29 combo - ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the unknown.

Take what you know about Over the Period and more than Triple it ;)

Video soon.

Edit: Here's the video. Over 40 Seconds of song revealed.

---

WELLLLL then.

---

Very impressive sir, keep it up! Why do I have a feeling there will be a 400 BPM speed-up to throw at us?

Congrats!

Really loving the song so far.

Oh my god, that song sounds so damn good so far. Congratulations, DrD. You truly are the combo king.

---

Well, done, Dr.D! The song sounds pretty cool so far. And now we await Zowayix's observations and mathematics...

---

Nice job! I don't like the song, though.

---

Amazing Dr.D! Really liking the song so far, thanks for showing us so much more of it!

---

You got the beat.
You got the song.
You can't do no wrong.

Song sounds surprisingly good, definitely sounds like a 'final boss'.

---

What I'm observing seem to imply that the 8ths afterwards follow the rhythms of the 12ths.

From this to this is 6 frames.


From this to the next receptor "blink" (receptors "blink" on 8ths instead of 4ths for this song) also took 6 frames.


So, some of the following 8ths are actually 200bpm 12ths...

---

Do you know what's really worrying

Over 40 seconds into the song, and he has only hit 28% of the arrows

The ending of this basic chart is going to have a LOT of arrows.

---

Is it just me or does the song kinda sound similar to Nephalim Delta?

So can it be confirmed if where I got the great was in fact at a slow down? I know I felt like a slow down just happened when I got the great cause which is why I mentioned the next gimmick. I felt on sync with 200 still so it would explain a lot if there is in fact a slow down there. If there is, any way to predict the BPM?

I might try again on Wednesday and hopefully I can keep getting farther like I have seemed to be doing so far but I hope for some more info on the song first.

---

the BPM is most likely 150bpm. just follow the 12ths' rhythm just before that and you ought to be fine.

---

You can see the targets flash twice right after the Great, and 11 frames pass between them. With only the duration of 1 beat visible it's hard to pinpoint anything, but it bounds the BPM between 150 and 180 (harmonic average ~164 or so). Slowdown gimmick confirmed.
And of course, this is another gimmick that would only really screw you up if you were going for a PFC and not an FC. Konami...

@Silverhawke: Those would be the equivalent of 200 bpm "6ths", not 12ths (which implies 3 per beat instead of 3 spaced over 2 beats).

Song is sounding good, tho the intro has like nothing to do with it

Update:

So I said I wouldn't count pixels earlier, but in this case the faster speed makes it worthwhile.



The doubled images reflect the 30fps camera trying to keep track of a 60fps screen, so the distance between the lines shows how far they move in 1/60 second.

On the left, from before the slowdown, the arrow moves 18 pixels. On the right, it only moves 12 pixels. Of course there's double the room for rounding error, in both in the drawing of the lines and in the camera exposure itself, but assuming the part before the slowdown is exactly 200bpm, the part after the slowdown is bounded between 115 and 153bpm.

Looks like Silverhawke's guess of 150 BPM (the 8ths have the same timing as the 12ths right before them) is pretty accurate.

WOW, good job Dr.D. Really enjoying the song but man I fear the latter of this chart.

you guys are really overthinking this
