I'll throw in my chips to this little comp. What difficulty setting are you on, is weapon edit frowned upon, I use the type 1 set-up but my missiles are the two-way type. What does "1cc" stand for? and what does the first number in the stage were you made it represent? Does it stand for the first loop through. How many continue's am I allowed? What if I continue and get a higher score in the next levels before I might continue again?
The farthest I've made it on one life was Stage 5 boss and that was tough. It's not so much Stage 5 or the boss, it's freakin' Stage 4. Stage 4 boss isn't all that tough either? I'm better at Stage 6 than that bullshit!!!

Forget the setting, play your game in the SCORE ATTACK mode.ThunderForce wrote:I'll throw in my chips to this little comp.

Heed these words, for they hold true for every high-score thread in our beloved forums.ThunderForce wrote:I'll throw in my chips to this little comp.
1) Thou shall use defaults. Thou shalt not use other settings for difficulty, lives or others that make the game easier for you. But heed the words of the thread-holder, for S/He is the Lord Almighty in these matters.
2) "1CC" stands for "one credit clear". Thou shalt use only one, and one credit only. Thou shalt not continue.
3) Thou shalt use common sense, look upon the previous score submissions for wisdom and enlightenment.
4) Thou shalt follow the format provided by the thread-holder, the Lord Almighty, as it's easier for him/her to edit it your score.
Follow these guidelines, and thou shalt receive thy seat in Shmupping Heaven, and maybe get on the high-score list as well. Amen brotha.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Highlights:
- First death was at stage 4.
- On my way to the boss rush of stage 6, I slammed into a mini-core, and while I was destroying Zubs for powerup capsules, I forgot about my options and lost them. I started off against Rolling Core with just 2 options.
- I game over'd at Big Core mk3, because I didn't pay attention to where the bouncing lasers were travelling, and one of them hit me.
Words of advice:
- Believe in yourself! How can you get past a certain section of the game if you can't put your mind to it?
- Don't give up! Don't let a death or losing options faze you!
- Sometimes, if you have your powerup bar on the FF slot, and you are low on FF, just deplete your current FF and get a new one. Otherwise you may get into the middle of a bullet storm and not have enough reacting time to activate the new one.

Type 4--Stage 2-5--2,990,550 (only died once on loop 1 )
Type 2--Stage 2-3--2,774,700
Type 3--Stage 2-2--2,393,790
Type 1--Stage 2-1--2,165,580
This is from awhile ago. I've been meaning to have 1 or two runs through this game sometime soon. I played it a few days ago and I had forgotten how awesome it was. I really want to 1CC it on Very Hard, but I doubt that'll be possible for awhile.
I also want to see if I can get through the game with some retarded edit like flame shooter and the ugly shield made of balls.
Those Ben shinobi no options videos on the superplay site are amazing. If anyone hasn't seen them yet, they're worth downloading

W00t! a new high score for me, i switched my settings to defaults and got this:
type 2 1,126,390 1-5
damn, i never died before the middle of level 5 and after that i started hitting walls and well generally sucking ah, i even got a better score that the one i got on much easier settings... I find level 4 very easy nowadays, you just need some memorisation ( the snake things, yes... )
lol i pretty much suck at every shmup other than this and im getting better at this slowly but surely.
btw, what weapons do you use on weapon edit? i prefer type 2 but if something on weapon edit is better...
type 2 1,126,390 1-5

Geez man, I just got this game the other day and it is simply gorgeous. However, my score is only about 400k right now at the spider boss as I am Gradially retarded. I don't know if I'll be 1CCing this, as even after only a few games it already takes 15-20 minutes to do a game and that's just exhausting. But still, I think this is one of the best Gradii I have seen.
