Some things to note:
1) Not entirely sure if it's 1% slowdown.
2) I have a convulsive fit against the sword-fireball fairies in Stage 3.
3) I miss a lot of freeze milking opportunities
4) I collide into random shit because my hands hurt

lots of mistakes during this run, I'm not sure if I was really focusing in a good score, more than trying to get lots of levels. Some indecisions in stage 2 (not sure if I should bomb the green fairies or just freeze the middle of the screen), cluelessness about some parts in stage 3 (haven't memorized the enemy attacks, maybe I should try to save bombs for the fire bullet wall sections?) and I'm still wondering if it's better to try to go for golden medals..

Fuck, I missed having you around these parts.  I have a small rant with no useful information over at the shmups forum (http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=604252#p604252) if you want to talk about numbers for the Extra stage.  Or you can put that genius mind to work and tell me how to freeze most of the point items in Easy.  Even though they suck.

Easy - A2
Heartbeam - 25,405,670 - C - 0.140% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9955)

Normal - A2
Heartbeam - 34,157,130 - C - 0.260% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9986)

Extra
Heartbeam - 76,520,250 - C - 0.260% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9959)

Normal was really bad with the deaths as well and I ended with around 560% motivation.  Didn't know what to expect in the final battle so I eventually threw my hands in the air and said whatever goes.  Easy...trying to learn not to underestimate the rate of the freeze meter when you're charging (if it does go faster) while waiting on the next bullet ring to pop up, otherwise it may catch up to the boss.  Only played A2 to completion three times so far.

And something that's bothered me for a bit back when you were doing submissions for Mystic Square.  I soon realized it was pointless to do stage score comparisons if the meter is going to be skewed by misses.

Post by: Hawk on August 24, 2010, 11:21:07 PM
Easy just doesn't really interest me that much.  I may go back to it, but I enjoy this game because of the visceral feel of freezing a lot of stuff, and you really can't do much of that in Easy.

Also, are point items worth 1000 normally and 5000 frozen, always?  Like, they don't scale based on your freeze meter or anything?  If so, they're damn near useless.

Normal - A2
Heartbeam - 41,735,820 - C - 0.150% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9988)

1000%, but that doesn't make the run look any prettier.  Too many problems to list, but the only one I want to get off my mind is the very first spell.  I planned to compensate for the open spot that forms around you by being next to the boss when bombing, but sort of forgot until after the last bomb went off.

No doubt this has been answered and I'm poor with the search function, or I didn't try one more thing, and this isn't the best place, and anyway.
Quote
There is an issue with the Replay menu where it crashes when you have a misnamed replay (for example, you saved a replay for Route A1 and the replay registered as B1). To fix this, save another replay.

Okay, for an older run I went for completion even though the high score changed to something outside of the whole route after stage one.  Saving another replay didn't work, and I messed around with naming and trying out different slots, but the main thing is all 25 slots were already holding a run.  You have to save it over another empty slot, then?  I guess I'll find out another day.

So there's the formula behind the clear bonus!  No need to worry about bomb stock now, but I was hoping the power meter would be of benefit.

There it went...85M guesstimate for Extra attained and surpassed.  Next in sight? (http://doujinstg.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=2390)

Can't read what that says, you're welcome to share it with us. Somewhat encouraging that I can still use bombs to get good freeze coverage up until the end... But that point item garbage isn't, though.

Really wish there was more emphasis put on performance during the game too, rather than the "resources" you have at the end. And on top of all that, planned bombs are putting me in tears. Yet here I am, still playing for score :derp:

EDIT: You also need an account to download replays from that forum (and view certain boards), which most of us don't have. You wouldn't mind re-upping that replay somewhere, would you?

Sorry, grabbed it straight from the Wiki (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy_Wars:_Gameplay#Clear_Bonus).  And where the person searched it out...but at a glance it seems to make sense.  I think partial lives count as well though, so 975% would translate to 9.75.

Well, it is password protected. The player will probably upload it to royalflare (http://score.royalflare.net/th128/) when the 1.00 version comes out.
Currently his 12.8 ex high score is 85 million. And the player estimates 90 million is attainable under a perfect run.
His clear score formula is in line with that in Wiki.

Similarly, LYX will upload his replay after he surpasses 2.6 billion, or Hirona's Sanae-B score.

Greedy trying to freeze for one more bomb to use at the end, and I get killed for it.

Something else to say...accidental bomb trigger during one of the noncards for the second boss, but it paid off better instead of using it later on a spell.  And I should have expected this because of the nature of the patterns, but I obviously don't have it through my head.

That old safespot/strategies thread.  I really have hopes for it, and a thread may not be the best place for an effective guide but at least it'll right there to consolidate information.  No motivation to work on stage six or type something for the other stages, because I don't want to do it for my own health.  Someone asking is enough.

Sucky run, but it's a working replay!  Moved the older one elsewhere and played on a fresh score.dat, whatever good it may have done.

Numbers, huh.  Stage one has ended at 5.4M on occasion, but I probably spent three bombs for that.  Speaking of bombing, I can only reliably have three bombs for the first spell if I die somewhere but don't screw up the freezing too much.  Say, at the very beginning of the spell.  Whether or not it pays off is another question, as that extra spent bomb could have gone towards stage two Lily Black's second phase for a larger bonus.  If I hold on like so I'll be sitting on 300% stock for a little bit before hitting her second phase.  Maybe...die a lot during the first half of the second stage to cough up another bomb.  I used to set one off right before Lily Black but I think it's a pretty spectacular waste.

I don't bother to freeze farm Sunny Milk's final spell anymore, as the current freeze bonus I'm managing doesn't keep up with the deteriorating spell bonus.  And there's no item drop at the end, I think.

Used to be able to keep ahead with Star Sapphire's midboss spell so I can end it with a freeze, but...yeah, I haven't reproduced that lately.  Her noncard sucks.  As far as I can tell you need to be inside one ring before setting off the freeze for a better bonus, but the gaps suck.  Especially when she moves down.  I'm no good with fitting between them from the side when they travel diagonally, either.

For stage three, quickly destroy the large fairy that drops in and fires plenty of aimed bullets so another one can drop it.  For these and the ones later on, freeze timing needs to be looked into so the knives can be taken advantage of for about 100K to the bonus, maybe more.  And many other things, like freezing down the side fairies for the final spell as done in the Easy A2 run.  And some of the other spells for the final battle, I don't know what makes the side fairies drop items every now and then.

Well, one more thing about Lily Black.  She probably follows you on the last phase, and that was a good job dragging her to the side so the bullets fly offscreen before they're frozen.

But seriously, just fast forward and check out the Fairy Overdrive attempt.  Holy shit lol.

Thumbs up, very entertaining!  The spell before that made me wince.


1600 extend in PCB (http://twitpic.com/2kk1da), how disturbing.  The idea always floated in the back of my mind that it could be possible with the extra fairies during the spells, and here it is.  A little less shocking when seeing a continue was used, for full power at the beginning I guess.  And I wonder if all the deaths were placed where it wouldn't damage the appearance of point items.

Who cares about tiny increments when the real scoring scene hasn't arrived yet.  Another fresh score.dat, broken replay.

The best I've managed on the first large fairy is 90K, sitting a little up, streaming a bit, then moving up alongside the stream a little before releasing.  Or maybe I should try it from the very bottom and worry less about grazing.  Sitting lower for the other streams which I should have thought to do, and 2M has been broken before the boss, but the score still swings around a space of 120K.  Checking out the second phase of the midboss so I can slip in some 100K+ freezes, but not without dealing damage.  Stage one ends with 5.7M after...three bombs, I think.  Forgotten already.

Last spell was nice.  The bomb didn't end the spell so I finished it with a deathwave instead.  And I should have shot down that last bit of health but wanted to end it with a freeze, so I went to the right to work up the meter on the other fairy.  And that last bomb was set off at a bad moment so the bullets turned into fireballs very shortly after.

