...I can't just walk away without leaving as many at least somewhat competent, even if explicitly non-scoring, runs as possible after all. So be it. Let's get this youkai party started.

Easy - Border Team
CyberAngel - 1,814,459,840 - Cb - 0.245% - Replay

Actually, I did do some basic scoring stuff, but risky yet profitable strats are right out. I just don't care enough. This run has some bad mistakes, but also some awesome stuff (captured Morning Mist? Am I dreaming?). Overall, it exceeded my expectations.

EDIT:

Easy - Magic Team
CyberAngel - 1,854,754,540 - Cb - 0.325% - Replay

Quite a few mistakes as well, but a really nice run nonetheless.

Wait, third place?! :toot:

Been doing some easy score runs today, but I've only managed one run that I'm satisfied with. I've come to the conclusion that I'm only really effective with the Nether team (at the moment). I haven't really figured out how to effectively use the other shot-types (and I haven't really done solo characters yet).

Easy - Nether Team
Prinny - 2,027,759,760 - Cb - 0.036% - Replay

Regarding the run, I sort of screwed up on Marisa's second non-spell since I was attempting to graze it. Ended up dying to it, which probably cost me a bit as far as scoring is concern. Got hit on one of Kaguya's last spells. I probably should learn them in spell practice later if I get serious about scoring in IN. I'm not completely familiar with the scoring tricks in IN and Reisen's last non-spell is the only thing I know I can milk for more time orbs. Really only relying on things I probably took note of in some runs I watched (though the last time I looked at runs for IN was back when I was trying to learn lunatic), certain details I noticed during my own runs, and improvising stuff. Not sure if I should record this run later.

edit: Obviously need sleep. Not sure why I typed that I died to one of Kaguya's last spells.

A death with full bombs on Eirin made me really lose my cool, but I regained my composure by the end and captured all Last Spell rush to boot. Scoring-wise, it's actually the same as if I'd fail one Last Spell, which I'm fine with, so it's a good tradeoff.

Lots of sloppy stuff, but since I ended with full resources, I didn't fail Kaguya's 4th last spell, and stage 4 was only kind of bad instead of catastrophically bad like it usually is, I am going to call this a great success. :toot:

Time to post my easy scores and a run I got on hard. I think Shimatora's quick challenge in IN gave me enough motivation to try doing more runs in IN.

Hard - Nether Team
Prinny - 2,514,535,610 - Cb - 0.043% - Replay

Most of the easy runs I've done are pretty low compared to what I've been getting with the Nether team (and in general, I play best with the Nether team). I decided to at least settle on a minimal scoring goal of 1.5 billion. Did not expect my highest scoring run to be with the Scarlet Team since I thought that was a terrible run (as far as playing with teams go). I've only decided to do solo character scoring with Youmu mostly because I'm pretty used to using her when I use the Nether team. Also, had one death in the Youmu solo and that was due to Keine tackling me. Pretty sure I failed a couple last spells in all Easy runs.

The hard run took some attempts to get right mostly because I kept dying to things I could have avoided easily. Pretty much a majority of the rust I had prior to the easy runs went away by the time I decided to tackle hard. I managed to score past 2 billion in a 6a run before I got the run I have posted here. Until stage 6b, I was pretty happy with how I was scoring. Kind of died a lot on stage 6 mostly because its been a while since I saw Kaguya on hard. Pretty sure there were other things I messed.

Unless its too difficult for me to go after, I could probably improve my normal score with the Nether team. I may see if I can improve my lunatic score, but its been a while since I've last tried to seriously tackle lunatic in IN. Or maybe my random urges will make me play something else. I probably should use spell practice more often (and do practice runs in general).

For me, that's a pretty good run. Much better than that Eirin one I've done before... I have no idea, what happened on stage 3. I also don't know, what happened at Kaguya's Last Words. I could clear at least one of them.

Easy - Youmu
CyberAngel - 2,138,771,080 - Cb - 0.432% - Replay

A very good run by my standards. The amount of people with scores above mine kinda shows that this is the most popular scoring shottype. ~~Now go try other ones, you scrubs.~~

EDIT:

Easy - Yukari
CyberAngel - 1,267,820,660 - Cb - 0.283% - Replay

Lots of derpy moments, thought the score would be much less. Wanted to improve it, but the next run did a slightly better job overall and somehow scored 10 mil LESS. Is there even ANY sort of logic in this game's scoring?! Moral of the story: screw effort.

EDIT2:

Easy - Remilia
CyberAngel - 1,327,362,030 - Cb - 0.469% - Replay

Everyone, please try out Remilia! She's THE best solo youkai character. Her bigger graze range is awesome for scoring, while her familiars are extremely useful overall. Actually, the way they act is different from when she's in a team - when you unfocus they don't disappear, they MOVE to you, and you can stop them halfway. This allows some placing shenanigans that result in a unique experience, just like with Youmu solo.

t_prinny · « **Reply #337 on:** December 20, 2014, 02:12:06 AM »

Got around to doing a better run in lunatic. Sort of a relaxed run as I wasn't really trying to do anything too technical as far as scoring is concern. Really, I'm just getting back to IN lunatic and this happened. This still took a couple of attempts as I figure out what I can and cannot get away with.

