The scores that other people submitted are really impressive and there are a lot of great tips on this site...keep up the good work! I know I can improve on a lot of my scores so hopefully I'll have some updates on a regular basis. I bought xmas nights as well, but have only played it a couple of times so those scores could use some work too. I know I'm a late comer but I absolutely love this game and how much depth there is to the gameplay. Thanks to those who keep the site updated! Oh...and if I should provide any photos for proof just let me know and I will do it as soon as I can.

11-03-2007, 9:25 AM charlie Joined on 10-28-2007 Ontario, Canada Posts 108 Re: Charlie's Scores Hey guys, thanks for the warm welcome. I've been slowly working away at Spring Valley and below are my new scores. I'm starting to get more consistent with the 28 link in M1, but still haven't had a perfect run yet. M2 is still a struggle for me, especially getting the long link starting before the loop around the tree (occasionally I can include the tree loop in the link too but rarely). I'm starting to get a hand of the stunt ribbons now in M3, but still could be more consistent at getting dreamies. And M4 is getting a lot better with the 40 link before the wind gusts. And I started using Gillwing as the boss instead of Puffy because he is more predictable for me (Gulpo was the other one I tried but still not good enough). Spring Valley Mare 1 - 70300 Mare 2 - 49860 Mare 3 - 105360 Mare 4 - 56870 Total - 547180 Max link is still 28 as I have not yet tried the reverse lap (one day I'll do it for fun). Boss Times Gillwing - 112 Gulpo - 102 Next I think I will improve my Soft Museum scores. I read about the stunts in the forums and started playing with it this morning. (edit: removed a theory about infinite links...sometimes it appears you can have an infinite link by doing the small loops, bounce off the ground, and quickly do the small loops agian, but I can't seem to do it consistently enough, and I'm not even sure if you get any extra points for links in this special stunt mode??) Thanks, Charlie    Report

I'm not sure if I'll get much better than these so I think I'll move onto Frozen Bell next and see if I can better those scores too.

11-25-2007, 7:09 PM charlie Joined on 10-28-2007 Ontario, Canada Posts 108 Re: Charlie's Scores Some new scores. Most of my time was spent on Spring Valley. It is by far my favorite at the moment. Still could do better on the stunt ribbons though, especially if I want to get close to Peter's score. Btw, good job Peter! You must be pretty consistent with those stunt ribbons. I've only had a Mare 3 score of 150,000 a couple times, and on average I end up around 120,000 so I have some work to do if I'm gonna get near your record of 200,540. Gsk, you've got a high total too, good job. I'm getting ever so close...I now have a potential of 693,940 so I just have to be more consistent at each mare or better at the stunt ribbons. I still haven't tried the reverse lap either so that could help a bit.

Check out Pete's page for a good example of a personal Nights page SV1 - though reverse laps can get you a better score, I personally find it far less reliable than going forward and using ABPs. What boss you using anyway?    Report

11-27-2007, 12:19 AM charlie Joined on 10-28-2007 Ontario, Canada Posts 108 Re: Charlie's Scores Thanks gsk. Right now I'm using Gillwing with the large paraloop from underneath. Do you find the ABPs consistent enough to save a lot of time? I haven't tried them much but when I did I had a difficult time not performing stunts. Do you know what the highest SV1 score is using the forward run? I'm assuming the top scores were done using the reverse infinite, but if I could get an extra 2,000 by using ABPs I should try to learn them. If anyone is interested I put my first video on youtube. It's a full run of Spring Valley with a score of 615,480, so it isn't my best but it shows what strategies I use. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_TWIejnX4R0 I really need to get to sleep...it's about 2am here...trying to get the video capture software to work took a lot longer than I was hoping! I just bought it tonight so it took me a while to figure it out. Good night!    Report

12-02-2007, 2:21 PM charlie Joined on 10-28-2007 Ontario, Canada Posts 108 Gotta love multiple dreamies!!! Improved my Spring Valley scores after much effort. This was not easy! I almost had a heart attack during SV3 when I got to the last stunt ribbon. In fact I almost messed it up! Once YouTube finishes processing my video you can watch the whole run. I think I'm getting the hang of these multiple dreamies, or at least what route I like to take. It seems so important to keep changing the direction on the analog stick.

And thanks for the vids - I'm finding each one very interesting to watch, keep them coming. How are you capturing the saturn output? What kind of card/cable? Anyway, watching the vids again, I really think ABPs will really help you streamline your game. The main cluster in SV1, the one with the dash token in SV2, the first one on SV4 as well as the one just before the gust of wind. All of them  will save you a second, which all adds up. Also, if you get all 12 chips pre SV1, instead of the paralooping you can dash through the middle of the cluster getting 5 chips then forgot about the 3 stars and get the 3 chips and thats your 20 - saves you a second.    Report

I'll have to learn the ABPs sometime. The one time I did try them I kept doing random stunts so I gave up rather quickly, but I'll try again sometime. Has anyone done a video of this technique? As for capturing the Saturn output, I'm actually using an external USB box from Pinnacle that I use with my laptop. The software has some issues like the audio getting out of sync on long recordings, but it does the job pretty well. A bit pricey but I couldn't find anything much cheaper. At first I tried recording the TV using a video camera but the quality was pretty poor (big black line scrolling down the TV if you know what I mean, and poor audio).    Report

12-04-2007, 8:20 PM charlie Joined on 10-28-2007 Ontario, Canada Posts 108 Getting closer... Just need a few more dreamies. If I could get 5 more, only 1 more per stunt ribbon, I think that would be enough to acquire my first SR. To be honest though I can't wait to go onto something else. This is the only dream I've been playing for the last couple of weeks and I can't wait to improve my other scores. I played a couple of other dreams while I waited for my video to convert and easily beat my old scores on the first try. Nothing really great but I'll list them anyway. I'll post the youtube video for my latest SV run as soon as it's finished processing. Edit: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=bYfMJ1w8cT0 SV3 182850 (ignore...see next post) SV4 62870 SVT 752500 (ignore...see next post) MF1 55680 MF2 30840 MF3 36540 MFT 286140 SC1 65770 SC2 31710 TS1 12320 TS3 16180 EDIT: Just improved my SV scores again. Only 10,000 away from the SR. Now I'm getting anxious!!

12-08-2007, 1:21 PM charlie Joined on 10-28-2007 Ontario, Canada Posts 108 My First Site Record!!! Well, I never thought it would happen, but after much frustration and long nights I have my first site record on the Spring Valley total! Much thanks to everyone on this site who gave me tips and posted strategies and videos. If it wasn't for your help I would have never got this far or at least this quickly. Peter, I would love for one of us to break 800k! I know you can do it as you still own all the individual mare records. We are so close! Here are my new scores. I also reposted my SV2 and SV4 scores from the last post in case they get missed...sorry Luigi for all the updates recently! :) SV2 64700 SV3 200090 SV4 62870 SVT 791560 Video proof is on YouTube: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=J0Dhq1KZd38 Photo proof for SVT is here: http://www.charlierestivo.com/images/NiGHTS/SpringValley/SpringValleyTotal_791560_1.JPG Thanks, Charlie    Report
