Oooh, that mode is just such a blast, isnt it?

Though I could do without the bloody route thing, but other than that....

I'll see if I cant put up a score here later today.

[Sel Feena]

Yeah, it is good fun, finding there's a rhythm to the bosses especially; quite easy to milk the crap out of them! Only realised recently you can take out those spinny lasers on Stage 5 too which makes things a bit more manageable. Only a bit, though!

Back to Sexy Parodius for a bit now.

Funny how it's set up as DOJ mode but it plays nothing like it. It's all about grabbing those bees. It's good to have it next to 1.5, anyway. I'll put up a score next time I have a crack at it. I've no idea what my current high is because scores from this game have so many digits.

[Misery]

My current best score iiiiiiiiisssssssss....




I'll put up a better one later.

Probably spend some decent time with this tonight. Kinda need a break from Futari anyway, been doing that WAY too much lately.

[Sel Feena]

Well, I guess that's something for me to aim for!

Jiggled my posts about so scores are on 1st post. You didn't say it was Arrange A so I'm assuming Arcade/360? Tell me if it's not, fella.



About the best I can manage on Arrange A, using secret route. Sorry 'bout the photo, taken on iPhone and couldn't see a way to rotate it.

[weakboson]

My scores:

Arrange A - 2282,9757,7615
1.5 - 83,5941,9972 - B-Power

Couldn't be bothered to take pictures but they're on the leaderboards. I'll revisit these at some point, hopefully Misery will have beaten them by then.

[Misery]

Ah yes, sorry, didnt mention the mode, haha.

Mine is for Arrange A. It's an older score, I didnt do that JUST NOW or something, lol, but it's my current best.

Ahhh, I'd been playing Black Label for so long, it'll be interesting to really jump back into this mode.

I'll list an arcade mode score when I have one that doesnt suck. I've played that mode like.... four times. It's a bit too easy on survival difficulty, that and Arrange A and B are just such a blast that they sorta kept me from doing that one too much.

But I'll get to arcade mode later. Right now, arrange modes!

Updated. Obviously, I'm not using the Hypers at the right time here! Still happy, as I'm getting slowly better. Any big tips?

EDIT: NM. Goddamn sausage fingers.

[weakboson]

It's all about the bees. You get a lot of points for collecting a gold bee while you have a high hit counter. You get more points if you collect it while it's white, and also for each successive bee you pick up. So to get the most points collect every bee while it's flashing with as big a combo as you can get. You won't score much just by having a large hit counter. The good news is that you can see bees before you uncover them in this mode and IIRC they instantly flash white when you uncover them, so you can collect them straight away. But there are more bees in the secret route so once again the normal route has much less scoring potential.

I'm sure I have tips, if I can remember what exactly they are.

....I havent been awake very long and no caffiene yet.

EDIT: Ninja'd!

There, he posted some tips, that works, because the tips I was gonna post were making ME confused.

[Sel Feena]

I've been seeing the bees as just a means of making sure I can spam Hypers (usually saved up to make bosses go mental). Will try to pick them up as they flash next time I have a go, then.

[retrojc]

Cum'on guys, gimme some tips, im sucking!

[weakboson]

Which mode you playing, retrojc?

A few of things I forgot to mention about arrange A: while in hyper mode and boost mode enemies will fire more bullets at you. A good way to rack up the hits is to not fire while in boost mode, then switch to normal mode and shoot the huge number of bullets for as long as you can. Also the more hyper items you collect before you enter hyper mode the longer it will last and, crucially, the faster you will gain hits from shooting bullets or using your laser. Lastly using the laser in boost mode uses up the hyper quicker than other attacks, so be careful how you use it.

I fancy playing this mode later tonight.

[retrojc]

I'm now actually going to play some myself, have really only played arrange B, and 360 mode.

Really need to figure out how this chaining works, and something about bombs/hypers/invincibility?!
