Alright, got my PAL version for 360 and have been playing a little over a week now. Not very good scores, but maybe posting these will motivate me a little more to improve them. I guess my B/Strong 1.5 score is pointless since it won't make the top 10...

360 - 1.5
Anesthetize - 3,649,069,507 - 1-5 Boss - C/Strong

360 - 1.5
Anesthetize - 3,016,853,098 - 1-ALL - B/Strong

360 - 1.5 Novice
Anesthetize - 40,698,263,017 - 2-ALL (Omote) - B/Strong

Arrange A
Anesthetize - 24,471,509,380 - 1-4 Boss

It's a WIP score, but why not add it.
Arrange B:
Korszca - Stage 1 - 11,354,836

Updated! Good to see new names on the board. :)

360- Novice
Enigma- 12,155,979,116- 1-5- B-Power

Absolutely screwed that up.

360- Novice
Enigma- 32,900,193,215- Omote(sadly) 2-all- B-Bomb

So you don't get the 10,000 chain and bomb style clear achievements on Novice.

Arrange A
Enigma- 218,685,358,336- 1-5

I need to stop sucking on a mode that should be easy, until laser wheels at least.

Edit: Arrange A
Enigma- 241,295,370,361- 1-5

Why? Just Why? No miss no bomb to stage 3 boss, then autobombed on its easiest attack. Then I lost 5 lives on stage 4. Then game overed before the first midboss of stage 5. It's bad enough that I almost never get a no miss no bomb into stage 3 thanks to the stage 2 second half and the stage 2 boss.

360-1.5
Enigma- 4,010,930,691- 1-5 Boss- B-Bomb

Got to 2-2 once with this shot, but it was a lower score


360-1.5
Enigma- 5,316,001,545- 2-3 Omote- B-Strong

Route was Normal, Normal, Hidden, Hidden, Hidden. No Deaths until just before the first set of laser wheels. Still don't have the stages figured out any better. Still have to abuse hypers to survive some parts. 3 deaths on the first loop on this run, but it could have been 2 if I didn't completely mess up the stage 5 boss. 2 bombs on 2-1 was great for me, though it could have been 0 or 1 easily too. Stage 2-2 and 2-3 completely destroyed me though. I almost got lucky on 2-3 but I didn't make it to the extend that could have probably gotten me into 2-4.

X360 1.5 Novice
platinumhawke - 36,638,975,625 - 2-ALL Omote - A/Strong

Was not expecting to blind clear the 2nd loop. Nothing like a bit of judicious hypering and bomb abuse to run through a few sections.

360 - 1.5 NOVICE
Emuser - 208,648,475,334 - Ura 2-ALL - A-Strong

Just a lazy novice 'chievos run so I could get the Golden Disaster and Hibachi achievements cleared.

I thought you couldn't get the Hibachi achievement on Novice.

You CAN get them in novice actually, I tried it a few hours ago because I noticed I got the achievement for declining the 2nd loop while I was playing novice. After that I just figured that you could get others as well. But yea, I guess the hard part is 1-5 and meeting ura requirements since the wheels can still be a pain in the ass.

Updated.

Well I finally figured out how to score in Arrange A. Now I just need to learn how to survive while doing it! Didn't even make it to the stage two boss, haha, but it's much better than my previous high. Hopefully will improve soon.

Arrange A
Anesthetize - 93,579,271,362 - 1-2

Not sure if I want to stick with Arrange A for now or try to work on the second loop of 1.5 first. Anyone else currently working on Arrange A?

Novice
Enigma- 179,843,266,796- 1-all(Omote Denied)- B-Strong


Got pissed that I autobombed too much and just decided to deny the loop. Had no deaths and all 45 bees too.

Already improving. My score on stages 2 and 3 is awful, though. Getting over 90bil on the first stage, but haven't learned any others well enough to score properly yet. Still need to survive a little better, too.

Arrange A
Anesthetize - 122,646,678,945 - 1-4

Novice
Enigma- 307,663,484,222- Ura 2-All- B-Strong


Getting the Ura and Hibachi achievements the easy way. Still, I don't think I'm necessarily done with this mode completely, just for at the moment. 1 autobomb first loop, and it was pretty much near the start of 1-5, so lots of potential max bonus lost. Still beat my first loop score from the one run. Absolutely horrible second loop as I didn't practice it, and I should probably do so sometime. I suicided once on the 2-4 boss as I was out of bombs and I wanted to have bombs in stock on 2-5 in case I got hit before the first bomb pickup. Also had lots of superlucky dodges on the second loop.

Replay is up on the Europe leaderboard.

Well done! Board updated.

360- 1.5
Enigma- 9,118,617,501- Omote 2-5- B-Strong


I still horribly suck at this. Gonna have to grind the first loop stages some to actually chain enough to get the 10 billion life. I'm actually pretty disappointed that I didn't get it. Game over on 2-5 first laser wheel set. Also seems easier to break the chain timing in 1.5. At least I get the 10,000 Hits achievement on 1-5.

