I still have that replay of you almost beating PCB Stage 6 Lunatic with that condition.

DarkslimeZ · « **Reply #31 on:** September 24, 2009, 02:44:39 PM »

haha.

Anyway, that sounds good to me. I've never focused on score-runs before, but if it was something like Koumakyou I think I could get into it~

I participate in /jp/'s danmaku threads any time I find one; I'd be glad to participate in others.

When was the last time you've seen such a thread? Thinking of sending a PM to the original thread starter and bothering him/her to create more, but not if I've been checking the board at the wrong times.
Unfortunately I haven't seen many recently. I'm not sure whether or not he's just stopped, but I liked participating. I even hosted for a while a few times after others went to bed.

/bun/ has one, but its kinda dead now.

/bun/ died because there weren't enough terrible people going there.

You know this to be true.

Right, I think we'll need our own separate scoreboard for this. We can keep a scoreboard for each week, and then maybe a running scoreboard on top of that or something? dunno

Kanako Yasaka · « **Reply #36 on:** September 26, 2009, 05:34:55 PM »

GIL did it.

Alice Fact · « **Reply #37 on:** September 26, 2009, 08:58:02 PM »

any scores you make in the first week of this should be able to fit into the already existing threads fine enough

and then for the third week heartbeam said he'd do similar topics to mine for special challenges

maybe we need to split them somehow

moozooh · « **Reply #38 on:** September 30, 2009, 05:15:49 PM »

The pilot tourney will commence on October, 1st at 0:00 GMT (reference clock here). I am now preparing a thread with scoreboards and instructions. No registration, everyone is free to join. Get ready!

I guess I'll rather use the term "bi-weekly" then. But yeah, thanks.

"fortnightly". *punched for nitpicking*

i'll give eosd a shot tomorrow

LHCling · « **Reply #40 on:** October 01, 2009, 09:36:19 AM »

This week is Laser Week!

Anyway...

Going to touch up that EoSD Easy run. Tempted to do EoSD Normal. Haven't 1cc EoSD Hard yet with any shot type, so I might consider it as well. Not bothering with Lunatic. Not too interested in UFO Easy / Normal for some reason. Very tempted to touch UFO Hard / Lunatic.

I encourage everybody to submit at least one replay, regardless of your skill level / scoring capability. EoSD Easy is somewhat different though, since it only has 5 stages and no "Final Clear".

Oh and as a little bit of "forced" encouragement, I'll clear EoSD Extra for the first time ever if 'nut joins in.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #41 on:** October 01, 2009, 12:39:29 PM »

Does EoSD have the hitbox patch allowed or not?

moozooh · « **Reply #42 on:** October 01, 2009, 01:11:56 PM »

It's not. Not that I can call you out on it even if you use it, of course…

Bananamatic · « **Reply #43 on:** October 01, 2009, 01:30:32 PM »

Got 130m on EoSD Normal, unfortunately I have the patch installed....how to uninstall it? :V

lmagus · « **Reply #44 on:** October 01, 2009, 02:17:22 PM »

oh man i can't wait to try this out. i've never finished a game with marisa in my life... maybe eosd and ufo easy will be the first ones?

im also interested in trying normal... =P although i don't think i'll do very well =(

Surprise Extra run after failing UFO Normal! Totally makes up for the lacking performance today. I'll enjoy my five minutes of #1 position until .ASP returns and usurps the top score.

EoSD - Extra
Heartbeam - 403,221,870 - C - 0.104% - (replay)

And there I was, naively hoping I might nab that EoSD Extra #1 spot at some point. ;_; I don't think I can reach 400m... still, far too early to give up yet.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #48 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:16:21 PM »

lol, I have the last place in almost everything :V
Still, it made me take another look at UFO MarisA and found out that the bright lasers aren't that distracting....she is actually quite good.

moozooh · « **Reply #49 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:19:26 PM »

Yeah, she's pretty much the second best character, though I guess she isn't as Easy to handle as Sanae-A (or Reimu-B I guess).

This week is actually the week of straight laser Marisa in games where she isn't completely horrible (SA doesn't count because of spread).

