Yeah, let's just hope Icarus doesn't notice this thread :lol:

*Edit: If you want to make guigui's stage route look correct, it's ABCEH.

I did not recieve your PM. Sorry for wrong stage clarification.
I'm currently working on mission mode, and am getting my ass seriously kicked. I mean, how the heck am I supposed to kill Dark Helios, after a really hard stage, with my yellow weapon, legend ship, and not so much powered missiles ?! (mission 2 of level 3)

I think he meant that he sent a PM to Icarus, who has a pretty good score posted in another thread.

Trying to beat Dark Helios without burst is something that have put an end to my Mission Mode career. Which is probably a good thing, making me focus on scoring in Arcade Mode instead.

Welcome to the thread CIT! I got my copy today and played a few credits, awesome game! I guess you have to unlock the other ships in some way?

Oh, Vox? I stole the picture from your thread at stgfan, hope it's ok? Let me know otherwise.

Yeah, beat Arcade Mode once (continue is okay) and you'll get Silverhawk Next. Beat it again on a different route and you'll get Mission Mode. Beat it a third time on yet a different route and you'll unlock Burst Mode. Beat that mode to get Silverhawk Origin.

No problem. Hard to find a decent logo on the net. I took a screen capture from a pre-order site or something.

Getting rid of some ring rust with a few late night sessions. Got me a new high score:

Arcade Mode:
Voxbox - 37,434,500 - Next - ABCEH (All)

Didn't get a single beam counter though.

This is a really good score without burst counters, and makes me wonder what the best approach for scoring is during the stages. Do you know if the multiplier is applied to enemies killed in stages as well? Or only enemies killed with the burst laser?

Re: Darius Burst

Thanks! I'm pretty sure the multiplier applies to everything that you destroy in any way.
My focus when playing is on maxing my multipier as fast as possible and keeping it, then trying to dismantle all the bosses as much as possible before botching my beam counter attempts :roll:

I actually scribbled down my scores between each level, both before and after the bosses, and this is how it looks:

Zone A = 2,800,000
A Boss = +4,900,000
Zone B = +2,800,000
B Boss = +2,600,000
Zone C = +3,300,000
C Boss = +1,800,000
Zone E = +4,500,000
E Boss = +9,200,000
Zone H = +1,500,000
H Boss = +4,000,000
Total = 37,400,000

Also, check out my Boss Breakdowns posted in the other thread:

Successfully burst countered all bosses except for Mirage Castle, who I killed too soon. Unfortunately only got x5 (iirc) on Fatty Gluttons. I can upload the replay if anybody wants to see it.

Will check that replay too - I still have lots of trouble finding the right position to burst-counter. :|
Anyways, posting my n00b score:

Arcade mode score
ZOM - 29,669,100 - Next - ABCEH (ALL)

I just unlocked burst mode with that run; will post score soon.

(Love the game so far :D)

Thanks - I'm happy seeing my 1CC list finally growing a bit, even if this one isn't a huge accomplishment hehe.
Credit goes to guigui for listing down the burst unit's controls in the other thread; game just got easier.

I got my first clear tonight (managed to 1-life it as well) Crappy score, but I haven't gotten around to try out the whole counter thing yet.

Arcade mode

Congrats Drago.

New score for the easy route:

Arcade Mode
ZOM - 41,459,300 - Next - ABCEH (ALL)

Too bad that I only managed to counter-burst the first two bosses; a few more and this run probably cracked CIT's score :D
I think I'll wait with burst mode for now and test a few other routes in arcade mode... do we already know which is the one to go for score?

Also, what's with the second to last digit? I was under the impression that this showed the amount of credits used but seeing that all burst mode hi scores have them makes me think I'm wrong... :?:

Nice score there ZOM :)

I have no idea what the digit in Burst mode means, I am actually yet to unlock the Burst mode myself.

Yeah I know, but I had those scores in arcade mode too and I'm pretty sure I didn't use any continues - so I wonder what enemy/projectile/object gives just 10 points?
For the record, with a good 10+ runs I did in Arcade mode, I have just one of them with a digit in the tens of the score: 39,451,270.

EDIT: correction, I have two; the other one has 50 points in it.
