I just made this score a half hour ago, and I'm feeling both excitement and disappointment. Excitement because this places me in the top 5, but disappointment because it could have been much higher. I was playing almost perfectly until the last half of stage 5, where I made a ton of ridiculously stupid mistakes, primarily because I was very nervous. I can normally play stage 5 very naturally no bomb/no miss, with the only exception being the mid-boss' quick second attack pattern (which I still believe is the most awkward pattern in the entirety of MANIAC) but I was so nervous and excited that I died twice after the mid-boss, and once against the final boss; all stupid twitchy mistakes) Up until then I had not died or bombed a single time in the whole run.

Anyway, without further ado, I present my latest score:

Could've had 700,000,000 easily if I hadn't done so badly on the TFB. It would also help if I knew how to chain stage 5.

Nice job, Zebra.

I had a bit of an increase in my ULTRA score:

Hey, thanks Necro, and congrats on your own scores. Does anyone else at your school play for score?

A better question would be, "Does anyone else at my school play at all?"

Sadly, even the answer to this question is no. ;[

Ah, that's a shame. When I make it over to Cali, I promise to stop by and leave at least one set of initials on there, even if it's only in Today's scores :lol:

My best ULTRA game yet! I came very, very close to making it to stage 4. This will be a huge achievement for me. This is my first time making it to the second score extend in ULTRA mode. So fun.

Maybe it's time for you to seriously attack ultra ;]

Or are you planning on trying to get #1st place on the Maniac table before ?

I go back and fourth. I usually play a couple of games of MANIAC, and a couple of games of ULTRA. I only started playing ULTRA as a break between the lengthy MANIAC games, but recently I've been getting more serious about it since I've been able to make it to the first extend, and stage 3 pretty consistently. The idea of one day facing off against the notorious TLB of Mushi myself is really exciting. I doubt I'll ever really focus heavily on score in ULTRA, though. I'm really just worried about making both extends to help me survive as long as possible with each game, which I have already made without much extra effort.

With a couple less deaths I could have broken 400 million on this run. I'm sure my 400 million breach will be coming soon!

In other news, I've made it to stage 4 a couple of times on ULTRA, now. Talk about madness.

Ha ha! I thought I did a good job this morning (best I've done so far anyway), but I'm not going to rank anywhere I don't think. :D

What the hell, here's the thing:

Original mode - PCB - Stage 1-5, no continues:7821783
Was using Shot A, Bomb B, and Full Auto C.

Don't understand the 'rapid fire' difference (is that PS2 only?) I thought there was only full auto?

Anyway, it's a while before I get on any of these leaderboards, it's probably worth learning how the scoring system actually works. :P

EDIT:

Just got this:

Maniac - PCB - Stage 1-4 no continues: 185,636,95
Was using Shot A, Bomb B, and Full Auto C

Does that get me on any leaderboards?:D

I'm keeping the boards 20 entries max since there are so many boards to display for this one game with 3 modes and rapid fire / no rapid fire @_@
Is your maniac score 185M or 18M ? If it's 185M then you get to enter the Maniac top 20.

:lol: I can't even blame the shitty joystick and sticking buttons in that cab, since they're the same shitty joystick and sticking buttons smraedis used to achieve his score.

Personally when I played my first game on that cab, and it was on Original, I missed by touching the very first bullet fired. I think my run ended on the 1st boss or something like that -_-;;

I got another 3 remain ALL on the second day of the meet, and broke 40 million! I didn't like the stick too much, but did much better than I do on the PS2 version somehow :D

Yeah, wow. That's pretty intense. I think I made it to the stage 4 boss on my first Original attempt, after months of playing Maniac.

Inspired by the recent London shmeet, I played Mushi again tonight and picked up another Lx2-remain 1'CC. I was damn near the Lx3, but didn't read the boss' last pattern at all well.

A Lx2-remain 1'CC on your first ever effort is very impressive indeed (to me at least, since that achievement took me months). :)
