Rayman 3 scores

[Hunchman801]

Congratulations! Unfortunately, it seems that you guys are the only ones playing Rayman 3 at the moment, which explains the lack of interest from the community. Hopefully your breakthroughs will convince some retired scorers to get back in business.

If I replay few levels again, I am confident that I can bring up a score update to the HOF.

I know Ribshark is currently planning a HD fixer for Rayman 3, one which will allow the PC version to run in widescreen without the side effects. Perhaps that might also prove to be an incentive for some as well.

I'm going to revisit some levels soon, I really wanna hit 300k.

and thanks DTUCC for the words of support! 300k must seem like nothing to you! hahaha

NOW I can say with 99% certainty that TOTL is finished.
That total score almost screams for me to play LS now, but Mountain Goat is right behind me, so I'm not sure if I'd rather play CF or LS. Either way, there still are a lot of points to be picked up.

@rolesfamily: how is your progress going?

Kinda slow tbh. I replayed the Hoodlum HQ, thought I was doing really well, got to the end and I managed to score lower then the score I already had >.> Was a real bummer, considering I tried extra hard on that one.

maybe someone needs this: a tool to calculate any rayman 3 combo you want with tabs for combo-comparisons and a level-score-function

Hello, I also want to congratulate on your big scores that seemed to have happened in the last few weeks (?) and breathe a fresh breath of activity into this thread as your features have to be acknowledged
Maybe you could briefly summarize what happened and why mandM is not first anymore and how you were able to get so many points to the score that was supposed to be within a few points of the estimated maximum? Im very interested. Please dont give away your secrets, just tell me what happened
perhaps i will come back in the near future and complete the few levels that i havent even played yet to get an acceptable score (right now i didnt even play totl, hhq, tlc and sbtc in my PB i think)

[DTUCC]

I'd love to see people that played in the past get back to the game. It's a shame you never finished that PB file and I believe there's a lot of potential coming from you. Maybe 800k might be a possibility?

As far as development goes, it's pretty simple:
A few months ago, me and the other German players decided to gather together and destroy the two levels left in the game that potentially held massive improvements, namely CF and TOTL. We have finished our investigations in TOTL with the new total score of 116.909 points (previous max 104.490)!! We have an estimated theoretical maximum for CF as well, although nobody has reached it so far. Obviously, we're going to update this as soon as we achieve anything that's worth mentioning. The highest reached score to date is 115.906 by Mountain Goat.

And yes, it is indeed crazy how after so many years, this game still keeps surprising us. I mean, back in the days, the extra 1.5k points in LOTLD were a pretty huge deal. Now, after 5 years, we find out that all this time we were over 10.000 points away from the maximum.
I'd consider the game finished after maximizing CF, but it's Rayman 3, so you never know what happens.

hey potato congratulations for your great score! it's a big progression

[DTUCC]

Thanks a lot, celery :x

[Cut]

ho ho ho!

[Dart]

how did you do that? i barely hit 21,000 on PC

[Sajiki]

Great scores, guys!
Im playing again right now but as i need to get back into the game i just casually played lotld and i will continue with summit hhq and totl. that should give me around 100k points without much effort. i am also streaming from time to time if anyone is interested
and merry christmas!

On your level, you can achieve easy improvements just by having all matuvus, tribelles and green gems in obvious combos with the elements nearby. With this you should easily be able to at least double your score without any skill or work. If you try out few bigger Hoodlum-Combos (they must not be that complex than the ones I am playing. Just be creative!), you will definitely break 50k really quick

Great scores, guys!

Thanks, dude. Really nice to see some activity here. Maybe we don't compete, but it's really a huge motivation to see I'm not the only one playing these days. Where do you stream, twitch?

[Sajiki]

yes i stream on twitch (/sajiki), but most of the time i do zelda 64 speedruns

[Sajiki]

well as im streaming sometimes i have also found out theres several ppl speedrunning rayman 3 and they found a few very interesting glitches like the infinite powerup glitch and edge hovering. as i saw that i wondered whether that could be used to improve some of the scores in this game as we already use some glitches like the piggybank roll in clf or the cs skip in fc part 3 to get the can early. theres also the superjump in sbtc part 1 for the green gem combo. so did you already do some kind of research in that direction or are you generally reluctant towards using major game breaking glitches like IPG in scoring rayman 3?
btw im streaming hhq right now

also the camera in rayman 3 is a fucking bitch. dunno how many combos i failed due to it randomly spasming out.

[RibShark]

I have also been watching Rayman 3 speedruns. I believe the top scorers are already using IPG (if they are not they really should be), but maybe there are some superjumps or glidewalks they might not be taking advantage of.

[Hunchman801]

The border between acceptable and unacceptable bugs is indeed hard to define. It's the first time I've heard of this infinite power-up glitch, where can I see it?

[Master]

Hm, I looked it up once I read his post, this is what I found:
