Ketsui - Arcade and X360 Arrange

[wnka]

My best so far from a few weeks ago



PDP - 92,408,793 - 1-ALL - Tiger - PCB

Last week I managed to pull off back-to-back 1-ALLs with the different ship types. Crazy how close the scores are. Need to practice and get a loop.

Update:

Aquas - 151,738,276 - 2-3 Omote - Tiger Schwert - PCB

That 2-3 was a beautiful run. I can't believe you got that extend in 2-3 from the Battleship, and then some cheap bastard sniped you. So sad.

Yeah I probably could have gotten to the boss, but 2-3 Boss is a real jerk. I don't think 1 bomb would have cut it. I was surprised I got the 1up, too. It just kind of happened. 2-3 is a big PITA and it's only a prelude of 2-4 and 2-5. We'll see what I can come up with in the next couple weeks I guess. The nice thing is is that I can keep improving on my loop 1 score a bit and aim for URA, if the Omote is too discouraging (both loops are, anyway.) I'm kind of getting the feel for empty lock now, too.

So what you're saying is, I have to keep it in the cab a while

Another score, another flood post. Will probably end up editing this post as more improvements come, too. And I think it would be cooler to have a PCB score up instead of a Mame score, but regardless:

Steady progress it looks. 2-3 won't hold you long, however be prepared for 2-4, there'll be tough fights on your way to 2-5.

After that, the game becomes a complete delight and pleasure. And will encourage you to advance into ura loop.

Just for the ura clear's sake. Kind of lucky run. Score is lower than my best at 434mil, but I believe a clear with 450mil is quite possible so I'll keep working on this.

1st loop finished with a modest 250mil, killed 2-1boss with a bomb before wc. started recording.

Hope I can get a full run recorded but seems nobody at the local arcade bothers with capturing random retry attempts.

[MrMonkeyMan]

Nice. Got me cheering at the end of 2-3. It always feels great to loop around the top of the screen and survive. There's some crazy dodging going on in 2-5 as well.

[pestro87]

Thank you for uploading this, x91 and congrats on the clear! It was truly inspiring to watch!

[Aquas]

That was an awesome run!

First time on the loop.

OUTDATED: Aquas - 186,522,454 - 2-4 Omote - Tiger Schwert - ShmupMAME 4.2



Was really gunning for 200M or 2-5 in the Omote but I goofed pretty hard going into Omote with 5 lives in stock. I died twice in 2-1 losing 7 bombs and was all over the place, straying from my route in 2-2 and 2-3. Then game overing on 2-4 Boss with 2 bombs and no lives. I'm confident I can get 200M soon though. Still, it's a noticeable improvement from 164M.

After I got the new hi I wasn't hitting Omote anymore. Another day. Well, in a week or so I'm gonna play on PCB again, hopefully I can hit 200M there. Ura is a possibility for me, but the pressure of hitting it is a little too high at this moment.

About that proper clear I owed. Lx0 Bx0

x91 - 436,586,017 - URA ALL - Tiger Schwert - PCB



And still far from perfect.

[emphatic]

I loved that video, X91. Great work!!!

Aquas - 217,748,785 - 2-5 Omote - Tiger Schwert - PCB



2-ALL coming once I improve my 2-5.

[Bonus!]

zakk,

It seems there is a slight problem with the hiscore tables: I noticed that you've listed scores from the regular table that were achieved on Xbox also in a separate X-Mode table. But isn't this wrong? The X-mode is the arranged mode, which implies that the Xbox scores for the arcade mode should be in the first table, and the second should be exclusively for scores that were achieved on the X mode, not the arcade mode on X360.

[x91]

This should be my last input here in the thread. 450mil URA clear as requested.



x91 - 450,105,708 - URA ALL - Tiger Schwert - PCB

Now to find something else to carry on

[Gus]

"as requested." So badass,man

Great shit.

[MrMonkeyMan]

This should be my last input here in the thread. 450mil URA clear as requested.

Haha, that's perfect, thanks! I have no more requests. I am satisfied.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

Yeah, I don't get why the arcade mode scores in the port are listed under the X-Mode table, X-Mode's got completely different scoring mechanics and is an arrange of the original game, not just a port of the arcade mode. X-Mode doesn't even loop as far as I know!

[nZero]

Amazing, wish I could've seen that.

Jesus fucking christ Great work man! Can't wait to see what you'll destroy next!

[japtor]

Took nine years but I finally cleared Ketsui...granted I wasn't playing most of the nine years, but still! There was a near clear at one point years ago too, that'll no longer haunt me.

japtor - 82,546,143 - 1-ALL - Panzer Jager - PCB



And now I need to do it on a good scoring run. I was like 10M off what I can do through stage 4, so I figure my peak is probably in the 90-100M range if I can get everything together.

[jepjepjep]

Congrats japtor!

[japtor]

Thanks! And now my 1CC is relegated to only my second highest score:

japtor - 89,245,877 - 1-5 - Panzer Jager - PCB

Died a bit after the shaft by the helicopter missiles, looks like my 90-100M prediction is in the right ballpark.

[japtor]

And 90M it is! On another 1CC no less, actually did it again. Had 89M before the end bonus so just barely got to 90M.



japtor - 90,114,890 - 1-ALL - Panzer Jager - PCB

[emphatic]

This should be my last input here in the thread. 450mil URA clear as requested.

You amaze me, sir.

[japtor]

Got the urge to play again:

japtor - 93,493,671 - 1-5 - Panzer Jager - PCB



I think I want to go for 95 and 100M now that it seems possible. Blew a ridiculous amount of lives on the last midboss on that run.

I have been playing this a bit lately and It's starting to click. After several 90 mil runs I finally got a 100 mil run! I feel like trying to loop is the next step, but that's difficult, I am not good enough at the survival...

No more submissions from me until I can loop the damn thing

Looped! But the score is awful, 200 mil is the next goal
