I've learned so much about the RNG in this game, and the fact is that it doesn't roll the same way on console as it does on emulators, so any attempt anyone makes to get a frame perfect seed load based on a metronome, sound or visual cue is in vain, because you're never going to get the same result. Very fortunate I got the seed I wanted, with minimal playthrough RNG hiccups, and button press flubs. Happy with this. Sub 3 is possible. Extremely difficult on console, but possible.
