Easiest way to beat him? Collect all lives (including 1up on stage 3) and no-miss until TLB.... good luck and don't die on his first patternsdolph wrote:I finally reached a score that I can be also in the arrange table :>
257.504.610 - dolph - Stage 5
I got half of the TLB but then I had no lives left. :F

Whee, I got a score that doesnt suck!!!
Arrange mode:
Bridget - 331,013,536 - Stage 5
Sat down today and decided to actually TRY the scoring system in this mode for the first time, and that was the result.
Now if I could just get to the final boss with at least one more life..... I came SO close to beating that galdurned THING at the end, but noooooooooooooo.

I updated the scores, and capped the hi score lists at 20 slots each to make the lists less inflated and more competitive. I also got rid of the "arrange mode (rapid fire)" chart, and put HDJ at #1 in the arrange mode chart. Rapid fire doesn't affect your score in Arrange, so the ghost chart was a bit pointless in retrospect.
Well, it's unfortunate but I can't get better at scoring in Maniac mode. The score I have posted was done with a PS2 controller, and I can't seem to replicate it with my HRAP. That thing takes serious training, man!
So... maybe I'll play it on Arrange or Original. I dunno, I'm just fed up with Maniac... the time being. You guys are nuts.

I got both of my Maniac mode high scores using a PS2 dualshock controller. Since I switched to a HRAP or other arcade joystick, I haven't been able to get near those scores. Stick with the Dualshock if you're used to it, you can get some great scores with it!!Aquas wrote:Well, it's unfortunate but I can't get better at scoring in Maniac mode.

FINALLY took the top score on my PCB! Died twice in the beginning of Stage 5, which I usually don't do, but survived the rest. I can probably make it with one more life if I'm lucky, trying to trim down the number of bombs I use. I was kinda surprised how much my base score before lives went up from the end of stage bonuses.
To prove that it wasn't a fluke, I went and got 42 mil my very next run o_O;
Original - 43,334,156 – Kenchan – ALL (Lx3) – PCB

So uh, any pointers for Maniac? I'm still really inconsistent in getting thru it, and I still can't score over 40 mil lol

MANIAC MODE
191,830,407 - MHK - stage 4 - PCB
After reaching 180 million at the end of stage 3 with 4 lives left, I made a mess of simply everything at stage 4, including colliding with the head of the mid-boss while doing "up and down" below it, seeing my six-digit counter evaporating. The game ended ignominously in the second phase of the stage 4 boss.
