Muchi Muchi Pork! (v1.01, Arrange, Matsuri)

Matsuri
NTSC-J - 254,711,800 - 1-5 - Ikuo



I've warmed up to Matsuri version recently, but the PS bosses can really screw you over if they don't feel like spitting out their more lucrative patterns.

[awo]

Nice score. Matsuri ver is probably my favorite but that's partially because I prefer 1 loop games. I'd probably like a 1-Loop 1.01 even more. The 2 loops in 1.01 are difficult to deal with due to the time involved.

Matsuri
awo - 261,707,640 - ALL - Ikuo



I think I'm done with Ikuo in Matsuri, I don't think I can do much better than this, it was pretty much a perfect run for me. Replay is up, for those interested.

Pretty happy with this score, and I'm growing tired of the long 1.01 runs (over an hour each credit). Replay is on xbox live!

Wow, unbelievable score. Nice job!

[awo]

Thanks, windex.

In other less awesome news....

Ver1.01
Rafute
DEL - 339,085,810 - 2-ALL



I lost my chain in the very worst spot in the whole 2 loop game - the helicopter rush of ST2-4. Otherwise my score would have been closer to NTSC-J's Rafute score.

Nice job, DEL.

[DEL]

Cheers!

I really wanted to make that my last marathon 2 loop credit, because like you, it wears me down for the hour+
But that missed 10mil from ST2-4 is gonna nag me.....
In the meantime I might try this Matsuri thing.

[awo]

I know what you mean, you have to keep playing until you get a run you're really satisfied with.

Hope to see some Matsuri scores from you (and anyone else). It really amazes me how few people play any version of MMP.

Yup, even though it was released by CAVE.
Personally I always prefer Yagawa's games to Cave offerings.

Harahara
awo - 202,181,060 - ALL - Ikuo

[Chaos Phoenixma]

Is there a good strat for starting a Harahara credit out? When I got to the loop on 1.01, I was still able to get through 2-1 without much trouble, but trying Harahara, the first stage just destroys me. I'm guessing it's more due to not being fully powered.

[awo]

The only tricky part for me is getting the medal value up, I still get it to 10K before the midboss, but it takes a bit longer than in the first loop. Use your bombs when needed, don't worry about using both up before the boss. I used one in the section before the midboss, and one after, in my last run. I also died once before the boss (try not to do that). Also try and stay near the top of the screen and kill enemies as they appear, this prevents many of the enemies from shooting at you in the first place. If you want a quick max power up before the midboss, use a bomb on the trains and attack them with the lard attack to get a lot of P medals.

I ended stage 1 with 17 million, but I didn't do any boss milking. I should be able to do at least 20 million with a little practice.

[DEL]

How do I go about getting the DLC Matsuri version?

[awo]

You'll have to find someone selling the DLC code, or borrow the DLC install disc from someone who bought the Cave Shooting Collection.

[DEL]

Ok Thanks.

I'll play a bit more of 1.01 in the meantime.

[awo]

Almost got 400mil with Rafute. Close but no cigar.

[DEL]

^Yowser! Congrats on that one awo!
I will be playing Rafute some more, trying to put myself in the respectability zone.
Just had a run that would have been 355mil, but a couple of mistakes at the end cost me 15mil and all forms of the Last Boss.

Rafute
DEL - 347,014,680 - 2-ALL





Still a shame that I didn't get the 2-ALL a few days ago, when I arrived at the Last Boss with 340mil, which would have given me a 355mil
Every credit of this game produces different results. You can get skanked at any time.

Regs,

DEL

[awo]

Nice improvement!

[DEL]

Cheers ,

Still not quite what I can get on an untroubled run, but there's always trouble. So I'll settle with it.

Ver 1.01
awo - 401,002,380 - 2-ALL - Momo



Very happy to get a 400+mil 2-ALL with Momo, I'd like to do the same with Rafute but I may just settle on my 395mil score, as it's "close enough".

[DEL]

^Congrats!

Do you think Momo has the highest potential or Ikuo?

[awo]

Cheers!

Judging from the Arcade world records, Momo probably still has the overall edge in scoring in 1.01, but it's slight, and only noticeable at a very high level of play (much higher than what I can do). Realistically, Momo and Ikuo are very close in scoring potential, just choose the one that suits your playing style better.

Happy to improve my PB, but I'm not happy with the sloppy first loop in this run (212mil, a couple chain breaks).

Cool graphics for highscore table.

[DEL]

That's just me messing around with my stoopid new camera. Its just a template.
It would be a good high score table for Gun Frontier though....
Hopefully pestro87 will be able to upload the replay onto Youcube. First loop was upped to 180mil and second 178mil. I didn't optimize the Last Boss though.

[CStarFlare]

It's really cool to see how you keep improving at this... you've been going at it for over a year now, but your score has more than doubled since you started entering them into Restart Syndrome. (from this - not plugging, I just think it's neat to look at how you've progressed)
