Best place to get a ton of bombs is Plant... destroy all the treads of the big green tanks THEN destroy the actual tank for a big bomb per tank. Then you get to invariably fuck up your medal chaining bombing the girders at the end

I played Battle Garegga for a week and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

...I mean, crappy score after being pwned by Blackheart (I guess all the practice in Xeno Fighters EX-R didn't pay off after all)

Major scoring fail, but decent survival for once!

screencap

Small gain, but I'm happy for now and calling it a week. Gonna try for 7 mil by end of next week.

edit: Doh! It's Cloud I reached, not Plant.

well then do yourself a favour and head over to the strategy forum with the extensive battle garegga thread .

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:44 pm

And while you're at it, do yourself another favour and don't play with super low scoring ships like Flying Baron. This ship is especially difficult to use.

Don't listen to him, Battle Garegga, he's crazy.

Tigershark · Post by **Tigershark** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 9:16 pm

I tried an experiment today by playing the MAME version (been playing the Saturn version) and straight away I felt a difference. It's difficult to pinpoint but I think the game ran slightly slower (the ships appeared to be same speed but the bullets seemed slower and easier to navigate and the medals appeared easier to pick up). I've got a decent spec PC too so that shouldn't be the reason. Anyone else notice this?

Edit: This didn't improve my score any however!

That sounds like plain old rank.

charlie chong · Post by **charlie chong** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 6:40 am

rubbish improvement. got to base a few times but never on a better go. still got to learn the madball trick properly as it never seems to work with me with wild snail but dunno if i got time.

the trick with bombing the outside turrets? wait until the inner ones activate, suicide, get right in the middle and have faith. also it won't work if he's too high up... i usually end up getting an extend from it just as my ship goes which is always exciting

charlie chong · Post by **charlie chong** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 11:19 am

yup that's what i been trying to do.. not working so far tho

Inferior distance, but superior score. I'm a flamingo-bombing champ now

DoubleThink - The Team With No Name - 3,106,090 - Factory - BornNaM (ABC) - MAME

I think I'll to stick with this setup. I'm never going to beat stage 4 anyways, but with any (read: a lot of) luck I can squeeze 4mil out of it.

@charlie: Doing the mad ball trick with the wild snail is way too complicated. It's far easier with Gain.
