Periodic Touhou Tournament (Discussion Thread)!

[Shimatora]

More people should try the Special Lunatic and Extra challenges. :<

Maybe. If I'm feeling especially masochistic.

[Zil]

I certainly will once I have time. Lunatic's gonna be awesome.

[BT]

I would be giving it a "shot" if it weren't already being dominated. *shudder*

[cactu]

cmon zil

[Zil]

I'm trying! You aren't making it easy. D:

[Karisa]

Is anyone else going to try MoF ReimuC Normal? That replay I posted (which I was hoping for some incentive to try to improve) isn't even a no-death run, so it should be easily beatable simply by not dying.

[cactu]

Is anyone else going to try MoF ReimuC Normal?

I would if I didn't have huge input lag on MoF.

[Zil]

Bleh. I've done all I can do. I might try a few more Extra runs later tonight, but that's it. I don't have it in me anymore.

Brilliant playing Cactu, and thanks for the competition!

[cactu]

I FUCKING SUCK! ;_____;

Silly suggestion for next special challenge:


Compete for most uses of the gap (SA ReimuA)

[Chuckolator]

Serious suggestion for next special challenge: Lowest graze, in a game with a graze counter that isn't SA. I'd watch replays of that. <_<

Also bump.

Regarding this fortnight's tournament thread, I was thinking about having Mystic Square this week for scoring, the reason being that Mystic Square is a candidate for the final week of STGT (starting next week), and I know there are people who often participate here who are playing in STGT. However, we had MS a little while back - so, anyone mind having it in again?

[touhoumaniac]

I don't mind

[Seppo Hovi]

Just make it Mima, since STGT requires us to use the highest scoring shot.

It'd be fun if someone who didn't participate in STGT beat every TiH member in MS.

A possible idea for a future special challenge could be "unlock Hatate as fast as possible", using a new score.dat and going off of the in-game timer.

[Shimatora]

Mystic Square! /o/

A possible idea for a future special challenge could be "unlock Hatate as fast as possible", using a new score.dat and going off of the in-game timer.

I sadly don't have logs of the discussion, but actually Sapz's original idea was to make a challenge about clearing DS as fast as possible. However it got... refined a bit, due to the large lenght of the game.

[I have no name]

It's only 2 and a half hours (or less).

[Karisa]

EDIT: No, nevermind.  I'm sticking with this score.  Tired of restarting over bad RNG on the first 5 seconds of the game.

(responding to this from the submission thread)

Do you mean restarting to reach DreamBonus Max as soon as possible? It doesn't matter too much on Normal in my experience. It takes over 20 point items collected at 51200 instead of 100000 before you've lost a million points from a late DreamBonus Max, and one accidental death later in the game can cost more than that.
