19XX: The War Against Destiny - High Scores

[mjmjr25]

Was able to put another 30 mins into the game this evening. One thing I noticed from the video is the firing speed - I can't imagine that is by hand?

For the guys on MAME, are you using just the 2 buttons - shoot / bomb w/o turbo activated on the main shoot button (ie, you have to keep tapping the shoot button repeatedly)? It seems like in some vids these guys have their lock-on shot on at all times which would only be possible by having the main shot button set to turbo.

Anyways - a modest improvement:

1,338,000 - mjmjr25 - Lightning - Stage 5 - Level 14 - Arcade

I too commented on the guy's use of what obviously seems to be some sort of rapid fire on those videos. While his ship placement is sound, the firing patterns aren't. I am not using any sort of turbo or rapid enhancements, just tap-tap-tap and years of experience

Awesome score BTW, when I got 1 mil I was pleased. Stage 5 too!

Do you guys know about the hidden extend item?

I'm not using auto fire either. Can't blame him for using it if he wants to max out the score, but Id be happy clearing it with a half-decent score.

Awesome run Mike! I'm gonna play this some tonight too.

Don't think so?

Please tell us! I've only found 1 hidden medal spot in stage 2.

On stage 5, when you are going over the castle wall, there is an extend at the top left on the wall.

Ill have to get on the laptop to write medal locations, on my phone and about to chow down on a chorizo burrito atm

Posting a score from my buddy, Jason. This pic is from his cab:

1,083,400 - Tyranix95 - Stage 4 - Level 14 - Shinden - Arcade

Dunpeal2064 - 4,729,900 - Stage 6 - Lightning - Lvl 22 - Arcade



Had time for a run, but I plan to do a few more today, as that one was terrible.

I lost 3 lives on stage 4, which I usually don't die on, but then managed to completely destroy Sancho Pedro with just two bombs. Was just trying to live instead of score a lot.

Got an S rank on bosses 3 and 5 only.

Good grief! That's legit dude.

fvgazi - 862,000 - Stage 3 - Mosquito - Level 10 - MAME


Do you need to get 100% in order to get an S rating? I can't seem to get past an A rating no matter what. I've only had 99% completions so far.

Also... for some reason in MAME I'm not getting the full stat sheet when my score is shown. Maybe I accidentally pressed something that filters the sprites?
