Hi-Fi Rush QA-1mil hitless guide

Are you playing Hi-Fi, and wondering how to beat this guy hitless well here’s how!

Damaging: The tactic is to abuse peppermint and have her on field constantly, when QA’s hands fall use all assist and use beat hits and or any high power special you have (hibiki, overdrive slash, cat attack etc).

Dodging: for this double jump and dash over the hand swipes and lasers later on. DO NOT BREAK HIS FACE, if you are not good at jump dodging at the right time then this will cause you trouble if you’re going for hitless so focusing on damage is the best

I will be making more hitless guides for the later bosses as I beat them! If this helps anyone happy to help

Hi Fi Rush Special Moments

Decided to compile all the special action scenes. Or at least what I THINK is all of them. I have a feeling I missed some.

I'm surprised not every boss has a special kill hit. I noticed Mimosa's at first and went back and was surprised that I couldn't find one for Roquefort, Korsica, and Zanzo. Though technically Zanzo does have those kinda special scenes where I think it's a Jo-Jo reference (which I was going to add here but decided against).

Also sorry for the kinda bad quality for Kale's finisher pictures. They happen so fast I had to record my gameplay and then try to slow down the video and take screenshots of the moments (Chai's moment was the hardest because there's only a split second where his chat box isn't on screen at the time).

Vandelay Tech bosses aligned with the Seven Deadly Sins. While I did pick Korsica's out of elimination, facets of Envy often include insecurities of one's gifts and need to prove oneself to others, which she did display.

Quick question about Hi-Fi Rush: How many people did Vandelay kill?

Chai was one of the first to recieve Armstrong implants. How many were before him? Did they shut it down after he... "defected"? How many came after him?

How many of those were defects? How many of those reached QA before Chai went to take down Rekka?

Rekka was ready to kill. QA-1MIL was ready to kill. Did they get a chance to?

GOD.

H. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DIDNT EXPECT AN S RANK FR. hgbkdjfljsdlk. i am NOT good at hi fi rush (getting just timing specifically.) but i was attempting to get the 30x multiplier power up tower up challenge. and did not realize that the timing did not matter here. i think. the multiplier is what determines your rank.... bruh..... BUT AAAAAAAAAAA I DID IT I S RANKED POWER UP TOWER UP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

this was literally the previous attempt skdjfhkjdllk. i wasnt trying to the high score on this i was focusing on clearing the partner power up tower up challenge. so my score is shit. but *points*. look at my highest combo tho. going ham.

Me, fellow Chai has ADHD truther, seeing your tags: YOU. 🎤 Keep talking?

YEAAAAA 🤝🤝🤝 im on my phone rn so this is gonna be kinda disorganized but just shooting off the cuff:

bro stims Constantly. the lil mimicking drum noises sounds he makes during the cutscene where he runs into QA-1MIL? stimming. leg bouncing while hes sitting? stimming. i also like to think he drums his fingers/hands on tables and stuff when he's trying to think thru something.

he can go from 0 to 60 back to 0 and it all depends on whether his brain decides to cooperate with him that day. he straight up just Cant do anything he isnt interested in doing (i mean. he could. but it'll take him a hell of a lot longer to do it than a normal person would) but he'll gladly pour hours into something if it catches his attention

he spaces out a lot 👍 i mean this is kinda canon already cause of the lil tutorial cut-ins which is REALLY funny but i think he just does that in general

forgetful as HELL but honestly doesnt mean to be. mac's probably suggested that he should write stuff down but lets be honest he'd probably forget where he put those notes anyway 😭

crashes down through the ceiling tiles

- "hibiki" comes from the name of chai's favorite action-rhythm game where you play as a rebel taking down a corrupt corporation :^) his belt chain thing was a preorder bonus

- both peppermint and macaron are vegetarian

- peppermint and chai became roommates after the events of the game

- chai's right arm injury is monoparesis caused by a stroke he had sometime in high school, treatment was ineffective at helping him regain his motor skills so he sought out project armstrong

- it's implied the game took place over a day or two at most, but i like to stretch it to four because it just seems way too short to me. i could see chai doing some of the fights while sleep deprived, but not all of them

day 1: most of the early day is just chai getting through all the armstrong onboarding stuff, QA-1MIL and rekka are fought in the afternoon. him and peppermint have to lay low for the rest of the day because she knows kale will be looking for her with security drones now

day 2: chai sneaks into R&D in the early morning, is captured by the afternoon, and it's night by the time him and korsica are taken to the hideout

day 3: him and korsica are recovering for pretty much the whole day so it isn't until the evening that they go after mimosa

day 4: chai sneaks through production late night/early morning (this is outlined ingame so this part isn't really a headcanon) and it takes the whole day to get to roquefort and then kale

HAII i enjoy this assortment of headcanons nods nods but i especially enjoy the last one!! i never really did register how long the story is in the game now that i think about it... but i'll get to that!

(1) DUDE i have seen plenty of people argue for a different headcanon that hibiki is either the name of a band or the name of a fashion brand but i have not heard of this angle!! do you think this also explains his shoes or 808's collar though... bc if it does, i totally think at one point post game, chai and peppermint find out they like the same game and it actually ends up being something that brings them closer

(2) but also do you think it counts as cannibalism if peppermint has peppermint candy/tea and macaron has a macaron though LOL

(3) WHY NOT EVERYONE COWARD... /j lh ... but actually though i totally think it would hit home for chai to solidify that sense of belonging somewhere because i think he's been a drifter / loner for most of his life. FOUND FAMILY FOR THE WIN

(4) you are so big of brain, asker!! i LOVE seeing people's takes on how chai's disability came to be. i will be shelving this one away in my brain nods nods

(5) OKAY i ended up scrubbing through the game cutscenes while i was on break at work and like. DUDE i had no idea the story progressed so quickly LMAO. it really does seem like... it all took place somewhere between 24-36 hours?? Peppermint really worked Chai to the bone as the field man dude holy shit LMFAOOO bro probably crashed and slept like 15 hours after all that. i will be adopting this, BUT... how long do you think it would take if you also include the second arc / the secret SPECTRA doors + the underground lab? i personally think it would take an extra week since they're. really difficult sobs

mashup to mix the two different QA-1MIL boss songs into one

Songs:

[stinklebug]

remember that character tier list i made a few months ago? well, i decided to go back and update it to include the rest of the robots, because, in hindsight, including QA-1MIL and then none of the others was kind of weird and unfair.

so now the rest of the bots are there! with only a couple of exceptions. the ones i didn't include were just ones that are Exactly The Same as another bot, though, outside of looking a bit different

here's my updated list! :]

Hi Fi Rush Turnarounds: Part 3

Had some difficult times making each of these fit onto single pages (looking at you ARM-D11 and QA-1MIL) but it was worth it! This is also the smallest batch because I am going in order of in game list and this was a good breaking point.
