I'm real sad a-cho is closing. I got to visit Japan a long time ago and it was one of my favorite game centers. I hope you can find a new place to play 😥

Thank you! I'll try my best, although I don't get to play the EXA version too often, haha.

ok I found their site, but are the machines staged anywhere regularly when they're not at an event? Is there a mailing list or event calendar or any other way to get announcements besides going on the hellish bird site?

@@williewillus Yeah admittedly they do a poor job of advertising (in retrospect I should have helped promote these myself too, haha). They're not a traditional arcade per-se. Their main business is renting out cabinets to conventions and whatnot, but they occasionally open their warehouse for one-day events like this too. I've heard they're trying to open an actual retail location next year too, but I have no clue how well that's progressing. They also have a discord if you'd like to follow them that way discord.gg/NatVsj2eVK

​@@marus-mpoawesome, thanks!

Thanks! Yeah it was a shame but it was still a fun day so I'm glad I tried. I mentioned the differences from scoring in the description, but in terms of survival the other big difference is you get less resources. On PC, every 3rd border will give you life fragments instead of bomb fragments, and borders will give 3 fragments if you get them to level 3. On EXA, borders only give bomb fragments (no life fragments ever), and only give up to 2 fragments per border. Aside from that, EXA has some nice features including TATE mode and character voices (the voices are actually kind of useful for timing certain borders), but is missing things like spellcard practice and obviously replay support. Those wouldn't make sense in an arcade but are really nice to have when you're playing at home.

Hah yeah that's a pretty funny glitch. I do like that you're getting some score during the stage, so that the stage doesn't literally just feel like setup for the boss; but that said I do agree the spellcard and nicely timed bonuses should be increased since that's where most of the challenge is. I guess one interesting thing with the current system is that the spellcard bonuses increase with each stage while the score from chambers don't. Theoretically if the demo went to stage 6 then we'd see the spellcard bonuses catch up with the other scoring mechanics. That has some problems too though. If stage 6 is really short like the typical Touhou game, then that means you'll be going into the boss with a really low multiplier.

I should really give EIoS a shot, haha. There's a lot of good Touhou fangames I missed out on.

It's a steam beta release. In your Steam library, right-click the game, select properties, then select Betas, then choose Double Action under the Beta Participation dropdown.

You unlock it after clearing Extra mode. I don't remember what patch they added it in, but it's available in the latest version if you get it on Steam.

@@marus-mpo do i have to pass it with clearing spell cards or just pass it no matter what i use

@@ryanle7581 You just need to clear it without continuing.

@@marus-mpo fire, my highscore is like halfway through yukari rn

Thanks! This run required a lot of restarts so I thought that'd be a funny way to express that.

Thanks! It's kind of a silly score because a lot of it is grinding for RNG lol. But I'm still really happy with it!

Thank you!!!

Thanks! Yeah I think 10.7b is possible too, but it'd require good RNG lol. I'm still having fun with the game though, and I think I can get close if I keep grinding so we'll see how it goes!

Haha the scores go even higher in Giga Wing Generations - up to the quintillions! Also yes the score multiplier maxes out at 999,999,999. A large part of scoring in this game is maxing the multiplier as fast as possible.

Thanks! I'm stoked the game's seeing action again. I don't think I would have returned to it if not for you beating my old score and keeping me up to date on news lol. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with Limi!

That's one of my favorites too. It's annoying dying to it, but it's a very creative spellcard.

Thanks! Your video was really inspirational too, particularly with the Ran grazing. I hope you get a chance to achieve even higher scores :)

Thanks!

Thanks! This was a fun score to go for.

Thanks! I'm glad to have finally pulled this off.

@@marus-mpo Phantasm next? :P

@@williewillus Haha I'll definitely go for a Phantasm score eventually, but I want to take a break first to play some other games.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Your runs were a ton of help - I definitely couldn't have pulled this off if you didn't share your videos :)

Thanks! Yeah I just need a run with no major mistakes and 10 billion should happen. Your runs have been a lot of help :)

I'm not too upset since this wouldn't have been 10 billion anyways, but yeah it's a cruel pattern.

Thanks for watching! I'm not really "grinding" right now tbh but I do want to come back to this game at some point!

Yeah I haven't played the older versions of this game, but that sounds like a more interesting system for sure. It would require you to think about the chain meter more during routing. I hope the devs are open to making changes to this game for the arcade port, or perhaps add an arrange mode. There's a lot of fun elements, but it could excel with some tweaks.

Thanks! It was fun experimenting with how the scoring system works.

Thanks! Yeah I suppose technically this is a WR, but it still feels a little hollow knowing the score can be pushed much higher, haha. I have some new ideas though so hopefully I can close the gap some more!

Any luck on the 1cc yet davy?

I played this on Dreamcast

Thanks! I still wish there were some better replays out there. I still have no clue what kind of routes you'd need to get over 80 quadrillion, let alone 90.
