Gigamanta's last form? The trap vulcan?
Yes, there is. Don't move.

Do I need to be perfectly between two beams at their widest?

Yes.
You can tell when Gigamanta is about to fire, as it stops moving. At that point, you should stop moving as well, to minimise any adjustments that need to be made.

Can't say I'll ever play this again. Random stages just makes my dick itch.

You can always enable stage edit.... and select your first 5 stages..... in dipswitches

Isn't that cheating though?

Yeah, stage edit isn't allowed on this high score board. That's why my 14 million Advance score was never put on the board.

Is it not? Stage Edit was used for all my runs.
I doubt it'd be disqualified from use seeing as it's used in optimal scoring routes in both Bakraid and Batrider. Best to get clarification from Rastan78, though.

Me too. Would be stupid not to use it. And frustrating!

I don't think so. The first post says full default dips, but manually entered codes are ok so it's kind of ambiguous. I just assumed it wasn't since the advanced score I submitted and said might not count because of stage edit was never added to the table.

You mean this?

It hasn't been added as the table was last updated before you posted it.
If it's still not updated within the next week, I'll send him a PM and see if he wants to hand over maintaining table duties.

Acid King · Post by **Acid King** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 3:24 pm

Yeah, that's it. I hadn't even noticed he never updated the table. Strange, since he has posted since then.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 4:10 pm

Rastan78 is busy moving...that's likely why he's not updated the table.

A high score and my first 1CC w00t!
