Wow, and I was thinking about a Stage only challenge. But UFO? Hm...I'm not too sure =(
I'll try it out, but I do want to do PCB to see if I can break my score

You are in no position to complain! My exams are likely to be just about the time the TD demo gets released.

But it seems there are competitors for Stage 5 UFO. Cool. I'll see what I can do when I get home. Or during recesses or whatever.

Yeah, I guess I'll go summon more blue UFOs for points.

Most times used (~95%) should be from this week. Before falling asleep i involuntarily imagine collecting ufos and not failing.

No SotW next week obviously because it;ll be Touhou Tournament for another week in a row due to the TH13 demo.

It's the closest we're going to get to that blind scoring competition. Of course, we'll all have some experience then.

^Thanks for telling me! =D

My notes after playing it if anyone cares:

Marisa is awesome =D.  Youmu is very awkward to play as, but seems like she'd be a good scoring character - the focus slash is very powerful, but it's relatively short range vertically and requires charging.  UFO power-up system (.01 power per item, 1.00 loss per death), but red items are in much smaller supply, making a dying a pretty big deal here - hopefully this is modified a little with the full release.  More on dying, you get white spirits for everything you kill in the after-death phase, which are very nice for score.  Intentional deaths for scoring plus the major power loss on death makes it seem like scoring will be pretty challenging here.  Point item increased through grazing, not too bad.  Also increased through collecting blue spirits, a little scary.  They aren't collected on PoC, and bosses drop them while you're attacking, so it looks like boss-hugging may be a part of scoring here...  Third boss has the interesting ability to suck in spirits and recover health.  Her last card requires you to pick up the spirits before she sucks them in unless you feel like going for a timeout.  Bullet-wise it doesn't seem terribly difficult.  Normal mode definitely wasn't any worse than (or maybe a bit easier than) IN.

EDIT:  I see people talking about hypers in the scoring topic... I'm guessing this means I can activate them with C or something?  Time to go check...

This is annoying. I'm really wanting to do PCB phantasm for this but I just never get enough time for it. Gonna be out all day tomorrow, and after that, I have studying to do. I don't like this.

Just to give you guys a heads up - I'll be away at 1PM GMT, so tomorrow's games may start earlier or later than usual, depending on what time allows. Regardless of that, it'll end at the same time as usual, 1PM GMT on the 2nd of May. Sorry for the possible delay. :V

Oh man, Week 7 will be fun. If this didn't happen to be my crunch-time week, I'd probably be able to do the special challenge too - I'm really overdue to learn how to supergraze SA Stage 4. I probably still won't be able to do much with TD, but since Reimu's my main anyway I should at least get some runs up there.

I really wish I were good at grazing... SA stage 4 is one of my favorite stages of the series =p.

I love SA. Except I can't graze ;_;
Highest score right now is only a measly 35 million T_T
I do love Stage 4 though. I'll try again later

Man, I can't reliably get close to my best of 219 million before Satori. A lot of the time it ends up somewhere near 200 or 210. :/
Guess I'll have to seriously plan the post-midboss stage bits.

Also, these people without Stage 4 unlocked :/
I'll make a score.dat with this stage unlocked so people can enjoy.

edit: SA Stage 4 unlocked for ReimuB on all difficulties.

To all you guys who edit strikethroughs into your old scores after submitting new scores - you are the coolest dudes ever. To everyone else - it would be badass if you could do that too. It makes updating much easier. :V

Will do =3.  Do you want us to strikethrough stuff you've already updated too to keep track of what you've already done?

Nah, if it's already updated don't worry about it, though obviously it's fine if you do anyway. :P It's handy for big updates so that people's new scores don't have to be updated multiple times for no reason.

Actually quite fun, even if you can't score :D

I know I can break 50M in SA, but for some reason I cannot capture all of Suika's cards in one run :fail:

Been trying out SA normal for the tourney, and I thought I did decently well with scoring. So I checked out what the score table looked like....

I SUCK! :derp:
Back to the drawing boards.

EDIT: And why is that smiley miss-aligned when it's aligned in the preview?

You can do it! I'm still trying to perfect Satori.

Haven't gotten that good yet. Her second card always seems to get me. Especially in earlier said run, I died from an early pellet bullet because a power-up item was on top of it, perfectly. Figures.
