No flawless if you play at the start of some songs

[knotty night]

I got 100% flawless on a song (heat waves), however it still gave me 21 strikes for playing "blank" notes before the first note was shown. I still got max score, but didn't get the flawless tag

Note: on some songs, if you play blank notes, it'll just not count until it's too close to the first note

Bro... Just don't play blank notes. We've been over this in another post

it should remove the fc indicator then if thats the intended functionality

[brave snow]

yeah, i dont see the problem

just don't mash at the start lmao

the problem really is that it doesn't remove the indicator of a full combo in-game

so you could hit a key at the start accidentally, think you've gotten a flawless run, and oop, 1 strike

ive seen no one complain about that tho, everyone complains they get dozens of strikes by playing purposely, no ones complained about it happening accidentally

[haughty shuttle]

to be fair it's arguable that noodling around on the buttons before the first note or after the last note shouldn't break a flawless/FC

and that should be something relatively easy for them to check in their code, I think

[brave snow]

True tbh as the song is basically over/hasn't started.

I get why strikes are a thing tho otherwise u could probably just spam the harder songs

[haughty shuttle]

oh definitely, between the first and last note they're vital

[sacred flower]

i agree with that, but if youre that adamant about getting a flawless, just dont spam at the start. if you really need to spam at the start just use a controller thats turned off or use unbound buttons on your keyboard

the point i was trying to make was that the indicator doesnt go away, not the hitting accidentally, so you'll still have an fc indicator if you did accidentally hit a key before or after the song, and you'd not have flawless at the end, so it should go away
