The default difficulty is 2 on japanese versions and 4 on US/EURO ones, but they play in the same way: so, no necessity to change things.

Apparently, not.

Okay, got 11*10^12 (those red numbers) in Giga Wing. I tried to do some reflector milking in the early stages and switched to survival around stage 4 when things started to feel a bit too rough for screwing around. Final death was extremely stupid. I died at the final bosses engine blast because I thought it wouldn't reach me that far.

Deathsmiles for SotW

Quote from: gamefaq

Sorry EU gamers, US version is not currently region-free

The DeathSmiles board will be separate from the SotW board, fyi. :V

Okay, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be. And to think I said I'd probably have a level 3(No Ex) 1cc within a few days elsewhere. Maybe Level 2 with some level 3s, but not level 3 all the way.

KOA · « **Reply #126 on:** June 30, 2010, 03:20:01 AM »

Yeah, even my best 1CC had rank control (read, kept lv.3 usage to a minimum).

Matsuri · « **Reply #127 on:** June 30, 2010, 04:03:20 AM »

Huh, I was kind of thinking the same thing. I guess I'll have to keep that in mind once I start playing. :ohdear:

Dimahoo got 3 votes because you were probated when voting took place.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #130 on:** June 30, 2010, 09:43:35 AM »

there are 2 kinds of people in this world

Those who love dimahoo and those who pretend that they don't like it

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #131 on:** June 30, 2010, 12:15:31 PM »

Just got to Jitterbug in MBL 1.1

I only had half a life left though, so I quickly died.

Edit: And apparantly Score Attack lets you continue because some people on the leaderboards used them. Lame.

shadowbringer · « **Reply #132 on:** June 30, 2010, 01:22:53 PM »

voted for Dimahoo because Banana liked this game enough even though he seemingly isn't going to score well :p

I'm fine with either Varth/Batrider/Dimahoo * next week :p (will focus on Giga Wing, though. It's our only chance and time to play this game.)

Also, congratulations for everyone's efforts in TSS!

*edit: and Strikers 1945 II/Guwange too

Matsuri · « **Reply #133 on:** June 30, 2010, 02:02:07 PM »

Enigma: Is the translation really as hilariously bad as we heard it was gonna be? Also, are the voiceovers in English or Japanese?

EDIT: Fuck yes shipping notice from Amazon

It's coming home. :3

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #134 on:** June 30, 2010, 04:16:03 PM »

Translation only really seems bad at the Sakura fight. Not really as bad anywhere else.

Just game overed on Jitterbug in MBL 1.1 again. Reached him with only 1 life due to screw ups and no powerup to use. Got over 13 billion though.

Edit: okay some of the endings are pretty bad about it too.

lumber_of_the_beast · « **Reply #135 on:** June 30, 2010, 11:02:04 PM »

My broken 360 returned from repairs today, worked out of the box.

My copy of Deathsmiles is arriving tomorrow.

:getdown:

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #136 on:** June 30, 2010, 11:11:04 PM »

I really need to figure out how scoring works in normal Deathsmiles and MBL. I have an idea how it works in the 1.1 versions, but I don't know if I'm missing anything in that as well.

Did another MBL 1.1 attempt earlier doing level 3 for all levels. Wroon is a pain in the ass on level 2 and 3, but 1 bomb gets rid of it. Derped the Volcano stage so much I knew I was screwed. So I just went to the Ice Palace Extra stage instead of the final. Lost my last life right before Ozier was about to be defeated. I could have possibly lasted a lot longer on the final stage maybe and gotten a lot more points if I had managed to defeat him since I wasn't going to try the other Extra stage with only 1 life in stock. Got a little over 25,000,000,000 IIRC. I'd have to check the score on that.

Wish I could do level 999s on it, but I suck way too much at that difficulty level. Pretty much instant game over if I choose it. Also, how do you pick what level the extras and final stage are at?

