Cheers for starting this thread. Let's see if MrMonkeyMan posts some scores (he's a member here). :righton:
This is the first time I've been in a top 10 for something :lol:
When the forum gets a bit more busy I'm sure I'll be pushed out though :righton:
Could you please delete my score?
Ive only played ketsui for one day in london. its very unlikely that ill ever get the pcb cause i dont like the game that much...

@MMM
let me know if you want me to start a tabel for the ura loop.
Like Plasmo I have only played this for one day in London. The difference is I fecking loved it. Here's my shit score, just to help pad out the table:
RGC - 37,138,941 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert
Think I'd consider investing in the PCB should the price drop below $650
It may happen...
You should buy it, even at $1000. Too good to pass up.
Working on a high score...
Here is mine:
KAB - 175,378,642 - 1-ALL - Tiger Schwert
wow great score for 1st loop only.
awesome! :righton:
Thanks CRI, I will now concentrate on accessing to the second loop (Tsuujou Loop of course and maybe one day Ura Loop who knows :D. I've always wanted to fight DOOM ).
no new score but finally made the loop.
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9869/scoreketsui2ndloophr8.jpg)
:) :D :twisted:
played the 1st loop in this run completely without bombs.
made it to the 2nd loop with 3 bombs and 0 lifes left.
was to nervos and died already at the 2-1 boss.
two deaths at stage 1-3 and one at stage 1-4.
thats why the score is a little bit low.
but i'm very happy that i finally made the loop. :D
CAL - 53,276,491 - 1-4 - Panzer Jager
this is my current best. i'll be getting back to it when its time for MMP to go.
JMZ - 43,944,480 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert
Whoa, I never knew MrMonkeyMan was such a monster at Ketsui. I used to bum around on his Treasure forums a few years back. Crazy small world, the internets.
Just started playing Ketsui for score and I'm quite surprised at the amount of depth that this adds to the game. It also makes it one of the more demanding Cave titles, in my opinion, attention-wise with the relative bullet speed and density right from the get-go combined with the various scoring details. Maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, but the controls feel a bit 'floaty' at times, as I often died during large bullet storms when my ship would somehow slide into an oncoming bullet when I could have sworn I stopped a few pixels short. Who can say.
Anyways, it's a weak showing, but:
gsl - 19,558,448 - 1-2 - Tiger Schwert
CRI - 171,518,362 - 2-3 - Panzer Jager
(http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/9980/scoreketsuivd7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
lost my last life after the stage 2-3 midboss with 3 bombs left.
need more practise in the 2nd loop.

I'm posting a score here, even though it is low for what I wanted to hit this table with. I'm hoping this will motivate me to keep this one in the cab and practice regularly. It can certainly be brutal at times, but I think that's why I love it. My brutal mistress, Ketsui.

drboom - 40,872,987 - 1-3 - Panzer Jager
Not that big a bump (doesn't change my place in the table), but worth putting new score up.

New score, actually moves me up two places in the thread:

lowemark - 50,704,513 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert
(http://www.lowemark.com/HighScores/Kestui/ketsui_50704513.jpg)
I love this game.
drboom - 51,953,613 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert
Pushing far into stage 4, but not really getting much out of the scoring. It's definately more about survival. This is the first time I have broke 50 mil, so I'm about 1/2 of my summer goal for the 100+ mil clear.

Well, this is about a month old, which is a ura loop score.
ABC-P.F - 397,914,187 - ALL - Tiger Schwert
finish the first loop with 224mil+ score.
one miss each at 2-2 and 2-3, no miss through 2-4, and destroyed DOOM with 1 ship left.

