Mirroring my notes from the demo

  • No skippable cutscenes at the start, I hope that changes in the final version.
  • Dialogues with voices can only be mashed with A, which is awkward. Dialogues with no voices are mashable with A and B. You can mash VERY fast.
  • I don't think there's any difference between JP/EN voices for now, there's a dialogue at the end of day 2 that waits for the voice line to play but I did one run with each and I saved less than a second in the EN run to better mashing.
  • Neutral Groove Attack (whatever they are called) is really good, you can charge another one pretty easily using the multi strikes during it. Fire Groove Attack is also pretty good as a nuke and easy to obtain. I still have no idea how to switch between them though lmao.
  • Fret's "remind" minigames are always the same directions, so they are easy to learn.
  • I didn't have too much strategy tested in fights but both bosses are weak to fire. Pyrokinesis AKA Firestorm is pretty weak for the gorilla but it racks up Groove very fast. The fire sword pin you get after MKN is ideal for gorilla, the rabbit blast pin would also be great but I think Noise fights are not random and I haven't found any ravens in the way, so not worth it, I think.
  • Using Minamimoto's default pin and letting it evolve is better than changing to ice pillar. I had Rindo use sword pins all the way (Shockwave -> D2 mission -> MKN fire sword) and changed Fret from Force Rounds to Firestorm to the other force rounds pin, but maybe he can use something else instead.

Found a pretty fast and consistent strat for the Scorpion!

Farming groove with no risk by using Minamimoto to stun it, then getting Fire Groove with Fret which deals a TON of damage, and the rest reboot as it hits for the last hits
