Thats a good question, does it even break after getting hit? I swear I got hit and came back to sucking in gold. Maybe if you respawn with gold on the screen and you suck them up you keep your chain?
oh and does it break on bosses for other people? I've learned to not lardshot the 1st boss for example because often enough i'll get the less than stellar medals to fall lowering my chain. Perhaps I have to know when to shoot the boss correctly?
I'm up to around 22mil I think. I read that the yellow pig gives you the best shot at a 1CC but I've been having much better luck with the pink one. Which is weird since I usually gravitate towards the weaker / faster ships in most shmups.
No problem!OK, good advice. Thanks.
Does the chain break under any conditions other than getting hit?
Likely what's happening is you're getting hit with gold on screen..... It's a lot easier to avoid dropping medals/gold in this game than in other Yagawa titles (since you can suck it in, and generally you don't go too long without some on screen so you're sucking it in frequently)Thats a good question, does it even break after getting hit?

I think you guys are just missing a medal.
is it just me or is the 3rd stage boss easier than the second stage boss in MMP?
Oh and I figured out how to use the hadou gun to get like 7 million points on a boss in PSA, pretty neat, i need to exploit that lol.
Finally got my copy of the limited edition today after a few weeks of waiting (I know, I picked the cheap shipping). Thinking about trying it out, but after seeing the sales, the limited edition looks to be rare. Am I right on this or will it be pretty common?
Who cares? Just play it.
I care.
Not that I won't play it, just asking how limited the run actually was.
Just checking if I got the basics of MMP right:
- normal shot turns enemies into pigs
- collecting pigs fills the lard meter
- lard laser turns enemies into golden pig heads
- collecting those increases the difficulty gauge
- dying lowers the gauge but does the bomb to the same?
Sometimes when you get hit some sort of small explosion appears and turns enemies in golden heads (kinda like in DDP:R) , how does this work?
Yeah, 3rd stage boss is easier to kill than the second boss.... though, the second boss can't really be milked for many points as far as I've seen, whereas the third boss can be milked but starts spamming bullets quickly.is it just me or is the 3rd stage boss easier than the second stage boss in MMP?

What you're referring to with the first stage boss is this - as you destroy parts of the boss, it replaces attacks from those parts with attacks from other parts. For those planes to start coming out of the lower center panel, I believe you have to have destroyed the panels on either side of it at least, and maybe one other set of parts.OK I'm thinking there is noticeable rank. When I score well and get to the first boss, his second pattern throws mini planes at me, but if I avoid high scores or play shittily, it doesn't happen. With the second stage mid-boss one of his first patters when I'm scoring well is to have two rows of bullets form an X which is very hard to dodge since there are two walls of non-glowing bullets to each side. If I'm not scoring well, that X pattern doesn't happen.
I tried a run avoiding points but at the same time using my lard shot to hit and ground-based enemies and charge my bomb. I got two or so extra bombs, but since I wasn't scoring well, I didn't get the 10million extend. I guess I'll try to score well and charge my bomb meter at the same time on my next try.
Whoa, very nice! You're actually making it a bit further than me. What are your scores lookin like?Gah! I just missed beating my top score by 6,000 points. Oh well - I got further than I ever have. I got to what seems like a second mid-boss in LVL4. Has anyone made it to LVL5 yet?
