SOTM August 2023: DDP SDOJ

[kuze]

Any format (PCB, 360, MAME [Dino hack ok too], EXA) but play in Arcade mode. If there’s interest in other modes I can make separate tables. Autobomb on or off okay, noting optional.

"Finally, it is time for you to die. Farewell."

I just picked up SDOJ last month but I'm going to be out of town for at least a month, darn!

 

[ShootTheCore]

Well, it’s not a great score but someone has to kick things off.

ShootTheCore - 171,473,260 - Area 2 Boss - Type C - MAME

 

[Heinz]

Lach - 171,170,975 - Area 2 somewhere - Type B - MAME

 

[Beelzebub]

Beelzebub - 300,837,144 - Stage 3 - Type C - MAME

 

[ShootTheCore]

Here’s a more respectable score.

ShootTheCore - 336,626,995 - Stage 3- Type C - MAME

 

[kuze]

kuze - 199,937,974 - Area 3 - Type A - X360

 

[daskrabs]

In the 360 version, I can't seem to select any characters other than "D," meaning A, B, and C aren't selectable. Am I missing something? Also, the bullet patterns seem pretty different from the MAME version, in level 1 at least.

Edit: never mind, that's just the 360 version of the game.

 

[daskrabs]

daskrabs - 245,726,102 - Area 3 - Type A - X360

 

[Beelzebub]

Spoiler:

Beelzebub - 512,455,255 - Stage 3 - Type C - MAME

EDIT: New score.

Beelzebub - 613,029,032 - Stage 3 - Type C - MAME

 

[ShootTheCore]

Damn! That's quite a bump in score!

 

[opt2not]

Goddamn these girls don’t shut up.

opt2not - 2,042,987,485 - Area 5 - Type D - X360

 

[kuze]

kuze - 333,400,512 - Area 3 - Type C - X360

 

[kuze]

@opt2not Sick run!!

Btw you can disable the voices on the X360 version

 

[opt2not]

Oh thank you @kuze ! This makes the game so much enjoyable.

 

[kuze]

Oh thank you @kuze ! This makes the game so much enjoyable.

No problem, I totally agree!

 

[kuze]

kuze - 348,187,076 - Area 3 - Type C - X360

Just barely overtook @ShootTheCore , still nowhere near @opt2not or @Beelzebub though!

 

[daskrabs]

daskrabs - 353,074,827 - Area 3 - Type A - X360

 

[kuze]

Nice one, @daskrabs!

Yo @opt2not I just noticed you are playing Xbox 360 mode? It should be "Arcade HD" mode, IIRC there are a bunch of changes with 360 mode.

 

[opt2not]

Ah crap I done fucked up.

Maybe that’s why my score is so much higher.
I’ll run it in arcade mode and post an updated score.

Just take me off the scoreboard for now.

 

[Neodogg]

I have no idea what I’m doing on these type of games beside survive…


Dogg - 186,349,353 - Area 2 - Type C - X360

 

[NERDtendo]

Oh man! This summer has been crazy busy. I finally got back into the arcade to get things cleaned up and ready to reopen next month. I was really excited to see this as the SOTM title. I should be able to get a few days in before the end of the month.

First credit score…

NERDtendo - 65,303,205 - Stage 2 - Type C - X360

 

[mmsadda]

MmSadda - 381,401,728 - Area 3 - Type C - Exa

I think being able to use type D in Arcade mode is unique to Exa Arcadia - is that all right? (asking because prior to my recent type C score, I had a previous high score with type D in Arcade mode)

 

[NERDtendo]

Small improvement…

NERDtendo - 79,457,021 - Stage 2 - Type C - X360

 

[ShootTheCore]

MmSadda - 381,401,728 - Area 3 - Type C - Exa

I think being able to use type D in Arcade mode is unique to Exa Arcadia - is that all right? (asking because prior to my recent type C score, I had a previous high score with type D in Arcade mode)

Type D is in the Exa and 360 versions but not the original Arcade version.
