My replays are not tool-assisted; they are the result of 1000+ stage runs and 750 VoWG attempts spread over about 2 months. In the first 3 replays I uploaded I wasn't playing for score; I just wanted to get to VoWG as fast as possible, so I take risks (Often dying- I don't care, it's just a practice run) to make the rest of the stage go by faster and be less tedious.
What convinced me most in his replay of VoWG no-focus timeout is the bomb he used in the first non spell. In the stage he was taking gigantic risks to keep his score, but bombing that non spell turns much of the point item into power item, which a professional scorer would never do.
1. I actually find Kanako's opener harder and more tiring than the entire stage before it.
2. Like I said above, I wasn't going for score.
3. I'm not a "professional scorer".
...also the beginning of VoWG was just BS.
I micromemorized that first wave and can pull that off 90% of the time. (Not sure if 10% error rate is due to randomization or movement throwing off the red wave's aim.)
1. Pick up the items from the previous spell card and get to the bottom center of the screen.
2. Get as close to the center as you can using the E in the enemy marker for reference and focused diagonal movement for extra precision.
3. 3 "walls" of red amulets will come at you. 2 in front that overlap as they reach the bottom of the screen and 1 more spread out behind them.
4. Don't move, and the first 2 waves should narrowly miss you.
5. Tap to the left/right to dodge the third wave.
It's important to do the first 2 steps quickly because at least the red waves are aimed.
...the strat for scoring is well, outdated. Clearly, he hasn't seen my scoring strat for the stage :V
I've seen your replay, but you use ReimuA and don't collect some point items at max value. Don't think it's possible to get all of the items at max value without bombs.
He's missing another 4 point items on top of his current score.
You're talking about the ones that became power items after Yamato Torus, right?
