i don't think it resets, but it does when you get hit...

Firstly, there really isn't a strategy for this, but to stop anxiously pressing away at the button waiting for the bolts to strike, I kept them busy by running around in a circle in a three-strike area. I found that to be an easier solution. Also, if you keep count, pause the game after 50 strikes or so and take a 1-minute break. Relax your eyes by looking around the room and defocus your vision from the television.

Secondly, yes, it does reset if you return to the inn and/or get hit by a bolt.

Lastly, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from using the term 'gay' in a derogatory manner. Being homosexual myself, I tend to find such use of the word to be offensive.

i'm wondering, will it reset when you save the game??

Hmm... I'm not sure of that one. As far as I know, it only resets if you are striken, or you go to the inn. You may just have a brilliant idea on your hands... but don't quote me on that, because I'm not sure. Try and see.

i'm already trying that... i'm at 70 strikes now.... 130 more to go..... heehee.... and also, if you leave the area, does it reset?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Yes, your "consecutive dodged strikes" total is reset if you save your game. I learned the hard way.
