Sorry im newbie here...
Psikyo_ball-831500-Ki8 -1-7- MAME

Died in the 1-8 third boss

Psikyo_ball-1128700-Ki84-1-8- MAME

Ruldra has a double entry on his MAME Arcade score.

Arcade
winteR - 1,614,200 - F5U - 2-5 - Mame

Whatever. Would probably do better if I quit dying on 1-3, but don't feel like practicing it.
AMI - 674400 - Ki84 - 1-6 - MAME

Think I triggered a glitch here. I deathbombed on the boss somehow, and even though I was on my last life I still respawned and got 1 more life. Didn't do any scoring after that, though, since I died on the boss, but w/e - score's still legit.

I'll have a go tomorrow. I think I can beat some of the 1-5 scores. lol.

SPZ - 1,259,000 - Ki84 - 2-1 - MAME

Aaaah, that was terrifying. Was down to no bombs and no lives remaining by the end of the 1-8 boss' second phase and so had to not screw up anything on the last two phases. The adrenaline's still going from that. Of course, I got massacred by 2-1, didn't even make it to the boss.

EDIT: Better score.



SPZ - 1,341,700 - Ki84 - 2-1 - MAME

Here's a .inp of the run for Shmupmame 3.0b.

SPZ - 1,523,200 - Ki84 - 2-3 - MAME

This game is so goddamn addictive. Probably my favourite from Psikyo. Got most of the first loop down now.

Um... 3.0b gives me an 0xc00000005 error. I hate to make you do this, but could you upload it to Youtube? That way I could pause and fast-forward interesting parts.

And I knew you'd like it.

Sure, but I'm not happy with that .inp run now, haha. I'll record .inps from now on and next time I get a similarly good/better run compared to my HS, it'll go on YouTube.

EDIT: Here's a run. Pretty bad second loop performance, not as good as my HS, but my best first loop so far, 1 miss, so it should be roundabout what you're after.

atsumu - 1,099,600 - Ki84 - 1-8 - MAME

Almost reached the second loop! If I didn't die two times with bombs in stock I could have made it.

Hagane - 718,900 - Ki84 - 1-6 - MAME

First attempt at playing this seriously, it still has a lot of things I don't like but it has grown on me.

Hagane - 849,600 - Ki84 - 1-7 - MAME

Battletoad - 984,100 - Ki84 - 1-8 - MAME

From a few months ago. Somehow I forgot to post this or even to keep playing.

New to this game as of yesterday really enjoying it so far. Everyone has to start somewhere right.



jammiejay85 - 389,500 - Ki84 -1-4 - MAME

Battletoad - 1,013,100 - Ki84 - 1-8 - MAME

I've been struggling what game to play in recent days. Might as well finish the 1-ALL here as it is very close already. I need to stop getting killed by all this popcorn stuff. Their chaotic fire and their shots that ruin boss patterns are worse than most boss fights themselves for me.

atsumu - 1,218,400 - Ki84 - 2-1 - MAME



I've finally 1-ALL this game. There were 6 unused bombs so I probably could have gotten further in the 2nd loop.

A slight improvement



jammiejay85 - 500,600 - Ki84 - 1-5 - MAME

Can you replace my old score please.

Despatche - 714,400 - F5U - 1-6 - ShmupMAME

i want to use the lightning or the mosquito but they may be a bit too slow for me

i used shmupmame 3.0b, dips set to "world", and a button for autofire

Thanuris - 840,700 - Ki84 - 1-7 - MAME



First time playing! The bombs of this ship are too strong

ACD - 456,800 - Ki84 - 1-5 - Mame

Battletoad - 1,055,900 - Ki84 - 1-8 - MAME

Just one enemy shy of reaching the last boss. It somehow feels like I've got most things in place, just need a bit of luck - or rather less bad luck since I keep dying on ridiculous ways with full bomb stock - to get to him. The last boss on the other hand feels totally overwhelming for me as of now. The last boss part should be one of the easiest parts in the game once learned, but the rest just seems weird with all the half-aimed stuff that hits you when you're in a certain position and doesn't hit you when you're in another one.

Any pro tips here or precise positioning and dodging strategies?

You might wanna watch some videos for tips. The 1-8 boss isn't particularly hard. Last time I played, my bomb usage for the first loop was like this (unless I lost a life with a full bomb-stock)

1 bomb - 1-6 boss last pattern
2 bombs - 1-8 boss third phase
1 bomb (if needed) - 1-8 boss last (fourth) phase

The first phase of last boss is a tap pattern. Second phase is relatively easy once you have seen a video or practiced a bit using saves. The third I haven't figured out and the fourth is simply a matter of some practice and anticipation. I use bomb on the fourth phase sometimes to avoid ruining a run sometimes.

Also haven't figured out the 1-6 last pattern although one can still enter the second loop with full stock (9 bombs) by bombing that pattern.

Emo Fox Jet Pilot - 978,100 - Ki84 - 1-8 - Mame (Arcade Version)

Been working on this since STGT ended. The second loop of this game is so much harder than in III that it's not even funny. >_>

Figured I'd post this score since I barely managed to break 2 mil though.

ShadowWraith - 2,002,000 - F5U - 2-7 - MAME



e: also, can someone explain what happens at 4:30 in this video? http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8329627

I've never seen this before.

2e: looks like a glitch to get free points/bombs. interesting.

Interesting, seems during a part of the boss self destruct sequence suiciding doesn't cause a reset on stats (so power-ups, bombs, lives) and when the ship respawns, yeah, he gets the full bonus for extra power-ups and bombs. Same again on 2-3. This player is doing a few odd things otherwise too, but that's a noteworthy point. Thanks for sharing and nice score.

FINALLY.

Lx0 Bx1.

ShadowWraith - 2,514,300 - F5U - ALL - MAME

Ooooooooooooooh,

So close d00d!

Spectacular score though

Mad props!

Cheers,

Ralph.
