My current goal is 1.6 trillion and I'm playing this pretty intensively (thanks to COVID-19 I have some more time on my hands these days!). In fact, it is the only game I plan to play for the near future, so hopefully I will continue to make progress up the ladder. I need to: keep practicing Stage 5 and improve my route/scoring (it's not too great atm), learn some ST3 boss milking, learn the ST4 first and third phase boss milking, and learn the ST5 boss milking.
Currently I end ST1 with 21-22bil, ST2 with 85-90bil, and ST3 with around 265bil. I do full milking of the ST1 and ST2 bosses, with about 80-90% optimality. Full ST3 boss milking should push me over 300bil. On a good run currently I get a bit over 700 bil by the end of ST4, but that's only with phase 2 boss milking. On this run I ended ST4 with 705 billion.
It is so nice to have the X360 port to practice on with its fairly accurate slowdown and low input lag!
More progress!

688 bil at the end of ST4 (which is a bit low). I only got 531 billion in ST5. In my practice runs I've been getting 650-700 bil in ST5 if I don't mess up any scoring spots. To be continued!
I gave C-Power a whirl and got a new top score on my PCB. Not quite enough to beat my old score done on the X360 version, though.
(https://i.imgur.com/JGMT7G0.jpg)
Still just sort of winging it, but I plan to work on this after I get closer to my B-power goals.
Another small increase with B-Power:
1,240,222,279,194
(https://i.imgur.com/MLDlvBI.jpg)
Today I had a few runs fall apart with a chain break near the end of ST5, which were on pace for 1.3-1.4 trillion. So hopefully I'll get into that score range soon!
I took a break from grinding DFK BL and played some DFK 1.5 (X360 port) today. I beat my PCB score by a good margin! No clear though. :laugh:
67,688,747,553 (Omote Loop, EX Boss)
(https://i.imgur.com/qW8ligh.jpg)
It is very refreshing to play this after DFK BL, which feels more like an "endurance obstacle course" in comparison. I thought I was done with Ver 1.5 but it pulled me back in. If I ever get serious about learning the stage chains I'll have to get the PCB again.
Back to Black, B-Power.
1,279,194,942,390
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVRgCVCUcAA3pnq?format=jpg&name=medium)
Ended ST4 with 740bil (my best yet), but as usual, messed up ST5 big time in quite a few spots. If I cleared the boss it would have pushed me over 1.3 trillion. :displeased:
Anyway, there's always next time! :righton:
Finally broke 1.3 trillion!
1,308,154,642,582
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVXzRkOVAAA8nSk?format=jpg&name=900x900)
I got to the ST5 boss with four spare lives and managed to lose them all there, barely getting to the EX Boss where I got demolished due to no hypers in stock. I also missed the "max reddo" stage end bonus in ST5, which would have given me at least 20 bil more. ST5 was OK otherwise. Ended ST4 with 713 bil in this run.
Still goofing around with DFK 1.5 X360 once in awhile. Here's another increase in my B-STRONG score:
76,434,268,579
(https://i.imgur.com/0KtLguE.jpg)
Would have been around 100 bil if I didn't have a silly chain break right after the ST3 midboss!
I did a full run on the X360 ver of DFK BL with B-Power:
1,289,940,433,995
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EV2BJr0UwAA8Eeq?format=jpg&name=small)
The score and replay are on the JP DLC leaderboards.
With this I retire my old top score on the X360 Ver, which was:
948,687,690,376 - EX Boss - B-Power - Autobomb OFF - X360 {4.15.2011}
Done almost exactly 9 years ago!
I gave C-Power with Autobomb ON a try in DFK BL last night. What a rush! It's like a completely different game from Autobomb OFF. I actually no missed up to the ST5 boss, with a Maximum Bonus x6. But the last bosses are brutal with only one hyper to play with at a time and the inability to quickly and easily recharge your next hyper by bullet cancelling like you can do in DFK 1.5.
