Japan - Slave
Plasmo - 38,951,860 - 7 - (Judge Spear) - Yes - 360

Reached the last boss for the first time. Stage 7 itself doesn't seem to be too hard. I'm having more trouble with the stage 6 boss...

The next score I will post is 40mill+ and a 1cc.

Awesome stuff Plasmo! Any chance of a video for it? We need more RF1 Arcade mode on YouTube. :D

Since the 360 easily lets me save each replay, I'll definitely upload it to Youtube once I'm done. I'm not too sure what my goal is right now though...

Beating my nonexistant score for instance... :P
Seems so far I have less time than I hoped and thought, and thus I'm getting way too far behind. But it should get better once this week is over.

Japan - Slave
Plasmo - 45,470,920 - ALL - (Judge Spear) - Yes - 360


Goal reached! Got to the last stage with no miss and still lots of bombs in stock, so I played it safe and used them all. Died once at the last boss.

Will upload the replay within the next few days.

Yes, Arcade difficulty. On top of that I've found out, that I was playing on 60fps all the time, while the game originally runs with 54fps... And I was wondering why the game felt so much harder when I was playing myself compared to the superplay...

You can change the framerate in the options. The game feels like easy mode for me now. :lol: Definitely expect another score on 54fps. I can score a lot better now.

Yeah, I wish I had RFA myself, I'd definitely be game for a run. Either way it'll be great to see some actual Arcade-difficulty RF1 vids on YouTube, I tried to find some good-quality vids of RF1 and couldn't find many at all let alone ones that weren't on Easy/Normal.

Quite a solid run scoringwise including getting all the miclus. 48mill should be possible with my current strategies, but scoring gets rather anal from here on.

I did no miss the game before, but during this particular credit I've lost one life. Deaths don't matter anyway in this game.

After seeing Plasmo post some scores, I thought I'd finally get around to uploading my replay where I score 50m:

Heh I remember breaking my medal chain and killing a fairy, but I don't recall missing that many Destroyed at a Time bonuses!

Thanks for uploading your replay! That chainbreak alone was worth 700k+... I'm sure you can do at least 52-53mill!

Your score will soon be beaten btw. :wink:

Japan - Slave
Plasmo - 50,725,350 - ALL - (Judge Spear) - Yes - 360


Learned quite a lot of advanced scoring strategies and pulled it off together in one run. This run was good, but not flawless. I've lost around 600k due to missed bonusses, so I'm gonna shoot for 51mill from now on. I'm not too sure if I can make it and I'm already rather satisfied with 50mill, but I will try. If I don't get 51mill within 2 weeks I'll upload the replay for this credit and move on to the next game.

That was quick! Made close to no mistakes during this credit. Maybe one or two missed "destroyed at a time" bonusses, but that's about it.

I'm very satisfied with this score and will stop playing this great game until someone beats my score. Replay will follow tomorrow. :)

And here's the replay: LINK

Quality isn't the best, but I don't care.

Why do the regular and the Slave ships have different highscore tables in the opnening post btw? I can see how it makes sense for RF2 and RFJ, because the Slave is much more superior than all the other ships, but in RF, Judge Spear has a much higher scoring potential than the Slave. If I would've played with JS, my score would easily be around 52mill, by doing the exact same things.

It is for that consistency, but I do want to separate by ship eventually. Of course, the slaves would be grouped together, unless there's something I'm missing.

Really nice job, by the way. Didn't think anyone would ever come back to this game.

Having individual tables for each ship would actually be quite a good idea and would increase the incentive to play with different ships.

I'd also suggest having one table for the slaves. The only difference between them is the speed. I can't see a reason to select a slower one though. Speed is everything in this game.

Hey Despatche - Maybe it's worth noting in the first post here that on the 360 port, 'normal' difficulty is a little easier than the arcade board's 'normal'. You need to play the 360 port on 'arcade' difficulty to match the PCB. (EDIT: I see BPzeBanshee alluded to it above)

Also, would you consider including 360 port 'normal' scores in a separate table in this thread? No worries if not, but if so, I've got a score for ya!

And I will get on with arcade difficulty soon!

US board - Standard Ship

DocHauser - 10,351,710 - 1-3 - Judge Spear - Yes - Shmupmame 4.0

I did make it to the Stage 4 boss on a different run, but didn't get as high a score. I think RF is actually the hardest of the series - Stage 3 in this feels on a par with Stage 6 in Raiden Fighters 2.

Kyper's score comes from the X360 platform, as seen from his old replay just recently released on YT.

This is my first score and there are few mistakes (few 100k miss on stage 3) but I will improve in the next few weeks/months. I hope between 53M/54M.
Of course, replays will follow !!!

I break the 53M barrier. replay recorded but I wait a little for upload because I can can improve this score (with better replay).

PS someone can tell me what's the best score on 360 version (arcade difficulty) ? probably between 54M/55M ?

If I remember correctly, it wasn't over 50mill. Around 48-49mill maybe.
