Well, I've been working on this for a while, and have a slightly improved high score:
1,235,600 ALL/F5U/BioMechanic
However, I seem to have reached somewhat of a disappointing plateau, so to speak. Despite which plane I use, my clear score is always around 1.1 - 1.2 million. I'm milking bosses, hitting extra drones, and have gotten pretty good at timing the 2000 bonus.
At the clear game screens, however, I rarely get many medals - all stars. Does the stage clear time net you extra points? And I must be missing some gold bars somewhere - like on Cross Sinker's stage, are there other specific methods anyone knows of that net you extra bars?
Perhaps we could start a Normal Mode score table...? Might attract some more people...
Oh, and what's this Tech Bonus that Strikers 1999 has?