I also scored a lot higher than I thought I would with this setting. Maybe I should try B-Power next!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EXQBs82VcAIQkJJ?format=jpg&name=small)
I've really been enjoying playing C-Strong in DFK BL lately. B-Strong is the stronger, better ship, but C-Strong also appeals to me with its slower movement and wider shot. After playing on the PCB a lot, I did a run on the X360 port and beat my old score by a good amount:
345,920,907,595 - Stage 5 - C-Strong - Autobomb OFF
(https://i.imgur.com/4foejeN.jpg)
This replaces my old score (done in 2011):
256,829,208,824 - Stage 4 - C-Strong - Autobomb OFF
In comparison to the PCB the X360 port is significantly easier with all the Strong style ships (almost like a Strong Style "Easy Mode"), but C-Strong probably shows the greatest reduction in difficult compared to its PCB counterpart. Lots of extra slowdown, no disappearance of the OSD or your ship when in hyper mode, and the hi res sprites (which, in my experience, also makes it a bit easier to see and dodge the bullets in the ports that have them). I will practice ST5 in the port until I get a stable pattern down then I will do most of my future runs on the PCB, though I'm sure I'll do some more runs on the X360 port as well. In this run I ended my credit at the very beginning of ST5 and missed the 1UP in ST3. The replay is on the JP DLC rankings.
Here's my best DFK BL C-Strong score on the PCB (done today):
341,991,675,752
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EYGmQitUcAARIFk?format=jpg&name=900x900)
I made it up to the first ST5 midboss.
Another improvement in my DFK BL C-S score PCB score!
377,226,732,543
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZUF4sdU0AI6XQU?format=jpg)
I made it further into ST5 than I had before, ending my credit in the laser wheels just before the second midboss. ST5 is brutally difficult on the PCB with C-Strong. I have gotten through it on the port in Training mode, but a lot of what I learned there doesn't work so well on the PCB. Back to the drawing board!
I bought another DFK 1.5 PCB recently and have been doing some B-Strong runs. Last night I got a new high score, but didn't bother with the loop. I've decided to not play through the loop much until I get better at the first five stages.
78,204,771,980 - 1-ALL - B-Strong
(https://i.imgur.com/72WOg1F.jpg)
I gave B type a try again in DFK BL STRONG style and got a new PB. Been playing C type mostly these past months.
440,457,468,329 - Stage 5 - B-Strong
(https://i.imgur.com/Z4BpQiE.jpg)
I finally got over 100 bil in DFK 1.5, on the X360 port. =D I didn't bother with the loop, so it's a 1-ALL.
114,102,266,882
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjYExURUwAEeFw4?format=jpg&name=small)
Funnily enough I had been practicing DFK BL B-Strong exclusively over the past several days, and did this run just as a diversion.
New improvement in my DFK BL X360 B-Strong score! I made it up to the EX Boss with a score of 532,062,528,384. A death during a hyper in the middle of ST5 killed my chain completely and dropped my score by 70-100 bil, so 600+ bil shouldn't be too hard if I can get through ST5 without such a blunder.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjenFn3VgAI1_dP?format=jpg&name=small)
Here is a video of the EX Boss fight. I didn't have enough resources to clear it, but I made it to near the end with some lucky dodges keeping me alive longer than expected.
https://twitter.com/cavexstg/status/1312704798618083329
Another DFK BL B-Strong increase, this time to 586,180,931,935.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjiP4d2UYAcjbTk?format=jpg&name=small)
Came into ST5 with one spare life and managed to get to the boss, but too many dumb deaths in the first four stages crippled this run.
I practiced the EX boss today and can get through it without dying pretty consistently now, provided I come into the fight with at least 3 bombs in stock.
I plugged in my DFK BL PCB and did a few runs after practicing ST5 on the port the past few days. It wasn't long until I got a new PB, this time over 600 bil!
612,097,285,856
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjjpdtVVgAgPE_S?format=jpg&name=small)
Game over at the very end of the stage right before the boss.
Big update in my DFK BL B-Strong X360 score, to 757,366,957,843.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjweE1jUYAA_W46?format=jpg&name=small)
Now I just have to get to the ST5 boss with a spare life or two.
Finally cleared it!!
745,485,675,675
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkLNGhYUwAAgF9T?format=jpg&name=small)
Ended with one spare life and two bombs. Fought Taisabachi but not Hibachi. I should have suicided at the end because you get 5 bil for the MAXIMUM bonus, vs 1 bil for each spare life, but I was too nervous I'd screw things up somehow.
Anyway, a good run, not quite high enough to beat my top score but I'm happy. =D
Wow, nice work. Did you record the run by chance?
Yes, I have the replay saved on my xbox 360. I need to get a capture device some day so I can upload replays to youtube.
I recorded the Stage 5 boss and EX boss fights on my cellphone and posted them here:
https://twitter.com/cavexstg/status/1315899285276295168
Taking a break from DFK BL I fired up my SDOJ PCB (which I hadn't played in a month or two) and got a new high score: 8,283,520,061. Finished with one spare life and no bombs. Two deaths before Stage 5 and lots of sloppy mistakes. Still trying to work toward my current goal of 10+ bil.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkVIfrFUcAAM5yz?format=jpg&name=small)
New high score in DFK 1.5 (X360) with C-Power: 91,864,656,546 (up to Stage 2-2).
