CAVE 12/2007 (PCB)This is the
Mushihimesama Futari Black Label high score thread.
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 in Original, Maniac, and God modes, so I've set up similar rankings here.
Key for all tables:
SCORE - NAME - STAGE (LxX, BxX for ALL scores) - Character LxX for ALL scores indicates how many spare lives you finished the game with (for example, if you finish the game with 2 spare lives, list it as
Lx2, if you finish the game with no spare lives, list it as
Lx0). BxX indicates how many bombs you have left when you clear the game. Please include this info if you can, as it is very important for your extend bonus.

Pretty neat that you get 30mil for each spare life at the end.
Did you get the staff roll?
I saw a guy at Hey get to the last boss w/ over 100,000 counter. Bullets were fucking fast as shit. Looked like Raiden Fighters Jet. He died though, and they slowed down to pretty normal levels. The guy died on stage 1 and 2 though, so it was quite a nice comeback.

Stage 3 seems like it would be a gold mine, but it's really easy to fuck up. I hate the midboss. I think my best score (including the boss) is 600 mil on stage 3.
Yeah, stage 3 is full of scoring spots, but I hate the whole section after the midboss (midboss sucks too, I agree) until the boss, as they added all these swarms of bugs from the left and right of the screen to fuck you up. I did something cool in Stage 3 the other day though (at the spot near the end of the first half of the stage, before the midboss) - I had so many multipliers on the screen that not only the On-screen-display disappeared, but also my character sprite! For over 1 second my Reco just disappeared. I thought the game was going to blow up at that point. :lol:
I unfortunately get that all the time on stage 2... and die quite a bit b/c I have no clue where I am, or those little blue bastards...and of course, I'm too stupid to start firing.

Holy crap are the bullets fast once you get 100K+ on the counter! :shock:
I got it up to 105K and it was blazing fast for the last part of ST5. Despite this, somehow I no-missed/no-bombed stages 4 and 5. I could have easily beaten the last boss without dying as well, but since I had no spare bombs left I had to suicide towards the very end of the fight to get the 30mil per life end bonus. Once again I died once in Stage 2 and once in Stage 3 in this run. :lol:
How is Palm? I've gotten used to Reco's options going off on their own. I tried him for a couple of runs but it was a disaster.
Palm is a lot easier for stages 1&2 in Maniac, I got 200+mil by the end of stage 2 with him the other day and I was just goofing around. Stage 3 is harder for me with him, however. My best (trying really hard) with Reco by the same point is like 180mil. It's really hard to be very accurate with all those orange things in Stage 2 when her options just latch onto whatever is near them. I find Palm easier to use in God Mode, but Original mode is all about Reco. Stage 5 is a lot easier with Reco across all three modes, so if I had to pick one she has the edge.
Interesting. I've found that in stage 5 (God), her options come in handy for those ass-raping lamps. If you can get an option to latch onto one thats's on one side of the screen, then go to the other side, dodging it isn't so hard.
There's a path you have to memorize in order to take out all the lamps by destroying them when you're right above them - it cancels out all the bullets and gives you gems. I have the first couple lamps down, but after that I get all messed up.

Another crappy run, but I somehow pulled a clear out of my ass. I got to the last boss with 1 spare life and 2 bombs. I managed to get through the whole third phase without any bombs for the first time. Quite nerve-racking!
I am just now getting adjusted to the difference in how Maniac mode plays - the way your counter increases rapidly when you shoot enemies (particularly large ones, but even obstacles like buildings too) at close range is very reminiscent of Mushi 1, and opens up tons of different scoring possibilities, especially in Stage 5. The problem is that it plays so differently from 1.5, so I basically have to re-learn the stages all over again.
What's the deal with everyone else? Get some more scores in! :righton:

Unfortunately this should have been at least 631 mil, I bombed in the heat of the moment with 1 second left to go on the boss, making my per-ship extend bonus only 10mil. I should have just tried to tough it out, as even if I died I would have gotten 30mil for the one spare live (more than the 20mil I got), and if I survived I'd have gotten 40mil total for both lives.
BTW if you finish with any spare lives please mention how many bombs you clear the game with, as I did above. It's very important for the extend bonus!
Very nice EOJ!Congrat's