To someone I didn't answer:  A2 is probably the highest.  I thought C2 might have given it a run for its money, and it may still do so, but I haven't checked yet on this difficulty.  And this problem came up last night and earlier in the day when intermittent keystrokes were being registered by the left arrow key, inside and outside the game.  I think I may have fixed the problem, but no telling until playing again sometime later.

Working replay.  1000% / 6530%.  So, made it to 2.135M before the boss once.  And I need to review how I'm using the bomb against the first spell.  Ending stage one with 6M isn't so far away.

I shouldn't have used that second bomb against the last noncard.  Well, another time I'll be ready to pelt the final spell with three bombs.

Hmm, supposed to look thoughtful or something after trying a different route.  I suppose 45M is a good target, but maybe later.

I need somewhere better to die on stage one.  Oh, last phase of Lily White!  Only needed five seconds of thinking power.


Freeze values are too volatile, and the bosses won't follow me on attacks where I want them to be in a good position.  New pre-boss record of 2.185M (520%), and a stage one score of 6.082M (2.058M pre-boss).

Don't retry. If you want to retry, back to screen title first and start new game. At least this work for me, hope it works for you too guys.

Earlier-than-expected revisit because of an uploaded run from WHZ beating the old one.  Around 940% motivation.

Normal - A1
Heartbeam - 45,565,540 - C - 0.700% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10196)

1000% / 5178%.  Only successfully froze off one of the fairies during Fairy Overdrive.  Another one lost due to a deathwave, and I stopped bothering with Sunny Milk after one failed freezing attempt.  I don't even remember how I died to that spell, and I don't want to look back.  Screen shake, game stuttering, or something else or a combination.  Whatever it was, it wasn't a good note to end the run on.

Poor GFW.  Not many people want to submit for the bottom three difficulties.

Don't retry. If you want to retry, back to screen title first and start new game. At least this work for me, hope it works for you too guys.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Oh, and a new number for stage one.  6.2M, and although the pre-boss stood at 2.15M there's enough room in mistakes to push it another 100K at the very least.  No, let's make that 200K. Silly boss movements.

That does it.  I need to finish my business with this run later.   ...but not tonight.  Left arrow key is acting up again.

Easy - A1
Heartbeam - 28,200,660 - C - 0.200% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10222)


Didn't freeze down a total of three fairies during the final battle, one of them I didn't bother for.  Ended with 98% bomb power.  Should have suicided again during the last noncard.  Should have...

30M is right there!  Moving on to something else.

I don't know who said it, or if the person was serious about wanting ZUN to keep the new health bar for future games, but it's stuck in my mind.  The current implementation of the circular health bar is lacking.  Be it a part of the spell title blocking the last bits of health so I don't know how little to shoot, or trying to track each bar during Fairy Overdrive, or being obscured by everything happening on the screen, it's a sore sight!

A2 Normal, stage three midboss.  Thinking of suiciding on a fireball or Star Sapphire herself as the bullets finish freezing.  Then I can place all attention on fitting through the gaps and hopefully bring up another bomb to use while still ending the fight with 200% bomb power.  Positions haven't been studied, the regular freeze could land anywhere from 300 to 500K.

Easy - A2
Heartbeam - 30,788,400 - C - 0.070% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10229)


Eh, Star Sapphire's Fairy Overdrive has too much health.

Fucking huge GFW scores, and Kagamin is on Normal A2?  I guess I'll try to hold up Easy A1 a little longer.  After watching a certain replay I have to say wow at the orb-motivation abuse, the quiet spot for Closure Sign "Big Crunch," and that it took me this long to realize Super Perseid isn't completely random.

Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  Yes!

No, it was a pretty shitty run, but I'm much more elated at skipping 31M and going straight to 32M.  Died to Orion Belt for an unfathomably stupid reason, and had to die again to pick up another bomb for the final spell, ending at around 908% motivation.  Should make an effort to stay up there even longer and continue freezing.

861%. I am serious (http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/12/80/32/92/untitl34.jpg). If I didn't make (at least some of) those mistakes (careless!) that would've been close to 80mil, at least beating UKT.

Also, HECATE, yukarin and UKT playing? What is this, really. No pressure on us at all. Totally.

Almost milked the last card perfectly. Almost. Some poor bomb usage elsewhere. Note that my Stage 1 was exceptionally poor, only barely made up by RNG shenanigans on Stage 2. Might need to TAS demonstrate myself a route that I can follow.

EDIT: Okaaaay UKT updated. No mercy at all man  ;_;

Unnecessary miss at the end, 932% motivation.  Didn't successfully freeze off Fairy Overdrive.  Forgot what came next for some parts of the stage, or even how many bombs I had on me.

Easy - A2
Heartbeam - 33,131,550 - ALL - 0.180% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10257)


I'll take it!  Didn't freeze off a fairy again.  Fairy Overdrive took several attempts to freeze off.  Didn't pay attention to hitting 300% during the final noncard.  Bombing could have been much better during the final spell.  What I should try is use short freeze bursts after blocking the first fireball activation wave.  Hopefully that'll put me in a good position to get a 100% freeze for the fireball wave after that.

Might, might be able to catch Star Sapphire when she's in the upper right corner.  If not then there's successful upper left for 245K spell bonus range.

Easy - A2
Heartbeam - 33,282,720 - ALL - 0.150%


Doesn't matter, didn't pay attention to the high score changing so it's broken.  The freeze probably would have done Star Sapphire in during Fairy Overdrive at the 245K bonus mark, but I just had to hit her before the freeze finished and end the spell with a fringe shot for some reason.  Motivation around 915%.  Missed another fairy freeze on top of that, and I think I finally realized what's up with the side fairies not dropping items during the spell sometimes.  If the noncard ends without taking them out then they'll hold onto the items.  Died to a lone fireball somewhere, cancelling the wave.  130-200K.

The indefinite ending bug seems to pop up if you freeze off the main fairy and either or both of the side ones at the same time, provided it would have depleted their health bar.  It wouldn't be possible to freeze for all three item groups, then.

Easy - A2
Heartbeam - 34,001,610 - C - 0.100% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10260)

Holes everywhere etc etc.  But, I'm happy with being on the winning side of the close cut.  Just in time for week three to begin!

Time to bring up the randomness again.  Some bosses look like they'll follow you, but for others it seems like your positioning will exert no influence whatsoever.  One suspect, Lunatic Rain (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy_Wars:_Route_A_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_001), can yield a freeze bonus anywhere from over 70K to 30K when Luna Child is in an upper corner, and I have no idea how to salvage it.  Freeze early and catch the stars before they fly off the screen or wait for the others to expand, doesn't make much of a difference.  Everything about Sunny Milk seems to fall under this.  Diamond Ring (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy_Wars:_Route_A_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_049) can pull off over 200K per freeze, or you can be subject to the same fate as Lunatic Rain.

No idea if I'm using my bombs for the best spots on stage three.  The lone large fairy is a curious one.  If they're good candidates for bombing then I'll likely wait on Royalflare to work its magic and see how early to bomb to make the most of the knives and fireballs.

Confirming. Also, of note (albeit it's a really minor note wrt scoring because really, bombing it is a much better idea), at something like 50 seconds and 20 seconds remaining on the timer for the last Spell Card, the Spell Card bonus jumps up. Forgot to take note of the actual times but they're somewhere around there. You could freeze them off individually (or rather, without taking out the main one) but.... ehhh...

Regarding saving replays and having them break (e.g. incorrect route), I believe it only affects the X2 Routes, though I could be incorrect here; I've yet to have it happen to me on any of the X1 routes when restarting from Stage 2 onward (so for example, B1-2).

Freezing off the other fairies rather than taking them (in the non-spells, not the Spell Cards save for the last two; they don't drop Point Items in the others) out normally is also worth a rather notable amount. But it's really hard to do on the first non-spell of B1. Might just use a bomb.

Also, congratulations Heartbeam! I've been meaning to say that for a while  >_>;

EDIT: Let's start filling up the other fields with semi-decent nonsense.

