Is MLF easier than the Saturn version? I remember reading a thread about this.

I haven't played it, but my understanding is that since MLF only has original, it should be the same as original in the Saturn version. If someone else knows differently, let me know.

697,900 - mannerbot - 1-8 – Bf-109 Messer - Saturn tate

My best runs seem to leave out the Gunbird train trick, but do you have any info on it, Nemo? I only know how to do it if Germany comes up as my first or second stage. Also, DEL mentioned on the old forums that there's a trigger to select the 1-8 midboss.

I can get 160k on Germany with this trick.

Am... what exactly should I do? Not shoot that plane on the left side down, not shoot that red plane, or go up the corner? :?

And btw, that's in Strikers, and that (odd) fellow said Gunbird-trick. :wink:

I haven't played the Saturn version. But I have MLF and compared to the arcade, it is a walk in the park. It's missing ememies, some enemies don't shoot. The 4th level boss is bugged so when the 2nd phase starts, it floats to the top of the screen and SITS THERE doing nothing waiting for you to kill it.

The only way to make it move is to shoot off both of it's wings at which point it resumes its AI.

The 'table' at the end of level 5 or 6 doesn't even shoot at you.

I am so inconsistent in this game it's not even funny. Man, I wish there was a practice mode.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Obviously it's in Strikers because I don't play Gunbird, and I posted a Strikers score. The train is from Gunbird.

To do the trick, you hold your fire coming into Germany (or just don't shoot any enemies). Move your plane over the first tree as pictured if it's the first stage you play, or the second one if it's the second. Then, on the next line of trees, move it over the (middle if first stage, rightmost if second stage) tree and hold it there until the train appears.

Oh, did you shoot any drones in the early parts? You can't fire until the train shows up.

Ok, I'll try later. But we should have one table for original and one for arcade, since original is easier. And if someones finds it harder, then I say that it's different non the least and still should be seperated for the arcade version.

Thanks for the info landshark. A separate table has been added for MLF players, if you're playing this version please specify it so I know who is playing the PS/2 import and who is playing MLF.

You'd have to do that for every game with tate then and that's not necessary, it be like making a separate table for each character in the game. Each version has it's pluses and minuses and I find that scoring isn't much different between the two.

Yes! My very own chart. 8)

And I will be the only entry there for a long, long time.

And this must be the first high score thread to feature three games. :)

I've only started playin strikers1945 again because of this damn copy of Gunbird 2 i got yesterday! Its giving me some real trouble prompting me to recall that this wasn't the first time a psikyo shooter had kicked my ass! I fair a little better at strikers but not enough to prevent the overpowering feeling that i just suck at all psikyo games! :D

Ok, here's Mill's (-M-) score from the London Meet on Saturday:-

STRIKERS 1945 pcb default
-M- : 1,713,700 : 2-8 (ALL) P38 Lightning


Super Laydock got the whole 2nd loop on Video, from the all gold 1st loop naked girl picture to the end of the 2nd loop. Mills 1 lifed to the 2-8 Final Boss - where he lost 1 life.

!!!!! You gotta find a place to post this :) I've seen a perfect first loop gold run of Strikers 1999, but never 1945 (which I think is harder).

I can't believe he can double loops so many games.

BOTH LOOPS

Post by DEL »

Landshark - Pls talk to Super Laydock about the Hosting of the Video. I think the 1st loop of 1945 is easier than 1999, but the 2nd Loop is NASTY!! Mills knows the positioning by heart, but there's still a lot of quick reacting to be done on the 2nd Loop. You have to stop firing when the small planes come close, + take care not to destroy the arms of certain bosses. Its also advisable to know the correct vertical positioning for triggering the 'easier' Bosses on the 2nd Loop. etc....
It took Mills a year to Master the 2nd Loop, so its well worth viewing his Replay! I think Herr Schatten will agree :wink:
