Mushihime-sama & 1.5 (PCB / PS2 / X360)

[Smraedis]

Oh so close... if only I could clear with 4 extra lives...

PS2 Arrange
Smraedis - 931,798,054 - ALL - (Lx3) (Rapid Fire)

[Smraedis]

Didn't restart while getting hit in the middle of Stage 3, also got hit before the Stage 5 boss, so lots of points were lost, and somehow I finished it with 4 lives...

PS2 Arrange
Smraedis - 998,962,117 - ALL - (Lx4) (Rapid Fire)

[Smraedis]

Well I did it!
It took me a full bomb stock into the True Last Boss, and then I finished with 0 bombs left, after slipping up on the final pattern.
Thankfully I had the spare bombs to still get the Lx4.

PS2 Arrange
Smraedis - 1,052,096,800 - ALL - (Lx4) (Rapid Fire)

[Aquas]

Well done SM!

Everything is up to date.

[Smraedis]

Thanks!
What about the Top Scores section at the top? My rapid settings are A+2, C+2.

Ver. 1.5 Original MAX
No auto

Softdrink 117 - 83,771,051 - ALL (Lx0) - X360



This was a really fun clear. Original MAX gets very intense towards the end... dat bullet speed. Might try pushing this a bit further, but the reliance on point blanking as the main scoring technique is a little off putting. We'll see.

[Softdrink 117]

Sorry about the crap pics.

Ver 1.5 Maniac MAX
No auto

Softdrink 117 - 775,482,190 - 5 - X360



Finally made it to the stage 5 midboss in Maniac MAX. I can make it to the stage 4 midboss somewhat reliably now, so I think the clear is within reach. Maybe.

And, separately, a vanilla Mushihime-sama score:

Standard Ultra
No auto

Softdrink 117 - 31,227,032 - 4 - X360



Ultra is fun. This run was totally crazy; I've only been practicing stages 1 and 2 routinely so far, so all of stage 3 was improvised. It was totally awesome.

What mode are you playing? Original, Maniac, Ultra? Max or not? I'm guessing Original.

Otherwise scoreboard is up to date.

New Maniac MAX score. Still not able to clear, but I'm getting much better at overall survival and score play.

[Aquas]

Updated with the last 3 scores.

[Kollision]

One question: which is considered harder, vanilla or 1.5 Mushi (original)?

[trap15]

If I recall correctly, the difficulty order is, from hardest to easiest, 1.5 MAX > 1.0 > 1.5

[Kollision]

Tks

I just fired up Mushi again and breezed through 1.5 Original
I thought "geez, I don't remember this thing being so easy"

but what an awesome game this is, holy fucking shit I LOVE IT

EDIT: sorry, I meant 1.5

RaidenViper's score added.

I've been playing Maniac mode lately thanks to emulation and getting a chance here and there to play on ookitarepanda's PCB. I managed 198 Mil in Maniac mode after a couple more attempts this week. Such an awesome mode, I can't explain it but my tapping techniques are even better now that I'm playing on stick. Used to play on a PS2 pad on the port back in the day... a personal favorite. Still fun. More people should try Maniac.

[Softdrink 117]

Finally broke 100m! I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of this mode. Definitely need to start watching replays and working on improving my route and technique, but I can clear relatively consistently now, and I'm beginning to understand the scoring a bit. Mushihime-sama is definitely one of my favorites... great atmosphere, all 3 modes are highly enjoyable, and there is so much variety. It's awesome to finally feel like I'm starting to grasp the Maniac/Ultra scoring system.



Vanilla Maniac

Softdrink 117 - 100,903,801 - ALL (Lx2) - X360

(Also Aquas, am I misreading the score tables or do you have the 1.5 Maniac MAX scores out of order?)

[Aquas]

Yes it was out of order, thanks for noticing. Score added.

If people haven't noticed, the 20 entry limit for each category is lifted so if you have a score that doesn't stack greatly but you're still proud, please post it.

Seriously ? You hunt my scores ?

[deexor]

I probably won't play this mode much more, just wanted the no-miss clear. 1.5 Maniac maybe.

[Y'om]

haha, you want counterstop maniac mode ? :p

A rainy afternoon's effort. I understand why it could be fun to squeeze out another 2 million, but it's not for me. I'm not sure about the autofire settings. I didn't use rapid fire at all, but I put shot on autofire manually. I didn't use auto C at all.

[Plasmo]

1.5 Original
Plasmo - 289,533,859 - Stage 4 - 360/ON

WIP score.

This is the heaviest memorizer I have ever played. Ikaruga/DDP chaining, Psikyo loops or Last Hope can go home.

I'm not quite sure I understand your score here Plasmo

If you play Mushihimesama (first mushi) 1.5 (Matsuri) in Original, and you end up with a 289 millions score at stage 4, you are having twice the word record.

Did you mistaken with Futari 1.5 ?
