yeah, go, do it. I am awaiting for NBNUFO with anticipation
new stuff from my scoring endeavors. it was pretty fail :V
I didn't have ny busted borders for once, but I need to work on my them. I get some of them really inconveniently placed. due to the 3 bombs in the beginning of the stage and that border (yeah, what Zil said is true, not doing it is silly), I get a border in the dialogue for chen. my timing's still far from optimal (I get 20k-35k cherry from the first border, HS gets over 50k), and dur to all that, I don't have a border ready for the spamfairies before chen, even though it's important since I can squeeze 20k out of them. then there's red and blue oni. I can't milk this. too difficult and it will just cost me a life. I know HS bombed it in his run for cherry, but only very late into the spell. I don't have that confidence, so I usually capture it and take the 5-6 million from it. I often have a border ready for the next spell, try to graze as much as possible, I didn't pay attention to how much I get, but my estimation is somewhere aroun 15k. obviously, getting borders ready for the spam kedama is imperative, but I can manage that much. I actually haven't missed a single border for those yet. but my last stage potion border comes too early! it doesn't last long enough to graze the first part of the memo-section. so I somehow need to push it furhter back somehow. I also aren't managing to kill off every fairy right before the last kedama-spam. 2-3 usually survive and I have to fix that, too.
now, for the boss herself. I generally don't milk the spells, due to me having absolutely no confidence to survive through it completely. I do have 4 bombs ready for the fight, so I try to milk the first and second non as much as possible. 2 bombs on each. I am not sure if that's optimal, but I must assume it is. I also stop shooting whenever I have a border to maximize the cherry gain from the pattern. I am not sure if that has to be done every time or if I am doing a mistake through that. anyway, I milk the first and second non, but here's where I have my first big mistake. I die on the 2nd non, because the bomb didn't want to activate. that was really odd. I actually wanted to restart, but this was my best run yet, so I kept going only to die to 12 generals, too. that was pretty severe and those 2 deaths were my biggest mistake in the run. it's not that I would have gotten 1 billion had I not died, but I'd have gotten the life bonus at least.
I wanted to milk fox laser for graze, but I stopped shooting too late, so I finished it off with 7.5 million spellcard bonus only. I didn't do any major mistakes form that point onwards, but I feel like I should graze the spellcards more to get higher spell bonuses. I don't know how people are doing it to push ultimate bhuddist over 10 million, but I didn't get past 8. at least I didn't die to kokkuri-san's contract. that was 13 million if I remeber correctly. also managed to PoC after unilateral contract without getting hit. so that was something :V
3 things I need to work on: 1. border timings. I need borders when I can supergraze. simple as that; especially in the stage potion 2. don't die like a retard 3. milk better
