GH1: Cochise - 271,036 (1st Ever Optimal) [WR]

This is probably the only optimal I will ever find in this game. Very strange situation where every path from Big Squeeze (60%/0%) to Upper Bound (100%/100%) have the same score, I'm guessing because the grace notes on act 1 (and back end of act 2) basically have no leniency in timing. Double squeezes in GH1 afaik are extended hit window (EHW) exclusive due to the game's strict dynamic hit window which basically never allows note windows to overlap, and because EHW is less powerful in this title compared to 2/80s (+2 frames instead of +3) doubles range from "very difficult" to "near impossible" depending on tempo, pattern, and execution, hence the lack of confidence finding any other optimals even on songs with no tick acts. That single dropped tick run certainly sucked (on act 3 whammy) but thankfully this didn't even take 10 minutes after. Aside from optimal it's cool to find 271k here as well.
