Gave this a go. Stage 5 sort of took me by surprise since recharges at the big thingies don't really work in Novice.

Minor improvement thanks to getting a 40k chain in stage 5. Chain sucked when I beat Inbachi due to a few stupid hits, and stage 4 score was garbage.

Trying my hand at Laser mode, much harder to maintain chains and score. I actually find it tough because once you start screwing up, you can't save up quite the large stock of lives/bombs you can normally, and I'm not used to arcade difficulty. Usually from the stage 4 midboss shit gets rough.

All updated. As usual, please check the submission guidelines for little naggy things like Autobomb OFF/ON versus YES/NO and editing in new scores between updates instead of posting again (I fly through posts from top to bottom between updates, and it sucks when I have to double-back and readjust a table to accommodate a new score that moves you up a place).

[BareKnuckleRoo]

Yay, back to the top!

Holy fuck this mode is fun. I keep coming back to it. A few mistakes in this run here 'n there (got hit during the stage 4 boss I think, lost a major chain end of stage bonus there), but a good stage 5 run and ending with 50k chain against Inbachi made the difference.

At some point I'll try to get one of these recorded. ._.

[CptRansom]

Please do! I'm going crazy trying to figure out where these points in st3-4 are coming from!

[BareKnuckleRoo]

I'll look into buying a recording device tomorrow or ask colour_thief if I can pop over and use his recording stuff.

I actually had one run tonight where I ended stage 3 with 9 bil (!!! I can't remember what I did here, stupidly I forgot to think to save this replay) but I screwed it up in the most pathetic way possible at the stage 4 boss - got greedy with building up hypers for stage 5, dropped below 2000, and during the final phase that's normally stupid easy, I was sitting at the bottom of the screen and got distracted by Top Gear for a moment... I let one of the slowest bullets in the universe smack into me. ;_; It's probably bad to play in the same room as someone watching TV...

My current strategy is to try to start each stage with a mid-high hyper level (at least 5) to build up a large number of hits early in the level, then build up my meter to 10000 by using low level hypers (2-3, spending as little meter as possible), then cash the meter in for one high late-level hyper and that nice fat GP bonus multiplier (at least 6). Stage 5 midbosses are pretty bad, I purposefully hyper them/shotlaser them to gain hypers for the patterns that usually hit me (when the first midboss rushes the bottom of the screen, the third midboss's second attack), and could probably be better if I didn't sit on a hyper waiting to use it to cancel something that'd hit me.

Just added a minor update to my poo score. Out of interest, is it just one entry per player regardless of ship type?

Yeah, the scoreboard's just separated by game mode and Shot/Laser/Expart. Because there's so many game modes and not too many scores yet, it's easier to lump all ship types together, the only exception being the arcade modes with Saya (Type D) because she produces tons more slowdown than the other 3 ships so she gets separate scoreboards. I think the discussion on this is at the bottom of page 1 or early page 2?

The submission format instructions say to use YES/NO but the leaderboards are with ON/OFF. The game uses ON/OFF.

[CptRansom]

Oh good, I'm retarded (it should be ON/OFF all around). Fixed.

[CptRansom]

Sorry for the double-post but uh...

[Tyjet]

Wow, good job!

[CptRansom]

Thanks! I'm a little annoyed at choking during the last boss, obviously, because I could've pushed my chain to 70k+, which would've given me ~1.5bil instead of the 0.88mil for the 44k chain. Of course, if I hadn't saved my hypers for parts I suck at dodging, I could've maxed the chain at 99,999 for an EOS of just under 2bil.

What I learned for the Hi/Inbachi fights? Spam level 1 hypers like fucking crazy. They get the hit counter up, but more importantly, they trigger the shield and give you more time to get in more hits. I didn't figure that out until Inbachi. D'oh. Oh well. I'm done with Shot mode for reals. I don't care who beats it; I've sorely neglected every other mode and difficulty in this game. I hope this starts a path toward maybe 35+? That'd be awesome.

Awesome score!

Double postan... kuso score, kuso play, hope to improve. Fun as hell, balls hard. Lovin' it.

Finally made it to stage 5 in a non-novice/Saya mode! Made it a good distance in, too... too bad about all my derpy deaths with bombs in stock.

First run at this since I did a quick and dirty 1cc of it when the game first came out. I am awful at stage 5 when I don't have superlasers and superslowdowns, apparently. I don't like Arcade mode scoring, even on Novice difficulty. =( 1.5/360 are way more fun.

I kindly ask that YOU NOT POST additional scores until I post that I've updated. Simply go back and edit your post to reflect your higher score instead unless it's something earth-shattering... and no, your "I went from 500mil to 550mil" update does not qualify as earth-shattering

I'm going to punch you in the dick.
