Rayman 3 scores

[ReignOwner]

I've a question: could you get higher in FC (part 3) when u use this trick (see link):

before killing the hoodlum, get a yellow crystal and do what you normally do
I treid it, but I think it isn't possible (on the computer) to get a yellow gem and then get a matuvu....

[Hedgehog673]

It should be possible to get a higher score, if combined with the combo in MandM's solution. I guess you will only get around 100 additional points, though.
Oh, and getting a Matuvu after a normal-combo-time-giving object is very challenging.

Welcome to the forums

That 'glitch' can indeed be used to enhance your score. You can read more about it on the first page of this thread. However, in your position I would advise something much more straightforward: Kill the Hoodblaster as normal with a single charged fist, activate the Vortex, capture the Matuvu on the right, collect all of the gems beneath the Meadowscrews, lower the Meadowscrews, kill the Slapdash and capture the Matuvu near the exit.

Well, that's how I used to play!

[ReignOwner]

hmm, ok, but the strange thing is: I get a matuvu in combo after a mushroom (CF part1)

[DTUCC]

actually, MandM, I can't remember whether we ever made that clear, but have you been able to combo the matuvus in part 2 of FC für 1250 points?
i remember that your dwarf combo and your fairy combo could give me something around 200 points and I seem to recall that you had passed 48K. Just curious where those additional 500 points come from. probably the final tribelle in part 4? or have you found anything else? just curious.

[MandM81]

Like announced, 121.099 is done after 4 days of playing

Congratulations. Well played. It’s not that easy to get this score.

But your total score sucks.

Thanks, I'm mostly into getting higher scores in DOTK and BOM, although I'm having some problems with, well, ALL the Razoff combos. Developed some of my own BOM combos, I might try The Long Combo when my score reach high enough. I'm most likely gonna ignore the Hoodlum restart glitch first, though, takes too long time.

The Razoff combos are really hard. I only got the hang of them myself when I reached about 800.000 points. So they can be saved for later. I think there are many places where you can improve your score with more ease than in BOM.

The Long Combo is one of the legendary combos in the game. But it is also one who causes lots and lots of frustration. Approach with care.

You think that's bad: When I'm in the Bog of Murk I never manage to get the Double/Triple/Quadruple Razoff combo.

These multiple hits on Razoff should be one of the last things to improve in the game. Wait with it until you have 800.000 or so points.

That’s a very good skill to have. There are other places where you can benefit from taking a Matuvu in combo after a Mushroom.

And welcome to the forums from me as well. It’s nice with new blood and perchance new inspiration.

Yeah, I take the Matuvu for 1250 points. And I play the Tribelle Combo differently from you.

[DTUCC]

have you managed to get from the wooden bridge to the wooden platform in time?
also, is your tribelle-combo even possible for me?

I don't even want any more details (except you do want to share the combos), but I would find it rather bland to look for combos that are not even possible.

[MandM81]

No, I haven't managed to get from the wooden platform to the bridge. Seems not possible. As for the last room in part 4 I think I get a few hundred (maybe 150 - 200 ?) more points than you due to the fact that I can get a few more gems than you with a Powerup. But it is not where I get the 500 points you mentioned, far from it. I guess I play more combos differently from you, so I get a few more points here and there, much like the Dwarf Combo or the Fairy Hole Combo.

[DTUCC]

yeah, I figured as much. Dwarf + Faire combo are 170 points, that was why I asked.. I'm going to figure out the rest myself
would be interesting to see some videos from you any time soon, though.

Well, I had problems with the Green Gem Combo in Razoff's mansion, since I never managed to hit him before rolling down to grab the gem. I used a re-entering glitch, though, and made him appear in the room, thus making it a lot easier to take the green gem in combo. Also, I used the same glitch to make sure I got Razoff in a room with gems when he's nearly out of health, so that I could take him in combo as well.
I might try next to get both the green gem and Razoff in the same combo

[MandM81]

It's fine to get the green gem in combo after hitting Razoff hard. It's better if you hit Razoff in the back as on this video because the health bar will only be down two units:

The Razoff - Green Gem Combo

When you hit Razoff with a charged fist his health bar will be down three units and you only get 30 points to show for it. Two hits in the back is worth 300 points. As far as I remember two charged hits on Razoff will be needed for the doors to open again. Thus six units on the health bar earn you 60 points. If instead you hit Razoff two times in the back and repeat this another two times, then it is worth 900 points. And it is for the same amount of units on the health bar.

