vivid/stasis - Apocalypse Call (Encore)

I am not good enough for this song. Regardless, I wanted to show it off cause the charting is, as far as I can tell, really good and not just notes go fast. Don't get me wrong, they do go fast, faster than my fingers can move sometimes, but for the most part they do appear to make sense and not simply rely on speed for difficulty. I think the only thing I got a problem with is bumper and hold note chord. It essentially requires you to press two keys at the same time, and naturally one of those keys will be pressed first, even if by a single millisecond. This means if the bumper absorbs the earlier button-press, and it also happened to be on the line with the hold note, then the latter button-press, intended for the now-clicked bumper, is in the wrong line to swap roles for the hold note, causing a miss. With normal bumpers you can just press the bumper note early and it still gives you full score, but these precise bumpers no longer make that possible. It do be a minimal quarrel though, chart is a banger
Also please don't look at the score, I know it sucks, I managed to get a 920k on the second run and I think I can maybe reach an AA in the far future if I get a good ending segment. As I said, I'm not good enough to do well, but I can still have fun with it

this’ll be a challenge of the ages, long after the apocalypse truly happens

17… well shit. Good luck to anyone who’s playing this. 💀

It's absolutely brutal, not to mention the unlock method for it is insane as well. I can definitely do better than in the video (I think my second run was 20-30k higher) but getting an AA is at the border of my skill, much less anything higher. It's just sooo fast

@ unlock method? Is it on soundscan?!

[@TNTDragon]

@miragelee9754 soundscan unlocks the Apocalypse Challenge, which (for Encore) is a gauntlet of 6 16(+) songs with a special healthbar (-10HP per miss +30HP per completed song, capped st the starting 100HP). It. Is. Brutal. By sheer luck I managed to finish the Finale version, which I do have a video of