Don't like the look of doing Hard, Normal and Easy because I feel that the routes would be too heavily affected, unlike something say, UFO!Hard and UFO!Lunatic. Sorry Heartbeam  :<

Lunatic - A2

Biggest mistakes:

Should've looked at a high scoring replay first rather than rely on my own knowledge, which only covered so much. I'll probably touch this up later. Oh, and this one ends at 611%.

Aww, thank you.  That means a lot.

I wanted to put up pretty pictures, but all the benchmark scores have since been beaten by later runs on the same day.  One of them scored a few 70K freeze bonuses against Lily White and left the battle with over 1M.  Entered the boss with 1.371M which is later beaten.  Haven't touched 1.4M yet, but there's no reason for it to not be possible.  A marvelous 85,000 freeze against Lunatic Rain and 45K on the following noncard for that 1.371M run, breaking 3.4M (which gets broken later).  Then the high score display fucked up.

A2 - Easy
Heartbeam - 34,079,810 - C - 0.240% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10273)


A nice 260K freeze against Diamond ring, and it was a first to leave stage two with 13M.  Upon reaching the final battle I sat at a never-before-seen score of 18M, getting me pretty hyped up which hasn't really happened in this game.  And isn't always a good thing.  Fuckups, ahoy!

Feeling rushed to end the first spell early.  Not careful with directing the fireballs above Star Sapphire so I eat one and finish her off with a deathwave.  Poor bomb timing all around for the final spell, and I die near the end, and neither of the top two fairies are frozen off.  I thought the freeze would finish them off, but it was also finishing the main fairy so I'm not sure.  Just like how it'll ignore the side fairies on a noncard if it finishes the main one as well.  Trash, trash, trash.  This isn't the end!

A2 - Easy
Heartbeam - 35,238,200 - C - 0.210% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10274)

Happy to let this sit without constantly thinking about glaring defects.  Let's go straight to the scoring points.

The freezing for one of the knife waves prior to Lily Black is absurdly weak.  I should try to imitate the timing used for the last set of knives, and I don't know why I let it run like this for so long.  Don't know what to say about the bomb timing for her second wave.  Just make sure you set it off when she's in the center, obviously...maybe?  And milking, of course.  Run that timer down next time!

Accidentally timed out Diamond Ring on an earlier run, then I finally made the connection between that and having Sunny Milk drop items for her final spell.  Best to worry only about freeze coverage than to try and finish off Diamond Ring?  If I recall there's one more wave after the one I'd normally end it at, but the timing would be very close.

Lots of holes on stage three still.  Right now I'm listening to the shots going off to know when to bomb, but again, no idea what the best timing is.  Ramming fairy section needs a lot of work.  Oh, and the best bonus yet for bombing the lone fairy out of five or so attempts.  Glorious.  Okay, that's it.  Not feeling well, can't expand on this.  Learn the timing for everything, wait for the stars to align and get favorable boss positions most of the time, blah blah blah.

Wait, forgot to bring up Fairy Overdrive.  That was the worst run of the spell I've ever seen.  Must have lost like 150K trying to end the blasted thing.  Haha, fuck you too and your hard-to-see health bars!  And as far as I can tell, freezing off the spell in the upper right corner for a 250K+ bonus is only possible if you damage Star Sapphire with frozen bullets from the previous noncard.  Nah, you can do it without that I think.  It'll be iffy racing them up there.

Yep, final spell bombing sucked as usual.  I'll take a pointer from maron.  Who wants to do 36 million?


Right, why is GFW getting so little traffic?  I wouldn't expect it to create waves like UFO (soaking up so many views, damn you), but I thought it would have fared better than DS.  Maybe it is, but I want better than that.  Poor, poor GFW.  I'm sorry.

Still working on my technique. I'm not happy with my "random deaths" pretty much everywhere, I have absolutely no consistancy on anything. Will come with time, I hope.

Here's some preliminary scores to give the thread some more life, I guess.

922%. Death on the last card, why not really? Don't have the patience to time out all the necessary attacks for score, plus the route isn't as dodge intensive as I like (re: too boring). Moving on to a different route...

B2 - Lunatic
Naut - 54,599,350 - C - 0.04% - Replay (http://score.royalflare.net/th128/replay128/th128_ud00cf.rpy)

561%. This is more like it, lots of good dodging on this route (not that I ever successfully do anyways, but still). Chaindied three times on stage 3, which was pretty disappointing. Died on the last card as well. But eh, this route is at least a lot more fun to play.

865%. Too many errors early, decided to try and salvage the run. Also, the "test bomb" on the first boss non-spell... didn't work as planned (30ish% return; no fairy got KO'd). Given the lack of bullets that are around for that fairy, I may just leave it out altogether, or try to find a time where the ring of bullets syncs up with the pause between the ice breakers. Eugh, probably not worth it. Lost control on "Fairy Overdrive"; I know that the charge is aimed but... I have this feeling that I need to get into position quicker.

What's up, blog.

(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9251/tgm210.th.png) (http://img706.imageshack.us/i/tgm210.png/)

I expected to experience my first rage session when the realization fully sank in, but I was only left with a lot of nervous energy and pinged someone I normally wouldn't bother for something insignificant like this.

Definitely no high hopes to reach 36M, but I wanted to push anyway and see how favorable the boss positioning will be.  A very, very fortunate run of Diamond Ring that probably won't happen the next 50 or so attempts, and landed a stage two score of 14M.  Reach the final battle at 19M, and now I'm hyped again because I know 36M is a good possibility.  Mostly decent battle, had another bad run of Fairy Overdrive and lost around 150K again.  Then I try to copy maron (successfully in the past), score 700K bombs each time, and this happens.

On the bright side, had this not happened I wouldn't have ran it again to test out a new idea against some attacks.  Doesn't save me from boss movement BS, but the freeze bonus will be higher on average.  Another buggy ending at 28.1M, but I didn't mind so much.

Easy - A2
Heartbeam - 36,510,960 - C - 0.160% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10294)

First, I expect someone else to pass 37M by a good margin in the future.  Might try later, but I can't put off Mars Matrix any longer.

Second, the first two midbosses are fucking trolls.  They're cool in the other games, though.  Lily White, quit hanging out at the side and upper corners.  Lily Black, quit moving up and staying up there to ensure I get the least out of my bombs.

Luna Child and Lunatic Rain, I don't know what to think.  I'm still sure she doesn't follow you on that spell, but if she did then it would make sense that she moves to the side more often than not.  But she did it even before I tried out this new method.  No, I think she's just natrually attracted to the edge of the screen.  And moving up.

I'm suddenly doing something different (and wrong) in the beginning because Orion Belt hasn't been milked effectively lately.  Didn't bother to freeze Fairy Overdrive, and against the final spell I had flashbacks of the ending bug, then proceeded to forget any plan I ever had for it.  Very messy.

Still working on my technique. I'm not happy with my "random deaths" pretty much everywhere, I have absolutely no consistancy on anything. Will come with time, I hope.

Here's some preliminary scores to give the thread some more life, I guess.

Oh, of course you're fine!  You know what I mean then.  I want traffic, traffic.  People dropping by to submit a run then usually never returning, but it's a unique post and that's good.  Maybe not deserving of an emphasis on traffic.

Regarding saving replays and having them break (e.g. incorrect route), I believe it only affects the X2 Routes, though I could be incorrect here; I've yet to have it happen to me on any of the X1 routes when restarting from Stage 2 onward (so for example, B1-2).

You're right, and you probably figured this out but I'm guessing it's because the X2 score is retained when restarting past stage one.  Picking the second route again would bump the score list up one position because it normally shows you the X1 record, regardless of which one is higher. 


Easy - C2
Heartbeam - 34,298,550 - C - 0.2% - Replay (http://score.royalflare.net/archives/th128/th128_ud0118.rpy)

Particularly disappointing Luna Child battle, especially the opener.  Sort-of-but-not-really hoped to reach 35M, and Hirona is on it so he/she can do it instead.  Might come back to it sooner than later, but there's work to do today.  Hopefully I have the ending bug ironed out now.  Just don't shoot both helper fairies while freezing.

Mars Matrix is a cool game.  Really nice atmosphere.

