Pink Sweets ~ Ibara Sorekara (arcade)

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:21 pm

you can beat every no bug score with a bug score with only very few experience and i dont think its fair to sit at place 3 or 4 with bug scores above you. you dont need any skill at all to get 10mill+ scores with the bug activated, but just try to reach an A score without the bug - itll be VERY difficult
about the proof pics: i would also want a proof for someone whose first post is a first place score, but getting 5-6 million in a week is nothing special if youve played other raizing games before and know whats going on.
i DONT want a proof for EVERY score someone posts just because he has improved the score by 100k. yes i do trust the internet omg.

SA mode has infinite lives glitch activated on the bugged version of the PCB. and only 3 lives, on the fixed version of the PCB.

i didnt know about this. can someone (or did someone already?) who has a fixed pcb confirm this?

seriousky though, if you had waited till you bought the game before starting all this, you might have thought differently about it all.

im not getting this at all. why would it change my opinion. it has nothing to do with the actual game.

Even if the bug is triggered, just getting anywhere near 10mil is a feat. When I tested my board, I played on with the bug active and could only get up to 9mil with Lace, a character who can score considerably higher than the others, and that's after dropping a ton of medals on sections I'm unfamiliar with.

Try it and find out. It's a lot harder to do than you think.

what i'm saying is, you aren't basing any of this from your own experience with the game. why do you think a 10+ million with the bug under default settings is easy? it's not. that's why only plasmablood has managed it, and he didn't want to post it; he's far enough ahead as it is.

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:33 pm

icarus beat me to it

to get the bug, you're basically talking about no-missing up to the 2nd half of stage 5, with good strats and plenty of bullet milking.

i'm getting deja vu now

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:38 pm

why do you think a 10+ million with the bug under default settings is easy?

cause ICR and PlasmaBlooD both got over 9mill without trying too much??

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:39 pm

no.... icarus didn't do it under default settings....

this is getting boring

Correct. And agreed. This argument is going nowhere.
Also, Plasmo, if triggering the bug was so easy as is claimed, why aren't we seeing more players do it? So far only one player has done it, and he's been playing it for months.

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:42 pm

that doesnt matter. i know that it is difficult to activate the bug but once youve done it, the rest a walk in the park.
it cant be compared to properly playing the game without the bug and thats why I think we need seperate tables.

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:46 pm

oh and PlasmaBlooD did NOT trigger the bug under default settings so actually noones done it yet.

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:51 pm

okay, i thought he said he did, but fair enough. maybe it was lost in translation or something.

so nobody has triggered the bug under default settings. so it's not like they need to be split between bug and non-bug. at least not in the near future.

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:52 pm

thats what i think BUT that was not the only reason for the second thread you know

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:55 pm

you wanted to show off my shasta skills?

That's not the point at all. You of all people should know that even if a stage or two is made easier by the presence of infinite lives, you still have to be able to score consistently and score well to reach a certain score. The difference between a nub who triggers the bug by accident and an expert who does it each and every time is how well one player can pointsqueeze compared to the other.

But whatever. Apparently no one on the forum has done it on defaults yet, so having a thread dedicated to bug scores and one without is moot and a little pointless.

Also, agreeing with Dave_K. here, stop bickering and start playing. Put your money where your mouths are and show us those l33t skillz. I'll be on it tonight after I wrap up scanlation work.

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 4:01 pm

exactly. my shasta score and plasmablood's lace score, after using the bug and 1mill extends, were both about 12 million short of their respective world records.

not that i've said this before or anything...

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 4:12 pm

thinking about it again, its actually not that much of a prob, since, as you said, itll take some time before someone posts a bug score.i think ill change that rule in my thread now and allow bug scores.
the main reason for the second thread is the lack of seperate character tables in this one. and there obviously was enough demand for them. im not very satisfied with having two threads and id be happy if theres another solution...

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 4:22 pm

well, like i say, i'm happy to do separate tables. all people have to do is reset their scoreboards every once in a while, and post pics

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 4:37 pm

i might have a little play around with the presentation of it. but basically, we now have 10 places available fo each ship type, an overal top 10, 10 places for SA mode, and 10 places fo harder mode. bugged scores will be listed as having used the bug as and when that happens, ie jpj - 10,000,000 - ALL - shasta (bug). and when the overall top 10 ever becomes majority bug scores, they will probably be separated into another table again.

thanks very much, jpj

and now lets post here whats supposed to be posted here: SCORES

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 7:30 pm

hey, i'm glad you like it

yeah, i tend to fuck up on the second half of stage 5. unbelievably, i've yet to reach stage 6, even though i've had some runs where i arrive at the boss with 3 lives in stock

i will have to start practicing arcade mode again, especially now if you start using shasta more

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 6:36 pm

oh, and be sure to have a try of harder mode and score attack as well

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 8:01 pm

ive tried score attack a couple of times and i think ill focus on arcade mode first.
and harder is just stupid lol, i couldnt survive for more than 20 secs.

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 9:34 am

ok one question about SA:
im playing with Lace and it seems that i cant destroy the second midboss with her thunderbolt attack (shot). do i have to kill her only using the rose cracker or whats the strategy here?
