World Record Scores - Arcade (Updated 15-May-2022)

[EOJ]

This thread replaces the old thread by Plasmo.

What follows below are all of the current World Record scores for Cave’s arcade shooting games. Most scores are from Arcadia magazine and were done on the original arcade versions. 1CC scores are listed first, and if there is a higher non-1CC score it is  placed in brackets after. Higher scores done on home ports are included in addition to, but not in place of, PCB scores, and are listed in parentheses after.  If you have any newer scores to submit, please do so in the forum thread. Many thanks to forum member Plasmo for keeping track of the scores prior to this thread. Also thanks to forum members marus, adversity, x91 and Kaneda for posting updates on Arcadia’s scores.

Some scores on this list might be a out of date, please post the newest scores in this thread. Thanks.

[Let_It_Be]

Thanks for posting these scores, I was wondering what happened to plasmo's site.  Do you know where I could find non-Cave STG world records in English now?

[CIB]

damn, do I hate seeing web forums I've been lurking for years disappearing with all their precious infos 

[Medal]

I wouldn't be so worried just yet. Plasmo and a certain other figure had something else up their sleeves a while ago, and this may be a sign that it's soon in coming.

[Plasmo]

I wouldn't be so worried just yet. Plasmo and a certain other figure had something else up their sleeves a while ago, and this may be a sign that it's soon in coming.

How awesome this project could've been...Unfortunately we both don't seem to have any time.


@EOJ
Do you maybe happen to have all the scores from the cowboy forums? I didn't make a backup and for the time being they are lost.

[moozooh]

Not making a backup is a criminal offense by itself, but you should've let Google or Archive.org robot crawl the page to have it cached. ;)

What happened, anyway? Expired hosting?

[EOJ]

@Plasmo: I'll check, but I think this is it. I know it's not the most recent list either, as there were higher scores for Akai Katana in your latest list, for example.

Maybe someone else made a backup? I can't be the only one...right?

[TimingTripod40]

Yeah, and I'm also pretty sure the last update had NAK upping his God mode score to 6.6 billion.

How many of these runs are on video?

[Medal]

It always vaguely occurred to me that I should save a list one of these months. Oh, well. Maybe I actually did just CTRL+S the page. I'll check my drives soon. Maybe Sunday.

Amazing scores in August Arcadia

ZAP is saying he can get one more 100 mil out of God mode, which means we may see a 7 billion score soon. Incredible.

P.S. Wish I could post scores every month but am too busy.

[Let_It_Be]

Thanks for the update, those are indeed amazing scores.

[moozooh]

Mushihimesama Futari Black Label   God Palm   6,985,897,965   ZAP  All, 5 Remains, 6 bombs
                                                God Reco  6,985,897,965   NAK  All, 3 Remains, 2 bombs

Which of the two is the copypaste victim? :)

I agree though, amazing update. I was thinking of a possibility of a 7 billion God score just a few hours ago, and here goes the confirmation. Maybe I should think about a video being released too? :)
Also really nice to see HFD back! Really unexpected that he'd go back to DOJ after such a hiatus, but hey, it's probably his favorite game in the first place.

[adverse]

Which of the two is the copypaste victim?

The Reco score, sorry!

I hope that helps.

[TimingTripod40]

If he can start doing crazy shit like no miss/no bombing the entire game NAK could definitely score higher than 7 billion. I'm pretty sure Reco has a little more scoring potential as point blanking drives her counter up much faster due to the options. It's just that finishing with 5 lives/6 bombs adds like 700 million to your score.

How come you guys never post your God mode scores? I can't be the only one playing this awesome game.

[Aliquantic]

As marus just pointed out to me, the Cowboys forum seems to be back up! http://cowboy.ikaruga.co.uk/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=147&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

[Plasmo]

That's right. It'll be up this year and then goes down forever in January 2012. Furthermore it will not be updated anymore.

But don't be sad, there's a bigger project in the oven already. Looks like Medal was right after all.

[Aliquantic]

Yeah, we've been hearing a few things from Medal about a certain other project Good luck to you guys!

Oh, and do you mind if we keep the WR list updated in the interim to help you out a little bit or is that unnecessary?

[Plasmo]

Oh, and do you mind if we keep the WR list updated in the interim to help you out a little bit or is that unnecessary?

That would make things a bit easier for me I guess. Keep the scores coming!

Thanks a lot for posting the scores.

Awesome news. I knew NAK could do it. Any idea how many lives/bombs he had left?

[marus]

Yup, it says 4 lives and 3 bombs.  And TLB obviously.

I think ZAP just got 7 billion if I'm reading Google Translate right.

You're all welcome    Btw, I posted some scores for non-CAVE games over on shmups forum if anyone is interested.

I'm sorry that some of the scores are out of date - unfortunately it takes about a month from when the magazine gets released until I get it in my hands in the States.  If anyone in Japan also reads Arcadia and wants to take over for me then feel free to do so.
