New Lunatic IN top score on Japanese Touhou scoreboard (http://score.royalflare.net/).

Date: July 3, 2009
Player: kamiG (かみじー)
Character: Youmu solo
Difficulty: Lunatic
Overall Score: 5,678,666,920

Very interesting run, and an interesting choice of character for this difficulty level.

Youmu solo is technically the best scoring character because her half-human/half-ghost nature means she can swap shooting/grazing modes much more easily than any team in the game, netting her more time orbs as a result. The problem is, Youmu solo has problems at Lunatic difficulty because her shot is very concentrated, making it very difficult to produce the bullet coverage needed to take down enemies quickly (before they fire too many bullets) during the stage portions of the game.

However, kamiG manages to mitigate this problem with some good planning and downright fantastic control of Myon (her ghost half, which functions somewhat like a Gradius-style option in this game).

Another interesting point to this run is how kamiG passes up all but the most rewarding graze opportunities, opting to shoot everything out in Human mode instead. Less milking and more shooting - I like that.

One last fun fact: I bet this is the same guy that plays IaMP in some of sibladeko's videos.
