WEEK 3: Racket STGT - MUSHIHIMESAMA Scores

[noiseredux]

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!

I def got the extend on 3 my best run, but no idea how I did it. Haha.

Put my PS4 aside to see if I could 1cc this by the end of the weekend.
I did, but I hope I can improve this.

So...10 mil clear bonus...or are you awarded for remaining lives?

Awesome Job, Terrence. Brilliant stuff.

Thanks.
You get 10 mil for each life you have left. I had a couple of really stupid deaths. The worse for me are those damn snakes on Stage 4.

Awesome Hash!

I adore stage 4. Possibly one of my favorite stages in any game.

Absolutely agree. Stage 4 in this game is pure bliss. Might be my favorite bgm ever.

You mean the centipedes at the end? The ones that circle around you shooting bullets from the head / body / and tail? I just smile thinking about that part - so dang fun. It's actually REALLY easy now and it's like a farm. I don't want to be giving you any tips, though, you'd probably clear with 40 mil.

No-miss stages 1, 2 and 3. Lost one life on Stage 4. So I have 5 lives (!) to clear the last level and I make a right mess of it (I actually think Stage 5 is usually pretty easy, I just had a rush of blood to the head in this run) and ended up losing all my spare lives. I still cleared it comfortably as I just bomb-spammed the boss. No 10 million bonuses at the end, though...

[mjmjr25]

Great job, Doc. Take solace in that even with a 10mil bonus, you'd still be in the same position on the table, so you'd need to clear with 2 lives to pass Hash at this point. Unreal the prospect of clearing with 2 lives. Keep going, guys. I feel really motivated to keep on improving...

@hash - there is a TLB on Ultra mode. This particular PCB was played more on maniac and ultra in the JP arcades as Original was considered "too easy" by the pros. It actually has a rather infamous bug in that if you are co-playing and player 2 is at the TLB in Ultra mode, the game does a soft-reset. CAVE charged $210 to have this bug removed at the cost of board owners. My PCB has the bug, but i'm quite sure i'll never be reaching the TLB on ultra, so not too worried about it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All that said - if anyone is interested in posting Maniac or Ultra scores, for the lulz of it, i'm game. I'm playing stages 4 / 5 better than 3 right now and am intrigued by what that may mean if I play on one of the other modes. Scores wouldn't mean anything but would be cool to see where we're all at and may lead to improved original scores too.

Man, good scores to all! Such fierce competition on this one.

I want to clear this one, and I know it's within reach. Just gotta keep stupid deaths fome happening.
