Cool, I'll be sure to drop in when I get around to playing the main game mode properly. Any chance in adding in boards for the score attack stages? They're the most fun for me right now.BPzeBanshee wrote:Well, no ST thread yet, but P_HAT got back to me and gave me permission to take over the High Score thread. http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46230
Still working on some formatting issues and merging the old scores as of time of writing but feel free to submit in the correct format. Kiken has a mere 1mil score for the PS2 port on there would you believe.
After your tip on triggering the extended route in stage 5 I've no managed to take top spot on that board and after a few hours of grinding I eventually managed to get top place for stage 4. Man that stage's annoying as the 1st three quarters is super easy (and long) with very few worthwhile scoring tricks (that I know of anyway) and then it's the plane rush section which I don't fully understand yet in terms of forcing a great score. I'm sure on my top run I got a couple more planes than usual spawning in but I'll need to double check this tonight.
I'm now top place on every board except stages 3 and 6 that I've yet to play. I'm gonna make a start on stage 6 tonight if only to learn the basic layout of the stage. I know stage 3 will be a pain as so much depends on a long winded boss milking session so I'm leaving that 'til last.
All of my best runs except stage 1 have replays available now so feel free to watch, copy and improve upon them as currently only ALOEsan has any good comparable scores up across all boards. I don't think there's much that can be done to improve my stage 1 and 2 scores (without using mega-autofire hacks on stage 2) but all of my other bests have room for improvement with default settings being used.