I didn't realize Kagamin's Normal A2 run had so much room for improvement.  And there's definitely a better time to bomb on Lunatic Rain, if I remember.  Of course, props for the new ideas needed to put the score up there.  Trying it out when I can set aside some time.

Something I forgot to say about Easy A2.  The last run ended Diamond Ring before its very last wave, but to do so the freeze went off for less coverage.  The timing for the last, single wave of bullets is pretty tight, and letting it timeout so the items can be picked up on the final spell usually eats up about 40-50K of the spell bonus trying to freeze it off.  Even before learning to end the final spell faster, still better off that way.

Oh, that's so sweet.  Then I watch my run again and wonder why it's so fucking shitty.  Forget about Normal A2, doing Easy A2 again this evening.  I need to put some sort of thank you in the comment box.

Obviously, I'm behind on the latest and greatest scoring practices. No, not really. Read on for the ramblings of an old man if you're interested.

What's really interesting is the scoring potential on Stage 1. Compare:
(http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/12/80/32/92/th/untitl35.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=814&u=12803292)(http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/12/80/32/92/th/untitl36.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=815&u=12803292)
Christ 11.6mil and no Spell Cards Bonus (which when added up, gives 200-300k at minimum). First credit in a few days to boot; sadly I haven't been playing a lot of anything recently save for... Visual Novels   :blush:
Can't even really call that playing, it's more of a read thing isn't it.

Some poor handling of Star Sapphire's second non-spell leaves much to be said; anybody have any idea what to do when she moves to the side of the screen? Because I have:
I really don't want to use a bomb (or two) there, and would most probably want it either on the Spell Card before (that one is a bitch btw), or the non-spell before (first boss; more optimal this way), or other places.

Then to top it off, a rather poor Stage 3 where I die before getting some good freezan in before Luna Child made her ~*~grand entry~*~.

Also, it took me a while to figure out the Motivation / Freeze scoring "abuse". Perhaps a bit longer than I imagine it would, orz.

Second, the first two midbosses are fucking trolls.  They're cool in the other games, though.  Lily White, quit hanging out at the side and upper corners.  Lily Black, quit moving up and staying up there to ensure I get the least out of my bombs.
This has been the cause of much frustration where I restart out of RAEG in the past.

(/note: My mind always associates the word "Route" with Visual Novels before anything else, even if it's not the topic at hand (e.g. talk of Routes in 12.8, i.e. this). Jokes about the "Lily White and Black Route"'s have been made far too often IRL when I'm talking with my special friend, not that it's a bad thing)

You're right, and you probably figured this out but I'm guessing it's because the X2 score is retained when restarting past stage one.  Picking the second route again would bump the score list up one position because it normally shows you the X1 record, regardless of which one is higher.
That would basically sum it up.

Obligatory HOLY FUCK 100 million broken as well.

EDIT: Oh, so she did change my avatar when I gave her the computer to use, go figure. Oh well, not complaining about it.
EDIT 2: On a sidenote, gogogo this topic / scoreboard has like 10% of the views compared to UFO.
EDIT 3: Okay, no more edits unless I get a better score, which probably won't be happening any time soon given my current circumstances.

Finished both of these a short while back on the same day I said I would make attempts.  Postponed until I could muster the courage to enlist aid for the comment bit of the submission, so thanks a lot, Drake!  You're the best, and the extra choices helped a great deal.  Also, a thank you to someone else who probably opted to remain silent so I would step out of the comfort zone.

Easy - A1
Heartbeam - 31,124,960 - C - 0.080% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10414)

Didn't intend to do A1 as well, but I chose the route by accident, went through without remembering anything from the old run, and ended up too close to the original goal of 30M.  It's amazing how things click.  Give it another shot, get a bumpy run.

Easy - A2
Heartbeam - 38,044,400 - C - 0.160% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10415)

Screwed up an otherwise somewhat decent first phase of Lily White by choosing poor locations to freeze for the second phase.  There's that part after her where the large fairies drop in on both sides and the bullets converge...no analyzing at all so I don't know how to consistently bring out an additional minimum of 30K.  The rest left to boss movements, ending stage one with 100K less than the usual decent run.

Not much thought really goes into Lily Black's first phase, and I should care more at this point.  Her second phase was a little lacking, about 250K off from the predicted perfect setup without taking into account the missing potential of additional regular freezing, but it could have been worse (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10384).  Not exactly ideal to bomb from the start because she isn't centered, but putting it off could deprive you of a semi-good position that never appears again.  Well, I guess you'd restart anyway until it gets tiring, then you'll take whatever.  A fair bit of fluctuation with the freeze bonus for her final phase, not counting the one botched freezing attempt.  Proximity comes into question again.  Not freezing at 100%, so should I move closer without charging to try and graze more?  Or simply move closer while still charging.

There's that aimed knives portion in stage two, and I haven't tried anything new with it.  Maybe exhausting a freeze before the first one drops in, then I won't have to shoot it down and can continue with the 30% bursts.  Then again, I didn't have to shoot it down in the first place but that's the only pattern I'm used to.  Needs to do a fairly long freeze chain as well.

I don't know about the timing for Prism Flash (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy_Wars:_Route_A_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_045), yet.  13K to 74K, whatever goes.  Again with Diamond Ring (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy_Wars:_Route_A_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_049), there's no certain sense of timing that says, "This is the best for the boss positioning at this location, from this angle."  Lucky break there, ending the spell without compromising the timing of the freeze or going through the trouble of freezing the last wave after that.

Small things on stage three, like shooting at the fairies a bit before dropping the second bomb so they'll actually be frozen off instead of left standing there like I've always done it.  Same with the first bomb, even.  There's that regular freeze after the midboss; I want to try and catch the green bullets along with the rings.  Perhaps I should shoot less during the endstage second noncard and rely more on grazing for the meter.


So we have these little tweaks to make, some that aren't mentioned, and some that have yet to be discovered.  Even with these changes and getting perfect conditions for boss positioning everywhere, I can't foresee a 40M run.  ...no, of course I can.  It's in the back of my mind, and I'll hope someone manages it in the future (but I won't lose sleep over it).  No, I'm sort of cast in doubt about 40M again.

On and on, and details presented in a mumbled boring fashion, and I'll finish this post later.

PLEASE DON'T EAT MEEEEEEE  ;_______;

Stage 3 was p suboptimal. I could've pushed for 88 "safely" but as expected, I messed up. No, not the "I got hit by a bullet" type of messed up (well, just a little...) but more "I'm not freezing the attack properly, thus my returns are smaller".

Mine on top, UKT's (current) on the bottom.

Theoretical is something like 12m / 27/8m / 90-93m currently.

Good watch; some higher-level dodging (in my opinion, though admittedly I've been taking rather large risks lately and it may just be "normal" for me). 7002% Total Area Frozen. Other runs that I've done have gone as high as 7.3k.

Side-comment, if it were possible, I would like it if you could get yourself "stuck" on Level 10; it's by far the best for scoring.

I'll cross-poast at the end of STGT. Even though I'm not participating.

Heartbeam stuff goes here when I'm not busy.

I got around to watching the run and I must say, it looks very, very different from what I would expect when it comes around to handling the stage(s).

>so should I move closer without charging to try and graze more?  Or simply move closer while still charging.
I think you can get away with being slightly higher / lower from the center of Lily Black's hitbox, and moving strictly in one direction. This way, you can still (hopefully) move out as required while simultaneously grazing additional bullets, but of course, testing would probably be required to confirm / deny this approach as being viable.

...I can't see anything actually wrong with your current approach (save for very few things that add what, a few extra thousand? hundreds? for example, freezing "rings" of bullets is better done just a bit out away from the boss as opposed to as soon as they spawn would cover a sliiiiightly larger area, ref: Star Sapphire's Mid-Boss Spell Card), but this might just be due to unfamiliarity.

Awesome stuff! Glad to see that you aren't letting go. :)

A shame, though, that your superior bombing reflex actually made you lose points in at least one place in the run. :V It really seems it's easier to make up lost motivation points than to make up lost score for a missed 80%+ freeze opportunity at this stage.

