Just noticed this 3-year old score, so will try to learn some chaining and beat it.

Holy shit. You got a replay for that? I'd like to see it

I kinda failed to record that one, but since I haven't posted any .inps here yet you can have the input for another 41M run I had the same night http://www.mediafire.com/download/d07h1 ... akradu.inp

Oh, are you playing the US version?

It says Japan everywhere and has extend items, so I really doubt it. If you're looking at the inp/rom name then most likely "u" stands for Unlimited and not US.

New Advance course score.

Might have been able to stretch this to a 1cc but had a few fuck ups in round 5 and died at the boss.

Very nice! Have you tried Flame Viper C? If so, why do you pick A? Is there something better about it that I should know about?

I do C runs from time to time, but I like A because I prefer having the extra powered standard shot when bombs are active on screen. It seems to help milking Cyclops, since you can dislodge the side turrets a bit easier before they slide in to the bomb. I tend to keep my options set in in the third style, with all options lined up in front of the ship, and it gives me a little extra juice for point blanking certain enemies and for concentrating fire on certain pieces of bosses.

Interesting, I'll have to give that a shot then! I've needed to get the hang of the Cyclops milk anyways.

I think it's easier to do than Axebeak but the beginning can be tricky if the rank is high going in to the fight. I've tried carrying all 4 or 5 extends from Axebeak in to it and it's a sight easier with a death in the stage. I've been going Train>Seaside>Naval>Desert so I can practice him, I think the most I've pulled from him so far is ~6 million.

Supposed to be playing Japanese rom or doesn't matter?

Yes, please play the Japanese version.

After many years, I finally decided to switch over to Advanced. I really have to get the boss rush down, I coast until then and I usually end up dropping one or two lives before Gigamanta. This run I died on Gigamanta's final form.

EDIT:

Might as well add my new Normal Course score while I'm at it.

Updated.

For further reference, if you're posting an updated score please make note of the previous entry # that score replaces/over-writes. Thanks.

Finally getting back into this game, too bad this run went weird, had 46m before Cloud

Finally got over 40m

Normal Course
Smraedis - 40,624,100 - Flame Viper (C) - ALL (SE)

I can't believe this run happened, got exactly the order I needed from the Cloud midbosses so I went for it and snagged a 50000x64 from Gargoyle (brown guy), then took all the score from Gigamanta's tail too, also some unusual scoring in Valley where you can get lots of 5000x64 if you destroy the miniturrets in the turret wall with shot and not bomb, rest was my usual hijinks and with some survival it was enough for this score

Great score man, very impressive. So does that make you the first westerner to reach the original release counterstop?
