@BenBrocka I'm too busy spamming A to see how much extra damage it does.

Ben Brocka

17:35

I mostly played on speedup though and timing is impossible like that, so it's totally possible to play and win without rhythm. And I never found the beat reliably even when I tried at normal speed

badp

It's a problem I'm having too, although the different controller might be to blame there

mostly I don't understand if the A button press that starts your attack should also be in sync with the hidden rhythm.
