WEEK 3: Racket STGT - MUSHIHIMESAMA Scores

[pierrot]

Played a bit last night, and after I stopped trying to milk the stage 1 boss, and the dandelion things in stage 2, I was able to make it absolutely nowhere into stage 3 a couple times. Did some practicing on the stage 2 boss, and start of stage 3 in practice mode after a run where I no missed to stage 2 boss, and lost all three lives on it.

A little birdie told me to use nothing but bombs on the stage 5 mid boss if I ever see it.

I'm a lot of things to a lot of people. But for once, I'm not dead last.

The pains I went through to get this, only to come up short of a top score. Even despite getting the 1up in stage 3. Part of me never wants to see this game again.

I don't know if I can do better tonight. I put in a good dozen runs. Lots of improvement. This run sucked and I almost reset, having missed the St1 No-Miss. But then I No-Missed St2!! Ugh! So I kept going and played the best St3 I've played thus far.

I tell you friends, when I say "I love Shmups," I'm specifically talking about a game exactly like this. This is the sort of game I adore.

problem with mame is that its too easy to get distracted by other games when there are 6000 roms loaded on it >.> at least I made it to stage 3 a couple times.

kind of sad seeing people quadrupling my score, I bring great shame upon my family

There are a ton of points on stage 5 if you can keep surviving.

I've resorted to bombing the stage 2 boss's middle form. I dodge it fine 75% of the time, but that 25% of the time isn't worth the 400,000 pts it costs if you die there. One bomb or 400K, just having to swallow my prided and do it. (200,000 no miss bonus, and about 200 on your gold multiplier which is reset when you die of course).

Had a run of 7.4mil this evening, but didn't snap a pic...thought my other score was 7.5 :/ Oh well, i'm gonna give it some more run on Wed. night.

I adore stage 4. Possibly one of my favorite stages in any game. You can really be rewarded for playing well. Those centipedes at the end, the ability to cancel the entire thing out - for huge points...and if you don't, being in the middle of 2 of them...wow. So so good. Stage 5 - is just glorious. Becoming more manageable and actually no missed / no bombed the mid-boss this last time. So many bullets...and so fast...great game.

I've only seen stage 3 so far, but it's amazing.

Well, keep plugging away - but do yourself a favor and be sure to see 4 and 5 no matter what. You are close to the extend though...really close.

Also - just gleaning this from Pierrot's post...totally forgot about the usual hidden extend on stage 3 of CAVE games. That might be what i'm missing from progressing further...time to hit up my teammate for the scoop!
