Rhythm Heaven Megamix - The Flockstep Challenge

Ever heard of the Lockstep Challenge? This is the Flockstep Challenge!
I performed this with two copies of Megamix (NA on right, JP cart on left). Two copies of Fever should also work fine, but this 3DS setup was much easier to record. Definitely the hardest part is timing the jumps correctly.
Score progression: 56+34, 59+39, 70+45 (first OK), 76+64 (two OKs!), 86+61, 75+81, 82+80 (two Superbs!), 89+77 (I got both Skill Stars here!), maybe some decent improvements I didn't take note of, and finally what you see in this video.
"Sources", a.k.a. videos that inspired this one:
Philip Cogar's original video of the Lockstep Challenge: youtu.be/watch...
Pablo Acevedo's video of a Perfect Flockstep run in Fever: youtu.be/watch...
My first, lazily-edited video of this challenge that I, as one commenter put it, pretty much "stole" from Pablo (I had properly credited him when I uploaded it): youtu.be/watch...

Seems to me the hardest part is getting the initial sync. Then going a whole a take without messing up one of the segments.

[@butthoumust8439]

One mildly annoying thing about the sync was that my "old" 3DS XL and New 3DS XL have different load times from the minigame selection menu. To get the right sync, I had to choose "Start Over" from the pause menus.

[@AllUsernamesTaken]

@@butthoumust8439 if you have a CFW on your new 3DS, you can force it to the same clock rate as the old 3DS and probably get the same load times

[@butthoumust8439]

@@AllUsernamesTaken Well, I already figured out the workaround for that, but thanks anyway.

[@Meowicat]

I shall do this to avenge past me, who failed the last input in a Flock Step perfect run.

[@butthoumust8439]

That happened to me twice when trying to get the Perfect in Megamix, and again when recording this video.

[@soxnics]

i swear the last part on flock step where everything fades out is evil. without fail i will always mess up on those last few inputs

[@thomasingram1727]

That happened to me on Fever and holy shit that pissed me off

The button clicking sounds like the grandfather clock in my uncle's house.

[@wigwagstudios2474]

no grandfather clock should tick THIS fast unless the pendulum is out. anything that ticks this fast is probably a pocket watch tbh

[@Blancodraws]

I think its a perfect on/off beat

[@professoryeetus8955]

It's actually slightly off which kinda bothers me hsjjs

[@butthoumust8439]

@@professoryeetus8955 I'm sorry I didn't get a 100 on both for the video.

[@professoryeetus8955]

@@butthoumust8439 oh no don't worry! I was talking about the sync, you're fine

[@professoryeetus8955]

@UA-cam Television doesn't change the fact that i was talking about the 3ds's and not the score

[@williamsanborn9195]

The thing I like about this the most is that somehow you got the same score on both copies.

[@FoxBlocksHere]

Wow, that's insane.

[@snappishtemperament213]

I now have to live out my multitasking dreams vicariously through stuff like this.

YOU ARE a RHYTHM MASTER

Just flexing 2 copies of Megamix

[@butthoumust8439]

It was easier to record than doing it with two copies of Fever.

[@malikmalikmalikmalikma]

Can't wait for someone to make the froghop challenge

[@butthoumust8439]

So, I just rendered a video of that (the lazy way like with the first version of this video). I can tap along to it fine up to about 80% speed, but 100% is a little too fast for me.

[@XericIsNotMyName]

you created this challenge, and you did it yourself??? madlad

[@butthoumust8439]

Created? I seriously doubt that _absolutely nobody else_ had at least imagined this after seeing the Lockstep challenge. I was just the first (?) to make a video of it.
Edit: change formatting from bold to italics.

[@papermario332]

Somebody came up with the challenge first but your the first to execute the challenge. The creator just did a theoretical video by using a video of the perfect run of flockstep and edited it so that one is a beat off from the other.

[@butthoumust8439]

@@papermario332 Half a beat, but otherwise spot-on.

[@saerann]

Oh my god. Nice fucking work! I would probably loose my mind

[@opienti]

the fact that you got the same score on both games

[@papermario332]

You what might be hell, the flockstep challenge, but the speed up version from rhythm safari

[@napeoclesjucunda]

OH MY GOD ITS REAL

[@butthoumust8439]

I'm just glad that somebody didn't beat me to the punch with this video.

We got Lockstep and now Flock-Step (i hyphenated it to make the joke)

Ok you're a robot

[@butthoumust8439]

If I was a robot, I would have gotten two 100s and both Skill Stars on a Tempo Up Flockstep.

[@GamerGenius17]

I can never do this. I have done the perfect campaign for flock step 4 times and all of them ended when the music ended

[@RyneMcKinney]

Flockstep and Lockstep at the same time is even worse

[@tingsteph]

I'll be honest, I could do this with a decent amount of practice on launch party, but pretty much any other game would be a nightmare.

[@windee5714]

the fact that they are off sync by like 5 milliseconds is pure evil

The sequel

[@NGO9000]

Lockstep challenge 2

[@jessicahutton82]

One of them got the skill star

[@butthoumust8439]

My main goal when recording attempts was to get a No Miss on both. The Skill Star was just a nice bonus on top.

[@dearestreject]

So this is why people have 2 hands!

[@stikpetparty]

This is the lockstep challenge but it’s flockstep

[@yamforayam4709]

and I'm just over her not being able to get a superb on it💀

[@mr_boskusman]

Now do Lockstep

[@jevilthechaostailor]

Now do the jumpin' jazz challenge.

[@dabluepipe]

this would be SO much easier with simple tap on lol

[@butthoumust8439]

I prefer the more exact control with pressing and releasing the buttons, but whatever works for you.

[@Anton77130]