Wow, great score! Congrats on getting to the boss as well.
QuoteWow, great score! Congrats on getting to the boss as well.
She's a cunt!
Honesly, the hardest form is the first. The last wave of bullets (first form) is way harder than Maniac, and even Ultra.. no slow down at all, and I haven't figured out how to dodge it for more than a few seconds. I pretty much need 4 bombs for that form. Second form is easiest. 3rd is tricky, but doable w/ 3-4 bombs.
I've played through the fight a few times - the first form is hard, but it's harder on Ultra. Second form is MUCH easier than Ultra as it slows down incredibly. 3rd form is also easier as they made some of the bullet patterns less dense.
I think I'd need at least 2 lives to beat it. KHD said he needed 2 spare lives for it as well.
Quotebut it's harder on Ultra
I'm talking about the last wave of the first form. Those twisty V things. I've only got the Palm video handy... He doesn't even get there b/c he bombs so much. Looking on Youtube, it's the same pattern.
Sometimes that density helps though. Slowdown is the key. Really, really easy to die at the end of one of her waves, when the slowdown amazingly stops.
I don't notice any more slowdown on the 2nd form (first wave) that's not in what I've seen of Ultra. I never make it to the 2nd wave of the send form. Hooray firepower.
The 2nd wave of the last form... I would rather it be dense. It goes too fast. I can't dodge at all... I have just sit there and bomb if I think one of the bullets is going to hit me.
With my 2nd high score (2.26 bil) I got there w/ 1 bomb and 3 remains. It was only my 3rd time to get to her though.
QuoteI don't notice any more slowdown on the 2nd form (first wave) that's not in what I've seen of Ultra.
It's really very noticeable. I've fought the Ultra boss lots of times, and in God mode it is so much easier due to how much slower those bullet streams move. It's actually quite doable without any bombs or deaths! Never been able to get through the Ultra form without bombing a couple times.
QuoteWith my 2nd high score (2.26 bil) I got there w/ 1 bomb and 3 remains. It was only my 3rd time to get to her though.
That's pretty great getting there with 3 remains. I haven't played God much but I plan to focus on it for the next couple days.
I usually do the second form pretty well. And I guess the slowdown depends on your shooting. Too many deaths b/c I quit firing, and the processor gets free. Sucks.
ANYWAY...
Had I not 1-missed up to the boss, this would taste a lot better. I'll take it though.

Sorry for the shit picture. My wife has the good camera, and the LCD on this pocket one broke, so I can't turn off the Flash. :(
well done! :shock:
Yes, excellent job. Looks like I have my work cut out for me!
The score is very beatable. I'd say I gave away an easy 300 mil on stage 5 (and a hard 500 mil). I DEFINITELY gave away an easy 300-400 on stage 3. Even though I didn't maximize, stage 2 was a pretty solid run.
Going to dick around w/ the other modes. Maniac feels really cheesy in comparison. I don't like that they cut down the bullet count.
What do you usually end Stage 2 with? I've been getting 1.1~1.2 billion lately, which I think is pretty good (about 300mil on stage 1 with these scores).
Maniac mode is great, give it some time (you can still get the on screen display to disappear if you trigger the multiplier at the right time, but it's a lot harder than in 1.5). I like the Death Smiles aspect of how carrying over your multiplier to the start of a new stage can really pay off. I do that for the start of Stage 2 (hint, hint).
Best score *after* stage 2 boss, w/ bonus and everything was probably 1 billion w/ 25k or so in gold... means you can jack that second plant for a 150 mil if you have ninja timing (which I don't). On that note, my best up before the boss is about 950 mil. I generally screw up somehow on him. I finally have some confidence to no-bomb him though. His 2nd form 2nd wave sucks... starting in the top corner is the key!

