S.S - 302,996,091 - ALL - Panzer Jager - MAME

Finally got Omote down after four years of pain and frustration. Nearly despaired when a misbomb denied me the 1up in 2-5 but I was determined to win.

Here's the replay, recorded with Shmupmame v2.2. When I tried to play the .inp back it would sometimes desync in 2-5 for no apparent reasons, so I've attached the nvram file as well.

Congrats on the clear. You want to do the ura loop, won't you?

IIRC you lost the 1up because Tiger Schwert ran away, right? So while I failed to get the extend due to my mistake, in your case it's purely because bad luck, right?

Probably not. Ura is too hard for my skill and playing for score in the first loop doesn't make it any easier. I know how much effort you had to put in before you cleared ura and I don't think I could do the same.

This was strangely unsatisfying. A lot of poor bombs and bad deaths. I know I can do a lot better.

238 I think. Pretty good for me. I seem to hit around 238-240 every time, my stage bests adding up to about 246. I've never bothered to learn how to empty lock the shit out of everything, so my first loop scores don't really improve much.

MrMonkeyMan, your work on this game is an inspiration. BTW, will you ever go back to ESPGALUDA?

I've thought about it. Sometimes when I go on a long streak where I fail to make the Ura loop, I despair and think "why don't I play something easier like ESPGaluda?", but I've practiced the Ura loop so much it would be a shame not to get one really good run out of it. So probably not, but maybe.

Isn't that always the worst? At least you know you should be able to easily improve on it. Keep it up :D

I do use empty lock, but if you've watched a run by SPS he empty locks pretty much every small plane and tank, it's crazy. I mostly only use it on a few large enemies that are easier to empty lock than most.

My Ura loop scoring technique is don't die and try to destroy high value enemies with the lock shot.

Hah, definitely not easy. I just want to get to 2-4 without dying and then have a decent finish.

Absolutely no idea where this run came from. Haven't played the game in months, put this in and got it on the first credit.
Glad to go past the 200 mil mark.

hey i'm finally playing shooting games again.
and i beat an old pb from 2008. :D

CRI - 207,440,210 - 2-4 (Omote) - Tiger Schwert - X360 Arcade
Image

this run started really strange and i did many mistakes that i normally don't do. (normally i start stage 1-4 with 85m)
but somehow it ended up being my best run ever.
i bombed so much at the loop because my nerves were over the top.
this run was really awesome for me. got that nice old shmup adrenalin feeling. (just look at the stage 2-3 1up) :)

here is the replay:

Thanks both of you :)
The cpo will fit a New Astro City cab, the green colour buttons and ball top reminds the cubes in Ketsui and it will be perfect with the Astros cabs who has a lot of green I think !

I did not expect this at all, it was just a quick game at the arcade. Only after doing the last boss first pattern I saw that I had enough stock to clear the game. Took me by surprise, started yelling afterwards. Maybe I'll try to unlock the loop, one day.

Started playing again a few days ago, finally joined the 100M club (then promptly blew the 1CC opportunity on the boss)

japtor - 101,784,451 - 1-5 - Panzer Jager - PCB

I had a better run going with about 98M after the midboss but completely blew it on the descent. Oh well, nice to see I can still make some progress after all these years.

I played Ketsui last year during almost 2 months, a great game, I'll certainly come back to it this year :D

My final high score was:
volaju - Stage 1-5 BOSS Type A - 105.081.050

But I recorded only one of my previous run:
volaju - Stage 1-5 MID-BOSS Type A - 92.347.914

First time into ura after a few months of playing this. Got a fairly decent first loop route in terms of balancing safety and scoring so now need to properly learn a 2nd loop.
