5 days and 28 mil ? Damn, I've had the game for 2+ years and only reached 20 mil ! What the hell is wrong with me ?!

Anyway, my complements to your skills.

Took a break from DOJ (and shmups in general) for a while but decided to give the game a few runs today and got a new high score for myself.

Ha, I have no skills. I just wait until Lady Luck gets tired of my swearing and decides to grant me a decent score before I post anything.

But thank you.

played a bit his week-end, i got the loose formation thrice in a row on the 4th boss!
i also died at 1% health at the bee, in a different game
more encouraging, i did a 2700+ combo in st5 in simulation

Well after taking a DOJ break I put in around 5 hours on it today and, for the first time, completely chained and no missed the first two stages.

chtimi-CLA · Post by **chtimi-CLA** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 8:47 am

finally made it to the second loop (died in 2-1)
not only do they take your stock ships, you also start with the initial max bomb ie. 1 for exy. on the other hand is it me or the combo meter empties slower?

I've also been playing this game for about 5 hours today (well, Sunday). I'm happy enough with my score to post, seeing as how I've hit a new wall in terms of scoring and progress:

Triple Lei - 129,729,750 - A-E - 1-5 - 1449 Hit

(pics removed due to new higher score - see below)

Nice work on the 1st loop clear, chtimi! And actually, I do remember reading about the combo meter bar emptying slower. Possibly from BER.

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 3:17 pm

Yeah, the combo meter is a lot slower in the 2nd loop. You can actually chain the whole of 2-3 with the help of a well timed hyper.

Stage 2 is starting to come together, but seem to be getting worse at 3 and 4. Switching to A type has helped chaining.

All updates should be done. Let me know if I missed anything.

chtimi-CLA · Post by **chtimi-CLA** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 1:49 pm

considering the mushihime thread fiasco, i think stahlfeder's score should be removed from this ranking as well.

edit:
also, from now on, let's post score pics with the internet code shown to prove we're on defaults ok?

scratch that
ch'timi - 386,099,010 - A-E - 2-1 - 2044 Hit
the 2044 was in stage 5 hence the score. i would have broken 400 if i didn't break the stage 2 combo at the 2 big tanks before the flowers..

What's this? I don't read the forums much anymore so I missed this. I'd rather not have to resort to requiring pics.

Pretty sad that anyone would gain satifaction from being the fake leader of a high score board like this.

i meant if we are posting pics in the first place, then we should post them with internet code displayed, because it doesn't cost anything more and shows you were on defaults for the highlighted score. I agree with you that necessarily requiring pics is a bad idea.
i was talking about the score faking drama that was splitted into a "shmups chat" thread "the stahlfeder controversy" or something.
i agree with you that it's sad, it not the first time either, some dude was using save states on cave emulated games (for score runs)

but enough about this, let's talk about doj.

8 1/2 · Post by **8 1/2** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 6:50 pm

OK, here's the new deal. Anyone posting a score that cracks the top 5 needs to include a screenshot. Once you've done this once you don't need to keep including pics unless you want to. All others will be updated automatically. I'm not going to be too harsh about this, but this is my favorite videogame of all time and I hate the idea of a questionable high score board.

For now I'm going to take off stahlfeder's score until he can come up with a screenshot to prove himself.

(death / score)

This is SOOO depressing... I died with a friggin' HYPER! I thought I could squeeze through a gap I made by luring the bullets to the side, but I didn't make it. I probably should have used it, but I didn't get this far by not taking risks!

As usual, I captured this play session so I'll be uploading the replay just in case people are interested...

Died within pixels of the final boss. Seriously... the music was fading out!

Here's the video of me letting my nerves get the best of me:

(thinking of throwing the replay on YouTube too...)

that place isn't that easy, especially if you want to grab the last bee you have to be aggressive, and it takes a while to read the pattern well.
yesterday i started 1-5 with 4 hypers but i broke at the usual spot in the bee hive (that left bee with zako coming from the right, forgot to herd them)

Triple Lei · Post by **Triple Lei** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 10:35 pm

Well, that was sort of encouraging...

But, here's my replay. You can tell me where it all falls apart:

Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5

that was encouraging the DOJ way.
about your replays, if that's what your asking at the end of stage 5, it is when
the first row of two simultaneous big ships appears that you fuck up: you stay at the bottom of the screen and dodge the blue bullets from the right one there instead of avoiding them completely a bit higher and to the left, then continuing to the left lasering to the inner side of the left one, moving up to grab the bee after that.
the part i said was hard to read was succesfully avoiding the blue bullets, since you're high you have to see them fast. it does become possible with practice though.

Hey Triple Lei- what do you use to record your PS2 replays, and how much does it all cost? (you can send me a pm so as to not clutter the thread if you want)

This game gets harder as you get better at it- it really punishes my habit of going into "autopilot mode" when I'm negotiating familiar territory.
