At Scoreattack.net I aim to provide videos and articles documenting every score based aspect of the game that I am able while trying to learn more about the game itself. I hope to make this the best collection of high level NiGHTS into Dreams gameplay information on the net while fostering a friendly community of players interested in sharing ideas in our forums. August 23rd - Ben Masters, Score roundup Just a quick little round up of how we are comparing to the best known Japanese score. This is mainly due to the efforts of Ben and Luigi over the past couple of months. Congrats guys! SA Spring Valley - 598,780 - JP Spring Valley - 569,360 - Differential + 29,420 SA Mystic Forest - 710,240 - JP Mystic Forest - 714,120 - Differential - 3,880 SA Soft Museum - 754,760 - JP Soft Museum - 1,032,540 - Differential - 277,780 SA Splash Garden - 631,460 - JP Splash Garden - 660,460 - Differential - 29,000 SA Frozen Bell - 756,820 - JP Frozen Bell - 804,000 - Differential - 47, 180 SA Stick Canyon - 664,550 - JP Stick Canyon - 789,240 - Differential - 124,690 In addition Ben brought in a new set of SRs for Mystic Forest and is soully resonsible for the above record. August 18th - Ben Masters It would seem that Ben is trying to out do Luigi for number of sitre records held. This time he took 4 records for Soft Museum using the "small loops trick" and getting the SMT up to 711,890. A fairly significant 40k increase over Luigis previous record. Ben also set some new PRs on Spring Valley. August 16th - Ben Masters Once again Ben is providing the meat an potatos of todays update. He set 2 new site records on Mystic Forest making this a clean sweep of that particular level for him. The new MF2 is 63,390, 3000 clear of the competiton and he further increased his lead on the MF4 table by another couple of thousand to 53,310 Interestingly, Bens potential score for Mystic Forest is now only about 20,000 short of the best known Japanese score. We are slowly catching up! Lastly, I feel sure somone suggested this at some point but I never got around to it, I added the user names to the high score tables for people who have chosen to compete under their real names. Should make things a touch easier I hope. August 14th - Ben Masters Ben has been making quite a few waves for a new player on the scene and I have had a feeling we might be seeing a record or two for a while but I wasnt expecting this. He totally rewrote the Mystic Forest table taking all but one record. Worth noting he is only a few hundred points from having a clean sweep. The new MFT is 658,920 and perhaps even more impressive is the new MF3 is 117,710 a staggering 14,000 points higher than the previous record help by Lance Way. Interested parties can check in Bens high score thread for photos of his achivements and perhaps more interestingly this thread for some information on the strats he used. He has some interesting variations on the methods we have been using thus far. Congratulations! August 12th - Miles As mentioned yesterday, Miles showed us once again that he is the current king of the boss times with a new record on Clawz. He was kind enough to document his new achivement and send us a video! August 11th - Miles, Ben Masters The old time boss master Miles made a welcome return with yet more impossible seeming work. This time upping the fastest possible Clawz time to a staggering 104. Proof of this will be forthcoming over the weekend but intrepid gamers might find some in the forums. Ben is still rampaging up the score tables pushing his Mystic Forest and Frozen Bell over the milestone 600 000 mark with new PRs on every mare for both dreams. I still think his first SR is only a matter of time... August 9th - Ben Masters Ben is back again this time hammering away at Mystic Forest and Splash Garden setting 5 or 6 PRs. I have a feeling we might be seeing a site record or two from him before too long. I did a little site maintenance, updating the archive, made a couple of changes in the forums and various corrections thanks to advice from Luigi. Thanks alot. Good to see SA.net hotting up again with new players and scores again! August 7th - Blackrabite, Firelaser, Malan Its been a while since SA has been this busy but a few interesting things happened over the weekend. Our good friend Malan Webmaster of Frances Premier NiD site gave his site an overhaul, new buttons and a new host so please check out his site. Perhaps even more interestingly, he documented a truly wierd glitch on Realas stage in this forum post. Its in QT format so most people should be able to watch it with no problem. Apparently detailed information on performing this will be available soon. Newcomer to the site Firelaserbeam has debuted in style with a new boss record. He has managed to get a 109 on Gulpo the previous best has stood at 108 for a long time and has been equalled by many players here. It looks like FLB is using the same Up Left, Down Right, Up Right strat as everyone else but I think he got very lucky somehow. There is a little discussion on the subject in This post and we even have a proof picture! Last but by no means least, our newest user Blackrabite now known as Ben Masters has been showing some seriously impressive numbers on Soft Museum with a SMT of 617,000 a score which would have been unthinkable only a couple of months ago before Luigi found out about the small loops trick. Looks like Luigi might need to increase his scores a little as Ben is only a few hundred points behind him in a couple of areas... August 1st - Blackrabite, Kraken Kraken Continues his progress up the charts with a solid improvement on SM1. Good work there. In other exciting news Blackrabite is our first new user in a while joining with a very strong set of scores across the board. With the exception of the perennial bugbear of Stick Canyon, all of his Dream Totals are over the 400k mark. Particularly notable is his Eliots Xmas Nights scores with his Dream Total at a very impressive 546,500. Welcome!
