Battle Garegga
Hope you don't mind if I resurrect this thread.
Punkfox - 6,333,090 - Stage 5 - Golden Bat
I've really been working on this game since I picked up the Saturn version, and I'm finding it much more playable than I ever did using MAME.
I'm still working on practicing rank-reducing strategies since I have a fair grasp of how the game functions. Here's to hoping for a 1CC before the end of the summer. :-p

Input delay in emulation is very dependant upon the controller you are using.Vorpal wrote:Ahh I'm jealous. I wish I had the PCB or Saturn versions, because when emulated the "input delay" becomes very noticable around stage 6 when the bullet spam starts. While it's my favorite shooter, I no longer play it competitively for that reason.
Good luck and may you succeed where I did not
When I use PS2->USB adaptors (or PC gamepads), I notice the delay and cannot stand it. However, using a keyboard interface (IPAC4 in my case), I do not notice any lag and it plays as good as anything else.

Hey, good stuff! Grats on a good Gain score. ^_^Twiddle wrote:Twiddle - 7,168,620 - Stage 6 - Gain (A+B+C)
Inching away at this!
I just put up a preliminary write up for Stage 6 on the strategy thread, which should give you a good idea of how to tackle every Garegga player's nemesis: the turret wall (along with the rest of the stage), if you're interested. Keep it up, the end is in sight! ^_-

Even though I said I wasn't going to compete anymore due to input-delay frustrations, I couldn't stop playing this damn game ;o
edit: I can now reliably take down Stage 6 boss, but I lost my "touch" on the wall of death lately and keep losing a life there. Also keep losing a life at the spot in stage 6 where 3 heavy missile tanks come out from the left side, bleh.
However, I can live with this, if I could stop dying at random stupid moments inbetween. I had a 5 life stock when I entered stage 6... so 1 on the wall of death, 1 of the missile tanks, then usually 1 life lost at the mini wall of death on stage 7, leaves 2 lives to spare on Black Heart Mk II. If I get that "perfect" run where I only lose lives at these moments, I think I can 1CC this... as in savestate runs I have killed Glow Squid without dying.
Off I go to fill more HD space with botched replays.

Ok, I haven't posted scores in a while now so here's some. I am the previously-named "Guwanger" so change it in concordance with the scores below.
I almost never played with Gain so I played a bit with him and really wanted to know how bad the rank could go. So I fired non-stop, lost 0 lives and came at max power at Stage 6, just to see what was happening. No need to say it has been "The Official Vincere's Slaughterfest". I lost 6 or 7 lives in 3 minutes ha ha ha.
Still here's the score I got:
D-ku VCR - 6 393 050 - stage 6 - Gain (A+B+C)
Otherwise I'm a regular Golden Bat player so here's my top score at the moment:
D-Ku VCR - 6 713 060 - stage 6 - Golden Bat
Finally, 2 requests:
-Rando, could you just write which ship's name is associated with which button? For exemple, I don't know for Gain so I wrote (A+B+C). Thank you.
-I watched my ranking page (playing it on saturn) and aside the score was some figures like 08/08, 10/19 etc. What does it mean?

I can only guess that those numbers represent the day in wich the score was obtained..."-I watched my ranking page (playing it on saturn) and aside the score was some figures like 08/08, 10/19 etc. What does it mean?"
However, your score isn't so great, but I think it's a good score because you reached stage 6....
I think the key in this game it's especially in rank managing, and think that the most frequent cause of rank jumping it's the loss of the medal chain...
If you lose your medal chain, you have to grab small medals that affect heavily your rank, especially if you grab tons of them destroying the releasing structures, like the rails in stage 3...
Probably, for us biginner it's better to focus on medal chain and powerups limitation, and some boss milking too... bah, this game punishes me without pity whatever strategy I use
But I like it the same [/quote]
No, these score have been made this week actually. And I didn't claim my scores are any good (even if I think so to a certain extent).stratos wrote:

Of course, I were not provoking, it was only a technical commentAnd I didn't claim my scores are any good (even if I think so to a certain extent).
And I think it's a good score to a certain extent, and in Battle Garegga these are really good achievements. I never saw stage 6 myself in a 1cc run
Good luck

I have a higher score where i got to stage 7, but I didn't write it down because I'm stupid. I'm sure I'll break it soon though with the amount of garregga I've been playing lately.

Yay! Got this game in the mail today. Don't really have any "worthy" scores to throw up right now (my last run ended at the boss of level 4 and I only had 2.5 million I think, prolly would've beat him too had I not had some horribly stupid deaths at the level 3 boss), but I will definitely be doing some strategy guide reading this weekend so I can figure out the "correct" way to play the game.
RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!!!!
