Boss timing
Hey,

So I have no problem with the main levels, and am very familiar with rhythm games from years of step mania and Osu!

However I can't seem to find the right timing for boss fights....

I see the arrows appear and the circle shrink (like Osu) but it finished well before the circle hits the arrow, and she attacks...

and pressing the direction while its shrinking before then ALSO seems to fail...

so I just can't understand what the timing is supposed to be to work on it...

help appreciated!!!

Which boss are you talking about?
I maybe figured it out, like a move up, down, up, down and meanwhile the attack up button starts to apear the boss get your dodge and your attack at the same time.

I think I figured out what was happening, possibly a bug.

When I tried I was only being shown 1 direction indicator and I was failing before it fully closed on the direction note.

After reloading I am now seeing 2 direction indicators, one gets pressed first then the other one just after.

I think the one that I had to hit first was invisible for some reason the first time (bug) so i wasn't hitting the first arrow (cos I couldn't see it) and that was what was confusing me as seeing the second direction fail when the circle hadn't closed was confusing me.

You were playing on Hard the first time, and then accidentally switched to Normal the second time.

On Hard, they hide the bosses "Attack Arrows" so you have to rely on reading their poses.


**I made the same mistake myself.

Yup, just realized that is what happened...
The worst part Is I read the warnings saying I was on Hard and that the boss worked different, I don't think I understood or didn't absorb that information that I read.