Bombed too early, some VERY, VEEERY stupid mistakes and some RNG giving me the middle finger. Everybody has trouble squeezing through rings. Pushing for 90m; 93 just seems too far off. Oh, and 996% or some nonsense like that; I wasn't in the mood for pushing it toward 1000% for this particular run when I have failed no less than 5 other runs (all entering Stage 3 at >700%) at varying %ages (from 200% to 600%).

12.5m, 28m, 90-91m seems reasonable.

Just because.  Not on Easy so of course it's going to be a stupid run.  About an hour ago I picked up Yyk's C2 replay and thought Hey!  This doesn't look so bad so maybe I'll give it a try on Hard.  How about a ballpark estimate of 67M.  The other ancient entries outside of the A route would probably go down without much trouble, but it'll be a waste of time as the succeeding runs won't be impressive and just as susceptible to being beat out if someone else cared enough to play the difficulty.  I might invest some time into C2 Hard...sort of doubt it right now.

The previous post was supposed to be finished?  I'll put it off again.

How does the 38M target look?  Better than before when I thought the entire run would be hinged on the outcome of Luna Child's opener and her Wall Break (2nd spell).  And to a much lesser extent her first spell, but it's about normal to get high and low numbers of 70K (sometimes 110K+) to 20K in any given run.  It still is, mostly, but at least I can raise the score in other places and make the 38M run come around that much earlier.  Too often I'm ending the stage with 11.2M and less when the run barely touching 37M did 11.5M.  Based on everything I've seen you could enter stage three with 12M.

When I come back to it, which should be in a few days again because I feel apathetic towards these games right now, I'll no longer be able to make myself ignore studying the stage.  Third one in particular.  There's too much fluctuation in the stage of about 150K, and one particular spell and noncard bring to question whether or not I should freeze early for almost twice the value, but deal plenty of extra damage to the bosses.  A balance needs to be worked out, probably more suiciding for the noncard.

A bomb was transferred out of the stage, costing roughly 200K but...where did I use that bomb?  The important part is being able to freeze one of the massive yellow waves for bomb stock and making it feasible to reach 1000% motivation while bombing the usual spots, but the benefit from moving the bomb, and the performance of this run with a stage two score of 11.4M...something doesn't add up.  Barely froze enough bullets to bomb the final spell three times, and I had to shoot down one of the side fairies before the final bomb finished for fear of it ending the spell (which it did, maybe with some help from the icicles).  So a side note that everything will count and I should freeze Ice Dissolver (second endstage spell) while shooting it down, and possibly during Fairy Overdrive when I can't reach them that well.  Bombing the massive yellow wave needs to be copied carefully.  Watch a run that worked better than usual, do everything.  Count the waves of bullets spawning.



(/note: My mind always associates the word "Route" with Visual Novels before anything else, even if it's not the topic at hand (e.g. talk of Routes in 12.8, i.e. this). Jokes about the "Lily White and Black Route"'s have been made far too often IRL when I'm talking with my special friend, not that it's a bad thing)
That would basically sum it up.

Oh, even something like "A1 Route"?  I've had it creep up on me while writing up comments for PCB stage four and its boss battle, but I can't of an alternative as short and convenient as that.  Everything else sounds off, but "route" is fine if the mind isn't already influenced by other things.  Out of the very few VNs I've played, I can't remember the last time I touched one...I'd like to try out Umineko soon.


Oh yeah!  So, after making this post (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,156.msg373418.html#msg373418) and thinking I should find a better input device, I began with a key remapper.  Nothing worked without jamming except for the numbers (at least bringing up the menu is convenient) and I tried that out for a while.  The directional keys on the laptop were very good, or I wanted to think they were, and I stayed with it until the keys locked up on me anyway and acted as though they were pressed down.  Happened on and off, regularly, no clue as to what I actions I should take.

Next up, bought a Razer Lycosa.  I wanted a regular one but the store I looked up and went to only had the mirror edition in stock.  I couldn't test the keys on the spot, but other keyboards were on display so I went around and fiddled with them.  A sales associate whose help I turned down when first arriving at the aisle approached me again 20 minutes later, making light of the fact that I'm still here.  In a nice lighthearted way.  He really was a genuinely nice person, and after opening the box to let me try the keys I couldn't say I didn't want them.  Didn't test them that long to be certain of the purchase, but I'm already nervous enough from being in social contact for that short period.

I tried it for a few days and decided it wasn't for me.  If you like quiet keys then have a look at these, but I could never be sure when I made contact.  I need that defining click.  Took some pictures (http://s832.photobucket.com/albums/zz242/AnonymousPM/Misc%20Gaming/) before returning it because it looks nice.  Now the latest version of the SpeedPad, the n52te, was on display when I checked at a later date, and functioned quite well.  These games aren't important enough for me to be in a hurry to try it out, but there's a full refund if returned within two weeks.  And how long ago did I see this?  There's only my shyness stopping me from going out and buying it.

Another day when dropping by the store I saw several the Deathsmiles Limited Edition on sale.  Not wanting to be seen near the game for too long I picked out a case in the middle, glanced at it to assess the damage, and made the purchase.  I return home to see there's two creases on the corners, damn it.  They were still selling several copies a few days ago.  Hmm...

I've yet to play it.

Finally, while testing with the Razer Lycosa I thought of using the arrow keys on the laptop while the keyboard handled everything else, just to see how much better the keys are.  Then I realize I'm an idiot for not doing the same with the SpeedPad, and that's the setup I'm currently using.  I know there's much better out there, but no rush.

Now I've uploaded a raw video recorded about two months ago, partially to show the setup (and you can't even see the whole thing), more because of an inspiration from a certain someone.  Putting it up because there's not enough of its type but I'm not going to fix it, because I'm going to do it right in the distant future, because I think it's beyond repair because of that huge damn glare on the screen.  And I guess I should have tested somewhere other than the menu, like running the game a few times so I'd know it would happen.  I'm technologically impaired and don't have the slightest clue about properly setting up.  Using a camera, attach it to a study lamp where my head would be so I have to look at the screen from the side.  I don't even have it on a desk normally; the laptop is usually sitting on the floor.  The neck of the lamp blocks the screen so it's a little difficult to make small adjustments.  Don't know how to work with the focus while recording so if the camera itself adjusts the lighting for the screen to look decent then you can't see the keys, which is why I had to turn the lights (not the lamp) on.

Anyway, here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZtLuOlRgNQ) if anyone is ever curious about the setup.  It's only PCB stage three (as if I would play anything else).  I'd enjoy seeing it from other people, preferably more than just a picture.

I'll no longer be able to make myself ignore studying the stage

I still don't want to study it.  I did until I couldn't find the replay that scored 574K on a single yellow wave, but I'll go looking for it again.  A previous run made better use of the first two yellow wave fairies after the midboss, scoring 640K, and I forgot to save the replay.  Not fully understanding wakaba's comment I feared he/she triggered the indefinite ending bug with a score like that, and watched to make sure.  It wasn't the case, but I picked up a helpful pointer for a regular freeze during stage two with the ring fairies after the midboss, gaining about 12K.

I forgot to consider the section after midboss Sunny Milk, which I pretty much suck at without a bomb.  I...think it's still better to go without for that part.  Maxed out the motivation or bomb stock during stage three when I didn't expect it, which made me worry over forgetting something, but it turned out okay.  Bombed a little early for one part of the boss battle, lost my head during the final spell because I was hyped starting from the end of stage two with 11.72M.  And to clarify, the bare 37M run with 855% motivation ended stage two with 11.58M.  I at least have some idea of what to do for Wall Break, which is wait for the obvious gaps which will eventually pop up, then bomb shortly after that.  Does it work...at least the bomb won't land when the gaps are wide.

Progression should be something like entering Lily Black with 700K -> enter Star Sapphire with 2.03M -> end stage one with 3.92M -> enter Luna Child with 6.1M -> end stage two with 12.1M -> end stage three with somewhere around...a nice sound number like 39M.  Off the top of my head.

