Title: Touhou Score Thread IV
Post by: ARF on June 29, 2012, 05:36:07 PM
Can we have a score thread again?

Thinking that this might be a good general thread for this topic, has anyone watched any good progaming documentaries lately? I watched Frag and King of Kong today, I know there's a general touhou documentary, but wouldn't it be neat if there was one focused specifically on the lives of touhou superplayers?

Given the chance, would you want to feature in a film about touhou superplayers?

It would be cool to know more about the superplayers than their Tweets and blogposts tell, indeed. However, I would not want to be shown in a documentary myself, since I am not a superplayer. And to be honest I'd rather keep some privacy.

Yes! But isn't there a pretty big competitive touhou community in Finland? I would personally think it would be cool to get the different perspectives of people from different communities, like American/Finnish/Japanese/Chinese and such, but it will probably not happen unless touhou becomes more mainstream.

Even if asked, I would be very reluctant about being interviewed myself, who knows what the people making the film make out of the footage, you could end up looking like a complete douche like Billy in the King of Kong.

OK, this thread seems about to be locked, so I might as well ask again here:

Does anyone have any idea how to reach the 90,000,000 score in LLS Normal mentioned here (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lotus_Land_Story/Translation/Other)? It seems to imply that it's possible to gain 27 million points in stage 6...

Finnish touhou community has grown. 3-4 years ago there was just Ltc, sasupoika and me. But now we have many skilled players.  Enough players that we can have our own weekly tournament. You can see the archive here (http://touhou.fi/forum/index.php/topic,466.msg43795.html#msg43795).

I do know something about Chinese touhou community because I have followed them for years. Doujinstg has a thread about Chinese players. link here (http://bbs.doujinstg.cn/read.php?tid=2468&page=1). It's a list of players, there's little bit some background information about them like what school they are going or what they are doing for living and then there's of course a list of their achievements.

So I checked the EoSD score board and I was surprised that the highest Lunatic score had gotten past the highest Extra one.

Looking at the replay, I think it's the most impressive scorerun I've ever seen. Dude supergrazes literally everything (often for very little point reward), dodges every pattern that he doesn't bomb for star items perfectly, and I can't even see any room for improvement. Looks tool assisted, even, but I assume that if it's on the wiki it's not actually.
Title: Re: Touhou Score Thread IV
Post by: Seppo Hovi on July 13, 2012, 02:11:17 AM
IIRC the current EoSD overall WR by Ichizoku on Lunatic collects several point-items under the PoC at places where they - could - be picked above the PoC and also fails Scarlet Gensokyo.

http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/High_scores/Updating_guidelines
I assume the people updating the high score boards believe it is not tool assisted.

Detecting tool assisted replay issue has come up several times in the past. Some time ago there were some tests done to detect tool assisted slowdown (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12716.0.html).

It's not my fault people took it off topic  :V

Although if people could call out the slowdown in spells practice then they'd definitely call it out in a full run.


I'm kind of curious what the process is for developing scoring routes, anyone has any insight on that? (not because I want to do them, but because I want to know how it's done)

When I made my SA route I just learned to graze a few things and practiced some attacks/spells to the extent where I could time it out effortlessly in practice, then I tried doing it and adapting if anything went wrong.

If you are making a route to beat the WR I would guess either studying the current WR and other high scoring replays and mix their routes for a better result and making notes of how many and where the items in the games are dropped, how much graze/UFO's/spirits etc. can be gained where and basically test some stuff to find something that you think can give you an edge over the current records. Honing your skills to the point where you feel that you can pull off all the supergrazes and spells you intend to capture along the way is probably a good idea too. But I'm not sure since I never did anything like that.

Oh, and DSDQ when?

Does anyone know what determines the number of points you get from freezing in GFW? It seems that for really low percentages you just get the percentage multiplied by 1,000. It's different after that (~70% will give you half a million, for example.) How it translates into motivation and bombs would also be nice to know. I've seen that getting 30% freeze area will give you 20% bomb increase, while 29% freeze gives you ~10% bombs. If there are any other 'thresholds' like that it would be good to know about them.

I'm not sure why it works or how to consistently do it, but I remember players missing there back when the WR routes were less polished, meaning that it's difficult even if you know how to do it, so I'm guessing people are losing runs there still.

With ReimuC/any other shot-type besides ReimuA/any other difficulty than Lunatic it isn't, and you don't have to bomb it, it is possible to escape the supergraze, I think I did that in the old replay where I also supergrazed Okuu's opener.

Second, it's never tranced, and I can't see any reason for it not to be used, besides being very difficult and maybe losing some spell bonus from capturing it slightly slower?

I remember T stating on IRC that he would possibly plan on using it if Ichizoku beat him using that tactic. If you are able to beat him, he will probably either resort to it or start reforming his route through the stage and the boss.

