東方輝針城 ～ Double Dealing Character

[Sapz]

Welcome to the Double Dealing Character high score thread!



Please patch to the current latest version of the game, v1.00b - the patch can be found here.

Rules:

• Only submit scores that were made on one credit - no continues!
• Slowdown should not be higher than 5%.
• Replays required for the #1 spot!

Please use the following format to submit your scores:

Difficulty - Character
Name - Score - Stage - Slowdown - Replay

Example:

Lunatic - Reimu A
Spaz - 50,000,000 - 3 - 0.2% - Replay

Clears are henceforth denoted as C in the interests of standardization.

Note: DDC replays hosted on Maribel Hearn's Gensokyo Replay Archive are displayed as TD replays, as that's how the Gensokyo replay uploader interpreted them. For these replays, you'll need to change the file name before the game can detect it. For example, if the file is called th13_udAZ01.rpy, change it to th14_udAZ01.rpy.

First attempt at scoring, not much planning yet.  Finding a place to raise the PIV a bit more in stage 1 or 2 might be worth it, since I had a spare life on the clear.  Timed out the second stage 2 boss spell by accident, not enough time spent under her :<.  So far I'm liking this game a lot more than UFO and TD.  It almost reminds me of LLS 

[Tengukami]

Er, quick question: for whatever reason, I get some weird intermittent lag during parts of the game, resulting in at times double-digit slowdown rates. Is there a cap for how high the slowdown rate is allowed to be? I would of course prefer the lowest possible rate and will continue working on eliminating the lag here, but I was just curious.

(On another note, that the way this game coincidentally caters to the way I play has me interested in submitting an entry in the first place was a pleasant surprise.)

[Sapz]

5% total is the standard used in all the scoreboards as a slowdown cutoff. Have you tried messing with the settings and turning them down?

[Tengukami]

As with pretty much all the later Touhou games, custom.exe will not open in WINE for me, so I don't have a way of adjusting the settings. Closing the browser and wiping the memory before starting the game helps, but won't get me below 5%. I'll continue digging around and seeing what I can do, though.

I'd guess 250m+ is possible, I ended with 2 spare lives which means a lot of unused bombs which could have increased my PiV early.

Just a crappy score for this category. Pls someone go beat it.

Edit: I'm too retarded to find the slow-down rate without asking for help. In a year or two, I will be reduced to wearing loincloths and hitting people with rocks.

Might as well, though I doubt this random no-death Easy clear is that good. Easy mode scoring seems fun in this game though.

Easy - SakuyaB
Karisa - 138,770,930 - C - 0.0% - Replay

SakuyaB test run using ARF's strategy. That bomb may not be very useful for survival, but it's quite useful scoring-wise...

[chirpy13]

Chirpy13 - 137,706,220 - C - 0.0% - Replay

Better route than my last run, but failed Kagerou's final :<.  Probably lost about 6 mil from that.

[Seppo Hovi]

So, after clearing the demo with SakuyaA, ReimuA (the wacky one) and the Flamethrower Marisa (fuck yeah), I decided to look a bit into scoring without any research or whatever. Some practice in stages 2 and 3 could be useful, since I rarely capture any stage 3 attacks on some shots and have trouble against several on stage 2, if the RNG gets me good.

Lunatic - SakuyaB
Seppo Hovi - 183,299,880 - C - 0.0% - Replay
The uploader I put it into doesn't comprehend TH14, so it thinks that the replay is from TD. You'll probably have to rename it.

Horrible handling later on. Higher scores would be reachable without much sweat, but I'll probably leave that for someone who actually enjoys the bomb-spammy play.

I'll look into score optimisation building on Normal and Easy tomorrow. I promise.

Oh, also, the text file for the current standings is now available (and it'll be updated more frequently than usual as long as I'm active in this thread, since I use the new-post indicator to keep track). See the link in my signature as usual.

Not quite enough to beat Seppo on ReimuB. Would require me to get better at capturing spells. I couldn't capture a single one in that run. I really suck at shooting games. Did better with SakuyaA because she's SakuyaA. Let's get some more scores with her on the board.
