While trying to get new highscores I've discovered something that definitely helps getting better scores. Under normal circumstances the player gets 100 points for an enemy hit. And that applies for cases that don't include glitches. Normally, one has to be quick. But to my surprise, if the player tries to draw the trajectory of the next move, the slow-mo is present. With that thing it's much easier to get 100 points per hit. From some point I decided to use such a trick. I don't really consider that category a speedrun, but if it's present, I'm trying it out. But I'd like to ask you about one thing. Should such a trick be allowed or should it be banned? In case it's decided to ban such a trick, I can cancel my attempts that use the trick.
Also, since I did some off-recording stuff in the game, I've noticed that in some levels with such a trick it's possible to max the score out. What I mean is reaching a max score for a level. For now I'm not sure in how many levels it's possible to reach a max score, but if the case is the max score can be reached in several levels, then should it be considered to kind of rebrand the XP Highscore category? Either that or deleting a category. I'm gonna be honest; I don't see the point of the XP Highscore category if there is a certain "point score" that cannot be beaten. Of course, there might be glitches that'd allow to get a higher score (though I'm not sure what kind of glitches it'd have to be), but unlike the "time scores", it wouldn't be that relevant to keep the "point scores" if they cannot be any higher. Update: For now I believe a max score can be reached on levels 1-7. Imo, the levels where you can max out the score are the ones where all the enemies have 1 heart or where you get to kill the enemies with the explosive bottle or a bazooka. Not sure about the levels where some enemies have 2 hearts. 3- or more-hearted enemies cannot give you a perfect score unless you get them off the screen, but that can be inconsistent.
Yea I’ve kinda regretted making that category. I’ll make a post about removing it first before I do.
All FG category runs have been moved to any%. If you run has accidentally been removed, please contact a moderator or resubmit.
