Ikaruga

Haha, I thought I was finished with Ikaruga, and tonight I play through the game for "fun" and smash my old score by over 2 million, for a new high of 25.6 million! I made it all the way to the diamond at the end WITHOUT dying (unbelievable), then lost 2 lives there, the last one I lost with 1 second left on the time counter!! Agh. Within a second of 26 million. :(

I managed to finish the game with 5 spare lives, the first time I've ever done that.

Here were my chains/level scores for this run (my best in-game L3 run EVER!! I broke 4 million!!)

L1: 3,653,600 (115 chain)
L2: 4,959,570 (162 chain)
L3: 4,008,370 (120 chain)
L4: 5,470,410 (101 chain)
L5: 5,014,370 (109 chain)

Total: 25,675,020 MAX CHAIN-162 / Chapter A


I don't know how the heck I broke 5 million on Chapter 5 with a 109 chain, that's the first time I've ever done that (I usually need a 110 chain to get over 5 mil)! I beat the bosses with 55/55/54 seconds remaining, maybe that's why. Woo-hoo, it's a good feeling. Taking a break from the game for a week and a half was good for me after all! :lol:

Kiken, I have over a one million point lead on you now, and I'm the top USA player on the netranking now (in both Arcade and Proto!). :) I wonder how long that will last?:sweat:

New personal hi-score for me:
3,184,970 - Max Chain: 69 - Chapter 3

honest to god, i've been to hell and back to get this score....

Damn...a few days ago, it sounded like you were about to give up the ghost.

Since then, you've shattered your PB and THEN shattered the NEW PB...congrats

Hey DaveSS, excellent score (as always!). But be sure to include your max chain reached, for this ranking board. I think it was your L4 chain of 181 or thereabouts?

yeh i keep trying to give up, its very much a love/hate relationship with this game :)

thanks for pointing that out blueskied, my top chain was 187 and rank A of course.

Update. Sorry JM, I'll try to be better about the updates. If anyone wonders why I tend to fall behind updating this one, quote the post with the chart in it.

One last thing- For anyone submitting scores, from now on please submit it in this format only:

Johnny_Ikaruga - 28,012,160 - chapter A - 188

Even though it may seem redundant to post your name when it's right next to your post, this way I can just copy and paste. It helps quite a bit. Thanks.

Hi all, i'm new to this forum and just started playing Ikaruga on the DC a day ago. I'm sure everyone is aware of the fact that this game rocks but hell i will say it anyway, THIS GAME ROCKS!!!

I've been looking at the scores posted here and mine doesn't compare very well yet but here it is:

Aisha - 2,966,400 - Chapter 3 - 44

Chapter 3 is a NASTY!!!

Good Luck all, hopefully i will get the extend soon!
