Let me help you understand how braindance actually works in the game (this comes up a lot because it seems like it'd be a cool feature). Unfortunately, you can't use it to replay those epic boss encounters - the system is actually designed for investigation work, not combat replay. When you're working with judy's bd tools, you're mainly analyzing pre-recorded experiences from other people, looking for clues and important details across different sensory layers.

Think of it like this: while you might want to relive that intense fight with adam smasher, the whole bd system is built around being a detective tool (which makes sense given v's line of work). The apartment bd viewing that came with phantom liberty is pretty neat, but that's just for watching specific scripted scenes.

Here's something interesting - while some folks have tried making mods for boss replays in other games, it's not really possible with bds because of how the engine handles these encounters. In the game's world, combat recordings actually only show up as those dangerous xbds everyone warns you about, not something v can actually use.

If you're looking to practice combat, you might want to try taking on some similar-tier cyberpsychos instead - they often use comparable attack patterns
