- special: EoSD no bomb survival?

I'd be up for that. The reason I didn't play in this one was I didn't want to play IN my least favorite Touhou window game or SA the one I suck the most at and can barely 1cc easy.

UFO Marisa B score run XD
No, I'm actually joking.

I liked the no-focus run. I didn't get a high enough score, but it was fun. Maybe another no-focus run?

Zengeku · « **Reply #272 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:52:51 AM »

Heh. Nobody made a MarisaA 1cc in SA. Proof enough that she is useless to me :V.

LHCling · « **Reply #273 on:** February 22, 2011, 08:10:11 AM »

Psh, 1cc's are overrated. Why go for a 1cc when there's plenty of SKOR to be had? BV

If there's anything that I've learnt from doing this week's scoring it's:

MarisaA's bomb is excellent, and severely underestimated
That larger grazebox is delicious, useful and completely outshines having a smaller hitbox
~~I probably shouldn't go and wreck my wrist in the latter half of the week~~

I should also mention that I do have an improved Easy run, but I forgot to submit it. Hooray o 3o

You'd get more points if you 1cc'd.

A base 1cc doesn't get you a better score than a run where you die prematurely grazing throughout the entire game :u

No, but a 1cc with scoring methods applied will. And to my recollection, there exists ReimuA survival-plays that got the same score as your MarisaA scoring run. I do acknowledge the fact that MarisaA sits has some very excellent top scores set for her on royalflare but she is still not as high as ReimuA and since almost nobody can play well with her i'd say she is quite useless still.

ReimuA may be overpowered but at least she is useful. There is also other less "overpowered" alternatives that doesn't suck. Personally i wouldn't call her overpowered though. Just the only proper forward focused type that has a decent bomb.

How can she possibly be useless, when she has her own scoreboard?

Everyone has. Even MarisaB in UFO. And she is a completely different league of useless. The reason for the existance of that scoreboard is obviously for people wanting to challenge themselves with handicaps. There should be a no-bombs one too. I'd be interested in just how high people could score in SA without bombing for graze.

Usefulness has nothing to do with that. If a shottype exists, it'll get a scoreboard.

I see no STG of the Week up in the arcade =(.

So yeah, fun week this week, especially the IN. Looking forward to the next :3.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #281 on:** February 22, 2011, 03:10:23 PM »

There should be one soon. But it's looking like it'll be some masochistic stuff at the moment though. But hey, maybe I'll get farther than I have before in it, assuming nothing actually ends up passing it.

I could have probably 1cc'd if I grinded it out, but as I mentioned I didn't have time to. I do plan to grab a MarisA 1cc sometime, so you can expect to see it whenever that happens.

Marisa B is really good character for UFO scoring. I would be happy with that choise. Reimu B (homing reimu) is the worst shot type. Impossible to get any good results...UFO Reimu B score run week would be my worst nightmare. Oh, and Reimu A is pretty difficult too...

You're missing the point. When you're not competing against other shot types it doesn't matter at all what kind of scoring potential they would happen to have. It's like saying lower difficulties are useless, because Lunatic gets you more score.

MTSranger · « **Reply #284 on:** February 23, 2011, 03:25:36 AM »

I would've entered the contest, but.... argfretghh lost 4 lives in IN stage 5 normal.
Still can't believe that happened, or else I would've 1cc'd.
Proves that I can't control Youmu and deathbomb.

Ooh Ketsui. I'm so bad at that game, but I'll give it a go. Looking at the choices I kinda wish we got DDPDOJ, but Ketsui would be my second choice of those, so it's all good =D.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #286 on:** February 23, 2011, 03:33:32 AM »

Gradius III was in the lead when I posted that. Ketsui isn't masochistic.

Still, maybe I can get to Stage 4 of the SotW game this week. I have gotten to stage 3 boss before.

Sapz · « **Reply #287 on:** February 23, 2011, 04:53:14 AM »

Ketsui becomes pretty masochistic whenever someone says 'Ura'. :V

Well, playing at lower difficulties is pointless when you are capable of playing a higher difficulty. At least playing as a different character serves as a handicap.

Sapz · « **Reply #290 on:** February 23, 2011, 08:53:42 AM »

It isn't a handicap because you're not competing with other shot types; each is judged on its own, and each has its own scoring potential. Same for difficulties. Why else do you see very high level players tackling tons of shot types and difficulties?

Zengeku · « **Reply #291 on:** February 23, 2011, 09:19:01 AM »

No, i was just thinking about one character compared to another. Then having less damage and a larger hitbox + more unwieldy weapon is a handicap. When competing with other MarisaA players the competition is of course fair enough.

Paper Conan · « **Reply #292 on:** February 28, 2011, 03:11:43 AM »

Hey, we can't let this thread get all moldy and sticky the day before the third round now can we? This time I'm going to actually participate instead of just submitting last-minute entries.....
All of you better watch out

Btw, scoring challenge idea..... Touhou 13 (demo ver.)!!!!!!!! (when it comes out) :V
