I've opened a Youtube channel today:
https://www.youtube.com/user/eojx9999/
The purpose of this channel is to archive all of the old videos I've accumulated over the years, many of which are no longer available anywhere online. This includes strategy videos, location test videos, and other related videos.
I am happy to upload any other content donated by members here, including recent replays of your own high score runs.
UPDATE (January 2021): I am now also uploading high-scoring replays from the Japanese Xbox Live leaderboards, as well as my own replays.
Video #1 is Pink Sweets Harder Mode Stage 3 with Shasta by Galford, showing how to trigger the infinite lives by the end of that stage.
https://youtu.be/T2eXwDiMoPg
Video #2 is an excellent stage 1 pattern in Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5's Maniac Mode, with Abnormal Reco, by the player TSUMANNE. Over 50 million points are had by the end of the stage.
https://youtu.be/twII8ufgFSU
Looking forward to this! It's always welcome to have more resources for superplays, strategy, etc. :righton:
Great! I'm hoping a lot of people will enjoy this. I have a TON of stuff (like, hundreds of videos), much of which is not yet available on youtube.
Video #3:
https://youtu.be/JJ3PK6No8ck
This is a great, early scoring run (done in January 2007) in Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5's Stage 2 (Maniac Mode with Normal Palm).
Subbed!
Video #4:

Video #5:
https://youtu.be/5sBsLYyKp30
47 million points in Stage 3 of Muchi Muchi Pork with Ikuo, by the WR holder LIS.
I have the infamous "Cock Laser" DFK loke test video if you want it.
Made by that long haired hippie GaijinPunch. I should still have some stuff like Mushi Blue and the special Ketsui version if you want.
Thanks for that, I'll upload it. I think I have the other ones, though I'd have to check.
Video #6:

Video #13 is up, after a long hiatus!
https://youtu.be/a03D5spqnRM
Deathsmiles Mega Black Label (PCB) - Rosa - 7,705,970,504
Unknown player.
This is the highest scoring replay I've found thus far with Rosa on the original PCB. This player gets over 3 billion in the first six stages with two Lv2 stages and only one Lv999 stage. It's very difficult to find any good videos with Rosa, so this one is great to have.
Thanks for the upload! Will add to my list, much appreciated! :righton:
Some exciting news for the New Year! I bought an Elgato HD 60 S capture device. With this, I will begin to record and upload lots of high-scoring replays from the Japanese Xbox Live leaderboards. I will also finally be able to record and upload my own X360 replays (and potentially PCB scores too -- we'll see!).
The first video is a special one, 1.69 trillion in DFK BL with B-Strong, by SYU! This is by far the highest-scoring replay for this ship-type available anywhere, and just a tiny bit below the WR on the PCB. I recorded it at 1080p and 60fps, but I'm not sure how many others I will do at this high quality because the file size is nearly 7GB and it took a couple hours to upload and process. Probably will switch to 720p and 30fps in the future.
Anyway, enjoy! And subscribe to my youtube channel if you want keep up to date on the latest CAVE STG videos. :righton:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1nffMHClew
Here's the next video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTEKtaoHRsk
1.33 trillion with C-Power in DFK BL, by ATT. Like before, this is the highest scoring replay available with this ship type.
This is a beautiful project! Thanks a lot for doing this! :righton: Who knows for how long the 360 leaderboards will stay online...
FYI some people over at the shmups wiki are doing something similar: https://shmups.wiki/library/Archival_Efforts
Maybe this can save you some work or helps to calibrate your focus. A second mirror surely doesn't hurt either!
Waiting eagerly for your next upload.

Thanks for that link. I'll check it and make sure not to record/upload anything already there. I plan to upload a new replay nearly every day (well, for the near future at least).
I also have a lot of good replays saved on my X360 that are no longer on the leaderboards, so those will be good to upload.
I've found 720p/60fps to be the best for high quality with a manageable file size, so all the replays from here on out will be in that format.
New video:

