Is that Acid King in 2nd?

I could be 3rd place with my score! I need to get this now and get on there lol!

Here are the top Japanese scores:

I've noticed that the achievements don't sync up between the US and JPN versions, either. It's really strange, considering that they're exactly the same.

Thought this was just going to keep getting delayed

Ima have to pick it up when I see it... I love a Raiden Fighters

Anyone tried this on a PAL 360 yet? ofc its very improbable for it to work as it didnt work on japanese 360s, but would be nice to be sure

yeah, it's locked. my friends copy didn't boot in my japanese console.

Double conformation.

I just try this in my Japanese 360 and it is locked out. Now to hook up my USA console.

For Davey, if you'd like you may adopt my Japanese copy

Well anyways, off to play

The publisher already said that it was locked, didn't they?

Yeah, that's me. I'll have to get a few sober runs in today. Glad I got some practice with the 360 pad playing this in mame.

Holy crap I 1CCed Raiden Fighters Jet!

Course my score sucks eggs and I played all of the easiest levels.

I also purposely made sure that I got nothing but easy stages(by going out of my way to score crappily).

What ship did you use? Slave? I got to Real Battle 1 without even trying with Slave, and I had never done that before.

I've noticed this also with other games, Bullet Witch for example.. meanwhile I think Earth Defense Force seems to sync up with the achievements across both regions (detected as the same game when viewing others achievements)

So help me I'm going to 1cc this game without using the slave. That seems too cheap of a way out.

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Mon May 11, 2009 1:51 am

Tried today and got a Slave 1cc in RFJ :/ without triggering the Real Battle stages though, but it still counted it towards the achievement

only playable non-slave ships for scoring: ixion, judge spear

though miclus is great for boss kills

So these are translations of the japanese region arcade games, right? The english text in this is amazing. All text in shooters should read like this.

seibu's engrish, valcon just put in the patch

I'm not big on scoring, so that doesn't matter much, at least not top overall score. I'm more curious how high I can push some of the scores of the other ships. Since each ship has it's own scoreboard, that's fine for me.

Found out a day ago that it's probably pretty much impossible to cap out the score with the Griffin. The missle is impossibly difficult to use effectively and the lasers kill everything that I don't want them to kill, making fairies and miclus very difficult to get. The missles may be effective... but they'd require some pretty hardcore memorization.

Maybe I just had a bad bottle, but when I tried this it tasted like a dirty pine tree. It's very rare that I don't like an IPA, but I had to dump this one after a few sips.

I don't really keep up on current prices for old stuff, but I wouldn't mind just trading you that Agetec stick for it. Let me know if you're interested. Not that it matters, since I'll probably be mostly devoted to VOOT for the foreseeable future anyway.

Happens with a bunch of games actually, including SotN on XBLA. This is why people end up having stuff like Eternal Sonata and Trusty Bell (Eternal Sonata's JP version), on their name. This invites a bunch of cheating.

I'm surprised Senko shares the same between US and JP, considering how obscure the game is.

I'm concentrating mostly on RF1 for now and will move on to the others later. I have a few questions about RF1 and am hoping you guys can help me out...

1) What is the fastest way to increase medal value (like, from 10 to 90, from 100 to 900, etc.)? From personal experience and from watching others' clips, it seems all of the medals worth 10 points on the screen have to be collected before any 20s will appear, all 20s must be collected before any 30s will appear, and so on. But is there something else too? Does proximity to enemies as you kill them make a difference?

2) What causes medal value to drop from 100000 back to 10000? It happened to me more than once.

3) How difficult is this game supposed to be to 1cc? I made it to stage 6 with both the Aegis and the Slave... there appear to be no extends and although I'm really close to killing the boss, there's the whole final mission to worry about and I imagine it won't be easy.

I'm loving the scoring system and all the different bonuses you can obtain...the first time I got "Defended The House!" I squealed with glee...I adore this package...I feel like I've gotten my money's worth already and yet I only played RF2 once and haven't even touched RFJ yet!

1)Collect all onscreen medals before uncovering the next one.
2)Missing one
3)*shrug* I haven't done it yet.

Done and done

And I finally reached a personal milestone today… I got the 50million achievement!

Yeah good times.

...'totally didn't know how the system worked on those attempts.
I've been using Kiken 'n Twiddle's replays like Mario Kart rubber band AI

Fuck the miclus, yo

I have no idea how to play these games but Im currently in 7th arcade. My score is super weak and Im sure Itll be way down soon but its nice to be on the top page lol. Why is everyone playing Normal instead of Arcade? Im not even sure what the difference is to be honest.

Daigoro · Post by **Daigoro** » Mon May 11, 2009 8:49 pm

this comp is SO EFFING GOOD.

and for $20, its a truly amazing deal.

im really happy that this actually came out!

I'm doing surprising good using the Endeavor on Raiden Fighters. Think I'm in the top 80 for that ship. Is there any reason why it isn't so popular?
