Magical Drop 3 2nd place ****WAS**** mine !

Post by Yatta_Yatta-O_o »

One year later, I return. (cf viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14317)
Summoned by a fool who tried to take my seat.

Did you not believe me when I said ill keep fighting ? My foe, Aaron Pieper, is mighty, but is no god.
To be able to prove this, during this last year I had a tough training, involving meeting ancient martial arts masters, months of survival in hostile environments, cold waterfall showers & bears fightings.

Now im a new MD3 player, fighting in the shadow. The champion's crown is not mine already, but its only a matter of time now.
However, while fighting to defeat that Aaron, I improved my own highscores, and kept it safe in case someone like LastNinja2 would think he could take my place while I was looking away. I was waiting for that.

The second place is mine, little warrior, and Im not giving it up until I get the lead.

"Im never going to lose to you !"
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !

*posting replay, hope it'll be valid :D ...*

EDIT:
Also, I have to correct what I said in the 1 year old post I mentioned, about Magical Drop 3 combo scoring system, I was half wrong.
The score seems to grow exponentially to 50k points (14th combo iirc), then each following combo is +50k points only :
[...]
12th combo : 12.5k points
13th combo : 25k points
14th combo : 50k points
15th combo : 100k points
16th combo : 150k points
[...]
23th combo : 500k points
...


EDIT:
Topic title change :D

Nothing to do with exponential, I would talk about an arithmetic sequence

Or it could just simply have a list of bonus values for each chain total. Would be quicker.

7M and 8M Points ?
Was'nt that on survival or journey modes ? (Aaron has 7,231,270 on survival and 9,999,999 on journey)
It seems hardly possible to score that in challenge mode with defaults settings ... :o
But then again, like one year ago, I could be mistaken. Is there yet another top secret scoring method, or is ZAC not human ? :D

Source for that information ? I think at this point id want to see that to believe it, rather than trying to reach the impossible :P

Edit:
And about the scoring method, im sure the score grow exponentially until it reaches 50k. Not necesseraly mathematical exponential, but close to it. Each combo worth close to the double of the precedent. But since this rule only apply until 50k points (after that every combo being simply +50k) its not so relevant as those low-level combos are useless for reaching high scores. However, maybe I had a not so good grasp of the word "exponentially" :?