There are quite a few points to earn from hitting Razoff in the back, and you can sometimes combine those hits with a yellow gem first.

[DTUCC]

true, but you can actually get the green gem for 3000 points in combo if you use two charged fists.
in the room razzoff heads to in your video there is a yellow gem. if you get him to appear there, you can start your combo with a charged fist, get the yellow gem and hit him with another charged fist. afterwards you can hit him in the back twice when he escapes and finally you can get the green gem. that actually uses up 6 units of his health for 60 points, which makes you lose 540 points. therefore you get the greem gem for an additional 1500 which is a 960 bonus.

correct me if i'm missing something there, though. i'm quite sure the method i explained is worth more points, but i seem to remember that it wasn't such a huge amount

[MandM81]

It’s quite hard to get the green gem with a 3000 points combo, so I didn’t want to go there. As for the points, the calculations go like this. The 3000 points combo is achieved by a charged hit on Razoff followed by a yellow gem, then another charged hit on Razoff followed by two hits in the back as he runs away and finally collecting the green gem on the ground floor. If we denote a charged hit by ch, a hit in the back by hb, a yellow gem by y and a green gem by g, then the combo can be written

| ch y ch hb hb | g

The combo is worth 10 +30 + 100 + 100 + 3000 = 3240 points

In straight points it is worth 30 +10 + 30 + 100 + 100 + 1500 = 1770 points.

Thus the total amount of points for this combo is: 1770 + 3240 = 5010 points

In the combo above the health bar is down 8 units. These 8 units together with the green gem and the yellow gem can be played in another way by giving Razoff two hits in the back four times. This can be combined with the gems like this:

y hb hb – 410 points
hb hb g – 3300 points
hb hb – 300 points
hb hb – 300 points

The total amount of points from these combos is: 410 + 3300 + 300 + 300 = 4310 points

The difference is: 5010 – 4310 = 700 points.

That is, getting the green gem in a 3000 points combo earns you “merely” 700 points. So unless you aim for 100.799 points, it is not worth the restarts playing this combo. I didn’t use the combo when I reached 99.999 points but I did use it when I reached 100.799 points.

MandM, what are your scores right now? Mines are:

Fairy Council: 32000
Clearleaf Forest: 87000
Bog Of Murk: 50200
Land Of The Livid Dead: 101700
Desert Of The Knaaren: 97000
Longest Shortcut: 42000
Summit Beyond The Clauds: 73000
Hoodlum Headquarters: 78000 (will be around 85000 points; I'm working on it at the moment)
Tower Of The Leptys: 98000

total= 658900 (with the better score on HH: 665900)

I know BOM is just crap, It should be 50000 points better, But I can't finish part 3 in a good combo...)

Please tell yours:)!?

oh and thanks

[MandM81]

You got some fine scores. BOM is always one of the last levels where players get a good score. The combos are consitently hard in this level, at least those combos where you really score the points.

As for my scores, it's been a long time since I had a look, but as for as I remember they are something like this:

FC: 48.140
CF: 109.789
BOM: 100.799
LOTLD: 121.099
DOTK: 109.829
LS: 43.020
SBTC: 111.527
HH: 109.299
TOTL: 104.499
Total: 858.001

I'm not a hundred percent sure about DOTK and SBTC. Won't bother to open the game and check.

how the hack do you get 48000 points in FC!??!?!?!?!?!

[DTUCC]

how the hack do you get 48000 points in FC!??!?!?!?!?!

my thoughts exactly

[MandM81]

how the hack do you get 48000 points in FC!??!?!?!?!?!

By maximizing the combos with the objects available.

[Haruka]

how the hack do you get 48000 points in FC!??!?!?!?!?!

With frustration, anguish, sweat, time, broken foreheads, training and (in some cases, fortuneatly not mine) destroyed keyboards/gamepads.

[ReignOwner]

lol, do someone know why the top list of raymanzone.com doesn't work? it's stupid, I can't compare my scores now
