I can't believe that this is legit one of the hardest things I've EVER beaten in my gamer existence. This was legit harder to me than Sekiro's SS Isshin, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos, any of the Amon fights, the Mirror's Edge time trials or Max Payne 3's NYMH mode (ok, maybe not this one). I even wished I was exaggerating. Not only are the controls not as responsive as they should be here, but you basically gotta "study" this song at my age (37.... my reflexes aren't what they used to be), PLUS you get distracted. This literally took me 3 days. All the 89s I got....so damn frustrating. I barely just got 90, which was thankfully enough. NEVER AGAIN. Geez, RGG, you magnificent trolls. Anyway, time to look up who these ladies are 👀...
