Topic: Arcade SHMUP High Score Thread

My new high score

I'm 40 and btw I'd love to see SNK's CR come out as well! The Hori stand is only €12 on Amazon, tho to use it in TATE you need to unplug the joycon on the bottom otherwise it's not very stable haha @meppi64

@DashKappei And you call yourself old! I've got a whole year on you!
I'm gonna grab it when I can find another thing to order so I can combine shipping.
Perhaps that Arrow release of Big Trouble in Little China. Really loved their release of The Blob last year.

@mauhlin12 Welcome on board chap. Great to have new members participating. That's 3 today and 2 last week.

Welcome to all the new recruits 👍

@mauhlin12 You can still submit your scores for past weekly challenge games. Just post it in here and @oorwullie will add it to the ongoing leaderboards.

@Lroy Cool thanks for the heads up. And you must be a good luck charm because I received your friend request during my first 10M+ run. @OorWullie Thanks for the welcome it's really cool you started this. Glad to see the high score chasing community is more than alive and well and it's great to be a part of it and it gives me a reason to try to get better at a genre I'm usually not good at.

@mauhlin12 Ha! Ha! Well played. Also it's not just shmups, we will consider challenges on any genre of arcade or modern arcade style game.

Here is my best effort so far.

Guys are you sure about the grazing AND collect of ghost bullets? To me it seems you just collect them but visually it looks like when you graze (sparks on the side). Also what's the difference between brake mode and trance mode?

@mauhlin12 @Rogueleader76 welcome aboard guys

Just gave a go to this game and by god I got trashed by the first and second boss. Any tips really welcome for a newbie like me. Nowhere near the high scores posted so far!!

@Fafounet stay as close as you can to the bullets, when they turn blue pick them up, keep your combo on the left side from hitting zero. That's the way I see it others maybe able to elaborate further. Concentrate and good luck 😎

@Jbs-Dad Thanks. I think I may have been grazing way too close to these bullets! Will take a break and come back to it.

@Jbs-Dad thanks!

No, not at all.
I don't even know where that came from.
From my experience it looks like the ghost bullets can't be grazed, just picked up.
But this counts towards your meters exactly the same as grazing live bullets.
So don't worry about it, just pick up as many as possible and graze lots of live bullets as well.

To all the newcomers to the challenge - welcome!

Here is a handy guide, written by a French player called PROMETHUS, called The Full Extent Of The Jam. It's a guide to playing shumps, namely DoDonPachi, but these techniques can be applied to any game.

Wow! Nice to see so many new faces around I didn't expect DU3 to grab so much attention to be honest, but as always... the more the merrier!
Tonight if time allows I'm going to devote a couple of hours to this fantastic game... can't wait!

@masterLEON Bit late with the reply, but I didn't realise that there was so much to take into consideration when it comes to capture cards.
I'll just keep wishing for Nintendo to add a longer video capture system to their firmware.

Been lurking for a little while....first time poster.

34 years old and just picked up a switch almost a month ago for my birthday. The last Nintendo system I owned was the gamecube. Imagine my excitement when I saw this thread. I remember being a kid and seeing/playing my first shoot em up at the local bowling alley arcade in the 90's. Its name was Raiden 2 and Ive been a fan ever since.

Im not sure how to join you guys or even add a friend on the switch as of yet but Im working on it. I also have an Xbox and a PS4 but I felt like it was time to give Nintendo another chance. Love the portability of it all.

So if you will have me expect some scores being posted from my end.

Thanks guys/girls
