TAS scoreboard

--- Quote from: Karisa on January 01, 2016, 06:41:23 PM ---This is the same player メタモルフォーゼ (Metamorphose) as the other PC-98 TASes, so they'd clearly know that LLS and MS go into letter scores from 100m onward. I'd assume either this demo crashes, or loops back to 0 after 99,999,990.
Maybe the description explains it? I barely know any Japanese, and Google Translate didn't really help, but from looking up the kanji, I think this says that the 9th digit of the score is invisible?
--- End quote ---
A fair guess would be to say that the score would roll over to 0. Because if the 9th digit is invisible, that means that the score would be displayed like this 1[00,000,000] (The numbers in the brackets referring to the ones seen ingame)
Also what he did is like what people would do in arcades because high scores would not roll over with the current player's score (Pac-Man would show a high score of 999,990 even if the player got a perfect games) So he got the highest possible score without rolling over, which is 99,999,990.
Just my guess.
Karisa:
OK, now that I've found the time to watch the run-- I find it interesting that the TAS uses ReimuB. Seemed like an odd choice at first to use the weak spread shot (though notably LLS Marisa isn't any faster), but it seems ReimuB is powerful at close range, with TAS dodging and LLS's lack of boss contact hitboxes.
Also this demo gives 3 bombs per life compared with the full version's 2 (no free bomb at the end of each stage though). Interesting how TAS grazing seems to be worth more than bombing the latter half of stage 2, despite that. (Or maybe it's not worth more, and the TAS was avoiding points by then to avoid passing 99,999,990.)
I see the LLS demo doesn't properly display an 8th digit on stage clear bonuses, which I guess was fixed. I wonder why the stage graze cap was added, though... scoring would've been more interesting without it (particularly in Extra).
I'd like to see a full-game TAS, anyway. Not sure if Metamorphose will bother, considering the graze cap, but there's still manipulating point items to appear near the top of the screen (when not bombed) like in the SoEW TAS, and maximizing bullet cancel bonuses...
Arcorann:
Judging from the text at the beginning of the video, it's what Karisa said - the score rolls over at 99,999,990 so he gets a game over there.
I was waiting for the full version TAS to be released before adding it to the list, though maybe it is a good idea to put in the trial version.
Also, kopiapoa's working on LoLK Extra. [strike]Current target score is close to 2 billion, by the looks of his Twitter.[/strike] Misread tweets.
Testrun is out.
Uruwi:
DDC Lunatic, 9,999,999,990.
Yes, I'm serious.
Arcorann:
Oh hey DDC uses unsigned int for its score. I still remember people getting negative scores in SA, but that was a signed int.
