Thanks Koma! I'm going to put my score up right now. :D

EDIT: I'm ranked #153 there. Pretty far from the top!

Shame on me because I haven't performed that ultra-easy trick on the second boss... Well, it was a long time ago. Congrats ;)

Score edit:

Finally took the bitch down with one stock life. Not a great run either, since I don't normally lose a life on stage3 boss. :D

Hello, after many attempts, I got a good run while recording, may stick this one up on YouTube, but I had a really sloppy Stage 5, and I'm sure I can get around 850 millions now.

Arrange Mode

FYI a Maniac ALL is harder to do than an Arrange mode ALL. So don't feel so bad. :wink:

Thats kinda the OPPOSITE of what i heard about the comparison from maniac and arrange.
Isnt the arrange TLB harder than the whole maniac mode.
With quite a bit practise maniac is doable within a month (for a normal skilled player)
But i dont wanna know how long this TLpooeyB is in your way for the ALL attempt.

Nah, the TLB isn't so hard. Just takes a little practice, and you have to get there with 3+ lives left. I think I 1CC'd Arrange after a little over a week of play. Took me a few months of play to do Maniac.

Everything leading up to the TLB is ridiculously easy in Arrange mode.

Yeah, arrange mode is very easy, the hardest part is to score well.
After some practice, I started to find the TLB to be quite easy too, autobombing at the right time on the final form really does help too.

I can try my best, I have a really bad connection though, and it took me a very long time to get my Darius video uploaded fully on there.

Also, I'm not completely happy with the run, and will continue to try to get a better score sometime in the future.
But I'm happy that there is some interest. :D

How in the world are you guys getting those kinds of scores on arranged, I just got my high score going into stage 5 with only 80 mil...

What's the scoring trick to this?

PROXIMITY + SHOT BUTTON. Just try to get close to enemies on the top of the screen as they appear, and hold the Shot button down. This makes your multiplier rise quickly. Of course you need to map out a somewhat decent chaining route as well.

I just found some threads on it, including the guide that you wrote. Its like playing a different game, I'm actually doing better playing it normally than trying to bank on score.

The guide I wrote was for Maniac/Ultra modes. Be sure to play Arrange differently (there's no "tapping" involved in Arrange mode, just proximity plus holding the Shot button down while chaining enemies together)

Thanks for letting me know, that would be why I was getting better scores playing it like that. I just gotta get closer, and especially in stage 2, where I can rack up those points where I never thought I could.

Hopefully by tonight I'll be putting up over a 100 mil score :)

:roll: maniac mode is broken. you just gotta look at that 2.6 billion score for that... i'm surprised anyone still plays it. then again, americans still think marvel vs capcom 2 is a good game. go figure.

Perhaps, in good time. In the past I've had a few cracks at Maniac which, perversely, seemed easier than Original mode. Then I learned about Maniac's scoring system, and that really put me off (at least, for now). When I have some free hours to invest in perfecting positional play, C button slaps at quarter second intervals, A button slaps at 1 second intervals, and of course comprehending why/when/how to execute these attacks, I may yet find the inclination.

The same lack of time and motivation has kept my score below 27mil on DDPDOJ, 30mil on DDP, 18mil on Galuda(Arcade), etc. Galuda Arrange grabbed my attention of late because it at least gives the illusion you can move around freely without serious detriment to your score (I still average in the region of 100mil, even after several lagers). In this respect I find it similar to Mushi Original.