(https://i.imgur.com/evx9JUt.jpg)
About 68bil at the end of ST3, ST4 chain breaks galore so few points there, and less than a bil gained in the loop before game over.
Another increase with C-Power, this time over 100bil (finally):
120,135,856,463
(https://i.imgur.com/4241fDJ.jpg)
Another increase, up to 150,996,945,968 (Omote Loop).
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ElEwfxoVcAkMXvi?format=jpg&name=small)
First time past 2-2 and I got all the way up to the second midboss in 2-5. About 135bil at the end of the first loop with four lives in tow.
Playing so much Strong style in DFK BL in recent weeks helped me "wing" stages 2-3 ~ 2-5 for survival.
Another DFK 1.5 increase, this time to 156,530,580,880. It's a 1-ALL because I declined the loop this time. I finished ST5 with only a couple lives left.
(https://i.imgur.com/sgzAbRR.jpg)
This run had my best ST1-4 yet, with 141bil at the end of ST4 (and no-miss no-bomb). Fairly perfect chaining in these stages based on my current strats. Now I just need to learn and practice ST5, which is where my scoring consistently falls apart. I have the first part down pat, up to the end of the zako rush after the first midboss, after that I use hypers frequently to try and keep the chain from breaking.
First time in the Ura loop!
143,776,383,716
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ElYusJ-XEAMK49l?format=jpg&name=small)
Pretty poor first loop, ending with 113 bil there. But somehow I did 2-1 really well, with 8700 hits before the midboss, 10k+ hits at the end of the midboss, and no miss no bomb, netting me about 7 bil in the stage. 2-2 was a wash (with three deaths), but I got 10k hits early in ST3 and chained up to the midboss, giving me about 12 bil for the stage before my game ended on that midboss.
With my supergun out of order (new one coming next week), I've been dabbling in more of the X360 ports. Today I fired up MMP Matsuri Ver for the first time in a couple years and got a new high with Ikuo:
227,728,650 - ALL
(https://i.imgur.com/ZePzMSv.jpg)
This retires my old Ikuo score of 219,042,570 done on March 17, 2011.
Big improvement in my DFK 1.5 C-Power Ura score, up to 216,620,090,647.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/El3xQEYVkAkjNaL?format=jpg&name=small)
197bil first loop. Chained ST5 up to the second midboss for the first time (with no 'safety hypers' before that). 136bil at the end of ST4.
I've gone back to DFK BL Power for a bit, and got a new high score on the X360 version:
1,370,677,554,035
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EmBeTmEVgAEsOWr?format=jpg&name=small)
695 bil at the end of ST4, which is subpar (I should be getting 700 - 750 bil, at least). Pretty good ST5, but I died with just a hair of life left on the ST5 boss, costing me the meaty ST5 end bonus (around ~20bil) and a hyper. I came into the EX boss fight with one hyper, a low REDDO gauge, and one life. Got about halfway through the fight but couldn't pull it off. Frustrating! But I'm still going to keep working toward my long-term goal of 1.6+ trillion.
This one has been on my bucket list for over a decade, but I finally did it today. A 1CC of Futari 1.01 Maniac mode!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EmQZBrGVcAIVSLD?format=jpg&name=small)
I didn't beat (or even get near) my top score of 203mil, but I beat the last boss with just one death and finished the game with a life to spare, so I'm pleased with that. :righton:
Wow nice clear. I have only heard horror stories for 1.01! Congrats.
Thanks! Stage 5 and the last boss are the real issues, the first four stages aren't much harder than Ver 1.5.
Well, here's something I wasn't expecting. I played a casual credit of DFK BL with B-Power -- pretty much my best run ever in terms of survival (only one death in ST4, no-missed the ST5 boss), one death on Golden Disaster, so I finish with three spare lives. Yay, finally got the 1CC with a decent score. Or so I thought! Before I know it, out pops Hibachi!
1,362,655,619,612
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoOX3y_UwAA4MqE?format=jpg&name=small)
I didn't know what the heck I was doing, I've never even practiced Hibachi in training mode. Got about half its life down before the big Game Over.
I thought if you died more than once before the end of the GD fight you wouldn't get Hibachi, but this shows if you only die once (or no miss) up to GD, you still get Hibachi even if you die on GD.
Since I did 1CC the game past Golden Disaster, this beats my old 1CC score from 2011:
947,690,917,215 - ALL - B-Power - Autobomb OFF - X360 (HIGHEST 1CC SCORE) {4.16.2011}
I've been making some good progress in DFK BL this week. Today I finally broke the 1.4 trillion barrier with a score of 1,454,838,904,910.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoTiUmvVoAA26-_?format=jpg&name=small)
It's a bummer I didn't get a clear with this one. I got to the Golden Disaster fight with two spare lives and was doing fine until the second half where I suffered a silly death and then couldn't recover a hyper fast enough, which soon led to my demise. Oh well. Next goal is 1.5+ trillion, so maybe I'll get a clear with that one!
I got my DFK BL PCB up and running again (thanks to a new OSSC), and beat my top PCB score:
1,353,616,396,976
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eov3JTsU0AEWe3I?format=jpg&name=small)
Game over on the last phase of the ST5 boss. About 100 bil less than my best score on the port, so I've got some work to do!
Probably my last score of the year, 85 bil in DFK 1.5 with C-Strong, on the PCB. :righton:
85,624,969,433
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqcZeb2U0AELcxy?format=jpg&name=small)
Got over 100 bil with C-Strong on the X360 port:
118,263,997,202
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eq_gZx5U0AEVK2y?format=jpg&name=small)
I'm aiming for 300+ bil this year, so I still have a ways to go. It's a lot easier to score with C-Power, but I have more fun with C-Strong (especially in the loops), so I'm going to keep going with that ship.
I uploaded my 1.45 trillion DFK BL B-Power run to youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrUkl_JC1hA
Next up will be my B-Strong ALL.
B-Strong 745bil ALL:

Here's my 366 mil Espgaluda 2 Asagi ALL from 11 years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDyQyuI1Quo
Unfortunately I didn't save the replays for my Ageha or Tateha ALL scores, though both scores are still on the online leaderboards.
Also, from now on I am adding the links to these replays on my main score page, next to the respective scores.

Here's my 366 mil Espgaluda 2 Asagi ALL from 10 years ago
People have scoffed at me when they see me select Asagi in Galuda2. To me it's a no-brainer choice for the end of the game. Thanks for including the video! I learned some things that I'll have to try out the next time I borrow the board... or whenever I get off my lazy ass to just buy one.
Yeah, Asagi is a lot of fun! Definitely an underplayed character.
Speaking of 1CC runs focused more on the clear than scoring, here's my 155mil Futari 1.01 Maniac ALL with Normal Reco:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1ibzT_409U
I put the replay of my Deathsmiles II X-Mode Follett 11.6 bil ALL (TLB) run on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy8eCnQz-NU
This run was done way back in September 2010.
For a change of pace I gave B-Shot a whirl in SDOJ today and somehow cleared it for the first time (with this ship type). Decent score too.
8,277,633,710
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwuSkW0VoAY2n67?format=jpg&name=small)
Finished with one spare life and two bombs. Dumb death near the end kept me from 9bil.
Finally cleared SDOJ with C-Shot today! Definitely the hardest of the bunch.
5,858,305,362 - ALL (Lx1, Bx0)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EyFbrhgVIAIxnGu?format=jpg&name=small)
First laser 1CC!
5,380,025,621 - B-Laser
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EzVRoaEVgAAZoff?format=jpg&name=small)
That was one of my goals this year. Next up are C-Laser and A-Laser. Then I'll move on to Expert mode!
Got the C-Laser clear today.
5,925,868,558
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E0IwFmnVIAMSIyF?format=jpg&name=small)
Moving on to A-Laser now. :righton:
A-Laser didn't take long to clear!
5,292,649,581
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E0Qqs3YVEAIwr0Z?format=jpg&name=small)
Now that I've 1CC'd it with all shot and laser types, I am going to focus on one of them for score and try and learn some Expert mode strategies.
Tiny increase in my C-Shot score today:
5,906,907,231
(https://i.imgur.com/Adhn5tr.jpg)
I've decided to stick with this ship type for awhile and try and learn how to score well with it. I didn't use the port's training mode to help me get any of these SDOJ 1CCs because I wanted to do it the old school arcade way (it's a lot of fun, and very fulfilling). But I think I'll start practicing stage 5 now!
Another update on my SDOJ C-Shot score today:
6,254,869,018
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2nAbsUUUAQq3U4?format=jpg&name=small)
This is the first credit I played in the past few weeks. I had been playing DFK BL, MMP and Futari BL Maniac during this time.
