DEATHSMILES - all versions & modes

[dmauro]

Well done dmauro! It's a nice feeling isn't it?!

I've had to wait once or twice for my score to appear on the online leaderboards. It takes a while sometimes, which is a right pain...

I forgot to mention that after it says it is uploading the score, I get a quick message that pops up too fast for me to make anything out except that it ends in ない so I'm thinking maybe it's not uploading for some reason.

But yeah, it feels good to finally 1CC a Cave game, even if I did have to wimp out a little bit.

[antares]

Wow! Are you doing them all on lvl 3 to score like that without EX antares?

Yes.
If I hadn't lost a life in 3-1 completely unnecessary I could have made 200 millions I believe.

[dmauro]

Almost broke 100 million in XBOX360 mode:
dmauro - 96,339,715 - All Clear - Windia - XBOX360



I always have such a hard time with B1, but this time I managed to get an instant recharge with my power up and use it twice, and I also got the A-2 recharge on the house down. Now if I could just get C2 down, it's so easy to score points in that level, but I can't recharge in the middle.

Right! I'd been playing a lot of Trizeal, but with dmauro chasing me, maybe I'd better tate back my TV and get after your score! Where I failed at Raiden IV, perhaps I can succeed here! Or not...

I've been getting good with Rosa so that I can do all Rank 3 and go into Death Mode (It's much harder for me to catch suicide bullets with Windia and Follet), and while I haven't cleared it yet, I think it will boost my score a lot, so watch out!

Good luck!

I'll be off to Mega Black Label now.

^^You pair of horrors! Why did I throw down a gauntlet?!

I'd better get some time in today, event though it's the weekend and London is uncharacteristically sunny!

[dmauro]

I've run into a small hangup: I've found a huge flaw with my PS2 to 360 adapter, but I might have thought of a work around that I'm going to try tomorrow. I wasn't noticing it too much at first, but now that I'm getting better it's becoming a big problem. Once I get this worked around I'm going to be back with some new high scores

Well - that never happened. Maybe next weekend I'll resist going out!

[nZero]

Let's just put this up for now.

TVR - 125,175,400 - All - Follett - 360

[dmauro]

Still no luck getting past the problem with this adapter It's only an annoyance early on, but when you get to the final level in death mode, it gets you killed fast.

I'm still catching up though. It's nice to break the 100 million mark, even if I didn't clear it all that time.

edit: I've got a solution that I think will work. I'm aiming to beat your score now, Spadgy!

edit: Score updated:
dmauro - 122,576,731 - 4-1 - Rosa - Xbox 360

[antares]

antares - 224,408,117 - All - Follett - 360

If I could manage to do a perfect run I think I could make 270 millions but that will never happen. All those little mistakes are killing me

[Arcade_At_Home]

Hello it's my first post here!!!!! i like this forum...... i love shmups, but i'm not a great player!!!

[spadgy]

[Arcade_At_Home]

Welcome! You can't be that bad - that's a decent enough score...

Thanx!!

i have an ALL CLEAR

[antares]

If someone is interested in the replay of my 224 million run I saw it is in the weekly leaderboards.
Just put the filter on 360 mode, Follett, Ex off, weekly, I'm currently rank 6 there

[powersoul]

I play this game at the arcades, and sadly my side only has about three places that I know imported Deathsmiles as one of their games, with one of them removed some weeks ago.

V1.0 EX - off, ALL

Windia (Played with 4 Level 3, 3.0 life) 169,296,907
Casper (Played with 4 Level 3, 2.5 life) 153,002,012
Follet (Played with 5 Level 3, 5.0 life) 213,936,428
Rosa (Played with 5 Level 3, 3.5 life) 202,530,255

V1.0, EX - on

Windia (4-1, played with 4 Level 3) 149,013,323
Casper (4-2 BOSS, played with 4 Level 3) ... erm, forgot, around 15x million?
Follet (ALL, played with 4 Level 3, 4.5 life) 234,649,107
Rosa (ALL, played with 4 Level 3, 3.5 life) 220,728,639

Not very good scores, I never got around perfecting death mode or even normal mode, keep making mistakes, and not being daring enough to go for the highest level of difficulty the game offers. Guess one gets old as time passes, huh.

[spadgy]

antares! That's awesome!

I'm trying with everything on lvl 3 now. Insanely hard! Having to learn where to trigger gem streaming all over again!

I know it's not called gem streaming, but I'm a Progear man...

[antares]

antares! That's awesome!

Oh, thanks

I managed to get my personal best score of 137 millions in the first six stages today but screwed up in the final stage

But if you want to see something really awesome you should watch the MBL replay from sinmoon.
You can find it in the MBL 360 Sakura leaderboard, it has the All Clear written in red letters.

replay is up at the weekly leaderboard for download.

[spadgy]

Will do antares.

I put some time in to doing everything on lvl.3 on Friday, but it's like learning the game again. My 'scoring' pattern is all over the place now. So those replay's will really help...

[Elixir]

Elixir - 4,780,723,204 - ALL - Windia (ver 1.1)

Old score, but I apparently didn't post it at the time.

[OldSchoolGamer86]

Today is a great day. Today I 1CC'd my first shmup...EVER. And it happens to be one of my favorite shmups..Death Smiles. Not only did I 1CC it, I topped my old high score.



This is the original PCB.

Nice one, my (far superior) rival! I'll check out your run as soon as I have a chance...

[antares]

Well, you almost got my score in Raiden IV so I can't be that superior.

Also I fear it's down already as it was only in the weekly leaderboards. And I surely won't ever make it into the top 10 all time rankings

I'm now playing ver1.1, great fun really. I needed a few runs to get used to the controls (I never play shmups with a pad) but now I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
