I was doing some practice on 2nd loop Ultimate diff and then give a run of the World Rankings mode. Planning to 2-ALL this mode as well getting the 100%/Platinum without pause-exploit.

So I went and wiped a lot of stuff. Sorry, thought I'd try this. The board looks a less intimidating and my sanity has improved slightly. If people don't like it, I still have a copy of the original.

I really want the 2-ALL of this, could have been further if it wasn't for some mistakes.
Also, change my old name to my current one.

Congrats on the clears!

Unfortunately, I am not taking Light scores at this time. This game has way too many categories, and the first loop of Original is very similar to Light. Believe me, I'm a Light hero too...

Replay on World Rankings, not sure if I want to upload my run to YT tbh, so many awful deaths on loop 2...

Huge congrats! And please do upload the video, every run has it's mistakes. If anything, recovering from a big setback is really cool to watch.

Sorry, I'm making this even more complicated.

Arcade Original - Original - Fighting Thunder
Steven - 7,514,070 - 1-3 - Plasma - 1P - Mikado Remix PC

Spoiler: show

Apparently spamming the charge missiles is the best way to get points. That's not exactly a very interesting way to get score...

raising risk bacause of not killing enemies the quickest way possible to get score is a ok'ish way, I guess.

Yeah, but it kind of makes the speedkilling aspect not so great; I checked out Jaimers' run from a while ago and he's saying that the missile points are generally better than speedkilling everything, which defeats having that mechanic in general. Speaking of missiles, is there a reason to use the M missile or the R missile? The R missile in particular seems pretty bad. M missile is okay, especially when charged, but H missile seems to be the best.

Any known differences for player side?

Especially in later stages, when the helis (?) fly to the very buttom of the screen an shoot you from the side and you have to adjust your movement, H is a mus (for my grade of skill). If you habe a very good knowledge of the pattern of these popcorn enemies, M can be good for taking down the bigger enemies in the dangerous corridor sections of stage 3 and 4 for instance. The bosses 1-4 go of course a bit quicker down with M.

Played myself only with H but changed to R for the stage 5 boss. I think R+ Laser gives you the fastest kill, if you use bombs.

After experimenting with the M missile it looks like the H missile is theoretically better for score against tough enemies and bosses since the H missile is weaker than the M missile and kills things more slowly, so if you want to sit there and milk bosses or large enemies with charge missiles H missile is probably going to be the best one to do it with. I don't know about the scoring in the arcade mode, though; I think it's kind of broken since the charge missiles seem to give more points than speedkilling in most cases. I'll have to mess around with both the charge missiles and speedkilling stuff some more to see what happens.

I also found out like 2 days ago that this game doesn't have score extends at all. I was wondering why I wasn't getting any score extends, and now I know why.

Why is it broken? The charge is the main score tool and you also can get some extra points with less risk, if you speedkill things. Seems to be an ok'ish concept.

What do you mean with extends?