There's some easy points to recover from stage three then hoping the stage two boss doesn't flop, but with the distracting goal out of the way I'm not worried about running it so soon.

I'm in the middle of exams, but I don't care! I still have like 5-6 days to study for the other two; it's not like as if I'm slacking off or anything. "New" freezing options / optimizations allow for 92-93m... maybe.  Chickened out of doing various scoring tricks / finishing off scoring tricks (most notably, freezing one of Luna's Spell Cards for constant consistent 40-50%s as opposed to the less rewarding ... 20-25%s?).

That was also one of the worst Star Sapphire battles I've had to date. So in the end, I'm still a coward. orz.

12.5m -> 28.5m -> 92-93m?

Lots of stuff
Yes, even something like "A1 Route" can cause the conversations to take awkward directions. I've only played a "few" VNs myself (<7).

I'm interested in trying that setup of yours. As for mine, standard keyboard on a table, 17" LCD monitor; nothing special overall. Problem with actually recording for me is that the current room that I'm in lacks this and that, so the camera stand ended up being a pile of my textbooks in a drawer. I'll see if I can find some way to record both my hands and the screen, (so far, it's been either screen-only w/ the sounds of the keys being struck and an odd-angle UFO run). Here's the left hand on z, x and c (http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/12/80/32/92/img_2628.jpg) (for focus, fire and bomb respectively)
apologies for the blur for this one
and the right hand on the directional keys (http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/12/80/32/92/img_2629.jpg).

Wanted to go back to Easy A1, but while watching on Lunatic to refresh my memory of the spells to pop up it's "Yeah...I haven't gotten over stage one of the A route being boring.  And slow repetitive rings."

Normal - C2
Heartbeam - 48,725,950 - C - 1.0% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10680)

I wonder why Kagamin never finished the Normal sweep.  C2 would have gone down without a hitch, but that's okay!  Now I get the fun of figuring out the route.  Soon.  Who knows when.  1% slowdown, courtesy of freezing and shooting during the final spell which was fun.  I don't know where the score will end up, but I expect it to be the second-highest scoring route on Normal.

A lot of unnecessary movements for the final noncard, but it looks exciting.  Spazzy, but nice to watch.

I have no idea how to score higher, even now.

Collaborate.  Copy other people's ideas.  I'm not sure how to describe the route forming process because I'm sure I'm slower than the average person to figure stuff out, given the same timeframe.  Bit by bit.  Look for areas with plenty of bullets, plan your bombs around it.  Consider the trade-off of bombing versus the usual gain from regular freezing, points and contribution to the bomb stock.  Remember, 30% is the magic area when you'll get the max benefit of 20% to your bomb stock instead of starting at half and lower.

Or like this.  Extra emphasis on abusing the freeze ability, it's a plus to just about everything.  Play through and try not to hang out at 300% bomb stock for too long.  That's when you consider the bullet-thick sections you've been through and where to distribute them.  Great way to make the fireballs useful as they soak up a lot of area when frozen.  And I can't explain this well.  Someone asked several days ago and I had the same problem; I wasn't satisfied with any advice I gave.

I don't know, I have things to lay out but it's late.  Maybe later.

I was very happy for Dream Dweller to push ahead, and the new improvements have made 40M very accessible.  A test is coming up so I probably won't attempt it until Friday evening.  I want to think you can spend three bombs on the final noncard, but I didn't try it out.  Star Sapphire's version of the final spell is more durable too, so that'll help with freezing up to the 300% stock.  Freezing off all the fairies on Fairy Overdrive is certainly doable and would be worth a few tens of thousands, but I'd rather be cheap and freeze off only the main fairy.  Unless the side fairies drop 40 items each instead of 20.  I've never...checked.

The new potential stage one score is 3.75M, but I want to throw on at least 25K because I didn't count.  The boredom has since worn off, and stage one is a little more fun again.

Geez, I don't know how I could fail Luna Child's midboss spell.  First time ever.  33M is the target, but the freezing value for some parts can be a bit volatile.  The second stage midboss...Lily White, was it?  Second attack needs a certain timing range along with the power of the freeze to score in the 70K range without freezing the bullet lines on top of her.

Did I overestimate the route when I said I expected it to be the second-highest scoring for Normal?  The run is still lacking, but I never looked at Kagamin's A1 replay to see if there was any immediate potential for improvement.  I've seen the C1 run, and I'm sure I can edge it out fairly easily (without bringing anything new to the table).

There's like four attacks I don't know how to handle in the final battle, slowly dissolving the motivation.

After I said it would be a waste of time to do Hard, but why the hell not.  And if I say they wouldn't be impressive, the obvious answer would be to keep at it until they are.  I know Hard is mostly unpopular, but why were the scores so close to each other?  Way too disturbing, and seeing them merely edged out again made me do something about it.

Heartbeam - 40,063,360 - C - 0.070% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10850)

I'm happy for the milestone, but the route is far from finished.  Two obvious mistakes in the final stage easily costing up to 360K, one of them from suiciding for no good reason during the second noncard of the final battle.  There won't be a shortage of bombs thanks to the heavy benefit from freezing the final noncard; I'm sure I can bear to live at max motivation for a minute or two.  Orion Belt was pretty interesting.  First time I've frozen the spell like that, and I'm not sure what influences where the bullets initially spawn.

Okay, how about a potential of 3.85M for stage one.  I said you could possibly score 500K from bombing Lily Black's second phase, but...I might tone it down to 485K.  600K for Sunny Milk's second noncard is fine, if a bit lofty, and Diamond Ring will be fun to speculate on.  I've already seen 388K in a previous run.  Then some other stuff, and imagination, and there you have it.  41M and a few hundred thousand extra change is the new pipe dream.  I'll try for 40.5M later by fixing those glaring mistakes, doing a better job with Lily Black's final phase, and wait for a little good luck with boss positioning.


Some cool tidbits about PCB shots (http://web.archive.org/web/20040617054859/www.lasermarisa.net/spring_main.html) I found linked to while doing the occasional check-up on HS-Sanbo's Twitter.  Too bad a lot of the pictures won't show up.

Oh, Fairy Overdrive.  I didn't pay enough attention while watching another run, but it was around 300K (both fairies frozen at the same time).  That's enough to convince me to do it right.  It's fun to do it like that, anyway.

Heartbeam - 41,098,790 - C - 0.120% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10976)

Finally.  This route with this difficulty, I hate it all.  Missing the first bit of the Starcraft II finals to run one, just one game was worth it!  That's how it should work, doing a star run in the morning after sleeping over it.  Only this one has nothing to do with playing better after getting some rest because I'm always rolling the dice with this.  Rather, it was pitiful and the luck carried me through.  Unbelievable.

Freezing instead of dying against the two fairies before Sunny Milk for 80K.  That miss would have been transferred to another suicide against the opener to dull the freeze damage and freeze again for 40-60K, though I could have done it anyway and have the bomb meter cap out early.  The extra lives are really for suiciding against the final noncard of the three fairies for safety even though the score takes a hit.  Tripped on Diamond Ring even though it went my way.  I don't know much about freezing positions for midboss Star Sapphire's opener, but doing it from the corner like that will usually take a hit of 30-40K.  Just that once, I didn't want to risk dying trying to squeeze between the bullets.  Inexperienced with the final bomb used during the stage, but I should have moved a bit.  The bonus can go for upwards of 400K.

Last section of the stage failed spectacularly.  Opener messed up, second noncard messed up, Orion Belt...I think that's the first time I've seen it open up like that.  Small hit during the final spell, anyway...I've decided not to go back to this, not for a while.  As promising as those improvements look, too much falls on waiting for the bosses to quit trying to leave the screen.  I didn't lose over 20 hours of my life to lose to this game, and after reaching the target I'm not going to stick around hoping for the bosses and Diamond Ring to work out.  Diamond RingDiamond Ring.  Absolute bane.  The sole reason I no longer restart over poor Lily Black phase two positioning.  Oh yeah, I could move that suicide against her first attack into the second one and do a regular freeze three times, but...actually, no reason not to?  Huh.  At first I was worried about her falling into a favorable position while I'm screwing around with the regular freezing, but the concern is really only for the third bomb that won't pop up until most of the freezing is finished.  Actually, I guess that's justifiable.  I hardly see her move back near the center nearing the end of the timer.

