TWE - 35,716,020 - 5-2 - Ageha

Ended my game again on the first 5-2 boss. I also lost 3-4 lives in Level 4, for some reason.

The good news is I can get by the 5-1 boss now usually without dying. Hopefully the 1CC will come soon, and I'll get my 40+mil score.

TWE - 37,743,030 - 5-2 - Ageha

I came into the 5-2 bosses with only one life left and somehow managed to make it all the way to the very final part with all the up-down-left-right bullet hell, dying right at the start. Very frustrating as I practiced this part of the boss in simulation many times and could get by it without dying about 80% of the time. I guess my nerves just got to me. I lost 3-4 lives in L4 again, which is kinda killing my scores and chances at a 1CC. I just need to get that stage and 5-1 more consistent, then the 1CC should come along.

BTW sorry GaijinPunch, I now have the highest score amongst the Hawaii players.

TWE - 38,382,430 - 5-2 - Ageha

This is getting frustrating. I made it to the 5-2 bosses with 4 lives and lost my last one right before the very final attack. I know the 1CC is very close at hand though, so I'll keep trying. At this point I may make it to 40 mil BEFORE I get a 1CC, as I am continually improving my individual level strats as I try for the 1CC.

The only problem is once you beat it you pretty much have to beat it to improve your score from that point on, but your score's going to be pretty good when you do clear the game.

Anyway, all this action here has got me back into the game. I've decided to totally relearn all the stages, so far I've only got stage 1 down. Finally broke 4 million today with 4.19 million. Now I need to start learning stage 2 again. This could take me a while at this rate.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 6:47 am

Finally.

Good enough for 7th place here.

TWE - 43,564,350 - ALL - Ageha

I had 39.1mil as a base score, finished with only
1 life, 6 life bars, about 25% of my guard barrier,
and no gold. I got to the final phase of Jakou with
1 life left, and got through it unscathed!
If I can get through the very first part, the
rest is a piece of cake. I was hoping to get at least
45 mil, but I guess I need to finish with more than one
life to get near that.

Yeah. I've only beat it with one life left though, so beating it with more than one life is a new goal, and one that should boost my score.

Good to hear you're playing again. I felt like I was one of the last people playing this! It's my 2nd all-time fave shmup, right behind ikaruga.

What kind of L3 scores are you getting? On a good run I can get 11.5 mil.
As for L1, I've never broken 4mil, but I consistently get 3-3.4mil, my best being about 3.5mil.

Stage 3 I used to get around 11 million very consistently. In fact, with all my old strategies I was very consistent which is why I used those strategies. Since my 52 million game was pretty much maxed out with those strategies I kind of need to find new paths through the levels.

Hopefully I'll be able to pull off 12-13 million after some practice on stage 3. For now I'm doing stage 2 and so far, with a pretty sloppy run, I can get 8 million.

It's good to see you finally beat it. Hopefully that doesn't kill your drive to get a higher score.

I have done 12-13 mil in practice mode, but this is done via milking the boss as the DVD player does. I die far too often on this, so I've never had the guts to do it in a real run.

It's good to see you finally beat it. Hopefully that doesn't kill your drive to get a higher score.

Thanks. Took me about a month and a half (I got the game in April actually but only played it a few hours and put it on the backburner until this past July) of dedicated play, though the past 3-4 weeks I haven't had much time to play games, just a half hour here and there during the week.
Anyway, the first time I 1CCd Ikaruga I only had something like 21 or 23 mil, and I kept improving to my final score of 29.5 mil, so I can see a similar situation happening with Galuda. My next goal is to finish with 2-3 lives left and get over 45 mil. I'm also interested in starting on chaining the first 2 levels of DDP DOJ.

kawaijb · Post by **kawaijb** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 1:21 pm

yeah stage 3 mid boss milk gives many points if done correctly

MMM, wouah 4.19mil on stage 1 is just very good, the jap best ever is 4.50mil I think

Actually, the real number 1 is ISO, who has scored 72,074,190 with Ageha.

Alright, went back for a little bit of ESP Galuda goodness. Still getting the hang of things. I love these Cave games, but they are hard indeed. I miss not having the hit box glow when you shot lasers like in Mushi. Oh well, enough ramblings. My score as of now:

Arcade 5-1 Ageha
12,115,960

Need some improvement and sometime I'll watch the DVD in depth the find the right spots to get the most gold. For now, this will have to do.

MovingTarget · Post by **MovingTarget** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 11:13 pm

I'm curious why so many are using ageha.

Her shot is not easy to use in this game. And she's slow like an agony... So glory again to Clover-TAC!

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 1:27 am

I'm starting to play with Tateha now. It's a different approach, but I'm having fun, it's almost like a new game. She's actually stronger in some regards (wider normal shot, stronger Kakusei normal shot).

Anyway I hope to have the first ALL clear Tateha score here (and also be one of the first Westerners to have 1CCed the game with both Ageha and Tateha). Of course now that I've said this, I'm sure MrMonkeyMan will jump in, learn to use her in 2 days and get an all clear before me.

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:47 am

I can't resist a challenge =P

Very first attempt :)

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 3:27 am

Was that an ALL clear?

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 3:34 am

That is the boss dying, isn't it?

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 4:05 am

Nice going. What was your score ?
BTW you might want to make two charts, one for ageha, the other for tateha. Scores for each are separate in Arcadia for example.

kawaijb · Post by **kawaijb** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 10:52 am

I think about 4 million bonus...

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 1:32 pm

Well, thanks to the fact that the game doesn't even show you your final score if you don't make the top five list, I have to do the math myself, and judging by the picture I got 1 million points for the one life and 2.5 million for the 5 life boxes, and nothing for gold or barrier remaining.

So, I guess 36,883,420?

Anyway, I'm not gonna stick with her as I've been practicing for the last week or so with Ageha and will hopefully be breaking 60 million one day with him. Don't want to start drifting after I spent so much time getting accustomed to the game again.

I'll think about seperate tables, but no one plays as Tateha anyway.

MovingTarget · Post by **MovingTarget** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:55 pm

I seem to be getting nowhere with this game, getting to stage 4 with about 10 mil but never more. Its normally the boss attacks that kill me. Then again I've only managed a few hours a night since I got it a week ago... How many hours have you people put into the game before noticing your scores drastically improving and reaching stage 5-2?

Also, who are these alter egos that appear in kakusei?
