Ketsui - Arcade and X360 Arrange

[kernow]

Why am I reading this thread instead of playing the board I splurged on in the other room. Fuck I'm a lazy ass.

[Sapz]

Played for the first time in a while, got my first Panzer 1cc and improved my score a little.

360 Arcade
Sapz - 70,081,250 - 1-ALL - Panzer Jager

[moozooh]

First day with 5pb ports. The game is brilliant, both arcade and X mode. Will be in my top for a long time for sure. Xbox 360 controller, though… ugh. Need a better one, badly. :\

Arcade/360
moozooh - 28,886,768 - 1-3 - Tiger Schwert

X mode
moozooh - 102,632,709 - 4 - Panzer Jager

Total play time (for future reference): 2.7 hours.

Current target is 50 million in arcade mode. Now I need to read up on X mode strategy, cause I barely understand what I'm doing…

[EDIT]

X mode
moozooh - 132,668,728 - 4 - Panzer Jager

Rather pleased with this run, pulled off some unexpected dodging throughout stage 4 with no lives or bombs left.

Arcade/360
moozooh - 34,055,367 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert

Slowly moving towards second extend… reducing the amount of stupid deaths should help. Getting the secret extend from Vinogradov would have helped immensely, but I can't dodge its shit at all. :\

Total play time: 3.8 hours.

[man9child]

man9child - 60,900,235- 1-4 - Tiger Schwert - 360

Slowly chipping away at arcade mode. Other than the stage 4 boss, where I still have problems, my biggest issue is consistency in the first four stages. If I could put everything together in a single run I should be able to get to 1-5 and boost my score a bit.

[emphatic]

i need to improve

emphatic | 111,597,722 | 5-1 | Tiger-Schwert (XBox 360 / Arcade mode)



The stage 5 boss is out to get me.

[Sapz]

360 Arcade
Sapz - 90,564,518 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert

Finally starting to get to grips with scoring without dying every few seconds. Next goal is 100m.

EDIT: Got a better score.

360 Arcade
Sapz - 97,944,152 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert

Died at the start of the final boss with two bombs in stock, after missing the Stage 5 extend. Could've been 100m if nerves hadn't gotten the better of me.

EDIT 2:

360 Arcade
Sapz - 108,466,494 - 1-ALL - Tiger Schwert.

Finally broke 100m! Most of the run wasn't anything special, but out of nowhere I 1-missed stage 5 for the first time, netting me this score.

[Sapz]

X Mode
Sapz - 298,423,508 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert

First time seeing DOOM on a real run... naturally, I got destroyed.

[spadgy]

Ketsui might be coming to Casino arcade again, so we might have some more scores from the Casino Crew here!

[Sapz]

X Mode
Sapz - 391,893,208 - 1-ALL - Tiger Schwert

Triggered the blue suicide bullets for the first time a little way into Stage 5. Those threw me off a little being completely unexpected, but I still cleared with a few spare lives; alas, no DOOM. Guess I messed up the requirements somewhere. Anyone know the exact requirements for X mode DOOM? I get the impression it's another deaths + bombs thing like Tsuujou, but it seems like it's a higher threshold than 6 or less.

[Ayanami]

I finally have this game and a 360 that can play it.

Ayanami - 57,679,614 - 1-4 - Panzer Jager - Xbox360 Arcade

[Sandlegs]

just played this game after some weeks off. score up by 20 mil. almost had stage 4 boss dead. caught by the whirlygig finish.

Sandlegs - 52244790 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert - X360 Arcade

[Drum]

Hey Sandlegs, where is your avatar from? It is very great.

[man9child]

Man9child - 68,297,713 - 1-5 - Panzer Jager - X360 Arcade

Lost my last life against the Stage 5 midboss with a full bomb stock.

Edit: New score.

Man9child - 70,888,922 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert - X360 Arcade

[Sandlegs]

Hey Sandlegs, where is your avatar from? It is very great.

I don't even remember. I have been using it for several things for years. i think it's from some old woodcut maybe.

[Ravid]

I done scored a point

Ravid - 132,151,836 - 2-2 - Panzer Jager - PCB

[Plasmo]

Plasmo - 78,998,867 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert - X360 Arcade

Got this game the other day, looks ok. At least it's better than Futari.


I would've never imagined to see me post in the Ketsui Highscore thread...

[moozooh]

Tried the arrange mode yet? One of Cave's best for sure. Pretty fun difficulty phase shifting as a substitute for rank, too.

[Plasmo]

Yep, actually enjoyed it quite a lot. I'll try to clear Arcade first and then maybe go back to Arrange.

Nice to see you in here man! The X Mode clear is lots easier to get for sure.

[moozooh]

Unless you score too well, in which case it just goes second loop on you. :D

[Ravid]

X-mode is fun for a while, but then it rapidly goes a bit "you have to no miss the game to score well." Arcade mode is much deeper.

PS: my X-mode score here is not up-to-date

Ravid - 601,515,330- ALL - Panzer Jager

[moozooh]

Arcade/360
moozooh - 39,345,265 - 1-3 - Tiger Schwert

Was so disappointed with the end of the credit I somehow managed to erase all game data from the card. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.

Oh well. Was at somewhere around 5 hours of total play time. Not bad I guess.

[bulletcurtain]

My best so far: 23,587,907 / 1-4 / Tiger Schwert / X360 Arcade.

[Plasmo]

Plasmo - 87,864,208 - 1-5 - Tiger Schwert - X360 Arcade

Got to the last boss with no lives and four bombs in stock. Haven't practiced him before so it didn't go to well. Still managed to get him down to a sliver of health before he killed me.

Why does it always have to be so close.

[emphatic]

Why does it always have to be so close.

"Just a couple more shots".

[Plasmo]

My frothing demand for 5-chips increases.

CHI - 54,539,687 - 1-4 - Tiger Schwert - PCB



this game is evil... but i'm slowly getting the hang of it

360 Arcade
Sapz - 126,712,054 - 2-3 - Tiger Schwert

Holy shit, that was by far and away the best first loop I've ever done in this game. 4DNB, which let me get a decent way into Tsuujou as well as beating my old score by a nice chunk. Replay/score is on the leaderboards.
