Limen

the secret recipe is to be cool and fun

you don't need to have any specific version as we just share our scores in the discord server. basically, you're matched with a player, choose a song, play at the same time and then report back with the score to determine winner of the match. its an honor system but its all for fun anyways

also, it might help to learn to use the timing circles
especially for that part
maybe try watching a slowed down video too

those shadows arent as fast as you think they are
they're fast, yes, but no where near as fast as their distance apart makes it seem lol
its the reason why a lot of people screw it up

everything will be unlocked. most of the avatar parts will be as well, since you'll still be able to customize them for the cutscenes

If i respond on discord it shows up there right? lol

For the doubles/triples, there's no sound indicator that makes it obvious when you should be doing them, it's just memorization(and sometimes cheesing it). The way I play blindfolded is just to play a song section by section until i memorize it all, then try to execute it properly with the blindfold on. For example I might play until the halfway point with the star targets, then restart the song a few times to memorize each segment up to that point, THEN blindfold and try to execute it up to that point. Then repeat the process for the second half of the song and then try doing it all together.

As far as cheesing strats that work both with and without blindfold: if I have a section that I don't remember exactly but I know alternates between single/double, I'll just hit both shoulder buttons at the same time to the beat and it usually works lol. The only time it doesnt is if the notes are close enough together to mess up the next few notes with Misses. For example, in the ending of Vector I didn't remember the pattern exactly so I just mashed both shoulder buttons and got through it. But for All For One co op, me doing that in the middle segment messed things up bc it registered as me hitting the next note too soon
