After Bolt I'm having an actual tachycardia

[PRO100_Sasha]

You think this is a joke? But dude has died for realz.

(rofl)

In all seriousness, I did Aria low% and I find it actually fair. And even all chars low%. Unlike this. It is very unfair, considering this game is rhythm and with Bolt the music doesn't help at all. Double beat speed is such an anger source. I've never screamed at monitor so much in my life. Thoose who can beat even her low% is already transcended beings without any emotions whatsoever. Coda's are transcended gods.

I actually wanted to do all chars low% challenge, but after this button-smashing madness I'd better be off.

If you find it ,,button mashing'', then i'd advise against playing osu! ever, lol.

ikr

Honestly speaking, it's not that.. bad.The rhythm is actually more fit into Bolt than into the slower characters, and i absolutely wouldn't be able to do Aria now.

Have you tried different soundtrack remixes for Bolt? I personally prefer using Virt's, as it keeps with the double rhythm more often.

[PRO100_Sasha]

I've used FamilyJules soundtrack. I guess it's partly responsible of my rage, lol.

But imho none of soundtrack remixes actually keep up to double rhythm, only occasionaly.

I believe FamilyJules is one of the hardest soundtracks to use with double speed, because parts of it are inconsistent? I personally use Chipzel for double speed, and I find that it works rather well, but I've heard about people using Virt or OC Remix for it too!
In addition to that, I often use the metronome mod for practicing with double speed, just so I can get used to the tapping!

FamilyJules is rather inconsistent in terms of rhythm.
Try overclocked.See how much the difference goes.
Oh, and don't rage as much.Everyone started somewhere.

I'll try changing the soundtrack later, but I still highly doubt I'll go back. There's not only rhythm problems, there's also the need to actually fight while doing so problems. I had difficulties (but never anger, I enjoyed alot crawling slowly from Zone 5 completion to 4, then 3, then... well, the first time I came to Zone 2, I won lol) fighting as Aria, I guess it's too much for me to low% this supersonic nightmare.

That's fair enough! I'm having a similar problem with Coda, and it just seems to take a ton of practice, since just getting used to the double speed is already painful, let alone actually killing red dragons without immediately dying!

I recommend using Danganropa's track with Bolt. The songs are different enough that you can build a separate rhythm with them without losing the skills you've gathered playing the other characters.

My other recommendation for Bolt is a mixed bag, because it will actually hold you back if you move on to Coda. Just don't keep the rhythm. Get used to the enemies getting two turns for every one you take, avoid obsidian equipment, and progress with slow, methodical marching. The only time you should worry about full beats is when you're being attacks by swift enemies, like spirits or banshees. This is actually the same approach you'd apply playing Mary (expecting two turns for every one you take), so maybe it's not such a bad approach after all.

That just won't cut it for like one third of enemies when low%. I already did any%, it is not difficult considering there's a lot of ways to mitigate damage or avoid it altogether. But it was indeed extraordinary frustrating to me.

Honestly if you don't have health problems, bolt gets quite fun after a bit of practice.
In fact.. i had troubles with Aria because i was too used to double speed, lol.

if you think bolt is bad, try Coda.
