Ikaruga

limiting ourselves to competing for 6th place wouldn't feel right...

i think i might be able to score much higher if i really applied myself and started to try to memorize movements in sections of the 4th stage..
the game just requires a certain amount of dedication.. i might have another go at it in a few days..

good luck w/ RS, valgar.

I feel that my limmit has been reached, I cant keep my cool any longer. Constantly I die in the most simple places or fuck up my chain.

Since I can't stand being at the very ass-end of this top 40 ranking, I submit, for your approval, my latest high score accomplishment.

Baron/2,265,990/Chapter 3/Max Chain 40

Dug Ikaruga out for the first time since release week and decided to give it another go. I'm really getting the feel for stringing together the chains now.

9,252,470 / chapter 4 / i think 116 chain

**cigsthecat** · 25 Dec 2002, 01:55 AM

Don't worry, I still update, it's just a big ordeal every time I do. I'll make sure and do one a little later tonight.

**sleeve** · 25 Dec 2002, 08:25 PM

Dammit, I'm nearing the edge of the top 10! I need to get back on the horse quick!

**cigsthecat** · 26 Dec 2002, 04:16 AM

Updated.

My Final Ikaruga Score...

21,564,830 / Chapter A / Max Chain 167

I think I might start playing again in a month or so...maybe.

**Hero** · 04 Jan 2003, 04:29 AM

Oh my gosh. I just bought this, and now that I finally figured out how to do chains, I'm amazed by this game. You can either play to go through or play for chains. Too bad I haven't broken 2 million...then again, I haven't even finished the third stage. Are there any strats cuddled in here?

J2dfanboy 20,477,920/ Max Chain 152/ Chapter A

At long last, 85 hours did it take me. Just want to say thank you to Cigs for the awesome scoreboard and thanks to Kiken(lets se your latest highscore!) for those helpful videos, I would probably never have spent so much time, got so good or enjoyed the game as much as I have without them

**Hero** · 08 Jan 2003, 03:56 AM

I've put 3 hours game time in this, and this is what I've come up with so far:

Hero 2,384,850/ Max Chain 37/ Chapter 3

Thanks, updated it

I just aquired a movie of someone doing Normal, Chapter 1-5, S++ on each level.

If you want to see it, find me on AIM sometime or get on mIRC and come to..

#EFNet, #gamecombos (my name is Valgar, and I'm an op)

I have it on my fserv which is up 24/7 (most of the time)

Please update the list Cigs, its been a while.

**cigsthecat** · 18 Feb 2003, 01:16 AM

Updated. Sorry for the delay- It just got to be a big ordeal doing it so often so I sort of took a sabbatical. The chart will be updated on a regular basis from now on. Thanks for your patience.

**Ryan** · 23 Feb 2003, 12:00 PM

Chart looks nice cigs,

No but I need to get it, I'm a little turned off by ebay and Pacrappa has one for sale so I might jump on that as soon as I get some money.
Why do you ask, got an extra copy laying around?

**Mman** · 27 Feb 2003, 01:27 PM

hmmm...I think I might beat you to pacrappas...

**J2d** · 27 Feb 2003, 04:09 PM

Thats okay, its sealed and I'm not a collector or picky about the condition.

**Dave SS** · 23 Mar 2003, 05:12 PM

i've managed S++ gradings on all levels apart from the dreaded level 3, but i'll get there soon i suspect

**J2d** · 23 Mar 2003, 09:33 PM

Ah crap, down to number four, I haven't stopped playing it's just that it's so frustrating sometimes.
I mean you lose about 700k everytime you die, and nowadays I die a lot. Things will heat up again when it's released in north america, but then we will all move on to DDP Dai-ou-jou

**cigsthecat** · 23 Mar 2003, 09:44 PM

No, of course not. I've stopped playing myself as I didn't find it as fun in the long term as other shooters I have. There are plenty of others here still playing though.

I will need your stage reached and max chain to put your score up though.