Bananamatic · « **Reply #50 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:21:35 PM »

I guess that it is since I don't have to use the hitbox that much now.
Still, bright spells like Radiant Treasure are a dick to capture with all the flashy stuff.

LHCling · « **Reply #51 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:25:58 PM »

Well, I just realized how short this timeframe actually is. I don't think there's not enough time for me to master UFO supergrazing to use on Hard / Lunatic.

Not to mention I keep making silly mistakes on EoSD Easy. I should be able to break at least 120mil given the timeframe though.

DarkslimeZ · « **Reply #52 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:51:18 PM »

Geez. Why is Easy Mode so hard to do score runs on :V

Got all the way up to Byakuren with 160mil, but kept dying. Some of her cards are *still* difficult. i.e. I can't dodge upside-down, the fencing-in card is still difficult, and fuck those damn circle lasers.

Lybydose · « **Reply #53 on:** October 03, 2009, 09:14:40 AM »

Nightmare in Heiankyou was IMPOSSIBLE with MarisaA, and then I was like "oh wait, maybe I should just stop holding down the shot button."

Also, the blue UFO spellcard has somehow gone from "loleasy" to "OH GOD WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME" in the past 2 days. The complete opposite has happened with Rainbow UFOs.

Because you're more willing to take (more) risks on lower difficulties for all the (potential) Points.

With that said, I restart more on UFO Normal than I do for UFO Hard or even UFO Lunatic. Guess I should also plan out actual routes for S4 and S5 instead of relying on "oh look a UFO" *grab*, *death*, repeat. Well, probably more on S4 since I've basically memorized S5's from my 500+ attempts at the stage itself. I can adapt 1-2 changes to my current route for it...

Master Spark'ing for UFO chaining is really, really rewarding. As in, the moment you grab the correct UFO during a bomb is just revitalizing.

EoSD scoring is picky; I never thought grazing could add up to so much. Ever since that incident into colliding into Meiling while grazing the First Boss SC, I've ended up being too cautious about moving "too close" and only get ~300-400 at best. Which has evidently had some impact on my current score...

DarkslimeZ · « **Reply #55 on:** October 03, 2009, 03:30:23 PM »

So how long does it take before you have complete control over what your hand is doing? >_>

I *always* die twice before getting to Flandre. My record on Royal Flare is 1/78, but I don't want to bomb it, because I'll need to bomb Philosopher's Stone. And of course, stupid deaths all the time on Silent Selena.

Which reminds me, death-bombing is fucking hard in this game <<;

Good news is, my completion high score was only 80mil(oh god if only i could complete it a second time), and I have hit 130mil without even beating that bitch. If only I was better at her spell cards. It's just so hard to practice. D:

/vent

EDIT -- Right, on topic, my left hand obviously forgot which was shoot and which was focus on China. Lol 3 deaths on iiji moodo

Polttopallo · « **Reply #56 on:** October 03, 2009, 04:03:03 PM »

Grrr, I can't see the bullets because Marisa's familiars or whatever they are are blocking the view. Maybe I should stop shooting and time out the last spell, probably easier to do it that way...

Heartbeam · « **Reply #57 on:** October 03, 2009, 05:09:42 PM »

I can't get over that either. Byakuren's third noncard is so mean, too. I hardly see any difference between Normal and Hard, and Lunatic doesn't change much even with the additional wave.

The EoSD Easy score isn't budging, and the biggest problem lies with stage five which is a 10M+ difference compared to MATSU's stage performance. I'll admit, I haven't been working on the grazing that comes before midboss Sakuya, just trying to time the bombs that come after her.

Searching through the blog it appears that nyanko is aware of ycw's UFO route or did the math for him/herself?

Polttopallo · « **Reply #58 on:** October 03, 2009, 05:39:58 PM »

I dont think he has seen ycw's replays. as far as I know he discover it himself.

I wonder why ycw didnt upload his replays to royalflare.

looks like that moozooh made a post there, so let see what happens. Maybe 1,75 billion coming soon?

DarkslimeZ · « **Reply #59 on:** October 03, 2009, 05:45:20 PM »

More inexperienced players should participate so I feel better about myself. :V