A modest increase in my SDOJ C-S score:
6,980,276,752
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3BGFd7UcAMdKzt?format=jpg&name=small)
No miss to the ST4 boss, with one death there. 3.8bil at the end of ST4. ST5 was poor with many mistakes. Cleared it with one extra life and one bomb left. Getting more consistent with clearing it with C-S!
First SDOJ credit in over a month and I got new PB with C-Shot:
7,345,369,585
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E7mCPLUVUAgLcMV?format=jpg&name=small)
A rather sloppy run overall, but a much better ST5 than I usually get, which evened things out a bit. Blew a chance for 8bil at the last minute with a death on the ST5 boss.
Last score of 2021 from me.
SDOJ
8,348,021,102 - A-Shot - ALL (Lx1, Bx2) - Autobomb OFF
(https://i.imgur.com/7H2h0q8.jpg)
Sort of a laughable end to this run. I was on the last phase of the ST5 Boss, had a level 4 hyper in stock and one bomb. I moved in and activated the hyper to finish off the boss, but must have been a split second too late, since my autobomb went off, quickly followed by a death as I stared at the screen in disbelief. If not for that bizarre mistake this would have been over 9bil.
Happy New Year!
This year I plan to focus on scoring goals for SDOJ A-Shot/C-Shot, DFK BL B-Power, DFK 1.5 C-Power/C-Strong, and Muchi Muchi Pork. To that end, I've been practicing stages in SDOJ (X360), particularly different ST3 patterns. Here's a run I did in between practice sessions today.
9,024,663,909 - A-Shot - Lx2, Bx0
(https://i.imgur.com/TJApTdA.jpg)
That's my best score on the (much easier) X360 version to date.
Finally broke the 10bil barrier on the X360 port today. :)
10,739,033,683 - A-Shot- ALL (Lx2, Bx0)
(https://i.imgur.com/IrXfiAh.jpg)
Still need a lot of practice on ST5 and some more refinements to my ST3 pattern.
For a change of pace I played a credit of Muchi Muchi Pork (PCB) Harahara mode today and got a new high score with Rafute.
104,479,570
I made it up to the first midboss in ST5.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FI-WUEzaAAA7d_u?format=jpg&name=900x900)
I did a couple SDOJ Novice Expert 1CCs yesterday and today, which have been on my 'to do' list for awhile. Not too hard, really, about the same difficulty as a 1CC with Laser in the original game.
7,354,833,834 - C-EXPERT (Lx0, Bx0)
10,254,907,887 - B-EXPERT (Lx0, Bx1)
(https://i.imgur.com/rgKJeEV.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/eHuUqMi.jpg)
I know this has been said before but Novice Expert really is a gem, and is one of the many excellent reasons to own the SDOJ port.
I finally bought an arcade stick for my PS4 (Hori Rap Pro N. Hayabusa) in order to start playing Gunnail (PS4) properly, and I'm really hooked on the game. I got over 10 million today (currently #11 on the online rankings), so I thought I'd post the score.
12,374,600 - Stage 8
(https://i.imgur.com/POEJquU.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/AyMVKsv.jpg)
I've been practicing MFBL Maniac these days, but I took a break and fired up DFK BL for a change of pace. I had not played C-Strong in over six months, so I gave it a go, and beat my old score by about 60bil in my first credit!
448,727,414,911
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FKyolNLaIAEBf9e?format=jpg&name=small)
I made it past the second midboss in ST5, with a game over right after the bomb carrier. A death on the stage 1 boss too. :laugh:
EDIT: Here's the video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0_l3m_a6E
I practiced stage 5 in DFK BL with C-Strong for a few hours yesterday and today. I have learned the stage fairly well (surprisingly, it did not take very long). My best score in training mode today was 325 billion, with over 42,000 hits:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLXX7_naMAUEK17?format=jpg&name=small)
With my current patterns and sufficient ST4 boss milking I think I could get about 500 billion in the first four stages, so I'm aiming for an 800+ billion 1CC.
I practiced DFK BL ST4 with C-Strong a bit today and got 377 billion. I'm pretty consistent with this pattern now.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLyoqz3UcAES-Vo?format=jpg&name=small)
With some tweaks I should be able to get 400 billion. Plus 200 billion in the first three stages.
I keep going back and forth between C-Strong and C-Power in DFK 1.5, as I like them both. Currently I'm focusing on C-Power. I finally learned Stage 5. In training mode today I got 208 million in the stage, with a complete chain. I used one hyper after the second midboss, but with some more practice I should be able to get through that section without it, increasing my score further.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FMUWh4lUYAMnibz?format=jpg&name=small)
I did a couple full runs in DFK 1.5 today after several days of practicing different stages in Training mode, and got a new high score in the Omote loop.
