Maybe I'll improve it later, but for now i got more important objectives. (I hope I did the Replayupload correctly

)

Quick Challenge

Validon98 - 9,081,780 - Fabric/Mallet - 0.1% - Replay

Tried to do it ARF's way a couple times, got a little frustrated with Kagerou's movements. This is a safer, but less scoring strategy that I had tried before watching. Could be better.

This got higher than any of my Ghastly Lantern attempts. Maybe I'll go for more later.

Quick Challenge
ARF - 10,129,320 - Fabric/Mallet - 0.5% - Replay

Some improvements in the strategy, figured I'd be sneaky and wait for someone to beat my first submission, but I better post it now before I forget about it.

For other people wanting to catch up: using the fabric with the lantern as sub makes for some pretty easy (read: not luck reliant) 9.7 million scores, as the deathbomb windows allows you to always safely double hide through 3 cycles of the blue stuff.

Submitting a random run before the challenge is over. Clipped on stage 4, but at least I finished with max lives and 30,000 graze.

Here's what my run would've been if I didn't forget to do the screenshot as well. I could say I've been at this for at least a week.

I tried the Quick challenge too, but IS is ass and I didn't want to figure out how to play the scene.

Emerald Mint · « **Reply #69 on:** January 28, 2015, 09:19:33 PM »

Think I'll stop beating myself over EoSD Lunatic and just wrap it up with an Extra run. More likely to improve this, if I submit anything else.

Odd spur of motivation brought me to this.
Prematurely killed some boss phases for survivability. Grazed stage 5 midboss nonspell until timeout to avoid fairy spam, stage 5 boss and stage 3 boss 2nd/3rd nonspell. Can possibly crank in an extra few million.

Submitting for the sake of random points in the standings. Not quite sure what I'm doing here.

A mere 17 hours left to submit!

Remember, any submissions count towards overall points!

Well this is another "perfect" run, now with an actual screenshot. Lower score than last time though.

Survival Challenge - Extra
Karisa - 260,814,400 - C - 2 - 0 - MarisaA - 0.129% - Replay Screenshot

Perfected Flandre on a relearn-the-spells run where I'd died several times in the stage portion. I tried several more runs and didn't come close to perfecting Flandre again (or even clearing with 0-1 deaths), so I guess I'll post this.

Actually I didn't lose any lives. I just deathbombed.

I was not expecting 1b on Hard at all, so it was a nice surprise.
Lunatic was okay I guess, I could have taken more risks, but chances are I wouldn't have cleared if I did, but I would have posted any gameover past getting 2b regardless. inb4 Mino comes and beats this last minute
Normal is topkek

I play SA!

...no time for me to learn/relearn a difficulty at this point though. I'm too used to Easy.

It does get rather annoying how, like in MoF, an accidental death ruins your score (well on Easy/Normal/Extra at least).

SomeGuy712x · « **Reply #80 on:** January 31, 2015, 11:36:23 PM »

Alright, here's a bunch of last-minute (well, last-hour) entries from me:

Subterranean Scoring - Normal
SomeGuy712x - 575,687,240 - C - ReimuA - 0.000% - Replay

The first death I had in stage 4 was unintentional, and I would've restarted due to that if I wasn't already annoyed from numerous other restarts due to stupid mistakes I kept making in the first three stages. But, I decided to keep going, and ended up with a perhaps halfway-decent score, maybe.

Survival - Normal
SomeGuy712x - 131,995,100 - C - 2 - 5 - MarisaA - 0.344% - Replay - Screenshot

Deaths were to Patchy and Sakuya. I'm really annoyed by that Patchy death, since the I thought the bullet that hit me was gonna miss me, and I had five bombs in stock at the time, so I would've bombed if I was expecting to be hit.

Survival - Hard
SomeGuy712x - 164,739,520 - C - 5 - 15 - MarisaA - 0.327% - Replay - Screenshot

I had some lucky dodges against Meiling and Patchy, but stage 5 was kind of "ugh". However, I had a better-than-expected Remilia battle.