QuoteI don't think you'll ever see that score change. Definitely not feeling Maniac... at all.
Too bad. :( If you play it like 1.5, it's not too fun. You really have to approach it in a whole new way, due to the way your counter increases with the C shot like in Mushi 1, and the ability to approach the bosses differently. For example, I trigger the x9999 multiplier on the first form of the ST1 boss, then use the second form to get the gold up to x8000-x9000 for the start of Stage 2, which I use for a huge 40-50mil scoring spot, giving me 80-90mil right after the start of the stage (and 215+Mil by the end of the stage). There's all sorts of stuff like that in Maniac, it really requires a lot of planning and rethinking of the levels, especially if you're used to 1.5.
1.5 is definitely not fresh in my head. If anything, I play it more like God mode, which playing exclusively first is probably what ruined it. Basically, I don't think they should've made Maniac any easier, and as stated before, I don't really care for the sped up bosses. It's also hard to recalibrate w/ the (effectively) larger hitbox.
I gave Original a go and enjoyed it. Got to the last boss last night, but w/ no remains. Need to work out a few jackass deaths and I'll do good. That thing is all about getting to the last boss w/o bombing.
Well every mode is easier in BL (if you count God as an easier Ultra), due in large part to how strong your character is. Some of the bosses are harder though, even though they're sped up. The first form of the stage 2 boss is a pain in the ass in Maniac unless you bomb.
Have fun with Original mode. It's certainly the most rush-inducing of the three.
My God mode practice continues. I ended stage 2 with 1.25bil today once. My Stage 2 pattern is pretty solid. Too bad I keep messing everything up in Stage 3.

Ended my game at the exact same spot as last time. The 2 bil score feels good though! Maybe if I didn't lose 3 lives in Stage 3 I'd have a better chance. :/ On the upside Stage 4 is rather easy to do in comparison, I can often get through it without dying or bombing.
Yeah. Stage 4 is easier than Stage 3 across the board: scoring, surviving, midboss, boss. The hardest part is the first caterpillar. Sometimes hard to guage how much damage he has and then you have to bomb or die.
Fuck me. I cleared Original w/ 2 extra lives, but that damn no bomb penalty/bug thing. Such assness. :/
QuoteFuck me. I cleared Original w/ 2 extra lives, but that damn no bomb penalty/bug thing. :?
It's not a bug! I keep reading people on 2ch calling this a bug and it isn't. I've thoroughly tested it out, beating the game with 0,1,2 and 3 bombs in stock. I got 0, 10mil, 20mil, and 30mil per spare life, respectively. Same in both Original and Maniac (and I'd presume God mode as well).
If you have two lives and no bombs you have to suicide at the end. It'll give you an easy 30mil for that one spare life.
I thought you were supposed to get a bonus per bomb on top o the 30 mil per life.
You still get the bonus per bomb, same as any other stage (500K per bomb, or whatever). Your clear bonus is calculated by the formula 10mil x Xlives x Xbombs. So if you have 0 bombs then the result of the formula is 0 points. There are some interesting aspects of this formula, for example it's more beneficial to suicide if you have 5 lives and 2 bombs as 4 lives and 3 bombs gives you 120 mil while 5 lives/2 bombs only gives you 100mil. Likewise you should suicide with 4 lives and 2 bombs (80mil clear bonus) as 3 lives/3bombs (90mil) is better.
The upside to this is that the maximum clear bonus is 300mil (10mil x 5 lives x 6 bombs). That's pretty substantial. Definitely possible in Maniac mode, but probably ridiculously hard in Original due to the crazy rank you'd have to face on the last boss.
QuoteThe first form of the stage 2 boss is a pain in the ass in Maniac unless you bomb.
.
I assume you're talking about his second wave right?
Yeah, first form second wave.
Haven't figured that one out yet either.
You know, if I could figure out how to do the stage 3 boss w/o dying twice all the fucking time I'd get a decent original score. I'm over multipliers that last the whole game. So late 90's.
i also have the biggest problem on stage 3....2nd half of the stage and boss :mad:

Stage 4: 492mil
No miss up to the second half of stage 5.
Was very close to 700 mil on this run! That last bomb I used on the boss cost me 20 mil, which would have pushed me over. Oh well. I only missed a couple scoring spots in my current strats on this run, so maybe 30-40mil off my theoretical max (exclusive of clear bonus) with my current strats.
Anyway Maniac mode is officially my fave BL mode. Totally brilliant and addictive, and more fun to score in than 1.5's Maniac. Though I'm curious how high scores can be pushed on this. I'm sure 1+bil is possible, though how much of that will consist of a high (or 300mil max) clear bonus?
What's the clear bonus in Maniac? I'm not going to bother until I get 3 bil in God. I've been doing excellent up to the stage 2 boss, or often stage 3, and then it just goes to shit.
The Clear bonus in Maniac is the same as in the other modes (10mil x XLives x Xbombs). Mine was 40mil total in my 693mil run.

