Precognition - Suggestion for alt yellow meter move / practice mode feature.
The main challenge of this game is reading the notes. The main feedback loop of the game is that you want to hit the notes. Sometimes reading a section is just not possible, the information from the game is not conveying to your brain, and you spend some yellow meter to survive it.

When I spend that meter, instead of becoming immune to HP damage, I would rather be able to see an overlay of the notes as a traditional rhythm game note highway. Instead of meeting "I can't read this part" with "I'll let you survive it but I can't help you read", the game could say "check out how it works and hit it next time". Instead of giving up on a difficult section at the height of the song's energy, I could lock in and try to stay alive / keep my combo on my own merits.

Whether this is a practice mode feature or something for a new character to use their yellow meter on, I think it'd be dope. A little bit of seeing into the future to understand how the cascade of incoming enemies will actually hit ya. A little shred of hope for established rhythm gamers who can hit notes but can't read zombies. Something to make the Impossible a little more approachable.
