Chirpy's Challenges - Round 2

I recommend T98-Next, though if you have a PC that can't run it at 60fps then NekoProject II or Anex86 work.

Thanks dude :3

Just a first attempt, will definitely be submitting a better one later

I doubt it will be accepted without a screenshot (besides, that score is extremely high - especially for easy mode o.0 - are you sure it wasn't 15.9mil?)

Use the Print Screen button on your keyboard and paste it into paint, save the image and upload it to imgur in order to get screenshots.

Did some research from whatever runs I can find available, but my executions are a bit rough. I haven't quite got the timings for bombs yet. Probably what I need to see what I can do later is see how well I can weaken the enemies in stage 4 before I drop a bomb since the bombs I used in this run usually end before I can get the point items. Sort of experienced some slowdown during Marisa so that is kind of why my slowdown is over 1% (not sure if its a good idea to record with Skype running in the background). Speaking of Marisa, I sort of timed how I finished her off badly. Ended up finishing Marisa with little to no bullets on screen.

Recorded the run, but I'll probably upload it when I wake up in the morning.

New submission, much better this time (but still not better than Prinny )

First time I got to 80 million in LLS. Gameover on Yuuka, though.

Might as well reflect while the run is still fresh in my head just so I don't forget stuff later. Hopefully I remember stuff better if I put my thoughts down somewhere.

Stage 1
Pretty much using similar strategies as my normal run. I'm still not used to the graze box in this game so I kind of fail at trying to graze Orange's final pattern.

Stage 2
Still not too sure on the bomb timings. I think I ended up adapting the timings I learned from easy here so I don't know how good that is. I should just bomb Kurumi's second pattern. I can't read that too well so I ended up wasting the bomb drop from Kurumi midboss.

Stage 3
Think I got lucky with the midboss here. I tend to not have any luck surviving this guy. Elly went better than expected. Died once on her. Previous attempts had me dying twice against her.

Stage 4
Putting some effort into weakening the enemies before I use a bomb. I don't know how to dodge the opening pattern the midbosses in this stage. I also feel that I didn't use my bombs too well here. Felt like I used one at points in the stage where they wouldn't be too optimal.

Marisa sort of went well, but I think I still bomb spammed her mostly because I was scared and didn't want to die.

Stage 5
I suppose stage 5 better than expected. Still had to use a bomb at the end because I don't know how to dodge the bullets there. Think I did alright on stage 5 Yuuka.

Stage 6
Okay I think I acted like an idiot here. I don't think the suicide I did here helped me and I sort of regretted that when I didn't have the resources for Yuuka. I'm also not sure where in this stage I should be dropping bombs. Decided to take it safe on Yuuka's second to last attack, but I think it would have been better scorewise if I tried to milk it. I think one of those enemies also killed me when it got close to the bottom so milking it probably would have been a better idea. I think I also died on Yuuka's second pattern since I was too high up on the screen for it and forgot how I should try grazing it. Should just stay at the bottom before moving up.