I'll play it from march when I'll arrive in Japan :D
Eoj did you by the pcb?
:lol:
Yes, I bought the PCB at release. Everyone posting scores in this thread bought the PCB.
I gave the scoreboard a new high quality upgrade. What do you think?
God Mode (Reco)
GaijinPunch - 2,783,649,870 - ALL (Lx0, Bx1)Probably could've made this a 3 bil. Screwed up in unfortunately some key parts. My wife barging in and insisting to repeat 3 times that I got a letter in the mail (big fucking deal) didn't help. That was stage 5. :( The fact that I went 0/5 on stage 1 just prior to this (this was my 6th and last try of the day), is somewhat shocking.
QuoteI gave the scoreboard a new high quality upgrade. What do you think?
Cool, but it will be a pain in the ass for you. There is a phpbb tables mod out there somewhere. It might be easier. I should install it at gamengai, as a matter of fact.

Scores updated. Next update will be next weekend, and will continue once every week (usually on the weekends) after that.
I just screwed up a great chance to beat my Maniac mode score. I had a run with the following end of stage scores:
ST1: 58mil
ST2: 299mil (!!!!)
ST3: 415mil
ST4: 518mil
No miss up to the middle of ST5. I got to the last boss with 665mil (screwed up the last dragon at the end, costing me at least 10mil), 4 lives, and 4 bombs.
I cleared it with 1 life and 2 bombs remaining, and a score of 691mil. :mad:
QuoteI just screwed up a great chance to beat my Maniac mode score.
Well, I got a 2.93 billion God Mode clear. Of course I couldn't get another measley 70,000 points.
After some credits on original mode to improve the stage 1,i try my chance in god mode to get the bilion!Mission accomplished! :D

I keep cocking up all my good runs. My new thing is turning Stage 2 and 3 into a complete fist fucking.
Not getting a 3 bil clear will give me reason enough to fire it up again in a few months.
So:
God Mode (Reco)
GaijinPunch - 2,950,881,788 - Stage 5 (Boss)
Yeah, Stage 3 is the killer in the game. I haven't really learned how to do a good, safe Stage 5 yet either. Then again I haven't played the game
much over the past couple weeks. Been mostly Ibara Kuro and MMP.
Anyway, nice job on the score! Do you want me to put that one up, or your 2.93 bil ALL?
Put this one up. It's higher, and it will motivate me to try break it a bit later. Just need a break for now, as I've played this solid for 6 weeks. Since my new monitor has no speakers and no audio jacks off the of the RGB cable yet, I'll probably bust out my Dreamast (VGA box taps the sound). I never cleared Shikigami no Shiro II, so I might try that. There's a stack of console games I want to play as well. :)
As for a safe Stage 5: I find it to be pretty easy except for the lamps at the first... I have to bomb for one of them. The mid-boss can be tricky, so I try to have at least one bomb there. The rest is a breeze though (comparatively -- even easier than stage 4). You have to anticipate the lamps. Once you figure out where they are, you're good.

Finally got past the hundred million mark and well into stage 5! Going for my first ever 1CC now and really confidant I can do it. This score is shitty compared to the rest of you but I'm still proud of it! I don't have the PCB, I have to trek into the arcade in town to play it, but I still manage to squeeze one or two credits a week in.
Nice improvement, and good luck on the 1CC. I'm sure you'll get it soon.

Scores at the end of each stage:
ST1: 68mil
ST2: 310mil
ST3: 445mil
ST4: 552mil
No miss up until the end of Stage 5. All in all I am very satisfied with this - pretty much maxed out my current stage strats on this run with very few mistakes, though I missed 20-25mil on Stage 2 (on the run just before this one I ended stage 2 with 335mil). Just have to relax on the last boss so I don't lose lives needlessly - had a stupid death towards the end that cost me 30mil (and inches away from 800mil).:/
Now the quest for 800+mil begins. :D

Ended my credit at the second half of the ST5 midboss fight, but that's not too bad considering I got to Stage 5 with no lives and no bombs left, and somehow danced through that lantern section in the beginning without a scratch. Too bad my Stage 4 was horrendous, with next to no points and deaths left and right.

