Stratamax Eclipse 602: Breakthrough - Bejeweled Twist
Went wild on the fancy editing here.
Also by the way, that long pause starting at 4:23 was not because I was thinking about what to do next, it's because I was afk.
(17/01/2025)
=================================
Saw Mario's 547 yesterday (link: ua-cam.com/video/-xODL98_WPc/v-deo.html ), decided to do a session, and got my 4th sixer. I have not even been playing that much since the Stratamax 610, just a few sessions involving a 563. Sixers are supposed to be rare enough for me to want to share every single one of them, but at this pace I might actually stop doing that very soon. Considering how extreme 600 used to feel, it blows my mind that I am even considering that. That being said, I am probably just on a lucky streak lately. Reminds me of the day where I got 554 twice.
I think this is the first ever run that got me thinking "if I fail to get 600, it will be disappointing" before the last 10 moves. It is a lot like the 605 run which was really good, but not exceptional in the first half, and then immediately went wild in the beginning of the second half. Here, it went from 257 at 27 moves left to 380 at 20 moves left, and peaked another 7 moves later: 491 gems at 13 moves left.
491 gems in 37 moves is a huge personal best for two reasons:
- First, obviously, "this is by far the most I have ever had at this point" as softestcat said after getting 240 gems in 21 moves in his 487 run ( ua-cam.com/video/buDnMdKH7_I/v-deo.html ). I believe my previous best was 466 but I would need to double-check on that.
- Second, and most importantly, this is also by far the longest 650+ pace I have ever had from the start, the previous one being 394 in 30 moves in a 579 run I never uploaded (truthfully, there was also a run where I had an opportunity to get 416 in 32 moves). And the only reason why I did not keep this 650+ pace going for longer is because I deliberately chose to go for a Supernova after that. Otherwise there was a way for me to get 500 gems in 38 moves (which would have also beaten my fastest 500 by 3 moves) and almost guarantee myself 512 gems in 39 moves.
Looking back, maybe I should not have gone for that last Supernova because the RNG after that was a little disappointing, and I was afraid I would not even make it to 600. But maybe it would not have been much different if I had done otherwise, it is hard to tell.
In the end, this run is a significant breakthrough towards 650, which is the next goal I would possibly want to achieve. It changes the way I consider this potential goal, from "still a long way" to "conceivable". That being said, I still think that it would require a long-time commitment.

"At this pace you might get 156 for real" That was a comment from @softestcat (then Boo Piper 120) reacting to my big PB jump from 116 to 125 back in March 2021. At that time, getting 156 felt so unrealistic, and it's not what happened next that would make me change my mind, as my PB further improved to 130 and stayed there pretty much forever despite all my efforts to beat it again. Even 140 f...

A rather anecdotic run that I still thought would be cool to share. 21 Supernovas and over 1100 Bonanza gems cleared, mainly thanks to an RNG Nova and a low Coal spawn rate. Besides, I have already got three more 156s since the first one and they all happened within a 24-hour period about yesterday. This is the third time in a row that I have to tie my PB at least twice before beating it, and i...

As it turns out, reducing the tempo of the music from 150 bpm to 131 bpm synced it back with the timer (more precisely, 150 × 10800 / 12376 rounded towards the nearest integer) I am not stopping there. That ending was so disappointing, I could totally have had 160 if I did not go for that cascade detonation and instead tried to move the Coals into the range of the white Supernova. I guess my mi...

    I guess I gave you motivation to play your home eclipse. :) 491 at 13 moves left is incredible, yet no guarantee for 600 (for me anyways if I were to have that many) Moves 23-37 were just insanity and satisfying at the same time.

    • @elpolog.7163
      @elpolog.7163 10 днів тому

      No guarantee for me either, and it showed here. In fact, that was still >8 gems per move away from 600 and I generally consider that to be my average pace (although it could be a little bit higher now, as I haven't done averages in a while) Even then, your average pace is still not guaranteed by definition

    Accidental prophecy with that 156 comment... Crazy to see how far this game has been pushed in the past few years.

Congrats on what is yet another huge milestone for this game, always looking forward to seeing how far these scores can go.