273,116,159,530 - C-Power
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FMUxTE7VEAAJbvw?format=jpg&name=small)
266 mil in the first loop. Chain breaks in ST3 (beginning) and ST4 (in the section after the midboss). But I managed to chain ST5, so I'm happy with that.
I'm starting to learn Omote loop patterns so I will focus on that for the near future. I think Ura is too hard for me to 1CC at present, but I could realistically 1CC Omote with sufficient practice.
I did an Ura loop run and got 258 bil, beating my old score by 42 bil:

I got over 400bil in Stage 5 (C-Strong, DFK BL) in Training Mode today. :righton:

Man, practicing stage 5 the past few weeks really paid off. I nearly doubled my high score with C-Strong in DFK BL today! I also beat my best score with B-Strong by over 100 billion.
871,002,324,612 - Stage 5 (Boss)

This was a really nice run in all respects, I almost beat the ST5 boss too, but it would have been game over on Golden Disaster. I need to conserve at least one spare life for that. I played ST5 more conservatively than usual (quick hypers were used to survive several tricky parts). I saved the replay, of course, and I will upload that soon. :righton:
I'm back to C-Strong in DFK 1.5, practicing each stage. I got a new high score today, and my first time in the Ura loop with this ship/shot type. I also chained Stage 1-5 from start to finish, though a couple "safety" hypers were used in the middle to keep things going. Costly chain breaks in Stages 1-3 and 1-4 kept me from 200+bil. 159 bil first loop.

Game over at Golden Disaster. I have not practiced the Ura loop much with Strong style. Stage 2-5 is quite the challenge! But with some practice I think I can get through it without so many bombs.
I've been playing my DFK 1.5 PCB a bit this week and got some new scores with C-Strong in the Omote and Ura loops.
Omote:
113,271,539,707 - 2-ALL
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FNdWr9dUUAIgd9h?format=jpg&name=small)
Ura:
147,172,264,073 - EX Boss
(https://i.imgur.com/G3IkZO7.jpg)
I also gave A-Strong a whirl in DFK BL.
407,859,148,761
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FNIs8iNVQAATRIX?format=jpg&name=small)
An increase in my DFK 1.5 Omote Loop score with C-Strong (X360):
161,530,033,278 - 2-ALL
(https://i.imgur.com/VxaFMgxl.jpg)
In a different run I also got up the last phase of Hibachi in the Ura Loop, but couldn't quite pull out the clear (score was around 155bil).
I tried out Autobomb ON in DFK BL with C-Strong today, and nearly beat the ST5 boss on my first try:
135,473,550,128
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FORKljaVkAQ8Dst?format=jpg&name=small)
Unlike DFK 1.5, you increase your bomb stock not by dying but (like in DFK BL with Autobomb OFF) by collecting a bomb item while your bomb stock is full. Another interesting thing is when you autobomb your hyper does not stop (unlike DFK 1.5).
Scoring is quite difficult with Autobomb ON and obviously there is no way to score near the Autobomb OFF scores, but as its own score challenge (sort of like the Omote and Ura loops in DFK 1.5), it is pretty fun.
I got up to the EX BOSS (Golden Disaster) with Autobomb ON! Just one or two bombs away from the 1CC.
155,116,947,922

I got the 1CC with Autobomb ON! Pretty big score increase too. I saved the replay and I'll upload it later today or tomorrow.
DFK BL - C-Strong (X360)

EDIT: Here is the replay:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVkb0RrrZag
A minor increase in my DFK 1.5 Omote 2-ALL score, with C-Strong. I had 120bil at the end of ST4, then a chain break in the middle of ST5 stopped my score in its tracks, and lots of autobombs in the Omote loop did not help much.
174,199,245,682
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FO0PhcVUcAEAkFJ?format=jpg&name=small)
I've also been dabbling in B-Strong in both 1.5 and BL again, and may try to get some higher scores with that ship as well.
Nearly got 200 bil on the PCB today (DFK 1.5, C-Strong). :righton:
197,966,889,153 - Omote 2-ALL
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FO7VYO5UcAMGOHZ?format=jpg&name=small)
I improved my Ura loop score with C-Strong in DFK 1.5 (X360) today, and got up to the last phase of Hibachi. 180bil first loop, but only 31bil before stage 5. If I could chain everything in the first five stages with my current patterns, I'd be looking at around 300bil before the loop. More practice is needed!

