thanks, y'all.

Nice score man. Keep it up, go for the ALL! Just curious, what bosses did you miss?

I missed Bashinet R and Glow Squid. I always miss those two, not sure what triggers 'em - they are the next thing to improve maybe but Glow squid is probably a bitch in this game too so I'm not sure I want to.

Thanks for the info, plasmo and breakdown.

For Glow Squid you have to destroy the 4 spinning wheels that look like Garegga's second boss (Mad Ball) and at least one active Garegga character after stage 6.
For Bashnet R you have to destroy the hatches of the 3 rocket launchers on the ground in stage 6 (you can only do this with bomb) and at least one active Mahou character after stage 6.

I have a Batrider ST, but it's only in german, maybe I should translate it or something. Btw, after this semester, in the end of July, I'll join the score competition. Please don't stop playing till then.

[Icarus]

Well done, guys.

Please translate it asap, so I can prepare for your competition!!

congrats for the D score DMC

[Enhasa]

Updated. It's weird, no activity in this thread for months and then a flurry now.

Actually Icarus did during the STGT06 at about 5am in the morning. I'm pretty sure his B score should be listed as an ALL, I've seen the avi.

I remember he did because I watched the avi too. I think his best run didn't finish though, and that's what's on the board. Ok, big ups to Zach Keene again for keeping the very useful index, it was quick work to find this post. The STGT ALL was an A.


Plasmo, I'd like to see that German ST. You don't need to translate it right now either.

[Icarus]

All my Advanced letter scores, for those interested. All Strawman (A) scores.
Links to original scoreposts included.

A,006,xxx - Stage 7
A,875,xxx - ALL -> (replay)
B,167,xxx - Stage 7
B,315,xxx - ALL
B,486,xxx - Stage 7 -> (replay)

I think I can do a C,xxx,xxx ALL with Strawman, but it'd take a while to get back up to scratch since I haven't played Batrider for a very long time. The B,315,xxx ALL has a replay, but it isn't uploaded.

Nice one DMC, a D score is very impressive

[Ayanami]

Congrats DMC. Any chance for a replay? I need some visual aid for a bunch of the hidden bosses.

[DMC]

no replay this time.

[NTSC-J]

The other day at the arcade I saw a guy clear Advanced course with an O,800,000 score. He`s always there on Friday nights ripping the game up but this was the best run I`ve seen him do. Some notes on what he did:

-He used Carpet, Wild Snail and the red Battle Garegga ship.
-I`m not well-versed in how the bosses are triggered or how many you can get in a run, but he got all the ones I know of excluding Envy and Sobut.
-He used the aura all the time, except on big enemies or when the screen was too packed.
-Every boss was milked for at least 5 minutes. Any boss with respawning enemies was abused as much as possible. The only one where he seemed to just want to get through it and survive was Glow Squid.
-He never had more than 2 lives at a time.
-He had 1 million at the end of stage 1 and reached A,000,000 on stage 5, which was Bashinet

The moral of the story is, if there`s even a micron of a point to be had, milk it.

[Twiddle]

No Batrider ship? Interesting. I guess I can make do with Miyamoto/Carpet/Wild Snail should I ever get to that level.

[GaijinPunch]

Advanced course with an O,800,000 score.

O for Orgasm.

[DEL]

Thanks for that NTSC-J. Very useful info. It'll breathe new life into the game for me.
Cheers

[jpj]

so he got 14 million points from stages 6 and 7...?

[moozooh]

Stages 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Full Advance course with all bosses unlocked is 10 stages long.

[jpj]

wicked, cheers

make quick auto adjust buttons for japanese b version: bind a key to both start + a (for fire rate up) and start + c (for fire rate down)

now you can milk bashinet and black heart for >=6600 points a second!

[Ayanami]

I have a quick question. When changing your fire rate, do you have to hold start and press A or C? Or can you just mash the A button like in Garegga?

you can mash the A button as well, but the highest you'll get doing that is 30

Cool, I tried it yesterday. I have yet to see the miracle, but it sure helped on a few bosses. I guess the milking was not the best from my side.

Btw, after this semester, in the end of July, I'll join the score competition. Please don't stop playing till then.

think I have to, unfortunately. But have fun beating those scores.

I guess that might explain why the fellow I saw get the O,8m score was using 7 buttons. Pretty cool how these arcades outfit their cabs with adjustments for each game. They even included a reset button next to the monitor.

I have the Korean B board, so those autofire settings won't be applicable for me.
So here's a slight Normal Course increase :-
A.P.Batrider Normal
7,831,650 - 6-ALL - Strawman (A), Flying Baron (B), Miyamoto (C)

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j262/ ... 1695-1.jpg
Failed to trigger Black Heart for some odd reason.

[DMC]

Normal (jpn-b version):
A,379,610 - DMC - ALL - Strawman (C) / Flying Baron (A) / Miyamoto (C)

Inp (v.0.118u2)

Special (korean)
9,738,260 - DMC - 17 (Discharge) - Strawman (C) / Flying Baron (A) / Miyamoto (C)

There are some notable improvements since last time. Milking of Bazzcok,the airport boss, is a bit better now and may be worth watching. Although I didn't destroy at least one part of him in this run. I'm also a bit better on getting medals from the platforms in sewage stage. I've attempted to milk some bosses with increased auto-fire, after reading Twiddle's advice in the strategy section. Despite these changes, the marginal improvement was due to several stupid mistakes like failiing to kill gob robo and breaking the medal chain by the last stage yet again. In general, my highway is still pretty messed up.


But I think B in normal is within reach now if everything goes as it is supposed to and I hit the bashinet jackpot. Maybe lack a few 100k's though. So if anyone watches that inp, I would appreciate some tips. Anyway, Im having a long(!) and well-deserved(!!) break from this game now. Maybe enjoying the weather outside instead and reading a good book or two.

Btw, any tips on Discharge's blue laser beam?

[Icarus]

Mind if I get all my scores wiped from the boards?
I'm playing Batrider again, and would like some kind of incentive to make and post a score. ^_-

[Plasmo]

Advanced Course: [Korean B]

B,568,170 - Cowboy-NOA - Stage 8 - Strawman (C) / Flying Baron (A) / Miyamoto (C)

Finally had the guts to approach Advanced with a team. Lost my medalchain early in the highway stage and was never really able to recover. I somehow got Black Heart mkII. Note that I didn't select all my ships with different buttons. Maybe the actual condition is just to have at least two different ships selected with different buttons?

P.S. yay I finally beat Icarus' old score!

[DMC]

Normal
B,413,520 - DMC - ALL - Strawman (C) / Flying Baron (A) / Miyamoto (C)



Yup, that's it for normal, from me. I'll definitely focus on Advanced next time I pick this game up again. Perhaps it's a good opportunity to experiment more with the different characters by then (like car-pet and/or another batrider character).

Plasmo, maybe all surviving characters has to have different shot types when you encounter Black Heart mkII. I'd guess either strawman or miyamoto was dead at the onset of the boss?

[Enhasa]

Cool shit guys. > 1mil improvement on a normal letter score is like woah.

DMC, if you used your normal course score as advanced, it would almost be #1 there too.

[moozooh]

I'd so like to see that! Crazy score, man. o_o

[DMC]

Moozooh, the run was recorded so I'll upload it as soon as it's converted to avi.
