EDIT: There's a better Score Attack route for the PS4 version of Future Tone. I may plan on redoing this some time in the future.
My favourite song in Extreme has a high-score attack route albeit a lot more complicated than it seems. Steps as follows:
1. After grabbing the Triangle + Circle Double Hold at combo 11, hit the following two Circle notes as WRONG to get the Double Hold Max Bonus from this hold.
2. Grab the Circle Hold note, hit the following two Circle notes as WRONG and eventually combine it with an incoming Square Hold note into a Double Hold. Hit any Square or Circle notes as WRONG the Double Hold Max Bonus displays.
3. After grabbing the Triangle + Cross Double Hold at combo 28, hit the following two Cross notes and Triangle note as WRONG for this Double Hold to give max bonus.
4. Then grab the Triangle + Square + Cross Triple Hold and press all following notes (including non-Circle notes as WRONG) with Circle until the Triple Hold gives max bonus (right before the Square + Circle Multi-Hold note.
5. Grab the Square + Circle Multi-Hold note and hit the following three Circle notes as WRONG to get the max bonus from the Double Hold which occurs right before the two Cross notes (which the second one is a Hold note).
6. Grab the Cross Hold note, combine it with the incoming Square and Triangle Hold notes into a Triple Hold and like Step 4, hit all following notes with Circle to get max bonus (occurs right before two more Cross notes which second one is a Hold note).
7. Grab the Cross Hold note and hit a WRONG on the following Cross note to get max bonus (occurs right before the Quadruple Muti-Hold note).
8. Grab the said Multi-Hold note and skip all notes until the fourth Cross note to get max bonus.
9. Hold switch from Triangle Hold to Square Hold at combo 11.
10. Play as normal until combo 121 (where we currently have a Square + Cross Double Hold. Hit any following Square or Cross notes as WRONG to get max bonus from this hold (occurs right before two Triangle notes where the second one is a Hold note.
11. Grab the Triangle Hold and combine it with the following Cross and Square + Circle Multi-Hold note into a Quadruple Hold. Skip the incoming Quadruple Multi-Note, a Circle and a Triangle note to get max bonus from this hold.
12. This step is particularly tricky to do; after grabbing the Square Hold note at combo 10, the Circle Hold note that will be combined with the Square hold into a Double Hold after combo 17 needs to be hit with an early SAFE rating. The hit all incoming Square and Circle notes as WRONG until the max bonus is granted from this Double Hold which occurs right after hitting a WRONG on the first of the three overlapping Square notes.
13. Grab the Circle Hold note at combo 15, hit the following two Circle notes as WRONG then, hit the Cross + Circle Multi-Hold note as ALMOST and grab the Triangle + Square Multi-Hold note (to combine with our previous Circle hold into a Triple Hold), then hit all following notes with Cross until max bonus is granted.
14. Grab the Triangle + Circle Hold, hit the following three Triangle notes as WRONG, then grab the Square + Cross Multi-Hold to combine into a Quadruple Hold then skip all notes until the third Triangle where max bonus is given.
15. Finally, grab the Square + Circle Multi-Hold note, hit the following Square note as WRONG but hit the last three Quadruple Multi-notes correctly.
Should have a max combo of 121, 1 SAFE and 67 WRONG/MISS/ALMOST if done correctly.
Currently In the lead for now with this strat.
