東方永夜抄 ～ Imperishable Night.

[CyberAngel]

New character, new score batch, new post.



Easy - Reimu
CyberAngel - 1,911,122,050 - Cb - 0.260% - Replay (no bomb)

Could be no-miss, but had a stupid fail at Kaguya's opener. Could be no-focus, but decided to try to capture Last Spells. Still, pretty satisfied with this.



Normal - Reimu
CyberAngel - 1,773,293,350 - Cb - 0.240% - Replay

I used to think Reimu solo was one of the worse shottypes. I don't think so now. Dunno, maybe it's just all that training finally paid off. Anyway, a nice run with a good enough score. Has some panic bombs, but still not bad otherwise.



Hard - Reimu
CyberAngel - 1,575,234,070 - 6b - 0.878% - Replay

Another non-clear with a ridiculously good score.

[CyberAngel]

Final score batch for the time being.



Easy - Sakuya
CyberAngel - 2,021,165,730 - Cb - 0.342% - Replay (no bomb)

Didn't expect I'd do this good with Sakuya solo. I guess all that training wasn't for nothing.



Normal - Sakuya
CyberAngel - 1,603,640,860 - Cb - 0.353% - Replay

I did a few runs before and just couldn't get past Kaguya's final spellcard no matter how hard I tried. Then I decided to try one last time after playing through higher difficulties. Was doing better than before, but then had THREE deaths with full bombs on stage 5. Two of them to Tewi's second pattern, even though I thought I got the hang of it by now. But I kept going, and here, the last IN Normal clear I needed, one I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get.

Easy - Marisa
navpirx - 2,144,056,560 - Cb - 0,000% - replay

I... I don't know what to think. On one hand, I managed to improve my Reimu score by nearly 140 million. On the other hand, I failed a total of four spells, including two of Kaguya's last spells. That's, what, over 100 million lost right there? And Stage 2 was subpar in general. So it was a potentially 2.25 billion run, maybe even a bit more than that. At least I know I can reach 2.2 billion (my initial goal) with more luck better playing in some crucial moments.

It's annoying, really, because compared to my practice runs, I did rather well in stage portions, but the failed spells did me in. Back to practicing Stage 6 where everything fell apart, I guess.

Easy - Marisa
navpirx - 2,157,824,990 - Cb -  0,000% - replay

I guess it's an... improvement. Still something wrong with Stage 2 though, and two very costly mistakes in Stage 6 again - Buddha's Stone Bowl and the final last spell - denied me 2.2 billion. Way too many panic bombs, too.

Easy - Marisa
Karisa - 2,311,742,930 - Cb - 0.000% - Replay

Maybe watching this would help? I don't know. I didn't exactly practice here-- it's basically just a (mostly) no-focus run full of silly mistakes.

[redlakitu]

Easy - Marisa
navpirx - 2,248,473,370 - Cb - 0.000% - replay

Maybe watching this would help?

It did! I found out the point where your run becomes significantly better than mine and here's the result: my initial scoring goal achieved handily.

That said, I'm still not fully satisfied with my score. Stage 1 is outright awful. Stage 2, I can improve quite a bit, too. I made a significant mistake on Stage 5, failed three Stage 6 spells and finished rather low on resources. I need to improve my way of handling those pre-Eirin enemies as well, since they can make or break the entire run. I'm pretty sure I can push this score beyond 2.3 billion... eventually.

[Karisa]

Easy - Marisa
Karisa - 2,426,186,930 - Cb - 0.000% - Replay

3 deaths, 3 spell failures. 2.6b would be nice, I think.

Easy - Marisa
Karisa - 2,592,368,680 - Cb - 0.000% - Replay

Not all spells captured because for some reason I tried to dash up for graze at the very end of Kaguya's first last spell.

[Oh]

Extra - Nether Team
DXK - 2,107,716,780 - C - 0.000% - Replay

Learned like two (unimportant) things and survival-scrubbed the rest which is also poorly done.

[Sakurei]

Extra - Youmu
Sakurei - 2,736,687,110 - 0.123% - Replay

All spells captured, obviously no HMD. That will come with the next PB I assume. Other things need to be practiced as well I guess.

[Aeteas]

I decided to try scoring. I also decided to try posting instead of just lurking. Let's see how well that works.

Easy - Marisa
Aeteas - 2,544,172,260 - 0.072% - replay

My goal was 2.5 billion, and I reached that. I could probably get 2.6 billion if I didn't suck though.

[CyberAngel]

Easy - Yuyuko
CyberAngel - 1,332,582,150 - Cb - 0.328% - Replay

I know, I know, it's barely any better. But I actually did some scoring stuff, so it's more fitting to be on a scoreboard. Anyway, potential score lost: 20 mil due to not enough time orbs on stage 2 (it's a real bitch for solo youkai on Easy), 30 mil by deathbombing Stone Bowl (20 mil bonus and 10 mil for bombs lost, even though it's better than dying) and 70 mil on 5th Last Spell. You can throw in 30 mil for not doing the safespot on 4th Last Spell. Other notable mistake is failing familiar farming on Tewi's 1st. This sums up to potential 150 mil over what I have, but I think I'm too likely to make the same or similar mistakes, so I don't feel like working on it further. Still, it was interesting to practice, hope I'll get better with other shottypes.

[CyberAngel]

Nobody plays the one actually somewhat good Touhou game. Sad.

