It's really unbelievable! So what is your theoretical maximum score?

That's harsh. The best I've done is technically 1 life but really 2 lives (I missed that 1UP head again somehow, yet still got a 1 life extend by the end). That last boss totally rapes me, I'm pretty sure no-death no-bomb is almost impossible.

My scores are considerably lower than yours, you're obviously putting some thought into chaining. I seem to have a complete disregard for scoring in anything that isn't Original, blasting anything indiscriminantly. I think I'm too lazy to learn...

Maximum extend is 5 lives, so his max is about 1.11 billion.

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 9:12 pm

Well, in that 610 million run, I got hit near the end of stage 3 (2 more times on the boss), right after the midboss of stage 4 (no missed the boss, woo), and a ton of times on stage 5 (first death came somewhere after the midboss), then totally blew it on the final boss as I got raped hardcore.

I could probably get another 50 million or more points if I could not get hit on the levels (not likely).

I think I might just stick with arrange mode. Not having to tap the buttons or worry about switching between four different firing buttons suits me much better.

My first Run over 10 million.

What do you think about the Original Mode? I'm missing the typical Cave score system.

You just described my usual form in Arrange. I usually drop my first life on Stage 5. On my previous high score, I didn't lose a life until I hit the Stage 5 boss.

From your talk of fire buttons it sounds like you also think this whole rapid fire thing is only good for making the playing field unlevel.

Got any tips for high scoring in Arrange mode besides use W-Power all the time?

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 11:04 pm

I switch to S shot at the 2nd boss, actually. Your chain seems to increase faster with the S shot when it's powered up.

Tips though, Umm, shoot things point blank, hold just A a lot, keep those stage 4 and 5 midbosses alive until the enemy swarms start appearing, learn to chain better?

It's a lot easier to keep your chain up since killing enemies stalls your chain a lot longer then in maniac or ultra mode, you can start shooting larger enemies before they're even on the screen to boost your chain.

Any clues about some japanese score in arrange?

freddiebamboo · Post by **freddiebamboo** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 1:55 am

I only just came back to playing arrange after getting fed up with maniac and having to restart all the time after messing up stage 3

Actually never realised the counter held longer in arrange and so started messing around with it again. Hell of a lot more relaxing than maniac or the stupidity that is ultra (that level 2 boss is just soul destroying)

Finally had a chance to play Mushi, at the shmupmeet.

Arrange Mode:

IlMrm - 165,744,898 - Stage 5 - Default

Played arrange mode twice, and in the second run made it to the second to last boss. I had a lot of fun.

Alright, I've been putting some good hours into this game and got a good score on arrange, or at least a decent score.

Jedah Doma: 122,521,567

I'll be back for some more once I get a higher score.

Very Hard+Ultra+S shot = ResOGlas has no high score.

SFKhoa · Post by **SFKhoa** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 1:32 pm

I know it's challenge worthy, but it's better to play on default first, and THEN face Cave's "true challenge" only when you think the previous difficulty is too easy.

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 4:43 pm

ResOfGlass is an idiot though. He can't even beat the game on the defaults, so he cranks the difficulty so he can use it as an excuse for why he sucks at the game =\

Wow, I'm just getting used to arcade and arrange. You sir are a braver man then I. Best of luck getting your chops up to play in Very Hard. I think I'll practice in the sandbox that is original and then go up from there. Once I can 1cc it, then I'll go on....yea right like that will ever happen.

Not that I don't have the game myself, but I've seen replay videos of Mushihimesama on Ultra mode... Well, it's HARDER than the other modes offered.

You cranking up the difficulty when Ultra mode already provides you with a hair-splitting difficulty is just... BAFFLING.

Suck in your pride for a bit and try playing it on Default setting on Ultra mode, and you'll have the challenge you seek. Seriously.
