on MAME on the Japan rom, the slave ships are not available at the start, but the slave ships work on every other romset, but the others have 2 loops as default.

Anyway, I've scored about 52m on the main rom (rdft2) lately, but could that count here?

new high for me: 19.385.870 other than that everything is the same (still stage 3

man this game is pretty hard)...

Here is a nice little guide to getting all the bonuses in this game.

Edit: They don't like direct linking, so just go to Gamefaqs and search for the guide done by Lynx. Very well done guide.

Nice progression, sven666. I took me a long time but you will start getting the 100k medals by the end of stage one. It's level 3 that still gives me a hard time. Some of those destroyed at a times require some risky maneuvers. Stage 6 and 7 I hardly even worry about some of the micluses (micli?) and fairies because I'm still too worried about just getting the all clear.

@Smraedis: That's a good question, but I think I'm going to have to limit this thread to the Japan rev only for the sake of simplicity. I would have to accept only scores completed only up to a certain level and it would get messy. There is another RF2 thread that has 2 loop scores already.

What I could do is have two categories. One for slave ships and one for all non-slave ships in order to level the playing field for those without the slave code.

Sounds like a good idea, I think there should be a way to get it working, but then I just wouldn't be able to record it..

Couldn't those 2 loops scores be playing on the easy 2k version with like 5 bombs and such?

haha you wish

ive got that gamefaqs guide too, its ok atleast for me as a beginner.
i usually get my medals up to gold level before stage 3 (sometimes beginning of stage 3), but i have a hard time keeping the 100K ones, havent learnt how all the trains come crashing down yet..

2 score tables seem like a good idea, watching the raiden onslaught DVD there really seems to be a huge difference in hitbox.

20.963.330 (everythings the same otherwise)

aww FUCK! actually got the 3rd boss burning quite a bit thistime, ofcourse i died with a full bombstock too

how does ranking work in this game, i felt 3rd stage was alot easier this time (died once on 1st boss and all my other lives on 3d boss, got 100K medals by 1st miclus on 3rd stage)

anyone know how to get the jap rom working? the normal rfjet.zip works fine but the rfjetj.zip comes back with files missing or something, can anyone help?

I think its based on time alive, my best runs are always when I have lost at least one ship before the 3rd boss.. I had a really good run today, and on 1-5 I lost all 3 ships in a really short time

21.747.990 - stage 4

wooohooo!!!

finally beat stage 4, bonus pushed me up 2.5mil points

stupidly died on 3rd enemy on stage 4 oycourse

Okay, divided up the scoring. Sven, I know you can beat my Judge Spear score!

Congrats on finishing stage 3. Stage 3 is a bit of a wall and then it is followed by two more short, relatively easy stages and a long hard stage 6. This stage setup took me a while to get used to. It's like playing sets of two short, quick Psikyo length stages followed by a third very long Battle Garegga type stage with much larger point gains on the all important stages 3 and 6.

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Sat Nov 19, 2005 11:28 pm

hell yeah, 41mil isnt impossible..

24.302.500 stage 3

got 100K medlas by start of stage 2, fucked up my 2 lives on 2nd boss but kept going and managed to keep 100K thru to stage 3 boss which is a real bastard if you dont have any bombs. no miclus or fairies on stage 3

its a typical "shitty run with a good score"

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Sun Nov 20, 2005 1:10 am

25.852.460 still stage 3..

getting better att my meddaling tho

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 5:42 pm

31.922.620 - stage 4

guess im the only one playing this?

how do i get the miclus on the air-base (stage 1 or 2) level that shows up near the big tank where you have to "defend the tanks" theres a plane on the right that a miclus crawls out under sometimes. its not mentioned in the gamefaqs strat.

also i still havent unlocked any extra ships

also why not add a scoretable for the US revision players, that other thread is dead. (wha are the differences anyway?)

Rastan78 · Post by **Rastan78** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 7:51 pm

Nice progression, sven.

On that miclus, you have to get all three defended the tanks bonuses without destroying the big tank. You can take out the turret, but not the whole tank. Just remember that the bonuses are given for actually cancelling the bullets once they are fired. You will probably go through two bombs but don't fire while bombing or you'll destroy the tank too soon. You want to leave the tank alive anyway because he will release a fairy later.

IIRC there is a pretty detailed description of this in the FAQ where he describes how to get the 100k medals by the end of stage 1.

ok thanks for the tip, getting that fairy is more of a hassle than a reward if you dont manage to destroy the back cannon, but atleast now iknow how to get the miclus, should speed up my pregress a bit

i almost always have 100K medals by the end of stage 2, atleast always goldmedal mode

stage 3 is still a bitch because im so greedy, anyways ill dethrone you soon

gotta get a review up for this one too before guwange and Cyvern arrive

You can always hang out right by the spinning cannon to cancel the shots. Just don't forget to sweep over to the left side between cannon shots to take out the two tanks that try to sneak up on you.
