WOOD CHOPPING THREAD

[Dietsoap]

post wood chopping high scores, wood chopping strats & tactics, wood chopping pro videos, organize international wood chopping tournaments, etc etc. For the life of me I have no clue how to get the "Very Nice!" in the wood chopping game.

My highest score was 82 I believe. I have got “very nice” and “excellent” which kicks in another retro tune. At first I thought you could cheese the mini-game by immediately striking but unless it’s a thin log you are unlikely to score highly.

It’s simplistic but there’s some depth there.

Most I've got is 106(?)... so far.

I managed to eyeball a sweet spot to induce fever mode 1 and 2, and stay there until the end of the session. Can definitely bump the score higher.

112. I'm the champ! Everybody praise me!

Goddamn it. Just after I beat my personal best with 111, haha.

 

[Willom]

112 too. Didn't miss any. I feel like 113 is possible with very good timing.

I'm sure I saw on Twitter one person got 123, it's on the Shenmue 3 Twitter Page

the only way i think that could be possible is if getting "EXCELLENT!!" adds a bit of time.

Since yesterday I've never even got an "Excellent" in any of my playthroughs

There is a second fever mode with more different music or what? Have yet to reach that.

Yes, if you get an "Excellent!" rating on one of your chops.

EDIT- Never thought I'd be in a position to tell BlueMue something he didn't know about Shenmue

 

[BlueMue]

Well, we're all learning with Shenmue III.

 

[Willom]

I got multiple excellents and still got 112.

 

[You Arcade]

I have never once got an "Excellent" lol. What do you need to do to get that? Not sure what I can be doing differently.

If i ever reached anywhere near 60, i would be suprised cause man, i suck at this minigame lol.

Just got my first EXCELLENT and my new highest score of 133 (previous was 107 I think). I could be wrong, but I think VERY GOODs and EXCELLENTs add to your wood chop count.

 

[Sheephead]

First try of the day and I got 109. I let it go back and forth a few times as well as I didn't want to break my chain and mess up the music. Managed to not miss a single one. Haven't got an excellent yet, but if Dietsoap is right and it adds to chop count, then it's better to take your time.

I am going to record a bunch and will go back and count if it adds to the stack count if you get excellent (if I manage to get an excellent that is lol).

 

[Dietsoap]

WHEWW 140

But yeah I'm pretty sure I didn't actually chop 140 logs. Excuse the grafx, had it on low settings so my povertybox could give me dat 60fps competitive wood chopping edge.

Or even "just" a VERY GOOD. I think they're both adding more than 1 to your chop count.

 

[pilman]

I got 107

 

[BlueMue]

What method are you all using to time your chops? I got the hang of when to press for a general hit alright, but still find it hard how to judge where the ideal position is for a Very Good, let alone an Excellent, wich I still haven't gotten.