Watch out, Chaos, I'm catching up:

Arrange A
Anesthetize - 200,875,586,713 - 1-5

Really need to learn stages 3 and 4 now. Had over 100bil on stage 1, then 80bil on stage 2. So, stages 3 and 4 combined netted me a mere 20bil on my last run.

Happy with my progress so far, but I have a long way to go yet.


Edit: Guess it's time to start practicing stage 5 some now. No missed the first four stages and almost made it to the stage 5 boss, but not quite.

Arrange A
Anesthetize - 251,828,919,901 - 1-5

Really enjoying this mode now. The bulk of my score is still coming from the first two stages, which is a shame since there is so much scoring potential in stage 3.

PCB- Black Label
MET - 143,326,076,152 - Area 5 - C-Power - Autobomb Off

Will post a pic on the next update.

This is by far the silliest way to play this game.

360 - Black Label
Erppo - 1,036,159,591,287 - ALL EX - B-Power - Autobomb Off

Also an old Bomb style score that I seem to have forgotten to post. I should look into getting something decent with this ship too.

360 - Black Label
Erppo - 310,675,923,297 - ALL EX - C-Bomb - Autobomb Off

Black Label feels so easy and relaxing after weeks of 1.5

Wow, nice job there!

360-Black Label:

Bananamatic - 53,839,116,083 - ALL EX - A-Bomb - Autobomb ON

Can someone with the Japanese version of the 360 port do me a favor? I've been playing Arrange B a lot lately and I'd like to know what the top scores are since the scores on the PAL leaderboard are lower. If all of the stages are too much of a chore, I'd like to know what the top score for stage 5 is. Still, I think it would be nice to know what the WR for all the stages are, since it's listed for almost every other mode.

Speaking of which, I have this score to submit for Arrange B:

AoK - Area 5 - 10,846,031

Working on this, but the boss battle fucks me up too much :B but somehow I'm #4 on the PAL leaderboard

Arrange B Area 1 is a counterstop.

MOTHERFUCKING TAISABACHI. I completely dropped the ball and the asshole ate 8 bombs instead of 2. Game over with a pixel of health remaining on Hibachi's lifebar.

360 - 1.5
SPZ - 260,208,629,903 - Ura EX Boss2 - A-Strong

On the bright side, I beat all my scoring targets. Full chain stage 1-1, 1-2, 1-4 and 1-5, though there were some mistakes in 1-4 and 1-5. Getting the top score for all A styles was a goal for quite a long time; beating Erppo's C-S was mostly an accident. I guess I just need a crappy Ura clear and I'll be done for a while.

Lame. What about Area 5?

You can find some of the 360 port scores in this file. It's a little unkempt, but you should get the idea.

I'll update the scores shortly.

Why is the A-Power 1.5 novice score (392 bil) so low compared to the other power scores? Did he break his chain in 2-5 or something, and no ones came around to beat it because nobody really cares about novice? I can't help but think I could beat that score just barely with my current routine if I was good enough to not lose my chain in 2-5, but surely there's something I'm missing if I'm having such thoughts.

edit: gonna go for it, had a good run just now, until I broke chain in 2-3, then again in 2-4, got mad and died like 3 times on really silly stuff when I could've just hypered. Was doing great in 2-5 until a warning laser caught me auto firing during the laser wheels and didn't see it in all the chaos.


360 - 1.5 novice
hail good sir - 232,877,807,240 - 2-5 Ura - A-power

Finally kept a chain through 2-5, other than that it was a garbage run and I thought about quitting out a few times.

360 - 1.5 novice
hail good sir - 328,507,991,060 - EX Omote - A-power

Updated. Welcome aboard! I especially love that there's at least some Arrange B traffic. :D

And Sapz, man, you totally can't leave it like that!

Just got to the Omote Loop on 1.5 and then promptly got massacred. It's a 1CC though, so there's still something worth posting for a change. Shitty score, though--I need to stop running into lone bullets meandering across the screen one of these days so I can keep a chain going for the majority of a stage.

360 - 1.5
EIHoppe - 3,088,073,471 - 2-1 Omote (Boss) - B-Strong

Might as well post some of my other scores as well, shit as they might be:

360 - 1.5 Novice
EIHoppe - 137,296,248,257 - 2-ALL Omote - B-Strong

360 - Arrange A
EIHoppe - 51,824,170,449 - 1-4

I think Novice Ura route is starting to become within reach, assuming I don't screw up some patterns that I still haven't developed good strategies for yet. Also, I did a practice run of 1-5 pretty recently that nearly matched this score from the full game, so I might be able to blow this score out of the water on a future run. I'm finally starting to get a good idea of how to cope with the laser wheels.

Also, I really need to start learning Power style though, it's way more fun.