Normal - Yuyuko
CyberAngel - 1,481,534,520 - Cb - 0.385% - Replay

Some improvement. I have to say I had an impression that Yuyuko's shot was pretty strong in the center, but this doesn't seem to be the case. It's wide but weak one. Not bad for stages, but bosses, unless you're up close, drag on for longer than they usually would.

[CyberAngel]

Please remove my entries from the scoreboards. Okay, they can stay for history.

[t_prinny]

I'm assuming its okay to post on the score thread even if its inactive judging by some of the posts in the PCB one.

Lunatic - Nether Team
Prinny -  1,858,341,770 - 6b - 0.084% Replay

Did this back in July. I'll come back to IN later when I'm not as busy.

[Ranko Hoshino]

I'm just putting this little replay here, even though it isn't actually a score run. The score itself puts me in a decent position, I think.

Normal - Magic Team
Ranko - 1,463,279,000 - Cb - 0.281% - Replay

Hi. I will be posting scores on this board again.

[Choco Beam]

Normal - Yukari
Nal Yoo - 2,495,641,950 - Cb - 0.403% - Replay

That Yukari run is pretty good. Some minor mistakes here and there and I generally played it safe (no aggressive grazing). Potential 2.6B. Sakuya run was baaaaad tho, don't even click the link.

[CyberAngel]

I tried this again recently, and came to a conclusion that I'm not playing for score ever again. As much as I like the basic system, the game itself has a few places that can screw you so bad and so easily that it's just not worth even trying. Oh well. I only have one last thing I need to do.

Easy - Nether Team
CyberAngel - 1,971,729,150 - Cb - 0.415% - Replay

The old run I wanted to improve. It's not bad at all, actually, but my perfectionism urged me to go for even better. Nevermore. Let my scores show how high explicitly non-scoring runs can reach.

[Choco Beam]

Normal - Alice
Nal Yoo - 2,017,269,330 - Cb - 0.384% - Replay

Normal - Remilia
Nal Yoo - 2,322,686,590 0 Cb - 0.555% - Replay

Still beat my scores from 5 years ago so that's something. I'll beat these again  5 years from now.

Please remove the mikeKOSA scores whenever I post new scores, TY.

Captain S.     - 4,171,870,340 - Cb - 0.155% - Replay

You can remove this one as well because it's also mine.

[Choco Beam]

Normal - Alice
Nal Yoo - 2,485,193,170 - Cb - 0.479% - Replay

Ok, I lied. So this is basically the run I got after practicing 2-3 times both stage 3 and 4. It's a no miss run which I'm happy about. The whole run needs some polishing though.

[Cats]

Edit: Played again after reading some scoring tips. Wasn't disappointed.

@Cats!, I watched your run and one important tip I can give you is to collect point items as much as you can, preferably at the top of the screen and when you're at -80% Human. If you are having a hard time going to the top, I suggest watching some runs to learn some routes and stuff. Also, don't be scared to collect point items during bosses. It's generally safe to go to the top as soon as the spellcard has  ended. Point items are your major source of score, hence their name. Don't let them fall off screen!

[Choco Beam]

Nal Yoo - 2,380,536,520 - Cb - 0.689% - Replay

Eh.

[Cats]

Thanks for the tips. If it weren't midnight I'd have executed better, but this is indeed an improvement over my last run (especially since I finished with only 1 extra life and no bombs). Completely ruined by stage 4.

Normal - Border Team
Cats - 1,657,022,430 - Cb - 0.000% - Replay

Time to go use other teams now!

[Cats]

Psych! This was no earnest attempt at a high score; I just wanted to see if I could even do this!

Failed IS, so 3b has to wait until next time. I'm probably going to cry if the next time I PB is not 3b, to be honest.

[Choco Beam]

Normal - Sakuya
Nal Yoo - 3,052,149,720 - Cb - 0.400% - Replay

Bleh. 5 misses. Died 2 times on the 3-Fairies sets at Stage 6 and I let one get away. Failed a bunch of spellcards too. A lot of greyed items too. Still beats my Marisa run tho. (But that run sucks too anyway).

[Choco Beam]

Normal - Sakuya
Nal Yoo - 3,081,215,000 - Cb - 0.704% - Replay

29M improvement  :V.  2 miss this time, but failed 8 spellcards because I'm retarded. Still a lot of greyed items and x1 items. Goal is 3.4B, which should be pretty soon. Granted if I keep grinding and get lucky.

[t_prinny]

Been doing a bunch of 6a runs earlier on normal. That is mostly because I don't feel like fighting Kaguya and I can't remember the last time I tried fighting Eirin. Only the Nether Team will be a 6b score since its my highest scoring run that I've yet to post here yet.

Normal - Border Team
Prinny - 1,673,916,080 - Ca - 0.000% - Replay

Normal - Magic Team
Prinny - 1,527,015,230 - Ca - 0.000% - Replay

Normal - Scarlet Team
Prinny - 1,415,473,700 - Ca - 0.050% - Replay

Normal - Nether Team
Prinny - 2,066,987,560 - Cb - 0.039% - Replay

I did a 6a earlier with the Nether Team, and that scored about 20 million lower than my border team (and I was still getting some rust off with that run). After these runs, I question whether or not I was hurting myself for playing as Youmu and Yuyuko. Most of my strategies for the stages were based on what I learned from having the convenience of Yuyuko's spread and Youmu's speed so things like the section of stage 3 before Keine gave me some problems (as well as stage 4). Also, I'm sure these could have been higher had I chose to go after Kaguya.