That link doesn't work. Once you post a working link, we can proceed to say "WTF you're awesome".
You're from Korea, right?
Right, I'm from South Korea.
I should link the picture from photobucket or somewhere else......
OK, I got the image to show. You have to click on it, then refresh the page for it to work.
Great score, and congratulations on getting the #1 spot with an Ura loop ALL. :righton:
Maybe this will bring Mrmonkeyman out of retirement?
I have been noticing that MMM is working on DDF-DFK, and he is a great player.
He will probably play this again soon, after clearing the DFK's tsuujou loop IMHO.
His first loop play is better than mine, so he might retake the #1 soon.

I don't think I will be clearing the Ura loop anytime soon (ever). I've only made it to the Ura loop 6 or 7 times. I always end up dying, or bombing somewhere.
omg ! MrMonkeyMan's score was beaten, and in Ura ! @_@ !
Most impressive ABC-P.F ~! South Korea... Do you play Starcraft ? :p
Quote from: PROMETHEUS on September 13, 2008, 05:47:41 AM
Do you play Starcraft ? :p
I used to play starcraft sometimes. I was poor at normal games, so I usually played "use map settings" games. There are many interesting maps were created in Korea.
But now I have never been playing it for months, because I lose interests.
Anyway, I'm working on the 230mil+ score in first loop and 420mil+ at the end.
Does the ketsui pcb save scores? My scores are erased every time I power down, is it just a save score battery that needs replacing? If so is there anything I have to be careful of if I switch it? Don't want to kill a $900 pcb, lol.
Also, for those capable of reaching the 2nd loop, will the game allow you to access it directly? Is there a code you can input to get there like mmp? My pitiful score is around 28 million 1-3 with purple ship. Irks me a little, because my friend Jeremy is at 50 million at the end of stage 4 boss and he's only played the game mebbe 10 times. I must have pumped in at least 500 credits *sigh*
Thanks,
droid
No, it doesn't save scores. And no, there's no way to access the second loop other than to get there after the first loop.
Just putting up a newbie score to start recording my progress... :P

Got this game again in a trade the other day, put in about 5 credits and pulled out a 1-ALL clear after not playing it in about 2 months. Awesome. :righton:
You can replace my slightly higher score with this one. I'd rather have this first loop clear score up there. Thanks.

Too bad the game doesn't say "1-ALL" when you clear the first loop. But I guess in the grand scheme of things, a 1-ALL doesn't mean much in this game (just like in the Pachi games).
Proof positive that Ketsui DS helps your arcade game. :righton:
Congrats EOJ!
Thanks, but I doubt Ketsui DS has anything to do with it (haven't played it in weeks, and I've only played about 6 hours total on it).
I think it has more to do with playing a lot of Futari 1.0 Maniac. That game has a similar difficulty to Ketsui's first loop, but with 2 less bomb carriers, 1 less life, and a harder end boss.
How'd you do on stage 5 of that run? Lots of bombs? I find its really, really hard if you don't bomb intelligently. I'd love to think that I could pass it without bombing, but that's a level of difficulty I'm not ready for yet.
I got another clear and broke 100mil, and that's good enough for me. So I think I'm done with this game now.
EOJ - 102,118,231 - 1-ALL - Tiger Schwert
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r283/blueskied/ketsui_1ALL_102mil.jpg)
No miss up until the last phase of the stage 4 boss. Bombed my way through a lot of stage 5, as usual.
played a couple of credits today and made it to stage 5 for the first time :)

