zallard1 | Star Fox Zero - Titania - High Score [561 Hits] (WR) @zallard1 | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 22 seconds ago.
You ever go through your old files from ~5 years ago to delete stuff, and accidentally find a world record in there that you forgot to upload? Turns out that's exactly what this is LOL
My only guess was that I intended to beat this score before uploading it, but never got around to it and just completely forgot about uploading what I had. I am kind of shocked that despite the nearly 5 years of inactivity, that this run still appears to be the highest score out there. Also, from what it looks like, this file was recorded on June 26th, 2016.
Ok so I guess I should go over how high score works in this game real quick. The way bonus points revolving around charge shots fired at enemy groups is exactly the same as it is in Star Fox 64, where you want to intentionally miss enemy groups in order to maximize the "HIT+" bonus.
This game has a couple of extra things to consider though, since when enemy ships are killed, they start tumbling to the ground. If you can shoot the debris down before it explodes, you get even *more* bonus points. You can also score points off of using the terrain to defeat enemies, which is why you'll see me shoot pillars down near the end of the stage to crush other nearby enemies. Additionally, your teammates health factors into your final score a great deal (each teammate's full health bar is worth 10 points, whereas a teammate with just a sliver of health is worth 1).
As far as the run itself goes, it seems pretty decent. I wish I could go into more detail than that, but I can't remember specifics considering how long ago it was since I've played last. I really like this game, because its scoring mechanics are actually pretty solid, but I wish the game didn't have forced dual screen gameplay, and mandatory controls that you can't remap or use any other controller for.
Thanks for watching!