Survival - Extra
SomeGuy712x - 239,264,100 - C - 0 - 3 - MarisaA - 0.100% - Replay - Screenshot

Holy crackers! I'd given Extra a lot of attempts over the past few weeks, and on this run, I had pretty much all the luck, making it all the way to Flandre's final spell without dying or bombing! Now, I could've tried to capture it for a true perfect game, but I've only rarely captured it in the past, and I was super nervous since that was the first time I'd ever gotten to that point without dying, so I spent my 3 bombs there to help me ensure that I'd get the no-death victory at least!

SomeGuy712x - 9,732,200 - Nimble Fabric/Ghastly Lantern - 0.0% - Replay

I couldn't get the Fabric/Mallet combo to work for me without always dying to either bad luck or mispositioning myself, so I'm settling for this.

Apologies for the late announcement but time is up! I'm currently unwell so when I finally wake up again later today I will sort everything out! Sorry for the delays on the new challenges but I'm really not up for sorting stuff out right now haha. Thanks for the participation this month!

Shimatora · « **Reply #83 on:** February 01, 2015, 03:25:00 AM »

New challenges are up, with a few quirks this month! A hidden challenge is active: a x2 modifier is up for grabs if you complete the challenge! The modifier is added after the difficulty modifier is added. The challenge will only be revealed at the end of the month if someone completes it. More than one person can complete this month's challenge. The following challenges are eligible:
Survival Challenge

Thanks for the participation last week and here's to another successful week!

If you notice any mistakes in my formatting or anything, always be sure to point it out. I'm half with it!

EDIT: SomeGuy712x, you're eligible for both badges. Which would you like?

SomeGuy712x · « **Reply #84 on:** February 01, 2015, 03:39:19 AM »

Whoa, I wasn't expecting to shoot out into first place like that! Umm... I wonder if that's accurate, actually... Shimatoma, can you maybe show everyone's previous point totals, and what everyone's final rankings in the previous round's challenges were?

Edit: Oh, wait. The rankings are shown in the Touhou Tournament Archive thread within High Score Entry. Still, how did I end up with 50 points?

Another edit: Okay, looking at the rankings for both months, I only participated in the Quick Challenge for month 1, placing 4th out of 7, which is worth 8 points, right? Then for month 2, first my points are cut in half down to 4, and then I think I gained 4 from Scoring Normal, 18 from the Quick Challenge, 1 from Survival Easy, 4 from Survival Normal, 3 from Survival Hard, and 12 from Survival Extra.

So, 4+4+18+1+4+3+12=46, which is what I think I should have. Did you forget to halve my 8 points before adding in the 42 I gained from month 2?

Anyway, I think I'll take the Survivalist Badge, since I'm most happy with my no-death Extra run there.

I'll check it. I am feeling quite out of it so, would probably be best.

Got 45 this time around. 39 from this month and 6 from last month. Maybe I should work on putting everything into a spreadsheet so I don't accidentally add extra numbers in. w

SomeGuy712x · « **Reply #86 on:** February 01, 2015, 04:10:31 AM »

@Shimatora:
"6 from last month"? But the Quick Challenge was worth 2x everybody below me (including myself), and there were three people below me, and if I include myself, that's 4 people, and 4x2=8. Also, don't forget to cut my first month's points in half before adding my second month's points. (Yeah, making a spreadsheet to keep all the numbers organized would be a good idea.)

Anyway, I just made an edit to my previous post that you might not've seen, where I calculate that I should have 46 points right now, and assuming I'm still in first place, I'll take the Survivalist Badge, since I'm most happy with my no-death Extra run there.

Shimatora · « **Reply #87 on:** February 01, 2015, 04:24:22 AM »

Huh, I thought I did that. Let me just recalculate it all.

EDIT: Okay I recognised my mistake. I did x3 for the quick challenge points first month. Oops!
Double EDIT: Going to do that spreadsheet. Might take a little bit as I work things out but should be done by the end of the month.

It truncates it ingame, although it displayed correctly in the ASCII for mine. Yours had 0% bang on, by chance.