You'll be ready for it next time. Wait until you have to get it in God Mode w/ all those lamps that shoot shit back at you.
It's easier to get in God mode, as you just use the bottom lantern right before it for a bullet cancel, and cruise on over to pick it up. It's easy to get nailed by a fast bullet from the Bomb-carrier right before the 1UP in Original mode. It's happened to me more than once, and is always followed by a loud &%#$.
I've only played through original a couple of times.
The trick in God is actually hitting the lamp w/o the other stuff shooting you, or of course the not being lined up properly w/ the lamp. The scroll speed isn't exactly slow.
I've never had any problems with it in God, in fact it's ridiculously easy. Too bad I've yet to get there on a credit yet, so it's a rather moot point for now.:/
Is there any maniac replay somewhere?
I'm definitely back on it since MMP hate me :(
There's one on zakk's website if you checked out the thread started by him in another forum on this site, but don't expect a superplay performance, though.

A death in stage 2 (LOL), then I no missed stages 3 and 4, a death towards the end of stage 5 (though note I got through the first half of the stage + the midboss with no bombs), got to Larsa with 3 lives and 3 bombs, and took her down. :D
Congrats. Going to go for more score?
Thanks. It sorta came out of the blue. Only played 2 credits today, haven't played it for a number of days, and boom, I'm at the last boss with 3 lives left. Got through the first phase of the boss with only 3 bombs, even somehow dodged that nasty pattern at the end. I could have finished with a spare life actually, but I suicided at the end as I had no bombs left, so the spare life was worthless - I'd rather have the small bomb bonus from the 3 bombs after the suicide.
I'd like to break 3bil, but for the time being I don't see myself playing it too much. I'm more interested in Maniac mode. I'd like to get a 900+mil score there.
I like God mode a lot, but Maniac is the real jewel on the PCB, as far as I am concerned.

Yeah, I've been playing well lately, getting a lot of new high scores, which is always nice. I have more time to play in the summer, as all I'm doing is writing my PhD dissertation every day. So I take frequent "gaming breaks" (and beach breaks of course!). My next target will probably be MMP.

Yeah, I come in with about 7000-8000 on the counter and score on the first phase, then jack it up to 9999 on the second phase (you have to go through the "loop" once), and score on the last phase. In this last run I got to the boss with about 240mil, then got around 20mil on the first phase, and 50mil on the last phase.
Stage 2 has a lot of points, but like ver 1.5 it takes a lot of precision to score well. I basically copied the tactics from the 1bil Reco video on nico douga, so I'd suggest you study that guy's patterns, and try and score where he scores. I missed around 40-50mil in points.
Stage 3 is my favorite, it has a ton of points, and it's so fun to fill the screen with bullets from those bug nests (rapidly tap C on the nests for a few seconds to increase the amount of bullets), then trigger the multiplier at the last second for huge points (50+mil on each nest, if you do it right). Also, maniac's stage 3 is a lot better than God mode's stage 3, IMO.
QuoteI have more time to play in the summer, as all I'm doing is writing my PhD dissertation every day.
Hey that's cool. May I ask what it's about? Probably some linguistic topic, considering all the syntax and morphology books on your poster sale pics.;) (I'm also studying linguistics btw!)
Sent you a PM, Plasmo.:)
Yeah,stage 2 required a lot of skills to score.It's funny because,i think it's much better to score with Palm(due to his straight shot) at some stage parts and i made practicly the same score as Reco,497M and some.
But hey,i think i'm the kind of guy who bomb when he's panic or think is it better to bomb than lost a life:P

Got to the last phase of the last boss, but couldn't pull out the clear. I only had 1 spare life going into the fight, and I need 2 to clear it. Two dumb deaths on the stage 4 boss (of all places) cost me. Oh well!
Nice one. So painful w/o the clear, but it still counts.
I hate the end bonus and basically zero scoring (unless you're a ninja) on the last boss.
BTW, the high score at Hey is over 4 bil. No fucking clue how they did that.
What about TAC and NAL getting over 5 bil? That's really mind-boggling. I can see how 4 bil could be pushed out. There's a ton of points on stage 4 I'm missing, for example. But 5 bil is a stretch, even for the imagination.

What are the big differences in playing w/ Palm (other than the obvious... namely the speed, which kills it for me). Might try him one day.
I like Palm a lot better now in God. He has much better accuracy, which makes scoring easier in many spots. The second half of stage 3 is a lot harder with him,
as is stage 4. Once you get used to his speed, it really becomes quite a lot of fun (especially stage 2).
There's quite a few parts in the game (stage 2 and 4 specifically) where Reco comes in handy. Get the options to latch on, then haul ass across the screen. Good times.
Small improve in God Mode.