Holy shit that nydus worm.

So then, highlights.

The time elapsed reset for some reason.  The last I saw it was at 116 hours.  Throw in about ten more games quit right before or during the final spell.  Extra stage is locked again and the spell record won't list anything past the first two on Easy.

Going back to the 500K guess for Lily Black's second phase.  Managed to score 489K on that and 606,880 for Sunny Milk's second noncard.  Bumping the stage one limit to 3.9M after scoring 3.818M, but I'm sure if I went back and counted 4M would be the faintest possibility.  I couldn't put that stage one score to good use because the weapon upgraded after freezing the first set of fairies before Sunny Milk, leaving me with no idea as to how much I should be shooting the fairies (they never flash when nearing their demise) and missing the next four.  Personal best for Diamond Ring is 424K, 124K for Lunatic Rain.  Prism flash has exceeded 100K on three occasions.

Special thanks to moozooh for the new direction and making 41M easier to reach!

Double post becuase this score takes the top spot, and editing it into the other post would feel kind of "sneaky." Not sure if Heartbeam or anyone else really cares, but whatever. In any event, I'm glad I was able to score over 80mil. I might be starting to see the appeal of scoring, at least for short things like Extra Stages.

I met my initial goal of 60 million for all routes on Lunatic. I actually overestimated the difficulty of this... Looking back, it was a pretty weak goal, just surviving well and using some bombs for score here and there is enough. However, I've learned now that I definitely favor some routes over others, so my new goal is not to improve all the routes or anything like that. Instead, I will start focusing on the routes I enjoy the most, and those are at the moment A-2 and B-2, so I will start learning more in depth strategies and make sure I can actually pull them off somewhat consistently, before I can truly say that I am capable of getting a run I am happy with. As an initial goal, 70 million for B-2 and 80 million for A-2 seems reasonable, but we'll see what happens, and I'll be surprised if I do not want to push those routes further than that.

For now though, I'm toying around with Extra, and survival-wise I think I have it down okay. I'm wary of killing myself too much, though. The biggest difficulty lies in actually freezing and milking well, it is anything but easy, and this is the reason why the gap between 80 and 90 million must be huge (not to mention 90 and 100 million, that gap must be totally enormous.)

Maybe I'll try to beat Zil, for a start, or maybe I'll give up before that happens... Either way, it goes without saying but this Extra stage is a lot more challenging than the others, and this IMO makes it more fun to run. I have much practice to do, still, as I'm nowhere near having an acceptable score before Marisa (or after Marisa, obviously)

Played with a controller, so it's very messy. No scoring tricks whatsoever. In fact, I intended it to be a no-bomb run as well (to practice dodging in dangerous situations, etc.) but caved on the last spell when I saw how high my motivation was. Of course, I should have used the other two bombs as well before ending it, but I didn't.

I thought I'd give Hard mode a chance. A few attempts later and I finally got something resembling a decent-ish run. My first full run landed at a pathetic 52 million, and after that all of my attempt were scrapped due to shitty playing, plus one game over due to waaaay too many suicides. There's a lot things to be unhappy about, such anything Star Sapphire related (I cannot milk midboss Star for the life of me) and some of my strats are too safe and do not yield a very high score. I misused some of my bombs. I also didn't have as many bombs for Sunny as I would have liked. Bombing her nons and her final is worth a lot. I would kill myself more before/during her fight, but I actually did not reach 1000% motivation this run (I think had 974.)

I think I will do this a bit more until I can at least milk Star properly. Too bad there is no effective way of practicing in this game.

Figured I'd target the easier spots. B-2 didn't even have a score submitted. The B-1 run was terrible. The other was a bit better, but still bad. Is it me, or is Normal mode not much easier than Hard? I'll have to give the other routes a try on Hard mode. I'm hoping to do some serious scores once I'm better at the controls.

Also, I think Fairy Overdrive glitched out in B-1, unless the fairies are supposed to go outside the screen like that.

Bad stage 1 as always (I just don't care about it enough) but I can feel slight improvements elsewhere. I have a few tighter strategies now , and I'm still working on learning more. Should have scored higher but I really messed it up at the end, using up two bombs for defensive purposes and thereby ending with only 2 bombs to cash in on the final with, plus I actually died to the final and didn't clear with 1000% motivation.

The stage portion did not go too well, as I had only a measly 12,5 million entering Marisa (my target atm is 14) but the Marisa fight is the best I've had so far. Unfortunately I finished with 950 motivation so lost a bit there. I had only one bomb on the final phase and accidentally deathbombed (well, it beats dying...) without actually defeating Marisa. Having no idea how to not lose motivation without using any bombs (if that's even possible) it kind of ruined my run right then and there, but I'm still in a learning/experimentation phase, so no biggie.

Although I have no intentions of getting close to the WR, 90 millions is within reach if I want to take it that far...

This thread needs more love so I'll input my extra score, granted it lags behind chum but hey.

Extra
Mesarthim - 68,442,010 - C - 0.020% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=28374) (No Death)

Finished on 990%. There were two close calls that I deathbombed out of. First was due to zoning out and bombing out of hunch which worked in my favor on the fifth nonspell, second was bombing because I was too damn hesitant to take the beams on Grand Cross.

B1 runs are trash, but I think I won't improve them, least fun route in the game probably.

The C1 Lunatic I want to improve further, still, and then onto either B2 or back to improve my A2 runs because those were not good.

I'm gonna improve the Normal and Lunatic scores some more, I was thinking at least 60 mil for Normal (probably a bit more though) and at least 100 for Lunatic. Indeed, I fucked up the Normal and Lunatic runs so much that I believe I should be able to reach either one without that much trouble.

After that I think I'd rather play another route, unless I want to push one difficulty further, which would probably be A2. If I do play a different route, it will be B2.

Crap RNG on stage 2 cost me some millions (2~3?) and stage 3 had at least one pretty grave mistake, so I'm going to keep pushing myself. Now I'm restarting if the RNG on stage 2 is below average. I only know a few places where I'm actually losing points every run, that have "nothing" to do with RNG (scoring wise) and I'm not currently sure what I'm actually doing wrong. In a couple of other places I'm actually improving on the WR, so yeah, I'm pumped to keep pushing onward.

I'd definitely count this as the best run I've done in a video game.

These were basically just test runs that I did shortly after skimming through the WR replays. I don't really care for doing Hard mode seriously, but maybe if someone challenges my score? B1 is rather odd, I'd like to try it more; maybe to beat Baity, but only as a break from A2 when I feel like taking one.

I've been drilling Lunatic A2 a lot and surprisingly I am not yet sick of it, even though the scoring is ridiculously RNG based at points. My goal is currently to get 110 mil before the end of the year. Sounds difficult but I'm up for it.

Because the previous run had too many faults, here's one that's much better... I might grind it out more though because Fairy Overdrive was beyond awful. Died and missed the frozen items...

Well, it looks like Clock is already attempting to retaliate, I wonder if he'll end up coming out with a 59 million run? I doubt I'll ever go that far.

Nothing special here, but I figured that beating that old run by BaitySM, which was a good run for its time, means an update is justified. Not sure what'll prompt another update though.

This might resemble a decent run (keyword is might... too many problems for my taste) but the submission is only to show that I'm getting somewhere, not that I'm actually finished. In fact, once again, WR is a possiblity here, but it would require a lot of luck and patience, and some brains, since I think CLR's route can be improved on, just not yet sure how to improve it.

Hey guys, so not long ago, I'm beginning to get to where I can 1cc Great Fairy Wars normal mode at a somewhat consistent basis (May vary by routes), and I decided that I think I could improve scores of what I have done so far, so I decided to work on improving my A1 normal score, and it went fairly well, despite a lot of errors on my part, but it was sufficient enough for me to warrant a post up here on my part :):

This one, despite a lot of errors, as I mentioned already, still was a pretty good improvement, score-wise, from 17 million to 22 million on my end. I will improve on this sometime, no doubt.

