List of Western and World records

[Hagane]

I thought it would be useful to have all Western STG records along with world records for easy comparison. I used the list at http://cowboy.ikaruga.co.uk/ as a template, updated it with some western scores I got here and the world records from http://benjamin.bouloch.free.fr/arcade-worldrecord.htm , Gemant's work at http://arcade-extreme.forumfree.it/?t=48529048 and http://cowboy.ikaruga.co.uk/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=147

Feel free to contribute with new WR scores, pointing inaccuracies, request to add new games, etc.

[Bananamatic]

Didn't Khoa also counterstop Mars Matrix? And Prometheus has the western DOJBL one too I think.

Also, I bet there is someone out there with better western Psyvariar(Revision) scores out there...

[Hagane]

Updated PROMETHEUS' DOJBL score, but I can't find higher scores for Psyvariar revision in any of my sources. In the index Rob appears over Khoa with type 2 so I guess I'll add him? I'm not familiar with MM, does exp. count for higher scores when there's a counterstop? Or do I put the one who did the counterstop first?

[Bananamatic]

I dunno if you should count the time of the clear - I'd either count all counterstops as equal or find out the dates and post them as runner ups. And wow, lots of people counterstopped it here.

I've asked one Psyvariar player for his scores - he is pretty damn good from what I've seen but he hasn't uploaded any scores or full runs yet.

[CIT]

Good thread!

What's the deal with Mushihimesama Futari Ultra? Does the counter stop at 4 bn?

Also, NTSC-J has the best Western Gunbird 2 score.

[Hagane]

For the time being I'll just add Rob for Mosquito 2, corrected oseiaswgi who used Mosquito 1.

EDIT: Updated NTSC-J's Gunbird 2 score. As far as I know, yes, that's a counterstop.

EDIT2: Does anyone have WRs for Deathsmiles II and DDP Daifukkatsu BL?

Thanks for the responses!

Edit: same goes for Esgaluda's PS2 arrange mode.
Does anyone think (or know where) we could find these?

[RNGmaster]

I have the western record on one edition of StellaVanity. Not sure if that's worth contributing since it is a trial.

[Gus]

Here's some more WRs

http://www.cave-stg.com/forum/index.php?topic=1385.0

Also the western records in the Futari thread here are kind of out of date. Here's some more recent ones

[Chaos Phoenixma]

There's also a slightly higher western score on Dangun Feveron with a no miss Uo Poko. You can see it in the score thread here.

[Hagane]

Updated, thanks.

EDIT: Updated for iconoclast and ratikal.

[iconoclast]

Small error on Death Smiles II - you listed the Windia world record, but the highest score was done by a Lei player: 太菱 - 2,000,664,785 - ALL - Lei

And I've got the western record.
iconoclast - 1,024,552,463 - ALL - Lei

[ratikal]

Could we add Deathsmiles IIX? I know it's not an arcade release, but isn't that the same deal for Deathsmiles MBL? If you do, EOJ has the western record.

[nZero]

but isn't that the same deal for Deathsmiles MBL?

No. DSMBL was released in the arcades. The 1.1 modes are console exclusive.

[Despatche]

-NTSC-J has a better Kyuukyoku Tiger II score.
-I think you should point out how the games are being played (PCB, console collection/port, MAME, etc).
-Are there really no Toaplan records to be found anywhere?

edit: Any particular reason as to why no console games/modes in this list?

[Plasmo]

Awesome, another copy/paste job of my list. (the last link in your opening post is copy/paste, too btw)
You're missing tons of newer western scores btw. Good luck!
Also, why do you list WR scores for only the highest scoring character? Scores for lesser scoring characters are at least equally interesting imo.

For people wondering about console exclusive modes, they can be found on the original list: http://cowboy.ikaruga.co.uk/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=147

-NTSC-J has a better Kyuukyoku Tiger II score.

Nope he hasn't. Twin Cobra II and Kyuukyoku Tiger II need to be distinguished.

[ShadowWraith]

I think sikraiken's RFJ score was done with the Fairy.

I could be wrong though, there was a lot of name puns because of Cyvern going around back then.

[NTSC-J]

Nope he hasn't. Twin Cobra II and Kyuukyoku Tiger II need to be distinguished.

Yep, I do.

NTSC-J - 9,861,240 - 1P - ALL

Easy to beat, though.

[Plasmo]

Well, this was the score I was talking about and which is part of my list. I thought Hagane would at least get that copy/past job right...

[Blackbird]

Comprehensive! Interesting to see how close the records are for some games... and how far away for others >_>.

71 million on DonPachi!? That's mind boggling. Huge scoring gap there. Imagine how many scoring techniques he knows, I'd really love to see that run.

I think the Daifukkatsu and DFK Black Label world records are incorrect. I think all the ships have broken 1 tril on white label, and I'm fairly sure B-P has a better score than B-S on black label. I can't specific scores at the moment, sorry.

[ratikal]

World record for Deathsmiles IIX is around 16B using Follet. I'd give you exact numbers but they block Xbox Live here.

[Hagane]

Awesome, another copy/paste job of my list. (the last link in your opening post is copy/paste, too btw)

Well, I never implied otherwise, as I explicitly said in the opening post. Didn't know the other link was a copy paste too though, what's the original post?

Also, why do you list WR scores for only the highest scoring character? Scores for lesser scoring characters are at least equally interesting imo.

I didn't intend to go that in depth, for that there are far better lists like Gemant's awesome work. I just wanted to do a list to check how the West in general fares against the Japanese WRs. If more people want that added I could do that sometime later though.

Added DEL's and NTSC-J's scores.

Tino: done.

[tinotormed]

Don't forget the Truxton and Fire Shark scores, with ARM and Mills getting their respective insane scores.

[Icarus]

RE: Ikaruga WR - is that correct? The Appreciate DVD has T3-CYR-WIZ on 35,759,960 (Normal), and I'm quite certain he broke 36mil at some point.

[Plasmo]

He mixed it up with the hard mode WR, which is indeed 35,4mill. You're right about WIZ 36mill score.

Well, I never implied otherwise, as I explicitly said in the opening post. Didn't know the other link was a copy paste too though, what's the original post?

The original list is mine. I've kept it updated over many years and it has all the correct WR scores up to June 2011.
I was a bit upset, because I've put so much time in it and you just copied a half baked version of it. I mean, if you have my list as a source, then why are you missing so many scores?
Anyway, I've cooled down again and realized that I shouldn't care about the copying on the one hand and the bad list on the other hand.

Link to the original list:

http://cowboy.ikaruga.co.uk/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=147

Gemant's list only has scores that were published in japanese gaming magazines (he later changed that, I think) and didn't list as many games as I did (but then again, he didn't focus on shmups alone...) and thus I considered my list to be superior and more complete, while it actually isn't quite.

Again, this is a bit outdated now, last update goes back to April 2011.
