Ikaruga Chapter 5 - 108 Chain, S+ Rank

Score: 4990410
Max Chain: 108
Rank: S+
Player: JayLab (that's me)
Format: XBLA

If I'd beaten the bosses just one second faster this would've been S++... I was quite fortunate to survive at 2:00; just a few seconds earlier my homing laser had hit the wrong head and I thought I was done for. Also pretty fortunate with the death at the very end. I usually sit higher up the screen for that last section but this time I got caught near the bottom. Still my best score for this stage though.

At 2:18, go up top of screen and get behind him so you can soak up all that white stuff, then at 2:25 release a white volley and come around back down as he's firing his first volley. That would of given you S++.

For the best score, wear him down until just one more missile salvo will finish him (the line turns red&orange), then stop firing. Let his lasers and the river of bullets wash over you, then when the timer is at 1 sec left, FIRE!!

Top tips. Thank you sir.

Nicely done. It seems this was on normal? Also, what's that text when the boss shows up? It was only in Japanese in DC videos and they removed the text on the GC version..

[jaylab]

Yeah this is on normal difficulty. The XBLA version has the full translated text for each stage.

[lesjeuxaoublier]

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING????

Holy bollocksing butt munch. And there was me thinking 'You can't top that Chapter 2 and 4 performance' then... Jesus Christ, you rip my nads off with this utter perfection of Top Scrolling Shooter play... Now try your hand at Black Label... I know you can do it.

I like how you die JUST before landing the final hit, almost as if its intentional.