Anyone ever figured out the multiplier? I know w/ the stage multiplier at 9999, the rank goes up like... 2 fold, at least. What about the score? I think the overall multiplier at 100,000 is another "milestone". Seems to really jack up the difficulty. The end of stage 5 is just nuts, I always have to bomb. I wonder how many points I'm giving up.

The rank goes up again once you get over 100,000. ABI figured out the multiplier level at each stage of the counter. I'd have to search through his blog to find the post. You definitely shouldn't bomb anywhere in any stage (it's better to die actually), as it kills your stage counter, which in turn kills your multiplier.
I played Original a few times today, and I discovered I really don't enjoy that mode much anymore (well, I never liked it that much to begin with). Futari 1.5's Original is much more enjoyable, IMO. If someone beats my score, I'll likely go back to it to reclaim 1st place, but until then I'm playing other things!

I think that's not cool when they make a scoring system where you can't bomb at all anywhere. Of course it's necessary to give the player a consequent point penalty when he bomb, but at the same time it's never good to encourage death over bombing, or to make the score drop by a LOT if the player either bombs or dies once, because bombing at the last second is a cool skill to master and the player should be rewarded of not having died.
Well, in a way what that does is give more lives to the beginning player who doesn't care about score, since they can use bombs, but when you're trying to maximize score you have fewer chances to mess up.
Still, deaths mess your score up anyway.... it's a risk vs reward system, with more risk when you die but less penalty.

Finally joined the 400m club. Won't be happy until clear + 500 mil though.

Died right before the 1up. Easily would've been 500+, probably not a 1cc though.

Only posting this because it puts me at #2. Sorry I didn't put in my name, was way too pissed at dying on last phase of stage 5 boss despite having an awesome run.
I made it up to Stage 4 boss no-miss, dying on his second form twice like a dumbass. Made it through level 5 without dying but got to the boss with 1 bomb. Could've killed the damn thing if I just straight bombed through it I'm pretty sure. Ugh, but I had to try dodging. :whyioughtta:
TUG I'm sure feels my pain because his score is very similar. I think Reco is way easier to beat this game with (on the whole).

I have done the same =D
Funny but i have also a 497M with Reco.Yeah is a bit easier because you can be save by her options but even if i manage same score with both charactere,i do a better second stage with Palm due to his straight shot.
Anyway well done but is it so frustrating to be at 1M(or 3M for me) to 500M goal hu?
Yes it is :'(
I think I'm going to move on to Ketsui for the moment and hopefully get my 500m some other time. If not, I might just have to say fuck it because no missing up to stage 4 boss is pretty close to the best I'm gonna do lol.
Palm in Maniac can certainly score more accurately on stage 2 but I have to say he has no advantage in stage 3, and stage 4 he is much harder to score with. Reason being he cannot lock an option onto those towers with the huge danmakus and then build up a lot of bullets to cash in. If the tower is on the left for instance, you have to either dodge in from the right as the bullets build or just kill the tower much earlier than you would with Reco since his shot is straight ahead. Stage 5 is tough because of the medium-sized dragons that shoot the diagonal bullet spreads, which Reco's options can kill much quicker and easier.
Edit: One advantage Palm allegedly has is that his laser produces more slow-down. But it doesn't seem to be a lot more than Reco.
I think you're right that Palm is a bit harder to score with in Stage 4 (and 3) than Reco.
Stage 5 they're about the same. It's easier to properly "chain" all the lamps in the first part of the Stage with Palm, and the midboss is also a LOT easier with Palm, but the rest is about the same IMO.
I like Reco's slower speed and her ability to get the counter up faster on bosses and large enemies. The latter feature helps her score a bit more overall than Palm.
I haven't played much with Palm in Maniac (I have a 660+mil score from ages ago, but that was after about a dozen credits with him, and I didn't try all that hard), but I've been using him more in God and enjoying it a lot.
I'm personally a bit disappointed by Maniac's stage 4. Doesn't have the scoring possibilities of Original or God, no matter how long you let the Caterpillars stick around. Even SIN's replay IIRC he only nets 200 mil or so and that's with some smart boss milking, which I'm not successful at. And yeah, I know God has a kick-ass stage 4 but...stage 1 on God is just too brutal for me. Stage 2 and 3 I can handle, I've even made it to stage 4...but slowdown-less Stage 1 is just :-\.
BTW, EOJ are you able to reliably do the balls trick on the stage 2 boss (no homo)?
Yeah, the "balls" recharge on the stage 2 boss is pretty easy in Maniac. It's a lot easier than in ver 1.5.
Just kill the first phase really fast, then on the second phase, don't shoot at all until it starts the dense, slow purple pattern (after you destroy the first set of balls that come out). Stay in the right corner when it starts, and slowly move (=tap) to the left while you hold down the laser. Then keep shooting til its life is a sliver, and recharge on the second set of balls for a x9999 to use in the final phase of the boss. Piece o'cake.
I can understand your reluctance to play God, at least in the arcade. It would cost a lot more to get good at God than at Maniac.
Stage 1 is pretty easy! Just takes some practice.

