Cotton Rock n' Roll (Success, AC/NSW/PS4/PC, 2021)

[Mero]

Old score

Spoiler

Fine, Normal

Mero & 135,720,110 & ALL & A-C-I-F-D-B-G-H & PS4 & Video

I can't call this a great score for a character like Fine but I'm happy enough to get the clear, had a few runs where I ran out of time. Hopefully my scores can get higher as I get more experience with the game.

[Mero]

Fine, Normal

Mero & 180,922,590 & ALL & AKCIDBGH & PS4 & Video

Returned to Fine to try and get a better score, stage K accounts for some of the improvement since the boss is worth a lot.

If it wasn't for the extends I was triggering during the final boss I would have ran out of time, it was under 20 seconds at one point.

[Mero]

Tacoot, Normal

Mero & 234,550,750 & A-I-C-K-D-B-G-H & ALL & PS4 & Video

Didn't take me long to clear with Tacoot at all, I've spent the last few days increasing my score. In this run for the first time I managed to not kill the final boss too quickly and destroy its big rocket as well.

How does scoring work for Cotton & Appli? I get that casting spells drops bells but is it based on enemies killed and bullets destroyed? With Appli am I trying to grapple & throw whenever possible or is just grappling and ramming fine? I've mostly been grappling and ramming but I can't tell if there's a bigger bonus for throwing.

Finally updated to add Mero's scores, sorry for the delay! Now that this game is on steam by the weekend this ought to be bumped. I want to improve my scores this year!

[EmperorIng]

Bump! I got the Steam port and spent some time relearning (kinda) the game with appli, and was awarded a mild PB for my efforts! Great fun, even though I died so many times. Luckily the score bonanza on the last two stages (almost half my score) replenished my lives easily enough!

I just realized that that's a pretty good Luffee score, congrats! And that Saiba Ria score is nothing to sneeze at, either! It's awesome you recorded all of your runs, too!

Personally I'm happy that now everyone has an entry on the leaderboard... Except for Silk, who I am considering removing so as to prevent confusion (and the likelihood of anyone here pre-ordering the game on JPN Amazon is at this point very dim).

I am going to have to hurry and unlock all the extra stages so I can pick the best ones to shoot for a ~200m score.

[M.Knight]

Thanks! Yeah feels good filling that leaderboard haha. I also have my sights on getting some 200mil scores if possible (as well as some 100mil for characters like Kawase I guess), just gotta pick better routes and improve.

The Silk situation is kinda weird actually. Even if the console version of Silk is just an echo fighter thing, the patch notes for the APM version here https://cotton-rock-n-roll.success-corp.co.jp/#section9 say that Silk was added for 1.0.5 and that プレイアブルキャラクターにシルクを追加しました（コンソール版とは性能が異なります）。 Her "performance is different from the console version" ?????
Here's an arcade replay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7EjJ8bsXxQ and to me it looks like she's a super fast Cotton? And her shot doesn't change depending on the current magic type, it seems like it's reusing those Fine Gluon shots but in a more concentrated way?

Can't find console footage of Silk though
Maaaan, preorder bonus shit is fucking cancer lmao, just lemme play with my half-naked fairy bruh

A bit annoyed at this not being a clear but I'll take the local #1 spot lol. There's definitely ways to clean that up survival-wise as there were a bunch of dumb hits. 200mil with Fine should be doable if I nab a good last boss kill (which I don't think I was gonna have here to be honest).

The Ria PB I got during Shoot the Baguette practice, and some other character WIP PBs from months ago I didn't get around to improving since

Great job man, and sorry it took so long to update! I have been dreading fixing the score tables until M.Knight showed me how to do so easily, so now I can safely add this tremendous score to the thread! I've been watching your progress on discord with some envy, given how well you took to the game and how well you're scoring in it!

The Ria PB I got during Shoot the Baguette practice, and some other character WIP PBs from months ago I didn't get around to improving since

Great! I missed the Shoot the Baguette stream, so I hope it went well! And that small Kawase pb probably took more work than it looks like, lol.

[M.Knight]

I had a scary close call early on but otherwise the StB run went pretty well I think! Thanks!
Oh yeah the Kawase video upload is recent but the score was from when I practiced for Malone's Chitta Fest. Yeah all that practice for just one 1mil Maybe with the experience I have nowadays, getting better Kawase scores will take much less effort but it's not as high priority as Ria or Fine for now.

[ratikal]

Thanks EmperorIng, I got two more updates.

I found some new tricks on Tacoot I'd like to try out but I've been taking a break from the game.
