Is it just me or does bullet speed just go nuts in Stage 4?

slowly improving. After many runs lasting only to the 2nd level I've learned to get over my usual shame at bombing. The game gives you so many anyway. Now I just let em rip.

Looks like I am getting in the hang of this game.

[Hobie-wan]

Oh yeah, game that was refined into Shienryu/Gekioh. I thought it seemed familiar, just hadn't played it more than 5 minutes before. Amusingly my first game was one of the 281K, second game was the 730K, then the rest were all relatively crap again.

This game is pretty damn fun. Only had time for about 4 runs tonight and managed to get this far, so I hope to see improvement.

It's not just you.
The game is quite easy in stages 1-3 just to kick your ass in stage 4, regardless how hard you tried to control rank.

Updated.

My thingamahjing now draws a half-baked 'statistical' image of the dispersion of scores, dynamically, of course.

Here's the one for week1:

That is quite a gap.

Super happy fun times!

So close to 5mil. This game is a lot of fun though. Stage 6 was a bitch until I realised that the S powerup made the ship move faster and didn't have a noticable effect on rank. I R SMRT! ._.

Incredible as the difficulty increases with the phases
But one has to give the score improved

Getting pissed off trying to record an inp since shmupmame will freeze eventually in stage 5 for some reason. Anyways though here's a minor improvement from me.

Basically I got a 2up in this run, died partway through stage 5 and stage 6 once each, and when I got to the 7th boss I figured I'd "milk" the boss out of his two shoulders-->nearly kill him with lightning-->suicide in order to drop the rank a bit before looping since I had some spare lives. Unfortunately I kept screwing up against him and couldn't kill him before I ran out of lives. I also figured out that getting an extend actually raises the rank so by the time I noticed his bullets actually speeding up after my extends, I was already short on lives.

Needless to say though if you keep suiciding on him like I did its actually worth a BOATload of points, so it might be something to try if you're willing to spare a few lives before the loop, or if you're lazy to try the 2nd loop which is where I sit closer to. Sad part is that if I just calmed down I would've had 5.5 Mil going into the 2nd loop, but only two lives...not like it would matter though cause the "getting sniped in the ass by everything below you" phase begins and I'd probably be dead to a side/rear snipe or an unexpected closeup shot many times over.

...improved today. I have a video ready as well.

Nothing like the game freezing up for no fucking reason!!!!

I have to say the autofire turns this into a completely different game. I didn't try it at first because it didn't seem like it would make a difference since you can hold down fire by default. But autofire makes bosses go down WAY quicker. I actually think it's probably not fair to allow, but I'm assuming that the top scorer's are using it, so I have to try* to compete.

I 2nd that freezing notion. All I want to do is record a decent inp but it always freezes for me after I blow up the 1up carrier for some reason(shmupmame v2.2).

And I actually had no idea autofire did anything extra since the game already has it's own autofire going on, I figured no amount of mashing, inhumanly possible or not, would allow you to point blank things any faster. I'm gonna try it out tomorrow and see if anything happens cause I'd enjoy getting rid of a pesky boss part just that tad bit quicker...