I played SDOJ (PCB) for a change of pace and got a new high score with A-Shot:
8,992,029,027
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FQCPpUSWUAQsd9-?format=jpg&name=small)
First time I beat the game with 3 spare lives in stock, which gave me a nice 4 bil end bonus! Unfortunately, I messed up the scoring in stages 3 and 4.
Finally got over 200bil in DFK 1.5 (PCB) with C-Strong! 130bil first loop.
208,151,409,610 - Omote 2-ALL (Lx2, Bx3)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSsDq3baAAMfYHY?format=jpg&name=small)
Slight increase in my SDOJ A-Shot (PCB) score:
9,284,930,255 - ALL (Lx1, Bx3)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FS7L8TTaAAEGE7M?format=jpg&name=small)
Too bad I didn't finish with another life or two in stock. Pretty sloppy run in that regard. 4.2bil at the end of ST4, 6.7bil before the end bonus.
Inspired by fufufu's Abnormal Reco Ultra mode score, yesterday I started playing Ver 1.5 Maniac (X360) with Abnormal Reco. Today I made it to the last boss with 350 mil, which is a good start!
350,451,814 - Stage 5 (Boss) - Abnormal Reco
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FUXz9_pacAAfgHm?format=jpg&name=small)
It was no miss until the end of ST4, where I lost two lives. I actually missed the 1UP in ST5, but still entered into the last boss fight with two lives. I'd really like to 1CC it with this ship type, so I'll keep trying.
I finally got over 900 mil in MFBL Maniac with Reco! This is on the X360 port.
909,471,242 - ALL [Lx1, Bx3]
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FU7mCHdaQAA1VLb?format=jpg&name=small)
I got to the last boss with three bombs and three lives, but did lots of panic bombs just to make sure I'd clear it with over 900mil.
Another increase in my MFBL Maniac (X360) score with Reco:
924,189,430 - ALL [Lx1, Bx3]
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FVVgidEaQAAyM2L?format=jpg&name=small)
Careless deaths in stages 4 and 5. Entered the last boss fight with 3 lives and 2 bombs.
I started playing SDOJ again a few days ago, and finally got over 10 billion on the PCB today!
10,137,072,321 - A-Shot - ALL (Lx2, Bx2)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FcvJvVBaAAMTrY3?format=jpg&name=small)
I improved my X360 SDOJ score today:
11,735,625,345 - ALL (Lx3, Bx1)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdDbWNGakAMww3m?format=jpg&name=small)
Only one death away from reaching Hibachi! Playing the X360 version right after the PCB reminds me of how much easier it is, but it's still a lot of fun, and the Training Mode is very useful!
I've been playing DFK 1.5 with B-Strong this week. Today I improved on my old 53bil 2-ALL PCB score from 2019:
126,573,858,224 - 2-ALL (Lx0, Bx2) - Omote
(https://i.imgur.com/cSUoSh6l.jpg)
Back to C-S in SDOJ (PCB), and beat my old score by nearly a billion:
8,279,323,780 - ALL [Lx2, Bx0] - C-Shot
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ffoot48agAAyjY8?format=jpg&name=small)
I'm back to C-Strong in DFK 1.5. B-Strong is fun too, but I prefer C and seem to score better with it.
New Ura loop personal best (X360 version):
201,712,535,520 - EX Boss - Ura
(https://i.imgur.com/A6iPrzil.jpg)
Funny thing is I got 195bil in the first loop in this run, my best yet!
Current focus is 300+mil in Omote.
Slight increase in my DFK 1.5 C-Strong Omote (X360) score:
210,438,413,027 - 2-ALL [Lx1, Bx0]
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgTmWOgVUAEmmBj?format=jpg&name=small)
I've been really enjoying the Akai Katana PS4 port, and got 348mil today:
348,916,990 - ALL [Lx4, Bx1]
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fkn7x82UUAAkfIJ?format=jpg&name=small)
Replay is on the leaderboards. It's so nice to FINALLY have a (90%+) arcade-perfect home port of this game, with a proper training mode. Actually, I think it's kind of a miracle this even exists. I've been practicing stages 3 and 4 a lot and hope to keep improving. :righton:
I improved my AK Arcade mode score again:
361,613,540 - ALL [Lx2, Bx2] - Type 3
Pretty sloppy with three deaths before stage 5! I have been practicing the first three stages a lot, but messed up a lot of scoring opportunities in this run.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fk8ogEtacAEuGvd?format=jpg&name=small)
Still chipping away at Akai Katana. Here is today's increase:
373,514,870 - ALL [Lx3, Bx3] - Type 3
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlBfOFbaUAAliS4?format=jpg&name=small)
Not bad overall, except the ST5 boss which I really messed up. I only got 81mil in Stage 5 in this run, whereas in my previous 361mil run I got 98mil.
