Canceling the boss' laser creates more bullets.

Makes sense, at least for types A and B. I'd imagine this not making a positive difference for type C players though, as about half the projectiles goes past Hibachi anyway.

How's ISO doing at SDOJ, btw? Is he playing S/L or Expert? Broken 20 billion yet?

[adversity1]

ISO and TAC are murdering SDOJ. I won't comment on scores until Arcadia comes out, but suffice to say that NTSC-J and I have seen god.

[moozooh]

Ha! So I take it they're fond of it, right?

[adversity1]

You could say that. ;D

Ebi-cen had four SDOJ cabinets running tonight with a packed house. Coffee and sweets served, and people going hard on puzzle games when the shooter cabs were taken up.

Personally looking forward to what NAL puts up for Arcadia. He had some amazing Expert play, some of his stage 5 recharges took him up to 9 hypers: HY-HY-HY-HY-HY-HY-HY-HY-HYPER.

[NTSC-J]

They seem to like it, but I don't know how much longer it's going to interest them. The scores they've put up are massive (adversity1 and I were sworn to secrecy, but they should be in the next Arcadia in a week or so), and I don't know how much further they're going to be able to push this game.

For it's modest size, Ebisen is a pretty monumental arcade for shooters. It's intimidating to sit down at a cab after TAC just had a phenomenal run, only to fumble around like a blind man in front of these guys. To my right, a guy set a new world record in Rayforce (which also should be in the next Arcadia).

It's sobering stuff. Next time I go to that place, I'm going to bring a pair of diapers.

You can only do it as long as your invulnerability lasts (since otherwise you die of the lasers instantly) and Hibachi will be shielded the whole time so it's not type dependent. It is a good technique anyway since it gives you slightly more time until the attack reaches full force.

everything was perfect (for my standards right now, i still have problems in chaining stage 3-4)
i got a x7 bonus on stage 5, then as soon as i died my motivation went down and lost all my lives, that costed me big

then i refused to loop, so yeah

i'll need to work out stage 3 asap

[third_strike]

So I asked ISO today after watching him kick SDOJ's dick in a few times at Ebisen.

As I mentioned before, the last pattern is sheer dodging grit, this much is true but ISO mentioned that after every auto-bomb, hyper etc. whenever you are invulnerable you should be attacking the boss with SHOT, not laser. Why? Canceling the boss' laser creates more bullets. So you want to laser at the last second before the boss' lasers hit you, and be attacking with Shot as much as possible.

Thanks for try man!
Like I said before I can see nothing during this pattern (my finger just freeze).
This guys are crazy!

[back]

F*ck.
I just missed a full chain on loop 1 my having my arms uncontrollables.
I shaked so hard that I took a bullet on the super easy part with the large ship just before the end...
That suck. It was a 320/330b run...

Definitely seeing how to extend my score. This one should have actually been a lot higher.

Pluggin along.

Edit: Congrats Jaimers! Curious how hard you found getting to/defeating HiVAC compared to other games.

I'm guessing it's Omote?

[adversity1]

Yep, sorry will put that in next time.

[CloudyMusic]

I'm just a beginner, but apparently this score is good enough for #4 on the 1.5 Bomb style ranking (guessing nobody plays it) so w/e might as well throw it up



360 - 1.5
Keres - 2,402,696,257 - 1-5 - A-Bomb

[CloudyMusic]

Switched to C ship and raised my score some more. Need to practice stages 3-5 a lot more, so this will hopefully improve quite a lot further.

No-miss to 2-2. My first time in the Ura Loop, shit is ferocious. "This game is easy cuz u got hyper": ok lol.

Learning more and more.

That's some great progress!

Nice, both of you!

By the way moozooh, I think you forgot to update the overall 1.5 Bomb ranking when you added my most recent entries.

[moozooh]

Ah, you're right. Should be correct now.

[mesh control]

For some reason my score is above BLZ on 1.5 C-power and if you can, remove my scores from both 1.5 and BL.

2-4 is lol-worthy. what is life

[moozooh]

Are you practicing in arcades only, or you have the port as well? If it's the former, very impressive progress.

[adversity1]

I have the port, but I use it only to practice Stage 5. All of my scores from here on out will be in the arcade because although I think you can full-chain the game in the port with C-type and B-type, the timings for A-power are just extremely harsh and small imperfections in the port become huge. Most of these scores are coming from 6 hour sessions every weekend with the gawd (NTSC-Jesus).

This was a pretty hilarious run. Only had 70 bil going into Stage 5 and I was on the damn Omote route of all things after getting killed by the Stage 3 mid-boss. Figured I'd just practice Stage 5 and wound up full-chaining it with a lot of survival hypers thrown in. Was down to one life no bombs on 2-2 boss and somehow managed to dodge through the "fugu attack", which threw me into stage 3 and got me a lovely 1-up and bomb. Then I met 2-4 which was just loleriffic really.

[NTSC-J]

You had some really impressive improvisational dodging in the loop, it's a shame it wasn't recorded.

I like being able to see you make progress every weekend, all that hard work is paying off. 200 billion is just around the corner.

Kinda bogged down playing so much KOF13 for EVO practice but I'm still putting in time when I can.

Died at the laser walls after midboss 2. Haven't even practiced that more than a couple times hahaha. I wonder if I can blow up those lasers with shot pretty quickly as they appear on screen, rather than having to laser counter them the whole time while dodging tons of tank bullets.

[adversity1]

Nice one, spineshark! You must be getting some of the stage 4 chain I imagine?

Laser walls are pretty manageable, yes by using boost shot and nailing them as they appear on screen. If you want to keep the chain through this part you're also going to want to slowly and methodically kill the tanks and bombers that appear before the venus fly-trap (big, winged enemy), otherwise the chain will break.
