I was about to say "Thank you!" To Icarus, but it appears he has disappeared ^_-

I thought I had a better version of the video up somewhere, but it appears that I don't.
For those interested, a general Shasta strategy and clip went up a long time ago: viewtopic.php?p=157143#p157143

Good scores for Arcade and Arrange guys, keep it up. I expect a letter score from you m3tall1ca. ^_-

TOM - A,245,570 - Stage 5 - (Type C) - PCB

Such a shit run, but I killed the Sky High boss, which left me open to destroy another stage for the letter :P I had pretty much nothing coming into stage 5, so I couldn't do the tank trick. Then I dropped my medal chain, so I couldn't get another free extend out of the popcorn rush. It didn't help that all the preceding stages were shitsuck to the maximum, either, lol. Lace is a fuck, too. I only had one hadou, and I got stomped when she whipped out the aimed pattern that you're supposed to milk for graze points.
I still suck ass at milking Kasumi, too >:|

Anyway, I know I don't go up a spot, but I just had to post the letter. Now the question is, do I go for a quick 'n dirty garegga clear, or keep with Ibara right up until STGT10? ^_-

You can do this without any bombs at the start of the stage. First, just make sure to grab at least one bomb chip from the small tanks, then weaken the first big tank a little and center-bomb it to get the free full-bomb. Then, weaken the second tank and activate and hold the hadou on it to get a second bomb. Then the third one you either just don't worry about, or to can try to chip off all the wheels manually, though you will almost certainly have to have two MGs for that.

Downside is that you can't suicide again before the medal shower (which can be a rank killer), it's a lot more effort, and you don't get as many points (about 400k less?).

! Thanks for the heads up there :O

Welcome to the forums!

@ Psikyo_Ball: Is that perhaps a commentary on the previous post, with clp mentioning he was in the arrange table twice?

just got back from vacation and played a few credits. finally hit level 6 and put up 9.3M. run was ended due to my younger brother running down the basement steps yelling that i had a package come in the mail. instant chain death. so pissed, so i'm not going to officially post it. punched my control panel so hard that up stopped working, so got to fix that now.

hopefully i'll have an A score to post real soon.
