Started on Harder mode last night, got this score after a short session this afternoon.

HARDER MODE
2,933,640 - TWE - Stage 2 - Bond (Type C) - PS2

Man that second boss in harder mode is a real pain. Can't wait for my Lunatic DVD to arrive so I can get some tips!

Harder:

3,591,320 - Cowboy-NOA - Stage 2 - Bond (A) - PS2

died right before the second boss.i saw him in another run earlier and especially his second form is a real beast

I've been stagnating in this game for weeks. I've been averaging 2.2 to 2.7 million without managing to increase my maximum. Thankfully I finally nailed a good medalling pattern in stage two and chalked up the following:

Normal mode

3,444,450 - Daigohji - Stage 3 - Bond (Type D) - PS2

Damn you Plasmo! btw I just ordered the PCB kit. I'm getting serious with this game now.

yay TWE! im really looking forward to have another great shmup player playing Ibara!
Are you going to play Arcade Mode or just Harder?

Daigohji · Post by **Daigohji** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 9:55 pm

Thanks for keeping the scoreboard up to date, Icarus. Could you swap my score around with Neocps2's? I'm a little bit short of his score, so I should be in 27th position, not 26th.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 6:10 am

@Plasmo

I'll be playing both Normal and Harder. Obviously if I can't 1CC the game in normal yet, it's a bit silly for me to try to 1CC Harder atm. However Harder mode is fun, and I'll try and beat your score(s)!

My PCB kit is on the way, but now I need to find a supergun to play it. Oh the hilarity!

I thought you had a supergun already?
Or is this the first step on the slippery slope towards credit card debt and stacks of PCB boxes? ^_-

Correct.

This is my first PCB purchase, and I'll be getting a supergun for it. I think I'm getting one of the D-lite superguns.

Anyway, I need a supergun for when Mushi Futari comes out and drops to the $1000 level. I thought Ibara would be a nice starter kit, as it's brand new from excellentcom for only $373. That's just an amazing price.

I used to have a cab myself, but sold it when I moved house. I have one of these now with a NeoCD joypad and it works well enough, although I need to find a convertor to let me use a Saturn or Saturn-style PS2 pad on it.

The D-Lites are quite nice. I wouldn't spend too much on a supergun though, as they're quite easy to make given the parts, some soldering skill and a bit of patience. ^_-

I thought you would have been one of the first to crack when Mushi Futari was announced. Just like I did with Ibara, and GaijinPunch with Espgaluda 2. ^_-

Yeah, all the people buying the new Ibara kits now did the smart thing and waited - under $400 is a great price. I got mine a month after release off YAJ, for the low low price of 140,000Y... -_-;;

You'll have a while to wait though if you're expecting Mushi Futari to drop in price. Especially given how long Mushi's price stayed up, even after the port appeared.

40,227,790 - SalemWitchTrials! - ALL - Bond (Type D)

Kinda crap score, but my 1st 1CC for this. Arrange is 10 times more fun than arcade mode. No matter how much I try, I can't get myself to enjoy the arcade mode. Maybe I'm missing something.

You can just buy a modified saturn pad with a d-15 connector built in. D-Lite sells brand new clear Japanese pads modded for this for $45. Check out his website www.multimods.com to order. I'm going to get one soon!
For the time being I bought a D-lite component gun (with component video output, neobitz converter inside) and a mint boxed original Hori Fighting Stick Neo (for the Neo Geo) as my setup. About $350 total.

I thought you would have been one of the first to crack when Mushi Futari was announced. Just like I did with Ibara, and GaijinPunch with Espgaluda 2. ^_-

No, I'm not paying $2000+ for any game. I'll wait, maybe until as late as next summer. In the meantime the original Mushi PCB should go down in price (unless the sequel is some crap game), and I'll probably pick that up. I also want to get an Espgaluda II kit before the end of the year.

im so close to get D but now its not worth it anymore.

Post by **Icarus** » Sat Aug 12, 2006 1:56 pm

Grats on the new score Cigs. ^_^
You have the PCB now?

I haven't played it for weeks. The third stage drives me nuts, keep making the tiniest mistake that fucks up a good start in stage 1 and 2. -_-;;

Maybe after I hit a few targets in G-Darius.

Thanks Plasmo and Icarus! Yeah, I received a new kit from excellent earlier in the week. The crisp graphics and zero loading are making me a happy dude. Now to buy the DVD.

Nice scores Cigs. But why are you playing Harder mode on the PS2 when you just got the PCB. Typo?

cigsthecat · Post by **cigsthecat** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 1:56 am

Thanks twe.

I forgot that the PCB has Harder and Extended available via codes. Thanks for the reminder, looks like the PS2 port can officially start collecting dust.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 2:01 am

What codes? I'm getting the PCB in a day or two, and would like to enter them myself.

Post by **Icarus** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 2:18 am

Hold UP and press START to get Harder Mode.
Hold DOWN and press START to get Extended Mode.
Do some button juggling to enable the modes and your preferred ship. ^_-

Thanks!

up + start: HARDER
down + start: EXTENDED

edit- beaten to it

Gosh, I could go over 80mil. I miss the 300 jackpot at the end of Teresa...Rank was not full..arrgh

Post by **Icarus** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 4:38 pm

Congrats! Made it into 2nd place there. ^_-
You can get about 6mil from Teresa exploding at maximum rank, which should put you comfortably over 80mil. ^_-

watching the lunatic insanity dvd has greatly improved my score game, ive scored more points than my previous score at stage 4 and this time i only made it to stage 3 near the end of it. i was milking stage 2 boss midi for 3 million.