Lunatic - Nether Team
Prinny - 2,867,385,120 - Cb - 0.041% - Replay - Video

I'm pretty serious when I say I have no idea where I got the extra points from compared to my previous lunatic run. Admittedly, I did sort of forgot how to play IN on lunatic, but that somehow helped me figure out how to score much better. Its probably thanks to the scoring attempts I did on the lower difficulties. 3 billion might be nice to go after, but I feel I can only get that far if I'm willing to learn Kaguya's last spells (and for that matter, all the lunatic spell cards). I can't tell if I'm just casually scoring or if I'm placing much more emphasis on being risky with some of my maneuvers. I don't think I recall some of my tactics being as aggressive as the ones I use in this run (granted its been a while since I've played IN lunatic). Still a decent score and this is the second run I got that defeated cleared 6b.

Failed Reimu's last spell, Reisen's 3rd and last spell and Rising world. Miss timed Midboss Reimu's 1st non-spell which cost me about 1000 time. Died at Stage 6 fairies. And a bunch more other mistakes.

Really good stage 2 and 3 though. I think I set new time PBs with those which are 16400~ and 24800~ respectively. Captured Midboss Reimu's 2nd spellcard and POC items as well which is pretty sweet. And a Dragon's necklace capture.

I'll try not to be too nervous next time.

Two deaths too many, but the loss is only as much as one Last Spell failed, which I can swallow. Turns out survival isn't as important for scoring as I thought. Oh well, less hassle for me if perfect runs aren't needed for a "good enough" result.

Sakurei · « **Reply #340 on:** December 20, 2014, 08:32:58 PM »

Survival totally is super important to scoring though. What are you talking about? Sure, some deaths don't cost that much, but if you die at a bad spot you lose tens of millions, possibly over a hundred. A bad death can turn a good run into shit immediately.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #341 on:** December 20, 2014, 09:56:50 PM »

True, but it's a case-by-case thing, unlike, say, Last Spell rush, which has a consistent impact on your score.

With this, I'm finally putting down Easy mode for good. Easy scoring is all about perfecting everything at this point, but I want nothing of that. Will return to play higher difficulties someday. For now it's time to rest.

I'd like to point out that you seem to have forgotten to take off my previous lunatic score for the Nether Team when updating. My name is there twice for that section. In the mean time, some stuff I have lying around. I don't think I'll improve these any time soon.

One is an old run I had lying around. The other was a recent attempt at a Youmu solo run. I'm not too used to playing as a solo character at the moment. I could easily improve my Nether Team score, but I don't really feel like it right now.

Two failed last spells and deathbombed Galaxy in a Pot. I guess I should be angry about missing 2.2 billion by a hair's width, but, uhh... I don't think I care about some arbitrary number after improving my previous Reimu score by >190 million.

Possible points of improvement:
-this run has >20 point items less than my Reimu run; I need to handle the familiars before Eirin better
-failed some spell in Stage 4 and Kaguya's final Last Spell; that's a loss of 40-50 million
-compared to my practice runs, my time collecting is simply abysmal, although I guess still better than my previous PB
-I need to start grazing things, darn it

I'll see if I can replace my normal final a scores with runs that fight Kaguya. This score could have been better, but I'll improve it some other time. Not used to using Border team. I know 6b went pretty badly in this run. Too used to relying on either Youmu's narrow shot and Yuyuko's spread. I'll definitely try to improve my Nether team score.

Some scores I managed to work on before I forget I did these. Sort of debated about attempting to clear lunatic with the Scarlet Team since I started to like using them, but I doubt I can get that done any time soon. Probably going to have to relearn lunatic with the Scarlet Team if I do that. Also, I wasn't able to improve my Magic Team score (yet). I should also study some stage 2 runs mostly because I die too much on stage 2 during my attempts.

I tend to be pretty on and off when it comes to IN. The Nether Team run sort of came up during my off times since I was getting runs that scored about 10 million less than my previous best score. Fortunately, I was able to get a good run for it since I figured it should take a few attempts to get a score increase using the strategies I used in lunatic.

Scarlet team was pretty good for me since I was sort of getting away from my comfort zone in IN. Happy enough with these scores and I kind of wanted something to replace my low final a run at some point. Also did better than expected on Hard. Was also trying to use the strategies I used for the Nether team with the Scarlet team (with a few modifications with how I approach stuff. I'll probably try to improve my Final A run with the Scarlet Team even though it probably won't beat my Final B score.
