Re: RQ: Ketsui X mode
The chips you get depend on how many options are locked on to the enemy. So two locks gives two chips, and four locks gives four chips. If you want to get five chips you need to get all four options locked on and then destroy the enemy while you are close to it, probably the same range you would need to be for five chips in the regular game.
The chain timer goes up every time you destroy an enemy, but you'll get even more time if you destroy an enemy with the normal shot. Taking out a red enemy with the normal shot while you have a chain going will give a huge boost to your timer. Switch to the normal shot when you need to extend your chain.
I don't think suicide bullets count for anything until you get the blue suicide bullets. If you can get to 240 million points without dying the suicide bullets turn blue and you can no longer cancel them with your laser. On the plus side, every suicide bullet you create is worth 10,000 points and your stage end bonuses will be doubled. Once you die they go back to normal and you can no longer face true Doom at the end.
Another trick is to max out the boss counter at 9999. Once it's maxed out every chip you collect is worth 10,000 points, so it's important to cancel as many bullets as you can.
I'm pretty sure the empty lock is pointless in this mode, so you won't need to worry about it.
Here's a video that will show you pretty much all of these things http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD8oORtPH-s
