“Do u just enter the matrix or sumthing to play raiden like that? Seriously what is the secret?”

88m on RFJ arcade today. ugh. here’s what’s killing me:
stage 30. tap dodging. does. not. work. with. this. shitty. controller. so instead i need to get into the habit of conserving bombs for the boss patterns i need to touhou through but can’t because the 360 pad likes diagonals.
real battle 1. with the additional health of the striker planes, i’m going to have to actually memorize the second half of the stage as opposed to letting sweep do everything for me. time to run through some additional trials on this stage in arcade mode! yay! (oh god)
not going to think about real battle 2 for now. UGH.
got a cool flat 130m out of the deal. there were a few scoring mistakes (lol lost fairy) and i just went and fucked the medal chain at the very end of the game, but i squeezed through to the large hovertank boss with 2 lives in reserve, and only died at the penultimate pattern of that boss. then bombfested the TLB because fuck if I was going to lose 10 million points.
you can watch the replay if you have the US version of aces and have an active xbox live account. no way for me to record an offsite video without yanking now-unreachable cords, sadly.
next, arcade mode.
(help me)
i joined the score attack stage 30 club, scoring 92 million points (suicide in first stage turned out to be largely pointless, but whatever)
all thanks to ycw without whom this may have not been possible. here’s his video:
wasn’t going to be fucked with getting graze points in rf1 so i decided to do a grazeless boss run with judge spear instead. got 8 million, not bad. could probably get more if i figure out how to get the super medals. probably need to do the 2-1-3-4-5 route.
update: can anyone tell me how to graze bullets in x stages of psyvariar revision i can’t do it without bombs and timing destruction is hard
i have a migraine but i’m taking pills. owned.
i played some pangya. sucked at it so hard. needs more caffeine.
didn’t get much improvement in rfj boss rush as i wanted yesterday (only 2.75m) but i’m still several million ahead of 2nd place. hint: moo
i’m not sure if many people are going to touch my rfj expert score, then again the player tier is:
1. shmups forums members
2. people who have no idea how to enable medals but get nice end of stage bonuses
3. everyone else scoring in the 7 digits
so i don’t really have to worry. until alluro joins in (won’t be for a few months) or ycw gets a US 360 and becomes #1 on US leaderboards forever. till then, i am enjoying stumping various people on xbox live
also, dicks
