No September Famitsu scores? Anyone? :(

The new scores are up here. As far as Cave Games go the only the only new scores seem to be

DSMBL
10,514,542,299 - Folette - SPE

DSII 4.0
1,316,034,157 - Windia - ましこ

SDOJ

23,470,788,432 - B-S - SYL
29,215,817,675 - B-L - イマサラＫＭＢ－ＳＡＮＧＯ(そ)

28,369,298,009 - C-L - たまねぎマン「うおおおお」ＫＭＢ(そ)

Plus there's that new Garegga Gain score NTSC-J already reported.

[moozooh]

Thanks. Looks like I was spot-on with my estimates for SDOJ.

I'm wondering if TAC is using rank control methods in his top-scoring runs, and what his end bonus is. If he lost more than two lives on the 30 billion run there's definitely a solid route improvement in place compared to what we've seen so far.

[EOJ]

Updated after 6 years. Please let me know if there are any mistakes, and post any new scores you find.

SPE got a new high score in Deathsmiles with Follett (Xbox 360 version): 702,585,510.

[EOJ]

Added a 1.5+ trillion DFK BL A-Strong score I found on the xbox live leaderboards.

[Plasmo]

A small correction:

790,813,760 - Clover-TAC – Type C-S

TAC used C-L, opposed to all the records prior to him.

[EOJ]

Thanks! Fixed.

[EOJ]

I added a DSMBL Follett score from SPE I found on the Xbox leaderboards today. Lots of great scores on the online leaderboards, but it's hard to keep track of them all!

[EOJ]

This month's JHA scores:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l6dEdsqxjDOSoyvnz0Zt6LgjthXKT7ag6AInjPx_b3w/edit#gid=281970395

Nothing new here except a DDPDFK BL Type A Bomb score by Niboshi (1,043,612,115,989) which I will add to the tables.

Incidentally, SPE has said with this score he is done with Follett in Deathsmiles and will move on to other targets.

[Plasmo]

If anyone was wondering, "Niboshi" is just another alias of ISO.

[EOJ]

I never would have guessed. Thanks for the tip.

New updates:

SDOJ:
1,305,973,868,514 - KSG - Type B-L (Hibachi ALL)

Does anyone have access to the 360 leaderboards of Akai Katana? I expect higher scores than the ones listed here, since videos such as this exist: https://youtu.be/ZoOCvXKnnzQ

Moreover, SIN's replay on the official superplay DVD for Akai Katana Shin (using type 2) tops the Arcadia score by quite a bit: 7,241,623,000. It is also to be found on the 360 leaderboards afaik.

I do not understand why you expect higher scores than are listed here when you link to a video that is less than the WR. That video is with Type 3 (and done on the PCB), and is 36 mil less than the WR by AKF. The best score I've seen on the X360 version with Type 3 is 525mil, which is PHA's run on the official Superplay DVD (you can watch it here). It is hard to find good scoring runs with Types 1 or 2; the top scores on the X360 leaderboards with these ships are quite a bit lower than the best scores done on the PCB.

Moreover, SIN's replay on the official superplay DVD for Akai Katana Shin (using type 2) tops the Arcadia score by quite a bit: 7,241,623,000. It is also to be found on the 360 leaderboards afaik.

Last I checked there was a score of over 8 billion by kuchiniko on the 360 Shin leaderboards. No replay, unfortunately.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Any reason why you don't add the higher scores from the port (or simply mention them additionally, as you did with the others)?

[EOJ]

From what I understand the Nesica version of Shin is a bit different, so the scores aren't comparable IMO. I would like to add all of the port arrange mode scores some time, but I haven't gotten around to it.

[Plasmo]

From what I understand the Nesica version of Shin is a bit different, so the scores aren't comparable IMO.

But isn't that the case with all of the ports? Or is it particularly noticeable with AK Shin? Forgive me my ignorance, I don't have a clue about this topic.

Anyway, thanks for the explanation!

[EOJ]

Well the differences in this case are in the game system, not in something like slowdown accuracy.

I had a list of the differences but can't seem to find them now. I'll have to search a bit.

However, in general I do not think scores on ports should be compared on the exact same level as the PCBs, except in some special cases. Ditto for MAME scores. That is why I list my own scores done on the PCBs and ports separately in my high score thread.

New WR in Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label (B Type) by Rokukichi: 3,580,357,290

Considering the mistakes, 3,7bil is in sight!

Clover-TAC has finally beaten his old score with J-B5th in Esprade, crossing past 40 million!

"Finally"? It took him one month. He already had a submission last month, so he went from:

2004/01: 39,684,100
2018/05: 40,068,780
2018/06: 41,036,530

Pretty amazing progress to say the least. Let's see how far he can push it!

[EOJ]

I didn't know about his score last month (somehow I missed that one!), so of course I was referring to his old 39 million score.

[EOJ]

Some new scores:

DSMBL (Follett) by SPE: 12,867,661,411

DDPDFK BL (B-Bomb, with Hibachi) by Niboshi: 1,304,471,566,121

Source: https://twitter.com/niboshi_07_07/status/1026046071737180160

Note: Niboshi has a slightly higher score without Hibachi, which he got in June: https://twitter.com/niboshi_07_07/status/1010107635029270528

New scores from this month's JHA (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l6dEdsqxjDOSoyvnz0Zt6LgjthXKT7ag6AInjPx_b3w/edit#gid=546344844)

ESP.Ra.De
Irori 43,331,930 - Clover-TAC
J-B5th 41,675,530 - Clover-TAC

SDOJ
1,455,172,665,270 - C-Shot - SUGはしあわせのくつをはいた

Also a new MFBL Maniac score from TKG, but it is 1.41 billion, which is not near KTL-NAL's 1.55 bil record on the superplay DVD.

[Plasmo]

Surely the most surprising thing is Clover-TAC playing on 1P side with Irori.

[EOJ]

An incredible new Ageha Espgaluda 2 score by YOZ: 1,038,000,258.

https://twitter.com/Yora_/status/1038692041683697664

[EOJ]

New JHA scores are up. Only ones I missed from earlier are these:

ESP.Ra.De
43,604,760 - Clover-TAC - Irori (1P side, C-button select)

DDPDFK BL C-Bomb
1,080,386,578,528 - Niboshi

Interesting that for Niboshi's runs he uses rapid fire button(s) as well as a special button rigged for A+C. Sounds like a complex setup, reminiscent of Mushihimesama.

[EOJ]

DDPDFK BL C-Bomb
1,168,899,830,773 - Niboshi
