<B>The rules:</B> Default difficulty, 1 credit only, 3 fighters per credit - Set the extend however you might prefer it. Be sure to list Gunbird used and stage reached, preferrably in the format employed by the chart above.

That's it - Have at it!

oh yeah. Mode7. I've been meaning to ask you. how many points do you usually have by the time you finish level 1-4?

Not certain. I tend to crack the extend mark right as I destroy the stage 5 boss though, if that means anything to you. My coin chain skills are above average at best and I don't hit all the crystal heads, so there's certainly room for improvement.

thanks. extend at the end of the 1-5 boss is about where I would be I think. I don't see myself ever getting farther than the middle of 1-6, so I'm trying to figure out where I can stand if I get obsessive about collecting coins and the like. You landed a 17-chain combo right? the most I've gotten is 9.

At last, at last, at long last.

Finally managed to clear 1-5. Mind you, I pretty much melted down after that, couldn't play worth a damn for the giddiness. But I did manage to earn the extend and a new high.

633,700, Marion, 1-6

Thanks to Mode7 for his stage 5 boss vids and tips, btw, for making this possible. I had not yet discovered the subtle dodges required for the first form of the st5 boss, and with those in hand, it was just a matter of a few tries.

Question for you, though, Mode7. Your video against the 1-4 boss has you sliding up between the turrets at the start of the first form. I tried that a few times, but found that no matter how far up the screen I positioned myself, sometimes one of them would take a point-blank potshot at me, and it was all over. I destroy those, instead, then focus my offense on the core. Is the max range you need to be within to stop those turrets from firing -really- tight?

It's a bit of a squeeze, yes, but nothing unmanageable. Just start at the top middle, and follow the turrets down throughout the boss entrance. Then, just do your best to stay inbetween those two yellow and black 'warning' strips and in the middle of the turrets. Once you get the hang of it, I'm sure you'll find it infitely easier than taking them head on, not to mention it lets you inflict more damage and charge your gauge faster than you might be able to otherwise.

I stand at a measly 200,000 (exactly) with the fat man.

Perhaps I should invest more time in this game...

Ok... Very little improvement:

251,200- Alucard, 1-3

Just a few more grand to go and you can knock Tabion off the charts.

Haha, Ill never be knocked off!!! Just Kidding, I know I will be eventually, unless I start playing again. Come to think of it, I havent really played anything in about a month, Gunbird 2 will change that.

Goodbye all.
