Finally! Score was low on Photon because I decided to focus on 100% destruction rate so I had an extra bomb for spamming Gluon. Really pleased with this run but there's lots of room for improvement. Spectacular game.

Damn, you have knocked me down yet another place. :)

You can still get first place by getting a higher score you know... :wink:

the best part? the replay desyncs, and at Gluon of all places.

It shows that I got 11m on the stage and whatnot but when I play it I apparently did nothing and died three times.

Restarted several times, happens all the time
is that a common issue?

Clearing the game after two weeks is insane, I've been chipping away at it for years.

I've never had the replay thing happen to me, though. I don't see what you can do about it other than beat the score and hope it will record properly.

Now to get some milking done...

I was hoping to break the record by a more impressive amount but I'll take what I can get. I'm sure I can push it higher. I deployed some more advanced techniques in this run which seem to have amounted to pretty much nothing. I was also hoping to milk Gluon for a bit but then it died.

Finally managed to do some proper Gluon milking. I could have done more since I had a few bombs left but I didn't notice in time to react. Had deaths in Graviton and Weakboson which is the best place for them since I don't score much in those stages. I have been improving elsewhere, though. Of particular note is the 9.7 million 2-D score which required a lot of boss milking. Very pleased with that.

I've also been playing Medium Unit a bit but I don't have a score to submit yet. The problem is that it's not as fun as Revision so I always end up playing that. Even so I should be able to break 20 million pretty soon.

Chose to go for Graviton instead of Photon. Maybe if you milk the bosses Photon is better but just in terms of the stage Graviton is a lot easier and more profitable. I messed up Gluon a bit but whatever. I could probably push it to 30 million but I think I'm done with this game for now. Either back to Revision or onto Psyvariar 2.

I need to get back on this. My score here is from April 2008, and it's pathetic! Hopefully I've improved at shmups a bit since then!

As soon as I down Caladrius (or keep failing at its final boss to the point of giving up), I'm back here!

Been so long, though, that I'll need to learn it all from scratch!

EDIT

Just posting a shit score to make some activity. Play this game everyone.
Man I am so unoptimized. I wonder what some proper routes/levels-per-stage are. Maybe Medium Unit is easier? But without the extra bullet buzzing, it isn't as enjoyable.

I'm a little confused that no leaderboard has been added for Delta; might be worth updating this thread to include a separate board since stage layout forces you to play more stages compared to medium unit ( at least)

Anyways, I played this cred offline w/ in a call; surprisingly was a no-miss but bombed the hell out of the X-A boss

I will open a table for that once the first Delta score is submitted.

Good score! Keep it up!

Nice job on the Medium Unit clear Maximo! You must be more comfortable with 2-C. Have you tried 2-D out at all?

I feel like I've hit a wall with the game since my last post ages ago. Even though I can now consistently trigger the first X stage after 2-D, I am not surviving long afterwards when it gets to the Colony or City... let alone with a high enough buzz to get the later X stages. I might be at the end of my rope unless I start looking at replays. Training mode is great but the replay system in this game still confuses me.

Actually, my score -has- improved iirc; I'll just need to dig it up and find it.

I've played a bit of 2-D in practice, but in actual runs I've haven't gotten a chance to play it ( since my stage 1 PB is something like lv23/24 which I believe is insufficient for getting 2-D to show up). I'll have to see if can find a table that breaks down stage level requirements if there is one.

I kinda understand how harder stages will net more score, but I'm trying to find a balance between stage layouts/bosses so that I have enough resources for later stages ( especially for getting past x-b at the moment.

If I do get stuck while going for higher score targets, I might talk to M. Haikal, who has some really outstanding replays ( including a few that hit over 100+ million for revision/delta) on his youtube channel.
