No, it's because the likelihood of anyone here making something truly comparable to an actual Touhou game in three weeks is fairly low (and even if I had given more time, it would have just been put off anyways). You even said that Rika's averages about a 6, so while people did get above that, it was still pretty unrealistic. I think the main difference was that your scores went from 6 to 0 reeeally quickly.
Standards are not the same thing as judging criteria
Well, several entries here are quite more aesthetically pleasing than EoSD, and people have proven that they can do incredible danmaku here,
even in a short amount of time.
Had the LLS contest been one-card-only, Azure's maze card would have easily been a 10/10. :derp:
Well, whatever, the entry I thought was best has won, and it is not like my entry would have done any better with those different criteria...
I forgot to send in my judgement :/ derp
Honestly, 1st place was a tie between Iryan and Chau for me. Ya'll have strange standards.
