Schrodinger's Cat - 630,685,773 - ALL (Lx0) - Normal
I probably would have gotten 20-40 million more points if I hadn't died TWICE against the stage 4 boss right before the highest scoring opportunity in the game.
And believe it or not, this is actually my first clear EVER in 1.5 Maniac. It took about a year but it was worth it!
I'm just one spot away from not having to scroll down to see my score on the leaderboards!

Nice score! I somewhat gave up of 1.5 Maniac.
Tonight I finally got Black Label and cleared Original no problem, not quite a high enough score for this scoreboard yet. Enjoying the new color schemes in BL though

Thanks! The bad thing about playing so much 1.5 Maniac is that I find it pretty hard to get back into the other modes, even BL Maniac where I find that the meter doesn't stay in the red as long (though it gets there way faster). Original is fun until I start dying a string of horrible deaths in stages 3 or 4.
I'm going to see what kind of damage I can do in God Mode after I reach 700 million in 1.5 Maniac. Hopefully it'll happen soon!

Hey not too shabby for playing this mode for only a few days, right? Funny thing is that it was the first time I played in Score attack, rather than my usual normal (where I tend to resart levels when I fudge up). Died in stage 3 and thought I was finished, but no missed stage 4 and then got my second extend and 1up in stage 5 which gave me plenty of comfort room. Tempted to jump right into God mode now.

Did this run a little while ago, lots of stupid mistakes everywhere. The Larsa no-miss was pretty much the only good part, but the score is decent enough. Hopefully I can break 300m soonish.
I checked for your replay, it's not up. Your score is in Maniac, you've done well to score that well so far! Better than me! If you want, my gamertag is in my sig. Keep it up! We want big scores!

Hummm, then I don't know how upload this.
I guess I will play this while doj don't get the patch. Maybe I can get my revenge.
yeah i haven't played ultra for a long time but i still have my replays saved so it shouldn't be that hard to get my old strats back.
i started playing a bit stage 4&5 practise at god mode a week ago so my next scores here are going to be god mode scores.
when i'm done with god mode & dfk i maybe try a new ultra score with a good stage 5.

Sapz - 297,482,230 - ALL (Lx2) - Normal
Small improvement. Could have been so much better if I hadn't died a little before the third boss out of nowhere to one of the beetles... aside from that, this run was no miss until Larsa. Oh well, 300m isn't so far away now.
Novice - Original - Palm
moozooh - 350,616,106 - ALL (Lx5) - Abnormal
A few mistakes here and there; can't get used to rapid switching and estimating if it even makes sense to switch at a given moment. A fine score, though, especially for a first credit.
Novice - Original - Reco
moozooh - 352,157,367 - ALL (Lx5) - Normal
Near-perfect stage 1 (over 6000 overall counter), clean stages 2 and 3, a few mistakes on stage 4 and a couple missed lanterns on stage 5. Every stage ended with max bomb capacity. Is it just me, or it's harder to score with Reco on Novice? This run was definitely much more optimized than the Palm one, yet I seem to lose a lot of points (on the bosses?).
Version 1.5 - X360 - Original - Reco
moozooh - 136,569,698 - 5 - Normal
This is just for reference's sake. I can get to the first extend before the second boss in Original, but if I do that stage 3 rapes me (and if it doesn't, stage 4 does). I can no-bomb most of stage 5 every time I get there but those wood lice that shoot gigantic spreads in the second half of stage 3 are the hardest part by far.
No-miss/no-bomb stages 1 and 2, entered stage 3 with 67 million. Then, unsurprisingly, one failure came after another. At least now I'm guessing I can at least reach stage 4 boss if I get to the second extend.
Accidentally tripped on one of the midboss's balls. Shit's hard, but I've been able to reach stage 2 with a spare life so I guess I can live to see the boss some day. By that time the score should go up considerably.
Version 1.5 - X360 - Ultra - Reco
moozooh - 11,887,954 - 2 - Normal
Reco's definitely better everywhere except (mid-)bosses with her awesome C-shot, but otherwise it's much easier to survive with Palm. I had a lucky credit, though, where I no-missed up until the first boss (failed shortly afterwards).
This game is a fucking blast. Still working on that Original 1CC.

No-missed to Larsa but bombed a bunch along the way, got there with about 330mil on the clock. Somehow no-bomb no-missed the first form, died on the second, and just bombed the rest of it. Actually cleared with lives in stock, which is nice. Now to weed out another 50mil from somewhere to put me over the 400mil mark.
5th place on XBLA, 1.5 ARCADE Original leaderboards, if anyone wants to see the replay.
No-missed to around 100 million in the middle of stage 3. Now that I think of it, it's not hard at all to no-miss to stage 4 either, but P-A's idiotic C-shot can't kill for shit.

Black Label- X360- Original
Phoenixma- 536,109,591- All (Lx2) - Reco
Managed to No Miss No Bomb most of the game giving me a majority of this score. Pointblanking was almost nonexistant considering my definition of point blanking and the game's are not the same. Panic bombed a lot on Larsa cause I was out of practice when I did the run. Could have finished with 3 lives but suicided for endgame bonus.
Black Label- X360- God
Phoenixma-793,321,900- Stage 4- Palm
Stages 2 and 3 completely destroy me on this mode.
Unfortunately, my 1.5 Original clears aren't high enough in score for the board. And I don't care too much for Arrange scoring.
No-missed to stage 4 this time. Did so-so there, one-bombed the boss fight, entered stage 5 with no lives and no bombs left, gameovered early into stage 5.
It seems that practice on Ultra really pays off in the long run.
Matskat wrote:This neighborhood USED to be nice...until that family of emulators moved in across the street....
Oh god. I've never 1CC'd this. I just lost my final life on the final boss with about a pixel's width of health left on the boss' life bar! GRRRR! [EDIT: I just realised I got the achievement for killing the boss, but I definitely died. That's about as close as you can push it!]
A few Arrange scores as a result of achievement hunting:
Original
moozooh - 1,386,588,976 - ALL (Lx5)
Ultra
moozooh - 1,441,831,050 - ALL (Lx1)
Could have been at least two places higher if I went for another fever on Larsa. >_<
[EDIT]
Another score for the sake of it, this time 1.5:
Version 1.5 - X360 - Original - Palm
moozooh - 135,245,957 - 5 - Abnormal
God damn, I was in excellent form! Spent only two bombs on the first three stages, nearly got the overall counter to 30k, but died three times with bombs left in stock.

Black Label is awesome and I like it better than 1.5 already.
BL — X360 — Original
moozooh — 448,855,022 — ALL (Lx0, Bx1) — Palm
Somehow if I score reasonably well (as in, get over 40 million on stage 1, second extend before stage 2 boss, etc.), I die either on stage 2 or stage 3. If I do so on one of them, the other seems piss-easy. Well, whatever.
Second credit. Went through most of stage 4 and stage 5 on penultimate life. Actually entered stage 5 with no bombs either, and managed to go all the way and grab the extend somehow without dying. No way I can repeat this. o_0 Lost that life just before Larsa, though, with a bomb in stock. Had I had that bomb on me I would have had my ALL, as I died a wee bit away from killing her. :(
Third credit where I didn't restart on stage 1. I thought this mode would be harder, actually, but in fact it's quite manageable and really, really enjoyable! I can even see getting to stage 5 here.