DFK BL C-Strong, 1.06 trillion, by R..
Next one up:
Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Ver 1.5 - B-Power - 855,713,466,495 - Ura 2-EX Boss 2 (by boredom2027)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLVQK7YEPnU
This is the highest-scoring replay with B-Power I am aware of (port or PCB).
Added chrono's 1.19 trillion C-Strong run in DFK BL (PCB version):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSvQSNCcDvo
Thanks for bringing this back! :righton: I remember when the PS4 came out with the Share button and had the functionality to upload stuff to YT, my first thought was about replays of games like these. But yeah, that Elgato HD60 is a great tool, I just never had the patience to rip videos to upload anywhere.
It's also a bummer that the leaderboard-replay feature has been absent from a lot of the Cave ports. It was always nice to see "1sissy" (as the French say) style play where someone may be good enough to beat a game but not superplay. Those kinds of strategies have often really helped me understand the intermediate points of a game, which in turn helps me appreciate those badass replays by the ultra-talented players even more.
Cheers, glad to hear you're enjoying the content on my youtube channel. Much more to come!
Speaking of that, here's today's video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcJhivFQ0Jo
It's a 789bil C-Strong 2-ALL in DFK 1.5 (Ura route), by KJU. This is the highest-scoring replay with this ship type on the leaderboards.
Two Espgaluda II replays from the Japanese X360 leaderboards:
1) Tateha 814mil:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po6Mfkp9ipM
2) Asagi 720mil:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMlOYIoroW8
Both are pretty awesome.
Your pcb uploads are invaluable man! Thanks so much!
^ You're welcome. :)
DFK BL B-Bomb, Autobomb ON, 389bil Hibachi-ALL (JP XBL DLC leaderboards replay):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRJdXFIjPwY
This is actually a very cool and useful video. It's hard to find any decent-scoring videos with Autobomb-ON, and this one even includes the Hibachi fight.
DFK 1.5 - A-Strong - 383bil - Ura 2-ALL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAiGftWvYZ8
Best replay on the JP leaderboards for this ship type. A nice 334 bil first loop, and a no-miss until the middle of 2-5.
I've started recording Pink Sweets and MMP videos from the leaderboards. Here's the first one, Pink Sweets Arrange 704mil with Lace, by Kiz Eis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH2pIBBPP-I
456 mil Muchi Muchi Pork Ver 1.01, Momo, 2-ALL, by KSCUD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ypAep-20Gk
Awesome vid. 30.6 mil Stage 1.
DFK 1.51 counterstop!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urGWR6grTY8
DOJ X-mode 496bil A-Laser, by Cloverdac:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-yE9QbTHuU
Another great Pink Sweets Arrange mode video, this time Midi & Meidi, 614mil, by KAGAYAKISTYLE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgASeOBXwjE
Espgaluda II Black Label, Ageha, 2.3bil by H-Y:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwKdzoghkJQ
Another ESPII replay coming next.
Espgaluda II Arrange, Asagi, 12.3 bil by KUU:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh6dCenm6wY
Fun tidbit: When the game crosses over into 10 billion points (during the ST6 boss fight), in the Play Score Status window on the left the 10 changes into a ":", then the 11 changes to ";", and finally the 12 changes to "<". This is because the game can only display 10 digits there.
One more video coming tonight, continuing the theme of Arrange modes programmed by Yagawa.
SDOJ Novice Expert, Type C, 38bil no miss ALL:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cADeWUbApS8
Still my favorite 'arrange' mode of SDOJ ever made, programmed by the incomparable Yagawa (also the last STG he ever programmed outside of mobile stuff).
SDOJ Xbox 360 Mode 57bil Laser-type:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXidemG5gsg
Futari Arrange Maniac 8.2bil by sinmoon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA1dmEXy66Q
Mushi Matsuri Ver 1.5, 1.3bil in Original MAX:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YhlX7tOtgM
Last two for today:
Mushi Matsuri Ver 1.5 Maniac 10.9bil ALL:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl1zdW9sacc
Mushi Matsuri Ver 1.5 Maniac MAX 3.6bil ALL:

Mushi Matsuri 1.5 Original mode 116mil by kitsuneudon2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGFYmgHTMcE
I added SUG's 31bil ALL with C-Shot in SDOJ (X360) today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBIrlGNLkwI
This is a very cool run, showing an awesome st3 pattern that I had not seen before. 4.3 bil on that stage alone!
One more for today. SDOJ (X360) A-Laser, 31bil Hibachi ALL by KGM:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZDQxTam_Ps
Latest uploads:
MMP 1.01 Momo 452mil 2-ALL:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-wzR0veaQs
DFK BL (X360) 1.8 tril B-Strong WR:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOJnotAYikA
I noticed I still had the MMP replay I downloaded way back in 2012. Soon after that it was no longer available for download because the same player got a score of 456mil. But in this 452mil run some parts were done better, so it's worth archiving and a watch. I already discussed the DFK BL score in the WR scores thread. It's one of the best runs in recent years (in any game).
I added LEN's 863bil WR in SDOJ EXA Label today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kpn0y9-urA
This was live-streamed yesterday.
Unfortunately no sound on this one, and the video freezes at times due to technical difficulties during the stream.
Uploaded this one today:
Dodonpachi Daioujou - X Mode - B-Laser - 448,186,325,680
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCB_7m822W4
One more DOJ X Mode video! This time 121 billion with B-Hyper.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9KejSv8QEY
Today's video is Espgaluda II Black Label, 2.66 billion with Tateha:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRt3sfkTfhM
These videos are terrific. Thank you for uploading them.
Since yesterday I've added three videos: two MMP 1.01 Harahara vids, and the top replay in Ketsui Deathtiny mode. Check out my youtube channel to see them.
I added a 42mil Arcade Plus replay with Irori, in ESP Ra.De. Psi (PS4).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV8kOmPRlqc
Ketsui Deathtiny Mode 755mil with Type B:
https://youtu.be/lTmFNsdqfiQ
I added a Pink Sweets 1.01 Midi & Meidi 11.4mil ALL replay by SKR774:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8TiVlXamLs
The highlight is the very end, where the player survives several rounds of Big Burn's final dagger attack on his last life.
