Best I can manage right now, I really hope I can improve on this:



shmuppyLove - 1,868,980 - 4 - Blade Owl (A) - MAMEUI32 143u9

[trap15]

First not-horrible run. Was still pretty god-awful though. I missed about half of the score I could have gotten from Axebeak, completely missed milking cyclops, and game-over'd really early...

trap15 - 7,064,460 - 3 - Flame Viper (C) - MAME

[drunkninja24]

Scoring, what?

drunkninja - 2,111,080 - 6 - Buster Lizard (A) - MAME

[trap15]

Still shit, but getting back to it. Messed up Axebeak again, messed up Cyclops for the most part, died really dumb on Bahamut.

trap15 - 9704010 - 4 - Flame Viper (C) - MAME

Macaw - 15594950 - 7 - Flame Viper (A) - MAME


This is the result of about 8 credits of play and watching a youtube vid. Still got no idea exactly whats happening with the 1st boss strat but I got 7 mill from it, then the rest is from normal progression (crazy how easy this game is compared to garegga). Randomly had some 100k medal drops here and there.

Not random at all! 100K medals appear instead of a 10k medal if you have a multiplier active.

Dang, I am SO glad Battle Bakraid got picked!
Frenetic - 3,489,480 - Stage 6 - Solid Ray (A) - PCB (w/trapRom)

[Meseki]

Meseki - 1,127,820 - 2 - Solid Ray (A) - MAMEplus 0.143u6 lagless

I need to go to the Strategy forum and figure out what I did right here, because this run seemed worse than my 800k run. My second stage was a naval base or something, if that means anything.

[Klatrymadon]

First shot:
Klatrymadon - 2,926,750 - 4 - Lightning Wolf (A) - ShmupMAME v3.0b



Never tried the Unlimited version before, or any codes in the normal one, so half of the ships are brand new to me! I like the Flame Viper...

1) I don't know if I'm going to have much time for playing this week.
2) I'd rather dedicate what small time I DO have to getting farther in the game instead of learning Axebeak.
3) Congrats ahead of time for finally beating me, trap15. =)

Eaglet - 9,437,510 - 6 - Flame Viper (C) - MAME

Damn this game is weird.
Would much rather be playing Buttrider.

[KAI]

First and last score I hope.
LOL I can't be moved from the 5th position.

Ugh guess I need to start recording .inps, that'll make restarting on st1 even more fun.

Small improvement and I have an inp this time.

Stupid death in the first part of the st6 boss rush cost me an extend, just needed to make it to the popcorn. There were some other real dumb deaths in there but whatever. I'm not worrying about rank control at all since I know I'm not going to be clearing Advanced this week.

Might be time to actually start studying some replays, I'm getting vague ideas of scoring opportunities here and there.
