Pattern Simplification and Cheese
Table of Contents
General Patterns
Triple Stairs
For patterns like this, you can chord/trill the notes to make it easier.
It is important to note that it is better to chord it with outwards instead of inwards. Meaning, you should chord the last 2 notes not the first 2. For a deeper explaination see Mini Note.
A common example might be I MXM 20 , where you can do this.
Example Charts
- BAYONEX MXM 19 Measures 130-132
- Absolute Domination MXM 19 Measures 50-51
- Xroniàl Xéro MXM 19 Measures 80-87
Spaced Out Chords
Chords spaced out like these you can press all BT and FX buttons. There is no error for pressing the wrong button.
Example Charts
- BEAST BASS BOMB MXM 18 Measures 1-11
- Fire Storm MXM 18 Measures 1-6
Cross Lasers
These lasers can be simplifed to a simple in and out motion like this.
Example Charts
- XROSS INFECTION GRV 19 Measures 43, 45, 47-48, 81-82
- MAYHEM MXM 20 Measures 273-280
- Everlasting Message GRV 19 Measures 80-81, 108-109
Wiggle Lasers
Certain Curve Wiggles can be cheesed by just going one direction on the knob. You can’t go too fast or too slow with the knob. Generally, you want to go slower than how you would normally turn it.
Crawl Out Immortal Laser
Crawl Out Immortal MXM 18 This one speed doesn’t really matter and is more lenient

Specific Charts
Xronièr MXM 20
Intro and Outro
This pattern can be simplifed in two ways. For a UC with a good amount of nears, you can do this.
The number of nears you get will depend on when you are timing your hits, but even if you are perfect, you will guarantee a near on the fx most likely.
Full Crit
For a full crit method, you can do this.
FX BT Chords in center
For the chords in the chorus, you can chorded them like this for a UC
Everlasting Message GRV 19
If it makes it easier to read, you can hit the Everlasting Message GRV 19 FX chords like this.
赫焉 MXM 19
The ending chords on 赫焉 MXM 19 can be chorded like this for a UC.
NEMSYS ARENA World Hexathlon MXM 20
The intro BT FX chord stream on NEMSYS ARENA World Hexathlon MXM 20 can be chorded like this for a UC.
HE4VEN MXM 20
The middle chords on HE4VEN MXM 20 can be chorded for a UC. This will give a lot of nears.
Wiggleing
For every single laser in the game, you can “wiggle” your way through them. This involves rapidly moving the knob from left to right like you are doing a Hynea. This works because how the laser engines works. There is a lot of “leeway” when it comes to laser and you are able to go off the lasers for a bit before it counts as a error. There is also a “Locked On” mechanism that makes it harder for your laser to go off the laser after it is locked in. If you rapidly go back and forth, you will lock on to the laser, go off, turn back and lock back onto the laser, and repeat.
Anmitsu
Anmitsu is a way of “cheeseing” patterns into chords or other things to make it easier to hit. This is done by abusing the timing window in voltex. For example, the most popular one is the Xroniàl MXM Intro and Outro Anmitsu. Most of the other specific chart pattern simplifications are also Anmitsu. This is similar to “manip” in other rhythm games like Osu Mania.
There can be different ways to Anmitsu a pattern to get all crits or nears. For example, the Xroniàl MXM All Crit and the Xroniàl MXM UC. These are both Anmitsu on the same pattern but do it differently to give more or less crits.
While sometimes you can Anmitsu for all crit, it is more common to get nears during Anmitsu.
There is a Anmitsu calculator that can tell you by how much margin you have to hit and get a crit or a near depending on the chart. You can enter the BPM and the dividing notes (16th, 24th, etc.) and see where you need to press and how much time you have.