Similar run to yesterday I just waited a bit longer on the dragons in stage 5. Died stupidly in stage 2 but for some reason kept playing. Made it to last boss phase but ran out of bombs before the nearly undodgable "diagonal opening" danmaku. Blah. Dunno if I would've made it even with a bomb though.
Well done!I should play more shmup,all my pcb are useless,i spend to many times at SF4 :p
:)
You should jump back in man. This game totally beats SFIV in the fun department, especially when you're playing against Gief. :'(
Or Sagat.

I can't!I'm deeply into SF IV.I'm watching a lot of Tournament (TRF tournament) playing a lot with friends,i even don't play my other games those last few weeks(Mamoru-kun,DS,Bazeblue) i'm addict to my Honda.
A few casual play during my summer holiday, god mode is nice and quite fun for scoring. I wish I had this pcb for this mode :P

Sick scores HUU! I bet you could cross 1 bil in original if you put the time into it.
Too bad you didn't suicide at the end of the Stage 5 boss fight in that Original mode score, you would have had about 620mil as your final score. A no miss isn't worth anything in Original if you don't have any bombs left.
A lot of people could get 1bil in Original "if they put the time into it".
Rough day?
Well that's encouraging.

I haven't played god mode yet, but stage 1 looks like cake compared to ultra. The rocks don't shoot bullets when you blow them up and the islands shoot less than on ultra correct? I think I've only gotten to the stage 1 boss without bombing once out of xxx tries on ultra and believe I could no bomb stage one on god in 1-2 tries only.
All you have to do is learn where the islands spawn and kill them before they can shoot and you should be good to go =].

With practice on a 360, this is of course true and this is one of the nice things about having it at home.
But in the arcade it seemed too random to justify 50 yen each time which is why I preferred Maniac.
Amazing scores HUU :)
After seeing the Dbs's superplay I have found the 1.5BL original mode milking very difficult :-[

Thanks :righton:
those scores are kind of old now ! :P
I also think original BL is difficult, especially milking mid boss ... large ennemies ..
(by the way... my scores never got updated on the score board :whyioughtta:)
Shitty score, but almost got the ALL:

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that this is the most welcoming community of players I've been involved in. You guys are way better than me, but you've never made me feel like a complete scrub ( although I know I am nowhere near my real potential ). I have a lot of respect for all of you, considering the fact that I only got into Cave's games about a year ago. You've made a noob feel at home. Eventually, I'll really be able to challenge your scores. Not ready yet...but I'll get there. Again, thanks. I love these games I am damn happy to be part of this community.

wtf! died at the 2nd form of larsa with one bomb in stock and she had a millimeter lifebar left. (stupid bitch)
want to save that last bomb for her 3rd form.
also lost a life with 3 bombs in stock after the 1up at stage 5. (without that it would be a clear)

Like always, some very stupid and some cheap deaths with a few bombs on stock (this happened mostly on Larsa on both my original and maniac runs). I guess I'm happy with the original score; that's first time I broke into 100k+ counter, 2 times even. I definitely see I can improve it some more.

The 1bil barrier has finally been broken! :righton: #15 on the xbox live rankings.
Damn, that was short hahah.
Nicely done, man, I watched your replay and you did a nice job surviving the later stages with the crazy rank.
All I need to do is have some luck and take no more than miss through the whole run and I should be there sometime. It's so easy to screw up from stage 4 and onwards with the 100k+ counter rank.
