I don't think you really missed much though since it seemed like most people were playing the game for the very first time and were pretty clueless on what to do. It's pretty funny since most other shmups they have had used to have lots of pretty high level players all the time. I guess the game is just not very well known.

Thanks for the uploads Erppo.
Makes me want to get access to the MMP board and take out that 1 looper Manpuku record.

It doesn't beat my 1-ALL score, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

This would have been higher probably had I not suicided in 2-1 for the buggy first extend because the fucking game didn't give it to me! There's the last time I make that mistake.

I played another credit and was reminded that once you reach the loop on the PCB, you no longer get extends on subsequent credits. Dumb buggy game. At least I left my mark on the cab and ruined the runs for the other players.

Wow. Is that the forum's first second loop score? Well done!

You got that first loop no miss after all. Good job!
Gonna try and get a full 2-ALL?

WOW... great work NTSC-J... let me add this to opening page

I have no idea why you wouldn't get the extend. The WR Momo run has the 1 score extend in the loop. It's probably worth doing the suicide anyway and hoping the extend works unless of course you have more than 2 bombs in stock somehow.

I do wonder if the 1-up from stage 3 midboss can glitch on the PCB since I'd had runs where I killed it with Lard Shot in 1.01(Loop 2 where it doesn't need to be empty) still not get it.


Almost makes me want to try relearning a route for it. I was using Rafute but was only able to get up to stage 1-4 boss without a death as my best. I would probably want to switch and get used to Momo though since I think Rafute has some issues with her shot that hurts her in the loop. Rafute is definitely easier to loop with, but I think Momo is better for survival after that. Ikuo just seems bad for it though.

Thanks guys!


Yeah, I'm going to keep pushing on. This particular run was kind of a mess in the loop after that bungled suicide, but I have a route that carries me through to the 2-ALL pretty safely, but I still need to practice 2-4 and 2-5 more.



I realized why and now I feel dumb: it's because the cab was set to extends every 5,000,000. Technically, I wasn't playing on default settings so my score should be invalid, but for 1.0 loop runs it makes no difference since you have to no-miss the first loop and extends are cut off in the loop. Do I get a pass?


I've never had that happen, but I wouldn't doubt it with this game (and that port). Are you sure you didn't kill it when he was at the bottom of the screen? If the boss is too far down when the autoscroll moves up, you won't get the 1UP.


Ikuo is tough, but I'm so used to her at this point there's no going back. Getting the no-miss took me a long time and much more routing than I thought I would need initially. It's all about bomb hoarding, particularly for tough, RNG heavy sections like the 1-4 boss.

Does a video exist of someone 2-ALLing the 1.0 version of this game? Also massive congrats NTSC-J for the first second loop score!

This is the 1.0 Momo WR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtgQMRmbFI

That might be an issue because of the extra lives earlier on would increase the rank even more. Which could mean more bullets canceled and other stuff before you would have hit max normally.

But it's still impressive to loop and actually make it that far the first time.

That's true, but I have max lives 2/3rds through 1-2 anyway and my score was the same as on normal settings (around 35,000,000 at the end of 1-2) so any difference would end up being less than 1,000,000 points. Also, I would argue that the differences between the 360 port and the "gold standard" PCB on factory settings are much greater.

At any rate, CHI, feel free to put an asterisk on the score or scrap it entirely until I do another run. It would probably be in MAME because my 360 is packed away and that goofy PCB is the only one in town I know of since my local arcade got rid of the game last week . But if there's still some controversy about the emulation, I'm not sure I want to bother with that version either if it isn't considered legit.

It isn't easy being a Pork player, let me tell you.

Big Congrats NTSC-J!

It counts for me. A no miss 1.0 first loop is a no miss whether the extends are correct or not. For purity I guess some more runs on default life setting is a good idea, and you're gonna improve on this run anyway.

Great Stuff.

Good Job NTSC-J



Up for me !

ARCADE - ALFARABI - 152 792 930 - 5 - Ikuo

Thanks again, guys. And nice score, ALFARABI!


I appreciate it, DEL.

I'm now scouring the net for arcades in this city that have the game (on default settings...) and it's pretty dire. One place on the other side of town has it in their library and will plug it in on request, but knowing my luck, I'll get there and it'll be long gone. I also sent an email to the JHA to ask where I could find it, but haven't gotten a response. I may just have to badger my local arcade until they get the game back. The struggle continues!

Ah! I think I remember JHA from London...
Yeah, you need to find one while you're all practised-up! Strike while the iron's hot n' all that.
I've been playing a few credits recently. Only a little rusty.
Uploaded 4 new Manpuku 2-ALL vids, based on the old footage. I guess it'll remain relevant until someone knocks me of the Manpuku XBOX Live podium
