Welcome fellow Silver Hawks... I've updated the OP


Scores has been updated...

Good call on splitting DBCS by version, you just never know.

I think there should be ship splits. I know it's a lot of boards, but the website and even the game already split by ship, and the differences between ships are massive. It seems really unfair to compare Second scores to Genesis scores, for example.

Not if you use a Gameshark, or forget what route you took and are making it up after the fact :V

While I understand this, there are 8 ships and 10 route ends, so there would be 80 tables to fill, I feel that the ports should be doing this though!

I know what you mean but honestly it's a waste of time and makes the score board messy and confusing...
Before EX came out I had 12 tables for the DBAC (4 ships/3 routes), then I decide to have 5 tables instead of 12...
I might add a Top 5 for each ship, let me think about it...

CHI - 136,825,100 - ADH - Second - PC
CHI - 157,780,650 - CFK - Second - PC
CHI - 175,362,900 - CFJ - Second - PC



Edit: spelling!

One downside of not having ship-specific boards is that only the single best score for a given person is tracked for each stage, which for people who can play multiple ships well, will usually just be the highest-scoring ships. There have been some fantastic scores posted with certain ships in this thread (Gaiden, etc) by players who also submitted scores with higher-scoring ships, erasing those other scores from the boards. You'd never know about them at all unless you manually dug through the thread history. 80 potential boards really is a ridiculous amount to try to sift through in a forum format, though, so I'm not really sure what the best answer is.

In any case, I hope to start posting scores soon, but I'm not there yet.

Maybe split Original and Original EX into two threads? That actually sounds like a pretty good idea, now that I think about it.


I have no idea why the online boards don't do this. I asked them about it, and hopefully this is on The List. It's a big list, maybe some of it will be done in time for the Japanese release.

(I know a place that will split by ship)

CSF - 127,510,300 - ADH - Legend - PC

No miss, all counterbursts, basically perfect. Wait, there's 80 million more points in this route?

Smraedis - 163,482,000 - ADH - Genesis - PC

I wasn't going to submit this yet because I should raise it easily, but I guess I will so I don't clog up this thread with more non-submission posts.

C.M - 92,505,300 - H - Gaiden - PC


For Legend, only 60. No sweat!

Nice scores, keep them coming... Updated

124M video of ADH route with Genesis (this is my 2nd high score on the PS4 version).

I normally play on PC, but used the PS4 version and its Share function to make this vid.
This ends with a score of 124,003,600, but there's also another higher one in my local ranking for 129,329,200.

My Youtube run goes well until a botched finish on the final boss, where I end up with a regular shot kill instead of a Burst finish.

I know .SM has higher than this, but I'll post it for now.

Icarus - 169,972,300 - ADH - Genesis [DBACEX PS4]

A few critical scoring mistakes, including being knocked down to x13 against Iron Fossil (as well as missing a bunch of scales); only getting a Triple Counter on Lightning Claw (but managing to destroy all of the targets with the Fourfold Counter); and misjudging how much damage is required against Violent Ruler, and destroying it with the last part of a Single Counter. :/

From a quick calculation and video checking, I lost about 5.1mil from the bad Violent Ruler kill. Therefore, 185mil+ potential with some further refinements.

Nice replays, keep them coming... Updated

I think I'm starting to figure things out.

C.M - 114,743,000 - H - Gaiden - PC

C.M - 121,585,400 - H - Gaiden - PC

A quick update, yo.

Icarus - 183,137,700 - ADH - Genesis [DBACEX PS4]

Aside from not killing the Zone D snake with an Alpha Beam, and killing Lightning Claw with a Triple Counter only, this was decent. Still missing some points in Zone H, so this could be pushed to 190mil with some refinements.

CSF - 91,247,300 - ORV - Next - PC

an EX clear

C.M - 144,259,100 - H - Gaiden - PC

Stream highlight is here. I think I got x96 on everything important except Violent Ruler. Lost some points on him, as usual, and here and there throughout the stages. 150 mil is definitely attainable!

Don't bother adding this, CHI. Still in the process of improving it.

Got hit a couple of times in this run on Violent Ruler and lost ~2.5mil from lost multiplier.

Some critical tricks that are being worked on include precisely damaging Iron Fossil so that the second Fourfold Counter takes out the scales on the other side of the body before killing the boss; picking up the three twisters in Zone D before the snake midboss for 6mil+ total; speedkilling Lightning Claw for a higher time bonus; and finding a more accurate route through the beginning of Zone H, and to capitalise on the longer midstage Fourfold Counter. 195mil+ is the current target.

EDIT: Grrrrrrrr.

Lower-than-average Zone A, at 48.4mil - best from Zone A is currently 51.8mil, and averaging 50mil, so the potential is there. Still getting hit in stupid places during Violent Ruler, though.

Are you playing it on Cabinet 11? What's your user name? Mine's chipan8

I enjoyed watching that Gaiden replay, keep them coming... Both scores updated

Yes Sir ICR, looking forward to your progress

PS: I've not touched DBCS, all I've been playing is Chronicle Mode

I'm on 64 at the moment. Steam name's asiago.

Just cleared ORV. I haven't practiced this much so it's not very optimized, I missed two of the three burst kills, and I died once in stage
2. Hope to improve this later.

Shepardus - 115,920,300 - Genesis - V - PC

Also while I'm at it here's a score for ADH:
Shepardus - 118,622,400 - Second - H - PC

And a first-clear score for BEI:
Shepardus - 73,810,200 - Next - I - PC

C.M - 133,695,400 - I - Gaiden - PC

#3 on the PC leaderboards (and I'm pretty sure #1 is fake), I guess nobody plays I Route Onto J next. Gotta catch 'em all.

You can post this one, CHI.

Icarus - 194,937,500 - ADH - Genesis [DBACEX PS4]



I can maybe squeeze another 6mil out of the Iron Fossil flip trick, and speedkilling Lightning Claw, but this run was near-perfect throughout. No stupid hits on Violent Ruler, either.

Well done fellow Silver Hawkers, keep them coming

Pretty much just survival runs at the moment with no score optimization. Also, please excuse my various Internet handles.
