Deathsmiles (New)

[cstarflare]

Taking over for EOJ; I've updated the boards with all the posts from the old thread. If I've missed something, let me know.

PCB, 360, and 1.1 scores accepted. Mega Black Label scores should be posted here.
Strategy guide and discussion can be found here. General game discussion for the PCB release can be found here, while discussion about the 360 port can be found here.

Everything below this line has been lifted from EOJ's original High Score thread, located here.

Rules: no continues, and default live stock, difficulty, and extends. Submit in the order shown in the table. The PCB has separate rankings for each character, so I've set up similar rankings here along with separate rankings for scores done with the extra Canyon stage, as Arcadia magazine records such scores separately.

Key for all tables:
SCORE - NAME - STAGE (L=X/5, BxX for ALL scores) - Character- Version (PCB/Arcade Mode/X360 Mode/Ver 1.1)

L=X/5 for ALL scores indicates how many life containers you finished the game with (for example, if you finish the game with 2 full life containers, list it as L=2/5, if you finish with 3.5 life containers, list it as L=3.5/5)

I guess I'll be the first to put up a score in the new thread:

124,029,253 - ookitarepanda - ALL (L=2/5, Bx3) - Rosa - PCB

Updated.

I fear the US release of this game.

[HVL]

Quite dissatisfied with the run but hey, at least beat my previous score.

220,403,120 - HVL - ALL [L=2/5, Bx2] - Follett - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)



Here's also slightly improved Casper score from last year, never got around submitting this.

195,440,800  - HVL - ALL [L=2/5, Bx1] - Casper - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)


EDIT: Both are w/o EX.

[HVL]

Tried some new strats. Not quite there yet, 250 mil should be piece of cake if I get my shit even remotely right.

229,215,753 - HVL - ALL [L=1/5, Bx3] - Follett - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)

[cstarflare]

Updated. Sorry for the delay; I saw your last post and was like "I'll take care of that later."

[HVL]

Smashed it.

251,027,349 - ALL [L=1.5/5, Bx0] - Follett - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)

[antares]

Good job HVL, I'm currently working on a new highscore too, 270+ mil should be doable with my current strats but I always fuck up the last stage.

What's your score before the Final stage? My best was 164 mil.

233,391,633 - antares - ALL [L=2/5, Bx3] - Follett - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)

My usual is 140-150m but on that run I got 162m, which is my best so far.

I could boost my score quite a bit if I bothered to nail down the volcano double recharge. I can do the lock shot recharge at the large rock somewhat consistently but I always mess up the bomb recharge after the last "stone waterfall." I usually play it safe and stay in normal mode after the first recharge.

[antares]

Ex Off:

262,142,282 - antares - ALL [L=4/5, Bx3] - Follett - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)

I'm happy with my score increase atm but it could have been around 285 mil without some mistakes.

Replay is up in the weekly leaderboards.

That's better than me, I always play it safe and do the bomb recharge before the giant rock in the middle and never bother with the second recharge.

267,082,982 - antares - ALL [L=3/5, Bx3] - Follett - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)



I'm still making to many mistakes in the final stage.

On my best run my scores in the first 6 stages were something like this:

A1: 1 mil
C2: 74
B1: 104
A2: 131
C1: 147
B2: 175

[antares]

Tiny improvement:

Ex Off:

268,083,167 - antares - ALL - Follett - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)

This run was pretty perfect until stage 5-2. From then on I didn't get anything right and lost 4 lives. Could have been 20 mil more otherwise I guess.

[HVL]

Good work, antares. Aiming for 300 million?

Played a few credits w/ Windia in anticipation of Deathsmiles II.

EX OFF:

Replay should be up on the leaderboards. Can't remember which spot exactly, somewhere around 15th I think?

Terrible run on the forest, but managed to hit 5.7 bil in the first six stages. Then I took two deaths in the second half of the canyon and one early in the castle stage... I think I scored better in the canyon than the castle which is ridiculous. I can no miss the canyon boss now, so if I can no miss the canyon and not eat it in the castle I think I could get close to 10 bil. I was planning on stopping when I beat GaijinPunch's score, but right now I see so much room for improvement that I want to see how far I can go. Shooting for the top in the US leaderboard should be a good motivator. :3

[NR777]

I guess I'll throw in my score, even though it sucks and the NA version really isn't comparable (though I don't know how many people here are actually playing it):

87,716,504 - NRR - EX OFF - ALL[ L=2, Bx2 ] - Rosa - X360/Arcade Mode - NA Version

No miss run up until Jitterbug and then I horribly fucked up the Tyrannosatan fight...still managed to get a score better than my previous clear, though.  Once I top 200 mil I think I'll be happy.

[EOJ]

You can open a new thread for the US version of Deathsmiles, but those scores don't belong in here, sorry.

[JOW]

An EX OFF score from a long long time ago.

148,503,619 - JOW - ALL [L=?/5, Bx?] - Follett - Xbox 360 (X360 Mode)

...be nice to have time to give this a good thrashing on arcade mode but futari and ketsui are taking all available gaming time at the mo.

[xris]

EX off
121,938,643 - xris - ALL (L?B?) - Rosa - X360
Looks like I'm going to have to put in a score for arcade mode on this board. I'll be back with that soonish.

[EOJ]

The NA version has a slowdown patch and the EU version's slowdown seems on par with the JP release, so scores from all versions are now welcome in this thread.

[Van_Artic]

fired up 1.1 mode and it went better than expected

5,750,341,692 - BLZ - 4-2 Boss - Windia - 1.1 - EX

Canyon is still a big pain in the ass, missed 2 times there, no-missed Castle, and then my 3 lives left are burned out by Jitterbug

next target is 6 bil

[HVL]

142,244,306 - ALL [L=4/5, Bx3] - Rosa - Xbox 360 (Arcade Mode)

As before, Japanese version.



Test driving SLG, such a nice piece of gear. I wish I had it when I played this game actively.

Never liked Rosa really but I played a credit so I have scores with all characters.

[TonK]

I'll get in on this one.
