Good job third_strike!
Now it's time for me to play this gem again, I guess.

@Acid King
The end bonus is close to zero. If third_strike would've cleared the game with his last credit he would've gotten something around 1,84 probably.
That 2,5bill WR score remains a complete mystery...

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 12:57 pm

Really the end bonus is nothing.
But is possible 1B until the stage 4 and Randorama think about 1,2B for this stage.

Cool!

Third_strike - 1,928,775,000 - Stage 5 - EHH - 78

Several mistakes in stage 3!
My fist time in 2nd life bar of boss 5 (I lose in second pattern).

Cool!

I bought a memory card and after a life time testing the game today I made this run.

Third_strike - 1,983,529,000 - Stage 5 - EHH - 79

I lost 4 times in the first stage but still reached the stage 4 with 1 BIL.
I lost in second life bar of boss 5.

I wanna 2,020,000,000 + and this is possible with my current strategies.
But I can not stop now because I have not unlocked all the pictures in the gallery.

Cool!

This would be my retirement, but I sucked in stage 5 and I lost with one bomb in stock.

cool!

You need to record a replay somehow. I would pay to see it.

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:31 pm

I would pay to see it.

Me too!

Men can I see my 210 (perhaps 220 with suicides applied in boss 4) with my current strategies (not that I can do this). I do not think about high scores but lost 400-300 million sounds like something big in a closed game like homura. I shall be making a big mistake.

if you are still interested my max scores in each stage are:

Stage 1: 412 M (420 is quite possible)
Stage 2: 350 M (but I always do 340)
Stage 3: 260 M
Stage 4: 959 M (in my last run, but I always miss 33 million in the boss and not use suicide techniques. I have some big problems with the first life bar of boss, but I'm working on it).
Stage 5: manageable for 100 M

This is worthy to pay?

Ps: My gallery is not yet complete.

Cool!

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:17 am

How on EARTH do you get 412mill on stage 1?????? What do you have before the boss? What gives you the most points at the boss? I'm reflecting everything and I'm not getting over 370mill.

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 9:21 pm

Plasmo are you playing this game?
My stage 1 is like:

60M - 244M - 377M after boss +38M end stage bonus - 415M (today).

Last form of boss milking is like (number of bullets reflected):

100+100(60 always for me)+60+275+110+100+60+275+110

Cool!

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 8:07 pm

I reached my goal in one no too good run!

Third_strike - 2,026,655,000 - Stage 5 - EHH - 79

I fucked several good runs in stage 4(even one whit 423M in stage 1
and another whit 270M in stage 3).
This run end in fist life bar of boss 5.
Now is time for try All, let see if I can do it, I will need no miss too until the boss 4.
I am very slow

Cool!

nash87 - 1,214,509,000 - Stage 4 - EEH - 78

I get my 2nd life extend towards the end of the first boss, is this good? everytime i get to stage 5 i end up continuing since there is no practice, if only there was.
As for the multiplier carrying over between slash combos: your leftover multiplier is factored in to your next slash combo. let's say the current multiplier is 20, and you slash 50 enemies (all worth 1x), your resulting multiplier will be (I'm probably off by a few) 54. I still can't determine what the equation is for the resulting multiplier. If there was a practice mode i could probably solve it.
A=current multiplier
B=enemies slashed/comboed
C=resulting multiplier
n=you tell me

(Axn)+B+=C

Stage 3 screws my score, i can't seem to get my multiplier up to a decent number

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 11:15 am

The formula is (A/2)+B=C

nash87 · Post by **nash87** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 7:52 am

thanks plasmo. you're postive about this right? i thought it would have been reduced way more than just half

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Thu Jan 01, 2009 12:56 pm

Third_strike - 2,103,312,000 - Stage 5 - EHH - 81

Scored in past year.
I will take one picture this later for prove.
It is incredible as I still can not All this game!

Cool!

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Thu Jan 01, 2009 5:41 pm

One picture of my last score:

My current high score stages:

Stage 1: 423Mil
Stage 2: 370Mil
Stage 3: 270Mil
Stage 4: 1,03Bill
Stage 5:

Max multiplier:

Stage 1: x58
Stage 2: x66 (hard timing I always do 64-63)
Stage 3: x43 (done one time)
Stage 4: x82 (done one time)
Stage 5: ??

That 2,5bill WR score remains a complete mystery...

About WR score I thinking:

Stage 1: 435Mil
Stage 2: 385Mil
Stage 3: 285Mil
Stage 4: 1,25Bill (suicide strategies)
Stage 5: 165Mil (suicide strategies and bomb strategies)

Cool!

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 1:29 pm

Finally All

Third_strike - 2,111,942,000 - ALL - EHH - 80

Two stupid miss in stage two, suicide in boss 4. 50% in stage 5 because I reached this stage with two live and zero bombs .

Thanks to everyone who assisted me!

Cool!

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 2:15 pm

Really excellent stuff third_strike! Congratulations!
If you could just do replays....

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 2:43 pm

Ok!

This game has no replay mode.
So what I need to make one?
And how I do that?
You can PM me.

Cool!

I need stop of play this
Cool!

Third_strike - 2,182,498,000 - 5 - EHH - 90

I wonder if is possible one higher multiplier!

In order of enjoy this multiplier I will need improve my boss 4 and boss 5 strategy.
My goal now is 90% of WR.

Cool!

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 6:05 am

Where and how do you get 90?!

That score is bloody impressive! I won't ever try to beat this anymore, my skill is not enough.

third_strike · Post by **third_strike** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 3:27 am

1st round:
x3 (fist group of enemies)
x? (next group)
x68( you know where)
x70 (you now where)
mid boss fast kill
2nd round
x? (you know where)
x90 (You know where, but in order of get this multiplier only let scape the two fist group of enemies (one in right one in left) then slash you will know the exact moment. I discovered this in one error.
Doubts?
Try and let know if you manage it.

With my strategies you can beat my score easily since you are a player more skilled than me.
My greatest achievement was 3,8 Bil in Shikigami no Shiro, it is really hard(time and score), but I still wanna 4 Bil in next future.

Cool!

Stupid mistake in multiplier.

Damn, man, you just keep throwing them up there. Shame you can't record replays. I'd really love to see that shit.

Done!

After one lifetime afraid today I got courage for play this seriously and reach my goal.

Third_strike - 2,290,053,000 - 5 - EHH - 90

No ALL because I love do stupids mistakes, one miss in stage one but I don't like of reset my runs.
I think I'm happy with that, then I need stop here.
Thanks to everyone who assisted me with this:
Acid_king, Edo, Carmen (rando's notes), Kiken and Plasmo (I would stop in 350M in stage 1 without see your notes)

Here is one BLACK AND WHITE 425M stage 1 replay with the legendary x47 and x59 multipliers (I never did this multipliers before and I never will do this again because it is very time restricted), but I sucked in star pattern of boss, (it need be 320-340). I don't get put color in this replay(????).

http://rapidshare.com/files/188520316/02.wmv

I think I can do one BLACK AND WHITE replay and then share it stage by stage, if anyone cares about. I would not play in ideal conditions, but I think I can do a good score. I would love tips for put color in this.

Cool!

Acid King · Post by **Acid King** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 1:12 pm

Well done, third_strike. I think the highest multiplier I ever hit on stage 1 was in the mid 50's. It's easy to see how you could push even your stage 1 score higher with riskier positioning, which is one of the things that always drove me nuts about this game. You know that if you're in the right spot at the right moment you can get a killer reflection, but usually you wind up running into a bullet or something and just look like a jack ass.
