So many modes.... but I'll put a shitty Arcade Normal score on here that I know I'll improve, just to bump the topic. :mrgreen: I wanna put time into beating the Original Mode and Arcade+ on Cruis'n as well. I'm glad I can finally get a little deeper into this game since i've always enjoyed it even in my credit-feedin' days.

I messed up the boss milk which cost me easily 2-3 million. Which is why I say this will be better in the near future. Be on the lookout!

Have some updates to share! Big boosts all around as I got better and better at the game in the Calice Cup tournament.

I wanted to crack into 2-2 but this loop's bullet speeds are sooooo fast. :(
I wish I had recorded it, but nonetheless it went off about as perfect as I could have hoped, given my skill.

I've also been playing a lot of the Steam version since it's a bit easier to make progress in that thanks to the rebalancing. However the steam version removing the final boss milking safespot is so cruel. It makes it so much harder to have your score jump up. I'm sure there's a work-around but I need to experiment on it.

Are you sure that Antwon score is correct? Why does my score table show something different? :o

This one even comes with a video recording I made last night, since there is not much footage of 'decent' play of the CruisinMix port on youtube:
Game Tengoku CruisinMix Arcade+ 1ALL (Selia)

I want to play more Miki (the UFO) in the Steam version, since you can use her now in Arcade+ mode vs being a Saturn original mode exclusive. She's really fun to play as! Has a good charge shot, a great bomb, and a unique playstyle. Her bomb means that she can cash out effectively on stage 5's power pellet spam whereas Selia struggles due to a weaker bomb.

Good run, except for that one death on 2-3 due to nerves. :oops:

Decided to mess around with Clarice. Her shot, uh, kind of sucks ass, so you need to (IMO) use an option like Jeynus, or Pig, or Homura Banto to compensate for the lack of a consistent forward fire.

On the plus side, despite having a slow-deploying homing shot, the shot itself is strong, and her bomb is somewhat like Jeynus' (except not as strong it seems), so she can do a few of the scoring "tricks" that MauCast demonstrated so admirably in his replays.

The "mysterious" JackTengoku has 15 million with her as the top score on steam (is it the top score in the world? Can a PS4 owner with Clarice DLC check the leaderboards?). I think I can do better, if I try.

Is it a little gauche to double-post an update before the first was entered? Why not! Consider it a free bump and show of interest in the game!

I have been taking some cues from MauCast's replay to use a few strategic bombs to maximize my eggplant gain. In this particular credit, I died right before the giant point bonanza in 1-5, the pac man power pellet flood. In an earlier practice credit-feeding session, I was able to confirm that Clarice's bomb works just as well for this scoring opportunity as does Jeynus' which means that she can reap the reward of all those dozens of nasu, which amounts to maybe 2-3 million? Of course you just have to be careful you don't set things off too soon, or die from the loads of bullets thrown at you.

That same credit-feeding practice wasn't able to find a significantly good way to pull off the milk in the port (due to the safespot being removed). Which is a shame. I am holding out hope that something can be found as a workaround, but without a way to do meaningful stage/boss practice, it's a slog to get to that point and not even have the proper rank setting for it.

Wanted to wait till I broke 10 million perhaps, but with the holidays for us yanks approaching I am not sure when I would play the game next.

A nice big PB increase! Pretty soon I think I will be overtaking my old Selia score.

I think I am getting pretty close to breaking 10 million, before even reaching the final boss! It's exciting me to the prospect of being within spitting distance of the number 1 spot... all before the second loop begins! I don't have much experience with the second loop so I am sure there is a lot of heartache left in getting past that 15 million point number. But my play is thus far very encouraging.

The sticking point, scorewise, is making the most out of 1-3's asteroids and 1-5's pellets. The latter is hard to get the timing down. I also want to try and maximize my gains from the final boss. MauCast, I am sure you don't remember what you generally got from it? Maybe you can get 2 million, using your bombs or something.

I know it's way less due to how the safe spot has been axed. I've been trying all sorts of strategies to milk the boss without damaging it too much but it hasn't really worked out. Adding to that, the lack of effective practice options don't make it easier, either.

Not posting a score here, but it just came to my attention that in the CruisinMix port for whatever reason, Momoko has a new charge shot if the voice setting is on "Classic" and not "Arcade" in the game settings of Arcade+ mode. I don't know if this is mentioned ANYWHERE, but as someone who switched voices and music to Arcade when I first got the game (played Arcade original after all), I wouldn't have dreamed ever that a voice setting can affect any character whatsoever. Momoko seems to be the only one affected by this, but her new charge shot is way better than her old one due to it's single target focus, fire and forget projectile, and simply does more damage. Did anyone else know about this before me?
