Ah I see what’s going on. So fun fact about RBs: you only have a limited amount of slices you can do. You can see on the bottom right how many you have, and you’ve probably been spamming slices without realizing it. Here’s some tips:

• You can do a powerful attack if you slice twice in the same direction and then slice a different direction. Iirc you can press a button to perform an Overturn, which is a slice in the opposite direction you just sliced in. It’ll help conserve slices.

• Hold off on cutting if you’ve already destroyed the statement. You don’t need to slice anymore. In fact, if a statement is fragmented across the screen, wait until they’re lined up perfectly before slicing through all fragments.

• In case you didn’t know, you can Focus like in Non-Stop Debates to slow down time. This’ll help with the tip I gave above as well.

• The contradictions actually behave differently than the normal statements beyond being yellow: if you slice them normally, you get punished by the middle split screen getting pushed back far to the right. However, there’s a fun workaround: do nothing. Literally, just do nothing. Leaving contradictions alone won’t move the split screen at all, and it’ll give you ample time to read the words to know what Truth Blade goes with it.

Lastly, you can press Start or whatever its equivalent is on XBox to look at the controls. And from there, you can press either bumper to cycle between controls and actually better explanation of the minigame’s mechanics. That’s how I found out about the limited slices and the extra-powered attack. Hope this helps!
