf.

Still i think better solution just to send new players to training room and practice. You don't need follow the music, you need to catch rhytm between the attacks and get used to.

You have to understand that:

1) sometimes the audio and gameplay doesnt sync which results in the timing being off.

2) sometimes you hear the audio and THINK you are on beat but actually arent by a small amount of offset. ( a frame or two )

3) sometimes people dont want the distraction from the rhythm assists.

I, myself video capture my game to check frame by frame to see whether I'm on beat or not and sometimes, I'm on beat but the game doesnt recognize it ( this is for the perfect parry non bosses achievement ).

So yeah, obviously you can beat the game without being on beat ( as the dev said so ) but this guide is for people who are wondering why they cant get a good score for "Just Timing". Its a guide to help .

Lastly, the game never properly explain about the score, just time and clear time.

Don't need to be so agressive:). I was just wondering how at can be not so obvious for some. It seemed like too much information about usefulness of aim assist, personally.

well some ppl dont use the rhythm assist to hit on the beat so they wont get high "just timing" score. if you think its pointless, sure, its your opinion but there are others that might think this is helpful @Mad Jack

if you think you can do a better job explaining how to get a high score in "just timing", you can post up your own guide and ill remove mine

so.. the whole point of this guide is to say, that you must hit things on bit? That's explained in the first tutorial of the game. Can't see any meaning of this.

no worries! all my first attempt at very hard was all D lol
