STGT'10 Week 4: Raiden Fighters 2

[nZero]

nZero - Drink N Fly - 56,384,570 - S-7 - Fairy - RFA

I need more practice with the mk-IIβ, harder to survive with it in this game vs RFJ

[phrenzee]

phrenzee - Team Denmark - 11,271,390 - 3 - Slave - Mame

I always forget what slave I'm using, maybe I should just stick to one

[KBZ]

Another cup of espresso, another score!

Kingbuzzo - League of Generally Nice People - 21,529,920 - 5 - Slave (Death Header) - MAME

[RGC]

RGC - Team Casino Royale - 33,635,690 - 6 - Slave (Judge Spear) - MAME

[clp]

Man this game is easy. Either rank was bugged for me or I don't know what because dodging in RF2 is so much easier than dodging in RFJ. Oh well. Might improve this at some point, I missed a couple micluses and fairies and didn't graze nearly as much as I should have been.

ShadowWraith - Team Sweet Tacos - 85,366,880 - ALL - Slave (Blue Javelin) - MAME

How are you scoring so high? i miss only 3 micluses in my whole game and 100k the whole way with still only 69mill approaching red eye .

MR_Soren - Let's Destroy STGT '10 - Raiden Fighters 2 - 4,361,100 - 3 - Hell Diver - UberMAME

Well, at least I'm ahead of some people...

Not a huge fan of this, but I'm starting to get a feel for it. Still need to read up on the secrets. Anyway, here are some screens to start my week: *



Screens!



* Yeah, I know it's already Wednesday. My Monday scores were on the wrong version and my Tuesday scores all sucked, so this is my first score post this week.

[Voxbox]

Voxbox - Team Sweden - 36,011,180 - 5 - Slave (Judge Spear) - MAME

And that was just my warmup

...didn't go so well afterwards though.

[Kyper]

Kyper - Team Blast Destiny - 42,148,460 - 4 - Judge Spear - RFA (US)

Minor improvement. I think I need to use more bombs for survival. And I'm not even making an attempt to graze anything...

[Jason...]

Jason... - Wishi Washi - 4,637,870 - 3 - Hell Diver - RFA

[ShadowWraith]

How are you scoring so high? i miss only 3 micluses in my whole game and 100k the whole way with still only 69mill approaching red eye .

You get a 10 mil bonus for the ALL clear. I had 71mil coming off of Red Eye into the TFB (and that includes gratuitous milking). If you have 69mil going into Red Eye you'll easily have around 75mil coming off of it.

[BulletMagnet]

BulletMagnet - Team Loser - 46,118,140 - 7 - Slave (Hell Diver) - MAME

I'm tempted to try for the ALL just for the heck of it (my kingdom for extends!), but I doubt I'll have time, so I'd better submit this.

[TLB]

m3tall1ca - Fatloli Luftwaffe - 53,906,850 - 6 - Slave (FURIOUS SPEAR) - RFA (US)

It's too bad I didn't discover the Dark Sword before this run. I don't have time the rest of the week to play anymore (not that I'd really want to), so I guess this'll have to do. Fun game. I probably never would have played it if it hadn't been in STGT, so thanks dex :P Took me about two hours of constant restarts to figure out the damn X-medals though, and in stage 1, no less. Didn't realize there were guides everywhere >_>

I give mad props to you guys who can play games you don't necessarily want to play for weeks on end, as hard as you can. Week 1? Cyvern? Okay, I can do this. Week 2. Xexex. Okay, that was pretty...shitty. I feel mutilated. Week 3. Mars Matrix.....Week 4! Good game! Five and a half hours later though, do I really still want to play this game? Yes, but not really.

I look forward to W5 ^_-

EDIT: oh and some funny stuff about that run...I watched the replay and I lost all my spare stock before the train in stage 3 even started moving. I had never been past stage 3 before. I lost my first life on the first boss, but was too lazy to restart, as I died just as it did. LESSON: QUIT FUCKING RESTARTING (at least if you have x-medals already)

Hurr durr let's miss all the train micluses and die randomly while at it

[Kollision]

Kollision - Garrincha Shooting Team - 17,515,760 - 3 - Flying Ray - 360

I think I've finally come to a consistent way to deal with the stage 1 medalling strategy.
Now for some secrets on further stages and sheer survival....

[Battletoad]

Battletoad - Fatloli Luftwaffe - 27,835,230 - 5 - Slave (Hell Diver) - MAME

I keep on losing my medal chain in stage 3, gotta practice that more.

[The Coop]

I honestly don't think I can best this...



The Coop - Team Oldschoolers - 71,849,520 - All - Slave (Raiden-MKIIB) - MAME

[KennyMan666]

This is a first. Ever.

Team Sweden has three scores posted. Mine is now the highest. I HAVE REDEEMED MYSELF.

[Juganawt]

Never played any of the Raiden Fighters games before - not played since Raiden 1 on Atari Jaguar! I have to get used to the scenery / NME collision deaths before I can get a respectable score...... this score is merely a placeholder.

Juganawt - Team Underdogs - 1,800,020 - 2? - Slave Spear - MAME

[dex]

Bah. I suck.
