HMPDFT: Disruptive Diva EXTREME - Score ATK (654,126)
Twitter: / just_tpm
My first time doing a "Score Attack" (Score ATK) since the aim is to get a high score after all lol). Basically a "score attack" means to play the rhythm game in Project DIVA Future Tone where the objective is to get a high score where it involves performing certain steps in the chart which gives a higher score than getting a Perfect (even higher than an all COOL Perfect, in fact). In other words, not getting a Perfect such as intentionally skipping notes or hitting notes incorrectly to make way for holds in certain parts is the way to go.
This chart in particularly has very interesting steps which I followed from the following video and will list them below: ( • Project Diva ARCADE 崩壊歌姫-disruptive d... )
1. After hitting and holding Quadruple Multi-note at combo 8, skip the next three Circle notes for Quadruple Hold to max out.
2. Hit the following Cross notes (holding the third one) then with the following three Square notes, hold-switch with the third Square note (release Cross single hold then hold the Square note).
3. Hit the following three Circle notes (hold the third Circle note for Square + Circle double hold) then with the following three Cross notes, hit them and hold-switch to the third Cross note (release Square + Circle double hold then hold the single Cross note).
4. Hit the following three Square notes (hold down the third Square note to combine with the single Cross hold into a Square + Cross double hold). Then at the Cross note hit it as WRONG with a Circle or Triangle (we don't want to hit the Cross note with the correct button or the double hold we currently have will be lost), then hold down the Triangle at the end of that sequence of notes to combine it with our current double hold into a triple hold. Continually hit the following Square and Cross notes as WRONG with just Circle notes so that the triple hold maxes out.
5. At combo 218 (where we currently have a Square + Cross double hold), hold-switch to the single Circle note hold.
6. From combo 350 (where we currently have a Triangle + Square + Cross triple hold); hit every non-Circle note WRONG with Circle for the triple hold to max out (which occurs before the last Square note and hit that last Square note correctly).
7. From the single Circle hold, hold-switch to the Triangle + Square + Cross triple hold. Then like with last step, hit every non-Circle note as WRONG by hitting Circle to max out triple hold (which occurs before the two Triangle notes and Cross hold note).
8. At combo 9 (where we have a Cross + Circle double hold), hit the following two Cross notes as WRONG with either the Triangle or Square button to maintain the double hold. Then with the following four Square notes, hit the last Square (hold) note with Triangle (do not want to combine it with the on-going double hold).
9. With the following three Circle notes and Triangle hold, hit the three Circle notes as WRONG and combine the Triangle hold into a Triangle + Cross + Circle triple hold.
10. At combo 10 (where we have a Triangle + Square double hold from previous step), hit the two Triangle notes as WRONG with Cross or Circle button and the Cross note as normal. Combine the Circle hold note into a Triangle + Square + Circle triple hold and hit every non-Cross note as WRONG with Cross button for this triple hold to max out (where this occurs just right before the Quadruple Hold Multi-Note appearing in a trapezium formation.
11. After combo 7 (where we have a Square + Cross + Circle triple hold), skip the following Triangle hold note and hit the following two Circle notes as WRONG with Triangle button where the triple hold maxes out at this time.
12. After combo 5 (where we have a Square + Cross + Circle triple hold), hit every following note with Triangle button to max out the triple hold which finishes after hitting the third Circle note as WRONG.
13. Finally, at combo 26 (where we have a single Triangle hold), hold-switch to the following single Square hold note.
Should have a max combo of 352, and a MISS/WRONG/ALMOST count of 58 if done correctly.
...Yeah I know, it's a very mind-boggling procedure with lots of steps lol but I'm positive that the majority of the other charts probably don't have that many steps.
I'm quite happy with this (for now) and at the time of recording, I'm no. 1 on the English version leaderboards with this strategy even though it probably isn't my best attempt and I'm pretty sure that the better players of this game can easily top this one out so I'll just enjoy my lead while it lasts lol
I'm well aware that the EX Extreme chart of this song also has a high-score attack procedure like this (potential high score higher than all COOL-Perfect). Dunno if I want to try that out yet.
