You got the Pecko Hat? That'd be the first person I've seen with one. Usually all it takes is one poorly placed summoning crystal to ruin my chances.
Also, do you guys not do singleplayer runs? Or have you not beaten it? I don't see you in the top 20.
Yeah, Mikkums and I pretty much only do two-player. We both have been in top 20 single player (he does snowbuddy build but hates it in single) and I get frustrated with the smallest mistake in single player.
But yeah that highscore is the same run we got Pecko Hat! Mikkums dodged everything but 1 bullet and I got hit once as well, was actually impressed (by his dodging) as the rockets at the end of GunD4M (in my opinion) are bugged.
And a side note, Marino is ridiculous.

Okay, wow, I S-Ranked Floor 11 completely. That's not too hard, but it could have gone so wrong at any moment.
45 minutes into this, just got to ninja my way through Floor 12.
Yes! Every single room S-Ranked perfectly, no damage taken! Now just to tangle with Winter--wow, almost no hits taken on him! Surely the streak of S-Ranks will counterbalance the damage taken in Winter and...

Hahahaah, that sounds about right, I took sub 200 damage once (single player) and I got an A. Very frustrating.
What build was that?

It would be nice to know how much Winter can screw you before you can just ragequit the run. I'm assuming that once you break 100 damage, that's it, no matter how many S-Ranks you've gotten - no floor S-Rank for you.
That build is a secret until I hit #1 with it, or get my items. It's a super optimized version I saw some streamer using, though. They were missing a few skills and talents to launch it's damage through the roof.

Looking at the damage judging, I realize that it's getting increasingly unfair on later floors due to levels being gained much faster up there (due to larger floor sizes)! If you have a solid S for clear speed you should be able to take <25 % of maxHP and still get an S floor score.
However, the calculation for base MaxHP is Floor + 2, meaning that on floor 12 it's based on 14 as the character level! You're usually level 17 at that point.
For those wondering why I'm not using actual player level, it's because sometimes you don't get a particular level at the exact same time, and people clearing a floor with a level disadvantage probably shouldn't get a score disadvantage on top of that!
Trivia #1: the exact threshold for not getting shafted at Floor 12 is 125 damage. Anything below that should net you a total S despite getting a damage A, as long as you've gotten full S on the clear speeds!
Trivia #2: The correct value for that threshold based on players' actual level on floor 12 would be... 173. I'm sorry

You might feel an itch in the region of your soul right about now. That'd be me trying to tap into some latent ESP ability to throttle you with. <3
In happier news.
One down, two to go.
Also, uh, I don't know what's going on here but I'm pretty sure it's a violation of the Summoning Pact Agreement.

So, I was on #1 score pace and went up into a room in Season Temple, immediately holding down a skill button to try and use it ASAP as soon as I got into the next room.
But I didn't load into the next room. Currently I've been Loading... for the past 5 minutes. No crash, just endless loading. Zoning State 3, Thread Progress 90. The only thing I've done even remotely different this time is play in full screen mode, if it isn't related to initiating the skill button hold thing.
I'm guessing this run is over and there's nothing I can do to break out of this, is there.
Edit: Bleh, nevermind. I just force quit it. At least the pecko hat unlock didn't delete. That sucks.

That does indeed suck
I wonder if it had something to do with a room being weirdly setup? Thread Progress 90 vaguely means when it's setting up level specific stuff (in Arcade Mode that's a bunch of stuff for each room). If I had the seed of the run maybe it could've been reproduced with /seed...
I should probably add some feature that tracks the X generated seeds or something, along with the date the run happened or something. That way, if someone runs into something like this the could check that log and perhaps provide the layout which screwed everything up!
Not that it helps your run, of course. Your bad luck today is starting to approach Mikkums levels!

The fairy pet is literally Winato.
I thought it was just a generic winter fairy and could be confused for having thought you hadn't turned in the Winato quest yet, but it's actually him. That's a disappointing prize, the other prizes are all new things.I thought I'd at least get a new fairy, if a Summer/Autumn (fairies you can't yet get following you in Story Mode) one wasn't possible.

I noticed a new #1 score and I gotta say, I'm impressed.

The very first time he reached every single floor he double S-Ranked them? This person has the gaming ability of a god, they should be cashing in millions off of MOBA tournaments instead of playing early access games.
