Holy fuck! How much are you playing this.
It took me years to 1-ALL this game in super-scrub form.

If I remember correctly, MrMonkeyMan was getting to 2-4 on the Tsuujou loop within 3 weeks of getting the game.

True Cave skills.

Maybe 5 hours a week? I usually put in a couple credits and then end up credit feeding all the way through the Tsuujou loop once in a sitting. So usually around an hour everytime I put it on.

The Tsuujou loop doesn't seem so bad now. It definitely feels like I might be able to clear it if I can stop losing all my lives on 2-3 and the 2-4 boss. I say this even though I've never even made it to 2-5...

I think it took me 4 or 5 weeks to make the loop, but I like the sound of 3 weeks. Too bad I couldn't match SYO's 7 months to 1cc the Ura loop.

EDIT
I checked and it looks like it was around 5 weeks. Also, it was one year ago today that Valgar first made the Ura loop. What can we expect for March of 2008?

Me making it to any loop!

I bought this board when I was somewhat of a Cave virgin. Well... at least playing them competitively. That was likely my first mistake. Might break it out again sometime soon. W/ a screaming kid though, games that don't pause are not very smart to play.

@DEL:
I see this and Mushi Original in your 1CC list. You a semi-Cave hater?

Oh and Mush Maniac at just below 300mil a couple of years ago

I don't hate Cave at all, its just some of their 'chaining' scoring engines force you to exactly copy robotic routes eg. DOJ/Guwange, which is not my idea of fun or freedom. I explained this recently on Shmups Chat, but I do like Ketsui and Mush

.
You have to really like a game to bother to put the hours in and master it, and I have not decided to do this on any Cave game so far.

I will put a few credits in Ketsui over the coming weeks and months. A Tsuujou loop is all I want, but scoring will be very much secondary.

Congrats again to MrMonkeyMan -> A mindblowing 1st loop

Well, you have to hit the score minimum to get there, no.

Whoops, am I getting it wrong...or?
I'm referring to the <6lives & Bombs round, not the Special Round (1 life no bomb min 120mil).

Do you still have to get 120mil minimum on the non-special round?

EDIT:- LUN wrote -

TSUUJOU is enough for me from Ketsui. I want it
I feel the 1-ALL damn near, so I'm already thinking about the second loop, which is my real goal. Is trying to NEVER use bombs a good way to reach it? The game gives you 7 lives, so if you manage to survive, the last life would be enough for the loop. The reverse side of the medal is that you go into it with only one life and 3 bombs, worst case scenario.
Can it be a good starting point for further improvements?

http://cowboy.ikaruga.co.uk/bbs/viewtop ... highlight=

& from the strat:-
NORMAL "TSUUJOU" LOOP - Total DEATHS + BOMBS => 6
-No 120mil minimum is mentioned^
SPECIAL "URA" LOOP (AKA REVERSE LOOP/SIDE) - NO MISS/NO BOMBS, 120+ Million Score

Here are the known differences in each loop. I will start with the NORMAL Loop and how it differs from the first round, and then how the SPECIAL ROUND differs from the NORMAL Loop.

TSUUJOU LOOP:

-Instead of releasing chips, enemies release Suicide bullets.
-Suicide Bullets are PINK.
-Chip Number is ALWAYS 1.
-You can stop suicide bullets from being released (seal) by being within a certain radius of enemies.
-If suicide bullets are sealed, then no chips are gained.
-Difficulty is drastically increased.
-I guess I could scrape 120mil if need be

Didn't know that. Guess all that bombing of mine is actually what screwed me then.

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 2:10 pm

Yep, the only requirement to get the TSUUJOU loop is to use less or 6 bombs+deaths!

Yep, LUN's no bomb strategy is a winner. That way you guarantee the TSUUJOU loop even on your last life.

For me, I am more satisfied to get the single-loop ending than go to 2-1. Feels like I've got unfinished business when I get to either loop. I might try it one day.

Zakk - 151,374,456 - 1-5 - Panzer Jager

One of the stupid black helicopters took me out right before the big tank at the end of Stage 5. One dumb death on the stage 4 boss...

I bombed like a girl after the stage 5 midboss. Obviously not at the right times!

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 2:48 am

Bah, I just got 303 million on the Tsuujou loop. Finally made it to 2-5 though. Run ended just before the descent and I still had two bombs left. Could of had a new record.

I will beat this loop!

EDIT

Mother fuck.

I just got to the exact same spot of 2-5 again, but this time I had an extra life in stock as well as two bombs and I made it one enemy wave further. Also got 307 million points on the run, but fuck me. Lost my last two lives in about 10 seconds.

zakk · Post by **zakk** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 7:46 am

Man, it's going to feel weird overwriting an URA score with a normal loop score.

I don't mean to be rude, but mind updating my entry please? Nothing impressive, but I'd like to be moved up a bit

sorry I don't mean to be rude either, just this doesn't seem to have been updated yet? don't want the man to miss out on his score!

Haha yeah, I sort of gave up. I won't be playing the game again for a while since I took my supergun home.

But I thought he could update it the next time I improve the score :)

Thanks for sticking up though!

What the...

When I responded a page or so ago to his post and said I updated the post, I specifically remember actually updating the post.

Maybe I hit preview and forgot to hit submit? I dunno.

I think I'm going to start doing drugs so I have an excuse for this crap

Hey, I made the Ura loop again tonight. I only got a whopping 260 million points though. 2 deaths on 2-1 and 3 deaths on 2-2 kind of fucked me up. Not sure how I did so well my first time.

EDIT

And then a couple credits later I get this.

MrMonkeyMan - 331,263,326 - 2-5 - Tiger Schwert - Proof

I made it to the boss which is awesome. Tsuujou of course.
