Megan, could you provide a short video to show what you mean with your windmill throwing star technique?

If you didn't use this technique, how the hell did you manage that big ass score that you got?



Plain blade racking.
I had nice racking spots, a good racking gymnastic, and I managed to do everything in the stages super fast. I wonder what I would have done with the red star technique in a few stages.

You hit the nail right on the head, Megan! The windmill throwing star is exactly how I got my score. I actually learned the technique in a video that Roth made.


Once I thought about it, actually seeing your score, I think it took me just a few minutes of pondering to realize it, I was like, awe shit, I bet I know exactly what he did to get that score. So I loaded the game up on emulator (mom was still watching tv at the time) and tried it out, wasn't too successful, but it did allow me to find the spots that I could try it and once I was able to use the tv to play it on my NES later that night was able to perform it in quite a few locations. Works beautifully in racking up points very fast. Why I didn't think to do this, again, still even with me playing for score, I was still thinking with that must beat the game without dying frame of mind, so I didn't do any exploring to see how else I could improve my score outside of just using my sword to repeatedly slashing a respawning foe over and over again. Plus, I only had a limited time at the tv and laptop so I had to get in as many games as I could in short time, no time to test different things out, just had to be at my best, even though I wasn't feeling my best.  But why I didn't think to use the windmill shuriken to gain score is beside me, I use the boomeranging to clear out enemies all the time during normal gameplay.

I thought MrMiniMog and Dr. Robbie, at least, were going to post some big guns score.


Ninja Gaiden is my mortal enemy.

One of my favorite games, but I can't get squat accomplished in it. I couldn't beat stage 2-1 without dying at least once.

Great scores all around though.

Yeah, I didnt get a pic of the 390k,  because I was only at the start of 5-2, and was still learning all the best spots for bulking up score, so that was low for that spot anyway. With the rest of the levels after 5-2 to go though + bulking up a little more in earlier levels, I may have been able to pass 600k easy.

I tried for a little last night, but I guess I was spent on this game. I wasn't doing half as good as the previous nights (I started getting hit...a lot), and just gave up after getting really frustrated after a few runs + referrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f" />I need a new controller. The B button and D-pad are getting really worn.

I do have some good notes from this though, and I would like to try and get a much higher score, but I need to rest a bit. My thumbs hurt.
