  • I'd love to be able to do this, but unfortunatly my brain does not function at this level.

  • Ur amazing tbh...

  • thats one of the strangest techniques ive ever seen .but i wonder how u manage to keep sparkly.i have done vegas 4 or vegas 5 but my sparkly doesnt stay this long

  • If you post a vid I can analyze it. Probably 1) your combos are too small, or (perhaps) 2) you play too fast.

    Explanation:

    Not all V^4s are worth the same. Simultaneously clearing is a big deal. It means a higher percentage of *all* pieces played are participating in a big combo. Also it's worth a bonus, I think.

    Fast play can result in `wavy' performance, rather than uniform performance, because combos have a finite lifetime. Shouldn't affect rank, but uniform is better for the ship.

  • I never really thought of sailing like that.

    So, really, clearing the board is not worth anything, and just, well, clears the board?

  • Board clearing is not in and of itself a bonus. Of course you clear a platform when you do it, and platforms have bonuses.

    You also get a new set of platforms, which enables more bonuses. The difficulty at 9* is dealing with obstacles on new boards efficiently (well enough that they don't countermand the platform bonuses). At the time of this video I couldn't do that.

    See my #1 vids for better sailing.

  • you have the strangest Sailing technique I seen, it's awesome, though.

  • ur crazy man how do get so sparkly but u hardly clear board i understand combos and such but still

  • Clearing boards isn't worth any points. Only combos/targets. Playing pieces costs points; maximizing points per clear means using every piece in a single combo. However, the goal of sailing is to maximize points over _time_.

    That gives us two ways to sail:

    fast, small, and clean

    medium, big, and mildly wasteful

    I disagree with conventional wisdom; I theorize:

    1) Pieces are 'wasted' only when the board clears

    2) It's okay to stop and think, as long as

    average speed is high
