This one's my favorite OD path:

-First OD, skip 2 fills
-Second OD, use normally
-Third OD, skip 2 fills
-Last OD, use normally

The first 2 skips allows you to stay in OD longer through the snare/hi-hat run because of a set of white notes somewhere along there. The third OD is similar, in that it's to connect the OD with a set of white notes during the hi-hat/snare rolls. That leaves you with 2 more sets of white notes at the end, without leaving you with 1/4 OD bar, or having to skip in weird places!

After a FC, it should be ~164k.

163,873 with this path. Pretty sure I missed a squeeze. Thanks!

Nice video Gurn! As extra reference for note squeezing for this song if anyone wants:

-First OD activation is a red + bass note
-Second OD activation is a red + yellow note
-Third and last OD activations are just green + bass note

(this is using the above OD path I posted earlier)

It gave me 164,40x or something in the 400s.

during my ps2 multiple FC's of this song, i once used the exact same path, and no drum fill came after the last OD phrase. leaving me with a half bar of unused OD left at the end of the song. i was confused, and mad.

what happened?

Seems like a lot of the OD paths I use differ from PS2 users :\ I think OD placements are a lot different for the PS3/360 vs PS2.

If you are going for GS but don't care if you FC, here's something that helped me. I was going for optimal path identified by Constable (2-0-2-0) but I broke combo on one of the phrases in the part near the end with lots of reds.

If you do this, you are likely to enter the last easy part with OD ready to use. You will maximize the points you can still get if you skip 1 fill at this point and overlap the final OD phrase.

It would end up looking something like 2-0-2-1, where the third activation doesn't last as long because you screwed up an OD phrase.
