Trying to score SA Stage 1 is still a bit too annoying right now, so not much progress there. I might take another look at those TD replays you linked me to, but with Comiket just two weeks away, it's not like it'll matter much. I am looking forward to scoring the full version though.
Yeah, I saw that SA Lunatic replay and took notes. Those accidental deaths were just cringe-worthy (Ten Evil Stars? I don't care who you are, that's pretty embarrassing :V), but easily correctable I'm sure. I still feel like he can graze two sections better (Stage 2 opener and midboss-Yuugi's opener), but the difference there is bound to be small anyway.
EDIT: Just watched that TD replay by ns. I never thought to postpone the first suicide like that. It sets up a remarkably different resource path later, and I actually feel like trying it out (if I can :V). Only one gripe from me though: why do people still insist on doing the Stage 1 midboss like that? Reimu can score about 1000 base Point values higher doing it the way I did way back when.