You know, ARF, the superplayers usually are acknowledged of the tricks, however, when they skip using some and still achieve WR scores, they happen to have good reasons to do so. You should not worry about them not using some tactic, unless you are planning to beat them with the said tactic.

I think I would have enjoyed the game more if the spell cards were worth more, to be honest. Would make scoring a little more interesting, and you'd have to plan out hypers/bombs. Not that you don't have to do that now, of course. It just means that there is atleast some reward for skillful play of the stages, being able to capture every card for instance.

What's even more amazing is that this seems to be a somewhat low end result from his route and what he is capable of, I shuddered at the end of stage 5 and I don't get what happened in stage 6, seems like he was thrown off his game.

I hope he'll keep working on this. So much awesome.

I also watched your recent 1.39b PCB Normal, it was a shame what happened against Youmu, and before reading you WoT I couldn't be sure if the death in stage 3 was planned or not. I like you playstyle, I hope you keep on trying for 1.4 and beyond.

Yeah, he is not satisfied with Stage 5 and 6. I guess we can expect a new score to surface sometime.

EDIT:

Uh... he's not doing the kilking of Unzan's eye on the final spell. What gives? I thought that was supposed to be pretty lucrative? He also lost two lives in what looks to me like really stupid ways. Stage 3 post midboss and Murasa's 3rd non-spell. Ends with two lives so he could probably make do with less reds but then I think he put that in his comment too.
Title: Re: Touhou Score Thread IV
Post by: Heartbeam on August 11, 2012, 03:28:16 PM
The second death looks intentional.  I wasn't paying attention the first time but saw that after the respawn it looked like an awfully good timing to run up and catch the next wave for grazing.  The second time around you can see him stop shooting before charging up.  Then, taking into account that he has to refresh his bomb stock for the following midboss there's only two places that come to my mind where you can utilize that death: the noncard and the beginning of stage five.  I don't recall the stage five suicide ever being put to use on Hard/Lunatic, though.  Perhaps it's too much to navigate at that point, and the higher graze value from the noncard makes the alternative less tempting.

And then maybe the whole thing was plan B starting as early as the death in stage three.  Assuming he lived and took advantage of Unzan's eye I would expect him to enter stage four with two bombs and one less life, or maybe he would hold off the second potential death during the eye and save it for one of the suicide locations mentioned above. 

Edit: Depending on the circumstances with the laser spawn he might still opt to use a bomb on the eye after that second death rather than move down, and everything would still proceed as usual in this run...into a clear with one spare life?  Sounds more standard than two at least.  And reasonably safe.

The tenth anniversary of the release of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was yesterday... Let's celebrate by counterstopping it! (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18591402) :V

41323 rerecords, using ReimuB on Lunatic. Replay is available. Video was recorded with a cheat that stops the score counter from capping at 999999990.

Please post a link to the replay file.
It's linked in the full nico description.

I'm attaching it to this post anyway though.

Just note that when watching the replay, the score freezes at 999,999,990 during the Sakuya battle (then jumps to 1,121,601,290 at the start of stage 6 and remains there until the end).

Thanks for the replay. Full video description can be seen only when logged in?

So I checked the EoSD score board and I was surprised that the highest Lunatic score had gotten past the highest Extra one.

Looking at the replay, I think it's the most impressive scorerun I've ever seen. Dude supergrazes literally everything (often for very little point reward), dodges every pattern that he doesn't bomb for star items perfectly, and I can't even see any room for improvement. Looks tool assisted, even, but I assume that if it's on the wiki it's not actually.
Looks tool assisted to me too.

CAT improves his MarisaB Easy score by 10 millions (http://score.royalflare.net/th11/replay11/th11_ud1162.rpy) and pushes it over 700 millions.

Grazing in EoSD is paramount when scoring, since the value of the bullets cancelled is increased depending on how much graze you have.

About it being tool-assisted, he did skip a few supergraze spots which were done in previous runs iirc and probably were too risky for too little gain, and it's accepted on royalflare so I don't think there's any cheating involved.

Alan improves the Scarlet Team's WR in IN (http://score.royalflare.net/th08/dlreplay.cgi?id=24e5) and by doing so gets the highest overall score on the entire site!? Where did the Youmu WR's go?

Anyway, he one life clears the entire game and doesn't miss a single last word, also the best Mystia midboss spell supergraze I can remember. Anyone care to estimate a potential maximum score for Scarlet Team within the current players capabilities?

Alan's Youmu replay was gone from Royalflare when I checked sometime (a few weeks or a month maybe) after it was originally posted to send the link to someone else. I linked to the Touhou Wiki download instead... speaking of which, Touhou Wiki's high scores page currently says that the IN record is 30 million higher than Alan's, without linking a replay.

Wow I didn't notice the new Youmu WR, but how annoying that the replay is missing.
