I feel weird posting 5 times in a row. If I should just edit the last post even after the scores have been added, just let me know. :s

I think editing the last post is better than making a new post (though you're free to make a new post if you feel like it). The issue is actually if people edit new scores into a post that isn't the last post in the thread.

(Also I may or may not come back to MS eventually-- the simple system doesn't interest me that much anymore. I found it more interesting when it was unexplored, I think.)

I don't think suicides would be worth it. You get a lot of bombs, and I don't think they'd be needed outside stages 2 and 4. You're right though that bombs should be added to Easy mode. Maybe even Normal in some places.

Pretty much just posting all the scores I'm sort of satisfied with for now. I can probably improve these, but I will do that later. Actually had some problems figuring out how I should play MS until the dream gauge mechanics started to make some sense to me (at least enough to let me know that recovering isn't completely impossible, but still difficult to do). Until I looked things up, I ended up playing with the misconception that extends were given based on how high you score (I found out later that extends are given for every 100 point item). I think the other problem was that I was trying to fight Yuki, but that was before I figured out that Mai was easier to deal with.

My hard Reimu run was something I did while doing lunatic runs. I couldn't decide whether Reimu's range was something that would help me stage 4 onwards. I ended up sticking with using Mima mostly because of a combination of me generally not liking homing shot-types and that Reimu is a little too slow for me to use. I'll probably try using Reimu again on lunatic later on some other time.

Pretty sure my lunatic strategies could use some work. I think I spent a majority of my time figuring out what kind of route I should take for stage 1. Its probably because I'm too aggressive with my item collecting, but I tend to die a lot during my attempts in stage 1. I can theoretically no-miss no-bomb until stage 4 unless the bosses throw something that is too difficult for me to dodge. Its probably bad for scoring since I'm losing out on graze, but I'm also relying on speed killing strategies for Alice to reduce the changes of getting screwed by something random. Still working on my stage 4 strategies. I think trying to use Zil's approach for some of the stuff kind of helped, but I think my main issue is misjudging the hitboxes on some of the bullets. Yumeko was pretty difficult to get past without losing too much resources. I think I got some rhythm, but trying to misdirect her aimed bullets is pretty scary given how fast they move. Shinki wasn't too bad in comparison, but I'm not too used to the bullet speed during her later patterns. I remember watching a video that makes her lasers easier to deal with so I ended up relying on that mostly because I know I can't dodge lasers that behave like that.

My extra is pretty much a low score. I didn't care about cancelling bullets for point items and the only thing I remembered from one run I saw was that it was safe to time out her last pattern. Long post, but I felt I had to leave some comments. Pretty sure I could have saved myself some time if I didn't decide to put my thoughts down.

Not sure when I'll improve this, but its my current best Reimu score on normal. Not my best moment at Shinki.

Normal - Reimu
Prinny - 71,386,770 - 6 - Screenshot

Shinki aside, this run sort of went downhill starting at the stage 4 boss. Stage 5 went sort of decently until Yumeko. I screwed up item collection on stage 6.

For the Dodging Rain Competition, did pour in 60+ or 70+ hours into this, will be improved in either the near future, or the not-so near future. My main hope is to get 150m in this at some point.

Also something that happened during the DRC when I was going for hard mode I got a little stressed out a few times; decided that playing another difficulty was a good idea, it seemingly was as I managed to get a 165m run after playing a bit. Will also be improved as I probably will aim for 180-190m for this Extra stage at some point.

Sorry for my extra post here but I kind of found a graze that should make getting max graze in stage 5 incredibly easy: Yumeko graze strat if you'd do a few midboss grazes + this (the pattern can be grazed for 7 waves.) you'd get a ton of graze and more than enough for max graze in stage 5, it makes it pretty easy, too. So you could prioritize point item collection much above grazing random blue kunai stage enemies.

Not too sure if I want to post my LNB, since I might want to improve the score it got at some point, so it would feel like a filler to me.

Maybe that I'm quick to ask, but I want to ask for my score I posted yesterday to be added. I saw yesterday that Kirby reposted on the SoEW chat and got his score added back then so it may not've been visible; I'm aware of that. But I'm not sure how long I'd have to wait if I wouldn't ask now.

I typically update the scores each day. Sometimes I miss a day or two though; it seems yesterday was one of those days.

Anyway, I just noticed you've been submitting some scores as "ZIG" and some as "Zigzagwolf"-- which would you prefer?

Those things happen and I'm aware those things can happen since I kind of do update some scoreboards on another forum so I'm aware those things can happen at times, so that is all fine.

Oh, I really should have thought this out before. People tend to just call me "ZIG" and it is my arcadename, but I think "Zigzagwolf" looks neater and is more formal for a forum, so I'll go with "Zigzagwolf" here.

I feel like using a single submission name deserves to be in the guidelines now. It's been enforced for a while but it's a pretty rare occurrence.

Anyway, there have been occasional longer gaps in updating (due to computer repairs or vacation, for example, when I've only had mobile access), but if it's not added by 5+ days later, chances are it was missed. Especially if other newer scores were added.

(Also KirbyComment's reminder was actually PoDD, not SoEW, and it was a week later.)

I see.. I did look at the SoEW thread yesterday though, I probably saw the wrong thread then.

I've had a duration for a very long time I couldn't even get online at all in which I was not capable of updating my boards, so I honestly do understand the situation, it is not something I saw as bad but my thoughts were it is better to be sure and certain than to be unsure and uncertain.

Extra - Yuuka
Zigzagwolf - 186,900,220 - C - 0.54% - Picture/Picture/Video

Some of my new scores, highest score for Reimu and Marisa in the Extra stage so far as far as I am concerned. I want to attempt getting 200M+ with Reimu and Yuuka at some point, as for Marisa, she does not have the same potential as Reimu or Yuuka and that 1MNB run was really strong, but if I didn't die at the final pattern there with her I possibly would have had 190M+? I think that would be my endgoal with her, it is atleast by far more solid than my 170M run.

Also the new highest overall score for Lunatic as far as I'm concerned, I might improve the score a bit further in the near future, lunatic is quite hard to survive well but I still am content with that run for now.

Improvement with Reimu, closing in on 200 Million. I'd be glad if I get that, I got a recording of this run (as the screenshot kind of shows) but it is a bit sloppy, for somereason Bandicam's sound settings really influence how the video will look like even if you don't notice any of such while actually recording.

It's about time I start doing some serious scoring in this game finally. I've attempted this category around a year ago actually, but I didn't really get far with it. This is merely a placeholder though so it will be improved. Hopefully I can do some other Easy categories after and Normal too as long as the game continues to not massively slow down while recording. The 75m run was recorded but isn't worth of a video obviously.

Easy - Reimu

Overall record I guess? And this run isn't even that good, but it reached my goal anyways so I'll be trying Marisa next...

This game is frightening once you make one survival mistake. That happens, and then you'll die many more times. Ironically it doesn't hurt my score that much by the looks of it, at least on Easy.

Strong run, point item collection was a bit less, graze was good, Mai stalling is also an important part. Still 2 misses and some bullet clears were just awful, I'm not planning on improving this soon so hopefully I maybe get to this someday.

This run is pretty godly, I've put in quite a lot of time to get this. My goal was to get 200 million with Reimu but I slightly exceeded that by 2 million, so I'm very happy with this run. Also this run was done on Twitch but I happened to record the run seperately as well so I'd be certain it would be in good quality.

New shot record for Marisa, improvement may not be huge over my last score but it took me a while; I've basically added in an elaborate description in my video-- there's some things that could make it better and could probably push this towards about 195m, I don't know if 200m is possible. This run is really good though.
