STGT'09 Week 2 - Raiden Fighters Jet

[croikle]

Are you sure that's not rank? I'm not trying to dismiss possible emulation issues. : )

I figure that there aren't rank management methods other than dying and not scoring, so NER would have far nastier rank than me. Unless it's inverse rank, where they go away if you score well enough.

Plus, they get drawn over the boss, and it looks very odd .

Man, it's like an unspoken rule that I have to fuck runs up. I died on the last bullet that could kill me in stage 30. Had I survived, I would have entered stage 45 with 2 bombs, 2 lives, and 74m points... if everything goes right, I smell an 85 mil score. We'll see.

DISAPPOINTMENT MAX! uFOOOOOO!

Seriously though, I have no idea how I got that. I couldn't even break 15m, and then all of a sudden I got into this huge groove where I just had everything go smoothly for me where I didn't drop medals, got bonuses, stayed alive without bombs, and even the bosses too before my mom got scared and she said, "You're moving with your Auntie and Uncle in Bel-Air."

Yeah, it's mainly the layers/sprite priorities that are messed up in the MAME build we're forced to use to run the game at all. 90% of the time, my own bullets are actually behind the background plane. They hit the enemies like they are supposed to, but they appear invisible. I have no such problems with the enemies' bullets for most of the game, but I suspect some of their bullets are disappering behind layers in phase 1, too. It's definitely not the fast twin bullets Zaarock mentioned that get me there. It happened at least twice to me that my ship just blew up out of the blue with no visible bullet on screen there.

Another slight improvement

I die everytime I try to get the first miclus in phase 2. You'd think I'd stop doing that, huh?

[stanski]

There was a small error in the score i posted, I did not correctly write it down apparantly. Here is my correct score:

stanski - Team Sweet Tacos - 101,091,080 - Phase 2 - Miclus - RFA (JP version)

Sorry about that everyone in the competition, i have shitty hand writing and just went back and looked at my score while attempting some runs tonight. Haven't gotten any good ones though .

[zakk]

I'm totally ok with you helping me close the gap

[dex]

meepers: you are the best. I'm starting your fanclub now

Scoreboard updated.

[KennyMan666]

Er, I just noticed I made a mistake when entering my latest score, putting in 100k more than it should be.

Correct score is 35,051,112.

Phew! My route post sim15, 30(sky assault)-Ocean-Ph1-Ph2. Because I made it to Phase 2 with a life, I was able to use bombs somewhat liberally which really helped me reach 100M. The other big things were getting 8x fairy girder in Sim15, and like 8 mil at the end of 01. Pretty excited about this, I beat my personal best from two years ago by 18mil

Only lost one life on level30 boss this time and almost managed to beat the second form without any bombs. The Phase 1 boss only had a tiny bit of health left when I got game over.

I keep losing a life on level15 95% of the time which is starting to get on my nerves as it prevents me from progressing.

"Tactical" suicide on Simulation 15 to avoid invisibullets on Simulation 30.
Instant death upon entering Phase 1. I am not ready for REAL battle.

Hit my target of 50M yesterday so I think that's a good place to stop for now.

No proof picture, but the score does appear on the RFA Japanese leaderboards: Arcade Difficulty, Gamertag is Dr Fugue.

All cloud stages in all STG destroy me. Batsugun, Garegga, you name it, it has killed me.

Instant death upon entering Phase 1. I am not ready for REAL battle.

Same here, when I first entered Phase 1. What kind of completely inaccurate simulation is that?

Now, here's an idea ...

That's a damn crazy score, meepers. o_0
I'm most impressed.