Hey everyone, it's me again, after a bit of time! Yeah, I just wanted to post this little score up, which happens to be my 1st route B1 1cc of Great Fairy Wars on normal mode! I did this one last night, and after some thought, I'd figure I'd post this one up.

Normal - B1
The Kid - 23,188,780 - C - 0.0% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33694)

Screenshot:
Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/1strouteB11ccofGFW_zps8ca006a9.png)

So yeah, this, to me, seems like one of the harder routes to do in Great Fairy Wars (Well, in normal mode, at least) and it took me a little bit longer to get this out. Yeah, there's plenty to be improved upon in this one that I'll consider coming back to someday, but for now, this one will be alright for this particular route. Guess that leaves just one more route to clear for me, C1, before I can unlock the "Mystic" (Extra) stage for GFW, as well as me playing in harder difficulties and try to learn to score a bit better in GFW.

Also, yeah, I guess I'll also mention this, for what it's worth. In the screenshot, I did name this replay as PTG. I'll be naming my future replays as PTG from this moment on, after some time thinking about this. Just thought I'd mention that. Also, yeah, I did use the P key to take a screenshot of this! Pretty cool thing I learned, thanks to Karisa, so props to her for telling me about that function!

Heh, it looks like I've come back sooner than I thought! So, yeah, not long ago, after sitting down for an hour or so with Great Fairy Wars, I've gotten my 1st "Heroic" (Hard) Mode Route A1 1cc of the game! This comes the day after I got all six routes beaten for normal mode, unlocking the "Mystic" (Extra) stage for me, so this was pretty cool!

Hard - Route A1

Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/1stHeroicHardModeRouteA11ccofGreatFairyWars_zps91480d47.png)

So, yeah, I didn't expect that I'd get this "Heroic" (Hard) Mode clear so quickly. I just sat down with this thing for an hour, and well, it worked out, despite some pretty glaring mistakes in this run that I normally don't do (Well, okay, it took a little while to do, because I did try this one before earlier in the month, and it didn't work out quite well then)! I guess watching replays from a few other people helped a lot, hehe! That, and this score actually isn't too bad for a 1st "Heroic" (Hard) Mode 1cc, or so I think, so it looks like it's a bit worthwhile to post this.

Hmm, at this rate, I should really go take on the "Mystic" (Extra) stage of this one, and perhaps clear a couple more routes on "Heroic" mode, and start to aim for the "Legendary" (Lunatic) Mode 1cc. That, and I think I'm beginning to score slightly better at Great Fairy Wars. A lot of work to be done still, but overall, yeah! =D

Hey everyone, it's been a while!

This time, I got something big for you all here... And here it is!

I would like to thank Chum and Zil (I know Zil's not around here no more (I hope he comes back someday)) but I still want to thank him, even if he doesn't know about it) for helping me out in me getting this 1st ever clear on Legendary (Lunatic) mode. Your replays and your appearances in STG weekly for Great Fairy Wars helped me out a lot in understanding Great Fairy Wars, me thinking to give this game a 2nd, and this time, honest, chance, and me starting to clear this game on lower difficulties. If it weren't for you guys, it would've taken me a while longer, and me still being rather nervous about playing this game. I would also like to give a shout out to Karisa, Shimatora, and Sapz (You three are a great inspiration for me! I don't know how good I can really get, and I don't know if I deserve the honour, but someday, I hope that I can get to actually meet you three, along with chum, zil, Sakurei, Naut,, Minogame, Denpa, Cactu, Nereid, Erppo, Jaimers, and the guy whose name starts with a Z that I probably shouldn't around here, so let's leave it at that, and others out there (Sorry, if I didn't mention your names, there's a lot) and hopefully, I'll have improved a lot by then, to where I can see you all eye to eye, to where I can return the courtesy back. Until then, I'm going to keep it up, and do my very best, in the Touhou STG and other STGs!) for maintaining the Hi-scores section here on HME! You guys are great! :)

Several months ago, and even earlier, this game used to beat the crap out of me so bad, that there was a point, where I kind of avoided playing this game for a while. After improving my skills a bit (Beating Subterranean Animism on normal mode helped a lot, as well as beating a few other Touhou games on Heroic (Hard) mode, and watching that episode about Great Fairy Wars on STG weekly eased me a lot, to where I started to play this game rather extensively, and well...It all led to this great moment.

This makes Great Fairy Wars the 2nd Touhou game I've beaten on Legendary (Lunatic) mode! I beat it on route C-2, apparently the easiest route of them all for that particular mode. I guess it can only get better from here. Now, I just need to beat Marisa, and it's going to get really good! :) It's not completely over yet for me with this game, but this is a huge milestone for me! :D As to where I'm going to go from here, well, let's just see (Well, I'm also working on Shoot the Bullet (8 scenes left), as well as Perfect Cherry Blossom and Smbodiment of Scarlet Devil, so those ones are immediately near my proximity).

During this timeframe, I also did a couple other stuff as well. I'll also submit those two, while I'm at it:

Hey everyone, it's been a little bit since last time!

*Edit July 13th, 2014* Right, I now have the screenshot for this one. Also, not only that, but as of yesterday, I now have the Fraps tool to make gaming videos with (At least, on the PC), so I now have the ability to upload videos on YouTube, and with that said, the video of me clearing GFW route A-1 on Lunatic mode is up! =)

Also, while I was at it, I did this little thing back on July 3rd. I'll submit this one, as well:

Hey everyone, what's up?

So, yeah, I've been putting this one off for so long now, but finally, as of yesterday, I actually got to sit down with the Great Fairy Wars extra stage, and after an hour or so of some serious playing, I've beaten the extra stage of Great Fairy Wars! :) It was about time I did this, it was long overdue! It's been a long time, since I last cleared an extra stage in the Touhou games! I have got to stop putting them off, honestly, but anyhow... Here we go:

Extra
The Kid - 40,022,210 - C- 0.1% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33990) - Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/PTG1st1ccofGFWMysticstagemode_zps6b806398.png) - Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d-SXcQqzbY)

Surprisingly, this didn't take very long, once I figured out exactly what to do in many areas. I did tons better than I did a while back, like, last month. For the hardest extra stage boss in the Touhou series (Or so I've heard), Marisa isn't that bad, really. The strategies I used in my extra stage 1cc run were inspired by and based off of chum and LimD's strategies (I learned a lot from both their replays, like chum's stage strategy before Marisa in his scoring replay, and LimD's survival strategy against Marisa in his no death/no bombs run), so I would like to credit those two for helping me out a lot, and I would also like to thank Sakurei for giving me a couple pointers on how to approach the extra stage of Great Fairy Wars! You guys are great! But yeah, I'll plan to improve on this one sometime!

Hey everyone!

Yeah, as of last night, I managed to make a big improvement over my 1st 1cc of Great Fairy Wars route C-2 lunatic mode, so here's a score that's better than the 1st time around! :)

Lunatic - C-2
The Kid - 47,205,270 - C - 0.190% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34001) - Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/ImprovedC-2_zps105e1795.png)

Yeah, I'm working up to the point, to where I should be able to clear route C-2 on lunatic mode on a consistent basis, as well as improving my scores a bit more. I'm also going to see, if I can pull off an LNB with this route. It would certainly be my 1st ever LNB, so let's see how it all works out! :)

Hey again!

So, not long ago, I made this improvement on my GFW C-2 lunatic mode score:

Lunatic - C-2
The Kid - 56,228,980 - C - 0.2% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34028) - Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/PTG5millionimprovement_zps1e677194.png)

Other than that, there's not much else to say, so... yeah! :)

Alright, I pulled off yet another improvement. This run went quite well, actually, better than expected! This one's the 1st time I got over 60 million ever for GFW route C-2 lunatic mode!

Lunatic - C-2
The Kid - 66,034,180 - C - 0.2% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34044) - Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/PTG66million_zps482bc64e.png) - Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL-3oUheLKc)

Other than that, that's about it for now.
