Thanks mate. I owe that in part to watching yourself and Keade show me how it's done an London Meet VI.mulletgeezer wrote:Nice progress there, spadgy, but where are Skykid's new scores?
Also I finally played it enough to feel in control of level 4, rather than just winging it on the back foot!
Where are Skykid's new scores?

moozooh — 6,660,050 — 1-5 — Bolt — Rivet.
Made it to stage 5, died in the beginning due to inexperience. Played on the JP version.
Stage 4 is badass. Thankfully, Rivet makes the stages considerably easy, I actually find them harder than boss fights otherwise. The first loop's pretty easy if you're just playing for survival, without aiming to hoard lots of bullets under your nose to try canceling them at the last second. At least it's the first Cave game I played that let me one-credit to the final stage of the first loop within less than five total hours of play.

EDIT 3: Ignore this post. New score posted in new post below!
Slight improvement. US version as normal!
OTA (spadgy) - 11,170,440 - 1-5 - Bolt/Rivet
EDIT (July 9th). Small increase...
OTA (spadgy) - 11,538,330 - 1-5 - Bolt/Rivet
Second pattern of the last boss, and my first experience of the rank jumping up when you get a forth life in reserve on level four!

Hee hee, I've got a little caught up in playing all sorts of shit. I'm off to post my Mushi score.spadgy wrote:Don't think so. Me and Skykid just have had a friendly rivallry over Progear scores, and he hasn't posted one for a little while.
I've actually just increased my score, but so incrementally I won't post it unless I don't get something better in the next few weeks...
Must have discipline - I'll get you Spadgy!
Always outnumbered, never outgunned - No zuo no die

It's the first Cave game where I have died 4/5 of the time within the first two stages, with less than 5 total hours of play. Then again, I always get sniped by things that should not snipe me right when I'm about to snag another 300K.moozooh wrote:At least it's the first Cave game I played that let me one-credit to the final stage of the first loop within less than five total hours of play.
Maybe I should try again, go for 7 mil. Or at least make it to stage 5.
The beautiful thing about Progear is that, once you get hold of the basis of scoring, it makes for an extremely easy extend rotation, letting you survive for a very long time even if you die or bomb more often than in other Cave games. The way I'm playing now I aim to get the first extend during Hakugei or early stage 3, the second during Kraken or stage 5 midboss. If I'll be able to get the third, it will be a guaranteed 1-ALL, though it might be that only two are enough if I make a coherent run or get extremely lucky at Volvox.

YESSS! I got the 1CC! I beat this bastard game, about an hour ago, down at Casino Arcade, London! My first cave 1CC, and I had a life left in stock too!
US Version
OTA (spadgy) - 12,671,740 - ALL - Bolt/Rivet
And I did it the day I left my camera phone at home. Still, another regular took a pic, so if I can find him again I can get the pic onto my phone.
I'm so happy!

US Version:
Taylor - 14,509,790 - 1-5 - Bolt/Nail
I've decided to stick with Progear and hit the 2nd loop. The requirements are harsh but as I have ~7 lives in total I should hit it if I just refuse to bomb - and to that end I’ve removed the button from my keyboard! I messed up all the milking spots this run, most of the pointage is from the periods I had a decent gem count with x2... That adds a cubic crapload.