Sapz · « **Reply #137 on:** July 02, 2010, 02:59:21 AM »

So I played Ketsui X mode today for the first time in a while. A few minor screwups aside, I cleared most of the stages easily, setting myself up to break my high score by a good 50m or so. Everything was going smoothly, and I perfected the final boss.

Suddenly, DOOM appears and wrecks my shit. :getdown:

Even though it's easier than the regular DOOM, I still lost both of my remaining lives to the first phase... it's so much harder under pressure, like everything in this crazy game. Still, it was very cool seeing it on an actual run. Finished with 298m.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #138 on:** July 02, 2010, 02:50:40 PM »

Deathsmiles Mega Black Label 1cc.

I went level 2, level 2, level 3, level 3, level 3, level 3, final

Didn't even get the second extend. Died twice in the run though. Once due to collision damage and the other due to no bombing Jitterbug.

Matsuri · « **Reply #139 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:23:58 PM »

Have you tried level 999 yet?

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #140 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:26:53 PM »

I pick level 999, I lose a credit on whatever stage it was

lumber_of_the_beast · « **Reply #141 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:31:38 PM »

Broke 10m for the first time in Deathsmiles, managed a 1CC up to the 3-2 boss. I might actually be able to 1CC the entire game this month! :V

Jaimers · « **Reply #142 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:56:38 PM »

Replay

I don't really feel like I deserved this for how awful my play was.

Plus version is so much easier geez.

lumber_of_the_beast · « **Reply #143 on:** July 02, 2010, 05:49:25 PM »

When you exit power-up mode, is your +value reset or does it stay where it was before?

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #144 on:** July 02, 2010, 07:22:56 PM »

Tried Normal Arcade with Windia. Game overed before Jitterbug was defeated. Probably have 1cc'd if it weren't for that slowdown death on the Volcano stage where I died when it sped up. Barely got the 45,000,000 life.

Sapz · « **Reply #145 on:** July 02, 2010, 08:28:20 PM »

More Ketsui X mode. I completely thrashed my old score again, no-missing up to the final clonespam and finishing with 391m. I might have no missed the whole stage if not for a surprise; early in Stage 5 I triggered the uncancellable Ura suicide bullets rather than the regular X mode cancelable ones... still cancellable with bullet cancel enemies, but you can't destroy them with lock shot anymore. Finished with a load of lives, but didn't see DOOM. :< I guess it must be another deaths+bombs requirement, though it seems like it's more than 6... I suppose I'll need to experiment.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #146 on:** July 03, 2010, 01:59:51 PM »

Yet another Windia run that should have 1cc'd. But nope, I stupidly die on the Volcano stage, then I had to go die twice on the Volcano boss from collision damage without bombing it. Then I derp ob the final stage hitting the only bullet that was even near me at the time. Then I obviously failed to NDNB Jitterbug.

Edit: Seems I was powering up at the wrong time on the Volcano stage. Assuming I enter the stage with the power up meter charged, I was able to get 27-32 million off that stage by changing where I powered up. Of course, now if I die before finishing that power up, it's pretty much a restart. And considering I take the volcano as my 6th stage.

Edit again: Windia 1cc. Didn't enter the Volcano stage at 1,000 toward the powerup, and I almost died before I could activate it. And I messed up the scoring on that stage. Managed to reach Jitterbug with 3 lives to use on him. He killed me twice and I collided with him on the last one instead of hitting a bullet. Bombspammed the crap out of Tyrannosatan.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #147 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:39:39 AM »

almost reached the st5 boss in dimahoo
yeah, solo bang seems better after all

EDIT: ugh st5 is cursed or something
always almost got to the boss but never reached him

also, never reached the second extend...Ra.De all over? :V

Matsuri · « **Reply #148 on:** July 05, 2010, 03:26:50 PM »

oh yeah, start voting for stuff btw

also, how should I set up the DS scoreboard?

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #149 on:** July 05, 2010, 03:45:42 PM »

One for each mode. Arcade/360 count as 1 mode, so it's not 4 boards just for Normal and MBL.Throw in the 1.1s too. If not the normal 1.1, then the MBL version of 1.1.
