Doing a no hyper stage 1 combo one starts st2 with 5 hypers and a 90% jauge (H2=5, J2=90, T2=0).
What is the best hyper distribution for stage 2 with those parameters? There are 4 main points in stage 2 where to use hypers:
1/ at the start of the stage
2/ at the flower pot, after picking the left bee
3/ at the start of the mid-boss fight
4/ in the final section, after the last bee of the group of 3 bees.
i tested in simulation mode, and then altered starting parameters :
Code: Select all
HYPER DISTRIBUTION COMMENT SCORE before boss MAX COMBO
(in millions)
H2=5, J2=90, T2=0
5-0-0-4 55 2250-2300
5-2*-2 The second hypering
was done just after 54 2118
picking up the bee
at the right of the
"tower" before the mid-boss
5-0-3 The mid-boss dies too soon
with a triple hyper, combo broken
5-2-1-1 You have to hurry to pick up
the double hyper and start it soon 57 2000-2050
otherwise the bee at the right of
the tower can't be picked while
not in hyper
H2=5, J2=50, T2=0
5-1-1-2 Easy and reliable 57 2150
Those scores are low, because in simulation mode the bee value is always 1000.
We can use this to calculate that if you get the *2 bees in stage 1 and 2, stage 2 bees are worth almost 34 millions total! It is important to get the *2 bees.
Even in arcade mode, 5-1-1-2 and 5-2-1-1 are better than 5-0-0-4, even though it has the highest combo (first successfull tries:95-96millions VS 91).
5-2-1-1 seems to be the best because your combo is high early.
The in-game replay gets 31m on stage 1 and 72.4 on stage 2.
This hyper distribution (hyperless st1, 5-2-1-1 st2) yields 21m st1, and 73.6 on stage 2.
I wonder how he gets almost as much on st2 with 4-1-1-1 (2 less hypers)..
That said to get much more than 95m before boss, i don't see any other way than hypering the 1st boss, i don't think 10 millions
are worth the effort since then you would have to adapt your st1 strat to a 2 hypers strat.
