Testing out a Zone I route.

Icarus - 173,449,000 - ADI - Genesis [DBACEX PS4]



Devised a workable route through it for score, and spent some time testing out attack patterns for Thousand Knives, to try and kill the boss by the early counter beam. Almost nailed it, though in this run I only managed to get a Triple Counter kill. The key is to go behind it all the way, and do at least two Alpha Beams' worth of damage along with shot and pointblank missiles. Retaining lvl4 Laser is also key, both for attack power and enemy laser cancelling.

Lightning Claw is still my #1 cause of missed points. Still, consistency's getting a little better.

I'm guessing you'll be hitting Hard route pretty soon, using Gaiden should be 'a stroll in the park'

Updated...

I've been working on CFJ a little bit, still quite rough though. Phantom Castle needs a very careful touch.

Improved my ADH score a bit, this time with Genesis. Got a max-power counterburst kill on Lightning Claw, but less than max power counterburst on Iron Fossil and only a regular burst kill on Violent Ruler. Need to put some actual effort into destroying boss parts and optimizing stages if I'm going to improve this.

Still trying to get the hang of killing Phantom Castle right at the start of his second phase. Not accidentally picking up shot powerups in Zone J seems to be the next hardest thing...

I'll be away from DBACEX for a while, please continue posting your progress

Old score, please ignore:


Edit:
Got a clear of CFJ with Genesis. I swear Genesis is easier to use than Next in many cases despite lacking a fixed burst...

Preliminary CFJ route-building with Genesis.

Phantom Castle makes the whole scoring run really unstable at the moment, because a decision has to be made to either forego a lot of scoring potential for safety, or Option Melee everything for score. At the moment, I have no route for Option Melee, so this run is a poor scoring attempt. C and J are currently decent enough, however.

Starting to get a better feel for how to handle Phantom Castle with Genesis, though there's still a lot of things to improve on. I'm currently behind most high-level runs by 45mil after Zone F, so there's a lot of untapped scoring potential in this route. In this run, I didn't even kill Phantom Castle with a Burst, so I lost over 12mil right there. Also small niggly bits here and there, and I need to study Hungry Gluttons to determine how to kill it on the last attack loop, as I found out this evening that it actually does time out after a while.

What a fight. This was very nearly a no-miss; GTV went down with a single bomb after I ate it. Pretty disappointed about how it ended, but so happy to have beaten it. Most of this run was well executed for me; I could probably break 160mil with Gaiden but it would require really good execution and a no-miss. I've got a few other routes to beat before I even consider that.

Hardly worth posting, but I improved my ORV score by about 200k...

Finally over 200mil for any route on AC Mode, but this CFJ strategy is capable of 240mil+ with a lot of refinements to Phantom Castle. I was working on it this evening, and managed to pull nearly 40mil without the final kill, but estimate 80mil is possible before the Burst Counter kill, so there's still a lot of score potential available. Also, started to feel out a route for CGL, and can probably get to GT with 120mil or more with some work. Actually killing GT with the Fourfold Counter is going to take some work, as a lot of pointblanking to utilise Bomb damage needs to be done to damage GT enough by then, or using more Alpha Beams during the fight.

Preliminary route-building for Zone K - still need to work out a good way to kill the first form of Dark Helios with Option Melee, as it takes way too long to recharge for another burst during Syvalion. Also, had a number of 210mil+ runs this session, including this PB and also a personal best on Zone F, getting +72.8mil from the whole zone, and +42.3mil from Phantom Castle itself before the final form. 235mil+ is a feasible target for CFJ, and about 180mil+ for CFK on this route.

A little bit mistake in the end of ZONE H, miss the score of 2 middle gunships.
I will continue to research the way about counter all parts of Lighting Claw, it is very hard to do this.

BTW, I find a strange thing, maybe it is a bug, when you are horizontally flying the top and botton boundary, your aircraft will not horizontally flying absolutely, it will move to the middle screen actually but just a little bit distance, looks like there is a air wall block the aircraft movement.

Welcome back boys... Updated

A little mistake in the battle of Violent Ruler, so just defeat it with x90 rather than x96, losing 600.000pts

I want get 180 millions in this route but it is very hard to achieve, whatever, shooting game need to play sustainably, you can not always be lucky, especially score DBAC. You want get a high score?! It depends on Violent Ruler!!

I would love to see a replay of this
Updated...

Started on AC today (not counting ADH because I've messed around there several times). Have some shitscores. I felt like CS would prepare me for AC mode, and it didn't. Well, I mean, boss patterns I have down now for the most part (no-damaged Great Thing but didn't get even a burst kill so... oops), but the stages just wreck me. I'll definitely be improving these once I figure out where to start.
