Progear no Arashi HS Thread! (US/JPN) UPD Aug2021

It wasn't a clear this time, game over on the cranes shortly after the stage 5 mid-boss. I think a no-bomb run is achievable though; the only bomb spot left is the final boss’s rotating ellipse thing in the first phase.

updated today.

I am considering trimming the J board to 25- possibly even 20 within the next few weeks.

Keep up the good work guys- and OTA- congratulations with the clear! You've put some effort into that one!

Thanks mate - it was your board that got me motivated.

We had a shmup meet at Casino arcade in London recently, which saw a couple of new posts (though maybe MulletGeezer hasn't submitted his yet) for Progear highscores. I had to see myself knocked down the board infront of my eyes!

EDIT: Nice jump up Taylor! You're scoring amazingly without your 1CC, so I can see your scores go far further! I haven't been able to touch a stick since the meet - my wrist is killing me, though I think I have Raiden Fighters Jet to blame!

Thanks, spadgy. I've got all the 'parts' for hitting 2-1 with a respectable score, I just need to do it all in one run. Hopefully I can do it on MAME and then 'for real' in Casino. :)

Please, please don't do that. The JP version IS, after extended play, definitely harder than the US version, which is why it makes sense to have a longer list.
Besides, I worked my ass off for this!:

Japanese version
Skykid: Bolt, Rivet - Stage 1-5 - 10,829,930 (EDIT: SCORE BROKEN BELOW)

I love the idea of beating Gaijin Punch too.

I knew I should have take a picture of the 14mil on my jap board, still I guess I would survive a cull if my 13.6 mil score it put on

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 8:12 pm

EDIT: SCORE UPDATE!

Japanese version
Skykid: Bolt, Rivet - Stage 1-5 - 11,393,230

Made it to the last boss' final form this time - I could smell that 1CC!

Grrrr!

Bloody wars Skykid! You leave my Progear score be sunshine!

And well done mate!

Over on Cave-STG RAR posted a freakin' amazing 2-ALL score. Is RAR on the shmup board? I hope he posts his score!

Yes, that would be me.

I suppose I should throw up a score here. Score and ALL was obtained on the PCB.

RAR - 121,107,960 - ALL - Ring / Chain (JP)

first night with the jap pcb:

jpj - 8,851,640 - 1-5 - Bolt/Rivet (JPN)

Post by **spadgy** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 12:16 pm

Well - a small increment. Can't seem to combine a good score up to beating the level 4 boss with a 1CC, but he's my second 1CC, which, inexplicably, I managed despite going into the final boss with no bombs and one life in stock.

spadgy - 12,741,580 - 1-ALL - Bolt/Rivet

Also, a rather laughable display of what happens when you 1CC on your first credit and then keep trying again getting worse each time (yes - that 4m score is mine to, last credit of the day!)

Battlesmurf · Post by **Battlesmurf** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 2:52 am

Holy crap. Post updated. I gave AB/Rar stars at the top. The last score he had listed was in the 40m range. nice job

Also- Spadgy- great progress

Please also make sure to post what region you played on- my memory is iffy and I sometimes forget

Anyways- keep up the good work guys.

Thanks Battlesmurf, and sorry about forgetting the region. Amateur mistake when I've entered so many incrementally improved scores here.

lol..don't worry- you've got an amazing score yourself! I feel kinda embarrassed by my score personally. In the Japan game I max out at 15- I can't bear to post something until I can get a higher score than that ;P

I really wouldn't mind Progear winning the next round in STGT2008 as it's up for vote, but I'll be a little gutted about this lovely little scoreboard suddenly becoming flooded and my score falling away to the bottom - oh well!

Taylor · Post by **Taylor** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 11:34 pm

Decided I’d try the JP version and walked away with something fairly respectable.
Taylor - 14,686,210 – 1-5 – Bolt/Nail

Cocked up stage 5 so badly... I'll try and get one with an 1-ALL next time.

Thanks, it was the first time I ever no-missed no-bombed the entire first loop. It's an insane score jump when you do so.
