東方妖々夢 ～ Perfect Cherry Blossom Demo (v0.01) TAS: Lunatic MarisaA 1,116,495,030
10Rerecord count: 23,158
On a whim I took a crack at TASing a scorerun of the earliest PCB Demo. As I was doing it, I realized a big difference:
Star Items are equal to your graze count in terms of score (rounded down). This is much more score than the full game. Coupled with the ability to get cancels at every 50,000 Cherry Points, allows you to get many cancels for Star Items. Since the Point Item Value also maxes out at 400,000 on Lunatic, this makes Point Items pretty irrelevant at some point.
This is just EoSD on steroids. Since I realized this big difference, I put a bit more effort into getting a big score, hoping to crack 1b. Stage 1 and the first half of Stage 2 ended up being a bit sloppy compared to the rest of the game. Overall though I didn't put real serious work into this. It took about a week to make this. Other differences I noticed that I didn't note in my LNN video are as follows:
★ Increasing the Spell Card Bonus by grazing increases it by alot less than in the full game. My best SCBs end up around 20m when the full game TAS gets bonuses of around up to 60m.
★ There's more spells that have reduced density than spells with increased density so there's slightly less graze to obtain.
★ Dying cuts your Cherry Point in half and using a bomb brings your Cherry Point down to roughly 70% of your current Cherry Point
★ Alice's second non is also 10 seconds shorter and her third non is 10 seconds longer (compared to fourth and third non respectively in the full game, since the non order is different).
★ There's a bug where if you kill Alice's penultimate in the last 1½ seconds or so, the final spell gets skipped, because the timer keeps going between the end of the penultimate and the beginning of the last spell. This bug almost ended the run prematurely when I was doing the TAS (clip linked below).
★ Not really a bug but still peculiar: if you use a bomb, your Cherry Point drains, but if you get a Star Item on the perfect frame, you can get a Cherry Cancel, as if you passed a 50k Cherry Point threshold. This happens once during the run, giving me the 100k Cherry message twice. This would likely also work if you got a Cherry Item during the bomb.
One more thing is that running this game in Windows 10 gives immense input delay. If you run this in Windows XP however (like I did to TAS this), the input delay is only 2 frames. The game is clearly designed with XP in mind, so it would actually be better to play this version on XP, given that there's no functional vpatch for this version.