Last score from me for 2022. Getting close to 400mil in Akai Katana, but not quite there yet!
393,452,120 - ALL [Lx4, Bx4] - Type 3
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlS-q2saYAI1hI8?format=jpg&name=small)
Pretty good run except for Stage 3, which I messed up. I got 87mil there in training mode today, but only 73mil in this run.
Finally got over 400mil in Akai Katana (PS4)!
409,017,690 - ALL [Lx4, Bx3] - Type 3
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Flq7th3aEAYPVjK?format=jpg&name=small)
Replay is on the PS4 leaderboards. I'm really loving this game now that I understand the intricacies of the scoring. My ST1-3 patterns are pretty solid, but I still don't have a clear pattern throughout ST4 or ST5, so I'll start practicing those in training mode.
Another Akai Katana (PS4) increase:
419,195,720 - ALL [Lx3.5, Bx5] - Type 3
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fl6JT40acAA4vm5?format=jpg&name=small)
One death in the middle of Stage 3, with several million lost in the stage due to that. I also messed up the scoring on the ST5 and ST6 bosses.
My first no-miss clear in AK (PS4)! :righton: Done with the stock PS5 controller. :cool:
427,111, 340 - ALL [Lx5, Bx3] - Type 3
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fl-yBLhagAAmg6b?format=jpg&name=small)
Replay is on the PS4 leaderboards, as usual. Pretty good from start to finish, except ST5 where I only got 90mil. I usually get around 98mil there.
I was in the mood for some MMP this week so I gave 1.01 a whirl with Rafute. First 2-ALL in many years, and I beat my old 311mil score from 2011! Still don't know what I'm doing the the second loop.
VER 1.01
338,259,820 - Rafute - 2-ALL
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FqaerVsaIAIN5Mp?format=jpg&name=small)
I'm back to SDOJ, and got a new high score with A-Shot on the X360 port today:
12,048,375,277 - ALL [Lx3, Bx0] - A-Shot - Autobomb ON
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ftjvz_AaQAIWnnC?format=jpg&name=small)
Slight increase in my SDOJ C-Shot PCB score:
8,796,262,403 - ALL [Lx1, Bx3] - Autobomb ON
(https://i.imgur.com/hOExMKfl.jpg)
New high score with A-Shot in SDOJ (X360 port). Getting near 13bil!
12,845,259,862 - ALL [Lx3, Bx0] - Autobomb ON
(https://i.imgur.com/7ijVAqZl.jpg)
I started playing MMP's Matsuri Ver today after a long time, and got a new high score with Momo!
234,467,360 - ALL - Momo
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvXL5SiaQAEAh53?format=jpg&name=small)
A couple more credits, and I managed to squeak out a new WR with Momo!
Muchi Muchi Pork - Matsuri Ver
243,604,360 - ALL - Momo
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvvugykaAAAYDGj?format=jpg&name=small)
I missed a few large cancels on the bosses, so 250+mil should be doable.
I did a credit in MMP Ver 1.00 (X360) and improved my Momo score by quite a bit:
188,549,170 - Momo - 1-ALL
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwDT7EZaYAA3pK4?format=jpg&name=small)
I missed the last two cancels on the ST4 boss and the last cancel on the final boss, costing me around 10mil total. Also one chain break that cost me several million!
Pretty close to my best Momo PCB score of 191mil!
Finally got over 200mil in MMP with Momo (PCB Version)! :righton:
202,888,130 - Momo - 1-ALL
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwIFsWxaMAEA9kL?format=jpg&name=small)
I killed the final boss before I could do the gold cancel, costing me a few million. I also missed the first two cancels on that boss. Oh well, maybe next time! Otherwise a pretty good run. 145mil at the end of ST4. A run with full boss cancels and no chain drops would put me at about 210mil.
I've returned to DFK 1.5 (X360 ver) and I've been having a lot of fun. I got a new high score in the Omote loop today:
222,539,763,723 - C-Strong - Omote 2-ALL (Lx1, Bx4)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FzmtTTRXgAEFuor?format=jpg&name=small)
208mil at the end of first loop. Messed up 1-4 pretty bad with a chain break before the midboss but did a full chain in 1-5. Still getting close to nothing in the loop. I guess more practice is needed!
