★★★★☆ Method 1: (Float OR read slow) + Gear Shift
Method 1 is simpler and lets you choose between reading slow at the beginning or dropping gauge for a float.
Choose step 1 OR step 2. DO NOT DO BOTH!
- Set for 150 (set Base GN to 1.25 * GN) and read the start slow
- Read the beginning at normal speed and float once the song hits 150BPM
- During the 120BPM slowdown, gear shift down by 1 or 2
- The end of the chart should be at a readable speed. Be wary of the extra 10BPM speedup shortly after the initial one
The non-ran contains mostly white keys during the slowdown, making it helpful for a guaranteed easy gear shift.
★★★★★ Method 2: Read slow + Pre-Float
Method 2 is a lot more cumbersome and requires reading slow, however ensures that you have a perfect Green Number for the ending, which is the hardest section of the chart.
- Prepare your Base GN for the pre-float later (set Base GN to 1.5 * GN)
- Gear Shift at the beginning of the chart to
1.25 * Regular GN - Read the beginning 120BPM section slow
- Read the 150BPM section at normal speed, the gear shift at the beginning of the chart covers this change for you
- Float during the 120BPM slowdown. This will cover you for the rest of the chart.
★★★☆☆ Method 3: Read the whole thing slow
Set for 180 (set Base GN to 1.5 * Regular GN) or if you can read a little fast set for 170 (set Base GN to 1.4167 * Regular GN and just read the whole chart slow until the ending. Terrible for scoring, good for clearing if you can manage to read this slow.
