CX7XC

Posted by s on March 29, 2007, 9:16 p.m.

I found a QuasiRandom strategy for combos in ColumnsX. With more work, I will soon perfect it and strike lucky to attain a 7x(I'll just have to work on glyphs…10KTotalGlyphBadge!)

Okay,so I tried making a map of how to get a 7xCombo and well…it was hard, so I gave up. Instead, I decided to try just making cool configurations, basically I move the blocks around and make them close together and set up a lot of 2 in a rows. Then, after leaving a low area and having a bunch of things a single fall away from glyphing and stuff, I set off the low zone and watch it go off. Many times you get a 2x and stuff, a few 3x and even fewer 4x. But you might strike lucky, especially if you can extend the strategy to more precise sorting. I've had 2 5xs and I've only been using it for 2days. Be prepared to get scores below 2K as you border along the top of the screen

Also, JakeX isn't a good choice of player to use since the X just wipes all the hard work away, I like using Flashback since it gives a nice wipe on the horizontal plane, but some others may want no interference of specialness and choose something more like Ludamad

Well,not much else to talk about.I had to recode Espion's movment since vspeed and hspeed arn't good for platformers

Yeah, Luda was hard to have a good special with. Good luck with your combo.

I'm surprised people still play this…but I've known about it for awhile now.
