I Wanna Be The Music 2 - シュレーディンガーの猫 [INFINITE] PERFECT

I went into this grind expecting it to be similar to Splatter Fate or EX Entrance. I was about as wrong as I could have been.

The experience of playing Schrodinger's Cat started as a pretty chill thing but slowly evolved into both an extremely unlucky and extremely brutal experience. It started with mental blocks on prefinal which prevented me from reaching final much at all early, and evolved into exceptionally bad luck on the final attack which broke my heart so many times. The fight is mostly dominated by 3 attacks. The 8 way attack is extremely dense and can give you some very difficult situations. It's easy to get overwhelmed and make a mistake or just get sniped or walled with enough bad luck. Prefinal is very awkward to read and my consistency varied a lot, some days it was consistent and others I just couldn't pass it. Final is the ultimate luck check, you need to get exceptionally good luck to pass it and in some scenarios play well. The one I got was super easy but I had so many close calls or runs with barely not enough good luck to pass it, I died 58 times, which for my consistency felt very unlucky but considering how much Dopeidomazi died, maybe it's more average than expected.

I went through hell on this grind, I've never felt so demotivated with something before. My consistency was so up and down, I kept having the clear taken away at the last possible moment, I kept having runs that would have been no hits if it wasn't to some stupid mistake on invis kid or corners. Basically anything bad that could have happened to me so many times. I wanted to prove to myself I could do it though, that I could stick with such a brutal grind, and I'm insanely proud of myself for doing it.

The fight difficulty wise is at least harder than Touhikea, and maybe Longhena Cantata as well although it's hard to say because I truly don't know how unlucky I got. In terms of the experience I had it's without a doubt the most I've struggled with anything video game related.

Lastly I wanna shout out some people.

KiyoshiWJ and TheJPEGDemon provided lots of emotional support throughout the grind. My two best friends, without them I probably would have struggled even more.

Mir, Kai, DragonXPlayer, and RomRom all watched a significant amount of the grind and made casually playing the fight way more fun.

Mastermaxify was very invested in the grind throughout which was very nice, along with many other people who shared support in IWC and Max's Server.

And finally ドペイド (Dopeidomazi) who beat this avoidance while I was grinding it. Their Music 2 grind has been a big inspiration for me and I think they are one of the most awesome players in fangames right now. They have insane determination and I have huge amounts of respect for them. Their support as well was very motivating. I'm excited to see what they do in the future.
