Is Wesker STARS becoming the new dominant character for high scores?

[rJay]

I just saw that masuo0 and kurono-K got 987k on MA with a Midnight/STARS team. This is one of a few Midnight/STARS scores that have surfaced lately along with the 1000k+ score achieved by ak453bwsky on SD and the 985k on Prison by masuo (both Midnight/STARS scores).

Do you think that STARS is becoming the new high scoring character for stages with high cephalo rates do to his ability to melee kill them more easily than any other character?

Also, Yaritaiji and Divergent flow got 873k on The Mines with a double Wester STARS team.

Discuss.

SERIOUSLY???? God finally Wesker STARS is being recognized for how good he is, not because of the "Hydra Spamming". And yes, I do think STARS is becoming the new high scoring character.

It sure seems like it. Of course, it does require insane accuracy to be able to use STARS Wesker properly, as we all know. The only real advantages he has over Midnight is easy Cephalo melees and faster boss killing at close range.

[justMatt]

He is basically the same as midnight for a good player except with cephalo melee ability so I think he may dominate soon. also he can use yaritaiji's AR dash method on normal town majini, although not on wetlands lol

[spider_knows]

its not so easy to melee ceph if theres a group of majini. i tried it got 912 with golemx. u get hit after u switch to hawk everytime unless ure farther but i myself use it as much as midnight now. Hydra > M500> Reaper

It's pretty obvious. Stars is very fast killer. Both regular majini and bosses. Also he melees Cephalos, but that's pretty dangerous and health consuming. The most good part is that his handgun is pretty effective for dash melees. Every normal town majini can take 2 leg shots and die from dash.

Maybe I start using him seriously too.

[rJay]

I know that a good amount of people knew how to use him effectively for a while now, but I think that Prison video has really opened the eyes of a lot more people as to STARS' true potential. I'll admit, I was one of the pessimists about STARS' effectiveness as compared to Midnights. I'm starting to think I was very wrong.

I think in the coming weeks, we will be seeing a lot more Wesker Stars appearing in the top leaderboard spots.

Its mainly his ''weak'' magnum for cephalo dashing and mustang kick with his strong pistol to avoid cephalo in some cases.

looks like STARS will be the next big thing...i dont think the weaken/dash tactic is being used enough yet either. you can build stupid amounts of time with it. what about when someone joins your game and picks STARS, how do you know if they hydra spam or not XD

suiciding will be a pain as well

[kazuyafan94]

soon the leaderboards will be covered with STARS

[rJay]

Not necessarily. I'm think a lot of the teams will be Midnight/STARS, not double STARS, so at least one person can kill themselves quickly xD

[Jaz_B]

i just relised the joke inside that comment, not intentional XD
i think il start practicing with STARS as well, in my opinion if cephalos>crits on your side of the run then STARS should be picked. . man i really hope kuruno-k uploads that run.

[justMatt]

I think STARS would be top if he had midnights outfit lol
He's not so good at wetlands though because they cant take two shots from his pistol so his dash tactic doesnt work

[spider_knows]

midnight can meele ceph. 8 shots dash.

[BigBadBoehms]

midnight can meele ceph. 8 shots dash.

Yes, but it takes more time than you gained from melee killing, and wastes much ammo (serious: 8 bullets are too much since in some runs the ammo drops are very useless...)