Just getting started.
Hey - pretty good starting score! You should be able to get a good 15-20 mil more with just a bit of practice. For my runs, I can hit ~65 mil through stage 4 with just some basic basic strategies. Although, I'm not exactly the world's premier Ketsui player anyways, so I'm sure you can do much better than me...
Futari Maniac did a lot to prepare me for Ketsui. Not just the bullets but the scoring as well. It doesn't strike me as anywhere near as hard as DOJ, but if the second loop is considered integral to the game then I've got a long way to go. Ketsui is a direct and to-the-point game and it'll probably keep me hooked for a bit.
Futari Maniac's scoring derives from Ketsui, you know.
Or at least, in 1.5 it does. I don't have BL.
QuoteIt doesn't strike me as anywhere near as hard as DOJ,
Try scoring a bit more. Point-blanking stuff gets risky (and frustrating). I never really saw the Futari->Ketsui connection as much as the ESPGaluda 2 -> Ketsui one. In Futari, you get a lot more room to be far away and then rush the enemy when they spurt more out. In the other two, it's your proximity when you kill them that counts. That and you're only trying to be in close proximity part of the time.
Scored 67 mil and counting but fucking alpha station's scores are so high that I wasn't able to enter and see my final score lol. :whyioughtta:
Stage 5, blah. I'll try to register a real score this weekend.
At alpha station you can meet Tolle a realy good Death Smiles player ;)

I've just starting seriously playing for scoring this past week. I've owned the game in the past, but I was really just playing for a 1-ALL before, not focused on scoring. Now that I'm actively learning the stages (thank you, practice mode!) I'm enjoying it much more, and I expect my score to rise rapidly. The first loop is pretty easy to 1CC, and I can consistently no miss until Stage 5 now, so I just have to learn some parts of stage 5, learn to not bomb in a few spots in the earlier stages, and practice the stage 5 boss a bit, and then I should hopefully see the Omote loop soon. :righton:
I don't really know what I'm doing but this is my best after two evenings with the game.

#5 on the leaderboards. No-missing is worth a hell of a lot in this game.
I suicided just before the stage 5 boss in the hopes that it wouldn't show up in its 2nd loop form. Unfortunately this failed and the boss proceeded to rape me hard. Bombed the shit out of it and scraped through DOOM with no lives or bombs left.
damn it i was playing the last 2 days trying to get +500m to give you a better goal and now this.
how should i catch up.... gotta have to try that no miss too.
You'll have a while to catch up, I think it'll be a long time before I'm able to beat or even match this.
I'm going to post this here so I can complain about it some more.

I don't believe it's possible to score more than 900 million points. Even if I could beat the game without dying I would only get around 830 million. There's not a whole lot of room for improvement on bosses since you always get to them with a maxed out multiplier. Anymore points would have to come from the stages themselves and I don't think the points are there.
We need a pro player to come in and beat the game without dying to show us what's really possible.
Is it just me, or is the replay for MrMonkeyMan's high score broken? There is a death a bit into the "tunnel" part of stage five and then shortly after lots of deaths.
I just downloaded and gave it a try. Worked perfectly for me. Have you tried downloading it again?
I will try that. Thanks.
JOR - 111,597,722 - 5-1 - Tiger-Schwert (360/Arcade mode)
Second time I've reached the 5-1 boss. Nerves got me in the end.

My score from when I'd borrowed the board about a year ago:
AVE - 131,419,616 - 1-ALL - Tiger-Schwert (PCB)

If I only still had it :righton:
Went to a shmup meet in Hamburg, Germany and this is the result:

JOR - 112,623,319 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert
Still no 1CC though. Also, the PCB is a bit easier in lots of places than the port.

Sapz - 126,712,054 - 2-3 - Tiger Schwert
Finally had a run where I didn't make mistakes everywhere on the first loop, and got into Tsuujou with a few lives to spare. =D Getting any further than that probably isn't going to happen for a while though, still pretty inconsistent at 1-5 and some parts of 1-4.
Damn you guys, looping the game left and right. :righton:
I just got to the stage 4 boss for the first time. Now, I gotta stop dying like a fucktard all over stage 4, and I might make it to the last stage.

