Died way too much.  Didn't even PB w.  Oh well, first credit in half a year or so, can't expect much.  At least I finished with max lives!  Highlights: Capping Seki's second spell.

[Sakurei]

I wished there were less bullets so I could actually PoC. This replay features how not to play.

[18:43]   <JPS>   2m improvement wwwwwwwwww
[18:43]   <JPS>   trainwreck stage 4/5
[18:45]   <JPS>   missed the big 2.0 at the end of stage 4, missed a bunch of stage 5 2.0s, got wrecked by the stage 5 jellybean fairies (something like 3 miss from them?), died on benben's first spell at the start (bumped into her), died after the second spell because I was beside her and she rammed into me when she flew to the middle...
[18:46]   <JPS>   oh yeah, died on Seki's first spell, I think I bumped into her or something
[18:46]   <JPS>   I don't even know

Now I just need to stop being dumb.  It's kinda hard :<.  At least I capped Seki's second spell again!!

Replay.  Also this happened.  Also timed Seki's second spell down to about 7 seconds this time.  RIP run ;_;.

4 miss ;_;.  I think this is my mental limit for this game right now.  680 seems realistic for NMNB + a more aggressive Benben?  Maybe reach 685-690 with really good RNG.  700 I dunno.  Maybe with some ultra-insane RNG on Seki and superplayer execution.  Oh well.  Beat my PB by 4m and learned a few things, so I'm okay with this.  650's also a nice number.  650,420,420 would have been cooler but too much RNGshit.

Lots of stage mistakes, including far too many deaths on stage 6 for such a short stage portion. I hadn't played SakuyaB in so long... It seems this is the first run to break 700m here though, so might as well post it.

Finished with 90k PIV. I'd normally stall out the final nonspell for a bit of extra PIV with shots that haven't capped it already, but that was one of many things I didn't do properly.

I didn't try ReimuA, but my guess is that SakuyaB's focused shot's extra PIV is worth more points than gohei chaining, at least on Easy. ReimuA's better stage coverage (and higher power for spell bonuses) may be more useful for higher difficulties when it's harder to reach the PoC, though, while the extra shooting PIV is less useful when there's more bullets per pattern to cancel. Not sure.

Only a week this time. If this challenge generates enough interest, I'll extend the deadline by a week.

Extension time?

[Mino ☆]

Given that people are starting to participate (surprisingly high for a game like DDC), I'm going to extend the deadline by another week.

Do you best everyone~

Minor improvement.

SakuyaB scoring is more fun when missing the stage 1-2 2.0s isn't a forced reset.
