Ibara (Arcade and Arrange) *New Thread*
Hey i have a tip for you, if stage 5 goes nuts and you have one bomb or two, hold a bomb button, then release it to unleash powerful missile against itrantak wrote:Arrange
24,122,400 - rantak - stage 5 - Bond (D) - PS2
Played this seriously for the first time yesterday. Can't figure out the arcade mode yet, the small hitbox in arrange suits me better. I also got to stage 6 with a score of 26 mil but I had used the restart function in first stage

ELF seemed to be ape not long ago. Also, it helps to not answer a question with another question or without answering the previous question at all.jpj wrote:are people so up in arms...?
most people seem to approve of the way i limit the places on my scoreboards
I want to know since, yeah, I don't like being audited out of a scoreboard without a reason. So why exactly are you doing this and why not the usual 10 or even 20 like your other maintained boards? If you want to keep high standards and make people more competitive why not just do what Icarus did before in the Battle Garegga thread and have the '10 Highest' section. People can still strive to be one of the best, but others can also participate more casually and be able to compare scores too. Just my thought.

at the moment it's 4 votes to 3 in favour of the snip (my opinion not included).
yay: plasmo, elf, mgn, charlie
nay: ayanami, iatenh, limbrooke
why the snip? i'm managing 90 scores in this thread. also yes, it makes people play better. and just like a real scoreboard on a real arcade machine, there should only be a finite number of spaces. it's only once you reach the scoreboard that you can enter in your initals

If there was list limit before scores were submitted, sort of how it is on an arcade machine/game, I wouldn't care about being displaced if I was on the initial list of 01 to XX, but it's being eliminated from a truncation that's bothering. Thanks for hearing me out.jpj wrote:why the snip? i'm managing 90 scores in this thread. also yes, it makes people play better. and just like a real scoreboard on a real arcade machine, there should only be a finite number of spaces. it's only once you reach the scoreboard that you can enter in your initals

i dunno why people are upset at being cutoff.. if you really want to be on the board that much then work for it.. i haven't spent enough time on this game and it is silly that i am even on the board with such a poo score!!

Thanks to this and partly to this very thread, I managed yet another 900k improvement.

I suppose it resides in the fact that it somewhat motivated me to play again so I may best my score and try to remain on the future score list. Hopefully, there is more to come on my end.jpj wrote:how so?
Regarding my last run, it was a real blast to finally reach Stage 3, with stock no less. Could've even reached the extend but I lost the medals right before that spinning mid boss type robot and decided it was good enough where I stood.

Arrange Mode/Bond
Gwyrgyn Blood - 93,285,650 - ALL - (Type D) - PS2
Made some mistakes here and there... a few minor ones in Stage 2, lot of minor ones in Stage 3 (in which I also still have no good strategy for the boss) which cost me into Stage 4 (where I could only 2x suicide on the boss). Stage 5 made two bigish mistakes, and then played TOO safe in Stage 6 which cost some points. Could easily break 100m and then some if I can scrap together some better strategies for stage 3, 5 and 6.

No different from Battle Garegga, I believe. Destroy all the treads. Bombing may not work sometimes because the tank body has become weaker than one or more treads, but usually it should work. (This should probably be in the ST section, though.)Gwyrgyn Blood wrote:So anyone know what the trick is to getting the big bomb pickups from the heavy tanks that show up in stages 2 and 5? I know the basic idea is to drop a bomb on top of them, but it doesn't always seem to work, so I'm guessing there's another requirement to do it.
