It says Japan everywhere and has extend items, so I really doubt it. If you're looking at the inp/rom name then most likely "u" stands for Unlimited and not US.

Might have been able to stretch this to a 1cc but had a few fuck ups in round 5 and died at the boss.

Very nice! Have you tried Flame Viper C? If so, why do you pick A? Is there something better about it that I should know about? :)

I do C runs from time to time, but I like A because I prefer having the extra powered standard shot when bombs are active on screen. It seems to help milking Cyclops, since you can dislodge the side turrets a bit easier before they slide in to the bomb. I tend to keep my options set in in the third style, with all options lined up in front of the ship, and it gives me a little extra juice for point blanking certain enemies and for concentrating fire on certain pieces of bosses.

Interesting, I'll have to give that a shot then! I've needed to get the hang of the Cyclops milk anyways.

I think it's easier to do than Axebeak but the beginning can be tricky if the rank is high going in to the fight. I've tried carrying all 4 or 5 extends from Axebeak in to it and it's a sight easier with a death in the stage. I've been going Train>Seaside>Naval>Desert so I can practice him, I think the most I've pulled from him so far is ~6 million.

After many years, I finally decided to switch over to Advanced. I really have to get the boss rush down, I coast until then and I usually end up dropping one or two lives before Gigamanta. This run I died on Gigamanta's final form.

Acid King - 27,413,330 - Flame Viper [A] - Stage 6 (SE)

EDIT:

Might as well add my new Normal Course score while I'm at it.

Updated.

For further reference, if you're posting an updated score please make note of the previous entry # that score replaces/over-writes. Thanks.

I can't believe this run happened, got exactly the order I needed from the Cloud midbosses so I went for it and snagged a 50000x64 from Gargoyle (brown guy), then took all the score from Gigamanta's tail too, also some unusual scoring in Valley where you can get lots of 5000x64 if you destroy the miniturrets in the turret wall with shot and not bomb, rest was my usual hijinks and with some survival it was enough for this score

Great score man, very impressive. So does that make you the first westerner to reach the original release counterstop?

Thanks, guys, I think I am the first counterstop-wise unless the french players at shmup.com have some surprises for us, I actually kinda want to play the limited version and trigger the counterstop for real, just for show and that Gus feel. :)
Next I'll try for 67m to finally go over half the WR, that was a goal for this year and there should still be enough time.

Edit 6: Disregard these scores, see my higher scores later in the thread.
Spoiler

Advance Course:

Code: Select all

Shepardus - 19667890 - Flame Viper [C] - 6
(Stage edit used, Railroad -> Desert -> Naval -> Seaside)

You know a game hasn't gotten enough attention when all it takes to get into the top 10 is properly scoring on the first stage.

Edit:
Image
Normal Course:

Code: Select all

Shepardus - 19531870 - Flame Viper [C] - 6 Boss
(Stage edit used, Desert -> Railroad -> Naval -> Seaside)
Damn, almost got a Normal Course clear but had a ton of silly unintentional deaths. At least I have cleared normal before, but that was with a score of 5-6 million.

Edit 2: Updated my normal course score with a slightly higher score. Still didn't manage to clear though, let's see if I can get over 20mil.

Edit 3: And here's a special course score.
Image
Boss Only:

Code: Select all

Shepardus - 13588740 - Flame Viper [C] - 7
Edit 4: Updated advance course score with a higher score.

Edit 5: And again.

Been playing this again this week for fun, actually sitting down to practice the chains properly now, and documenting some things I find.
First session playing with the new chaining routes.

Died to Gigamanta's last form. D:
I'll post a proper score once I get around to obliterating this one. Shouldn't take long I think.
