Blockhead grande(kamui) completely broken?

[Nintony]

I'm pulling my hair out over this bundle of sticks, i've even tried recording the weak points with my phone and dotting them in the EXACT locations, pinpoint accurate. Yet the game doesn't seem to register any of the dots even when all 8 of them are correct. Any trick to beating this very broken part?

And it's pretty much impossible if you're me :P I can play Dark Souls from start to finish with a broken sword and no healing, but The Ultimate Blockhead Grande defeats me everytime.

I just reached Kamui . . . Now I know what all the fuss is about. Looks like I'll have to record. I want to do it without cheating---and I did get part of it right at least once---but I'm not sure many people can memorize a lengthy (compared to the other Blockheads) random sequence of dots at that speed. I tip my hat to anyone who can.

If only it weren't randomized!

I succeed doing it once without recording, but not sure if I'll ever got it again though. Probably record my attempt once I reach him again, but my face is ugly lol.

My only tip would be remembering 8 dots as 4 lines (1st to 2nd dot, 3rd to 4th dot, etc.), makes it less menacing for me. And ofc, it's on 4x4 grid, predicting dots is a bit safer once you know that.

But then again, not everyone can do that, and it was probably just luck for me. Just resort to the rcording method instead.

I'll try the line idea a few times before giving in and recording. It sounds workable, especially if the game cooperates and displays a pattern that looks like something (one of my earlier attempts looked kind of like a house, somehow).

For now, I'll probably finish up story business in Kamui and then worry about the beads. I still have to beat a few of the Ida and Hayate races and that kimono art sidequest. Oh, and the devil gate trials.

Even when playing this game the first time in 2006 on PS2, we recorded it. It was hard to get a device to record it on, but it was the only way for my cousins and me to defeat that stupid block head grande. Now, years later, when playing it on PC, I immediately took out my phone and hit 'record' when I saw him. No questions asked. XD

The reason why this is so hard is because the average human mind can only memorize 6 things in 3 seconds. But since Blockhead Grande requires you to remember 8 spots in that timespan, your brain isn't able to fully process and recall it.