Small improvement; might have been a much bigger one if I hadn't gone brain-dead for a few minutes and died three times to the fifth boss. :rolleyes: Still, it's nice to finally be looping with a degree of consistency.

drunkninja - 54,866,404 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert
I've made it to Stage 5, bu that's still my highest score. Gotta work on not dying like a retard early on so I have some lives to get me through later.
That's a respectable score, I've only managed 36 mill, need to play more :)

Just got back to this after a few months off and remembered that it's one of the few video games that makes me angry in a good way - it makes may want to blast the shit out all those aggressive little fuckers as opposed to chucking my stick through the window :righton:

Beat my old score and got the furthest into the game I ever have (just about to the end of the tunnel section of Stage 5):
drunkninja - 62,670,923 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert
MAME (arcade)
Despatche - 21,676,690 - 1-3 - Tiger Schwert
Here's the first MAME score, if you accept this sort of thing. This is also my first time playing; the long-lived hype does not lie.
sure i also accept mame scores.
but i will now limit the table to 30 places.
Do you think the MAME scores should be marked somehow, or does it really run 100% perfectly?
I don't think they need to be marked. I've played Ketsui only on PCB before and I don't notice any differences now that I came back to it on MAME.
Not sure. Those who worked to get it into MAME testify that the game itself is identical, but the sound emulation is off. Same for DOJ/BL, and Espgaluda should follow.
If you will mark MAME scores, tildes look pretty good. :righton:
Well yes, the sound is pretty buggy. But that doesn't really affect the scoring, not that this game at least.

FINALLY got the 1CC, feels awesome =D Now to work on getting to the loop...

Also put it on Youtube:

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb_CGDepISI
really sorry for the late reply but i guess the questions ask have already been answered.
i don't think mame scores should be marked unless the game dosn't run at 100% speed or if enough people ask for it.
and for the cheating part we always can ask for inp or xbox live replays for scores over 200mill.
but i don't want to make it a requirement for this thread because people that play on the pcb can't record replays that easily.
A new score after getting the pcb again, set at the meet. Wasted two lives right at the beginning of stage 4, still working on the clear, trying to get some patterns together for stage 5.

Hey Dr.Boom we can be Ketsui training buddies. I just got my Ketsui PCB too!
Here's my best score so far on the PCB. Stage 4 is still kicking my ass but I'm starting to get better scores than I was in MAME pretty consistently.
Tiger Schwert - Stage 4 - 54,873,544

Hey - good news man! Glad you copped one. Stellar game. :righton:
I'm working for the clear, but I need way better patterns (read: any patterns whatsoever) in stage 5. Good luck as you progress. I found reading through the shmups Ketsui high score chat pretty inspiring if you need inspiration.
New high score for me. Made it to Stage 4 boss finally.
BIT - Tiger Schwert - 59,311,075 - Stage 4 Boss

Well done sir!!! :)
For me, stage 4 is a very high wall that cannot be climbed!!! :'(
I will go back to Ketsui at some point but i am a bit into pork at the moment!! :righton:
Thanks! I decided I would start trying to incorporate some places to bomb during the patterns I usually have problems with. I particularly have problems with the cris-cross blue lines pattern from Stage 4 Boss, and also the final spray pattern from the Stage 4 mid boss (big blue balls with tiny long shots in between). Using the bombs helped to get me further than ever before. Unfortunately Stage 4 boss kicked my ass at the end.
Been working with the Panzer, really liking it now that I'm giving it time. Broke my old high score by over 10mil, and I didn't even get the 1CC! (Though I came damn close, just a sliver of health on the last boss)

Threw a few more credits at this yesterday:

(please remember to remove Sapz for SPZ, thanks!)
EDIT: Better score below.
Revised stages 1-2 to 1-4, and suddenly a huge improvement!
X360 Arcade
SPZ - 203,164,950 - 2-4 - Tiger Schwert
The highlight of the run by a long way was stage 2-3. I entered the stage with 0 lives and 1 bomb remaining, and cleared it with a spare life. :laugh: Needless to say, 2-4 wrecked me, but I'm happy to make it there for the first time and break 200m.
Will upload this replay to YouTube next week when I get access to my video recording stuff again.
EDIT: Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--MsRpmd_QI) it is.
Alright, new high score!
