RoseChevalier 11/14/22 6:00:53 PM #31:	ChaosTonyV4 posted... wtf how does this work for jumps and hazards? with a 3 second swap you can get a rhythm going, especially since MOST of the time you're holding right. If you ever need to not hold right for a particularly hard part (heat man jump puzzle for example) you really need to just stand still on the other games and focus on waiting for the one game to pop up... our Shuffle Time Challenge is every 5-25 seconds, so you have no idea how long you'll have. Thus, it can behoove you to wait before a long jump or timing section until the game shuffles away and comes back so you can make sure you at least have 5 seconds. --- I'm Rose Coldsteel, from Legend of Coldsteel <cite>RoseChevalier posted [p:969429134] in Have you e...
