PULSTAR pour les nuls

[Gemant ZBL-Fukuda]

Well. It's time to explain the secret about Pulstar. ALL neo geo games are very hard if played for score with WR target. Pulstar is more difficult of the average neo geo games about this.

1. in this game there are advanced technique and multiple ways for short leeching. 3.000 points in + obtained in a location... 4.000 points in + in other location etc. are very important, because you have need of all points possible BEFORE of the last battle with final Boss. Before the last Boss, in my best score, I had 1.100.000 pts, but I suppose that the top japanese player has maybe 1.500.000 or more. With 1.100.000 I see the Boss with 7 lives in stock.

2. you must have "NO MISS" (no lives lost for all stages 1~8) until the last Boss.

3. the secret is in last Boss area. Last Boss have 3 shapes. You must destroy the first and the second shape without problems. Third shape have 3 steps (pattern 1, pattern 2, and suicide attack. Suicide attack have the same effect of the Pyramids in View Point, Boss tail you to kill and is impossible escape.

During pattern 1, if you destroy last Boss and you at the same time you win 50.000 pts. and you can repeat again the battle with last boss. This is DOUBLE K.O. system. But exist also SUPER DOUBLE K.O.

During pattern 2 (this pattern is very difficult and is necessary skill and is very long, some minuts) destroy last Boss and you at the same time and score increase of 150.000 pts. You must use always SUPER DOUBLE K.O. system.

SUPER DOUBLE K.O. work at the end of pattern 2 only, some seconds before of suicide attack from Boss.

You must survive for all time!!

You win a life 200.000 pts every. With double K.O. you win 150.000 pts only, but when you destroy the first 2 shape of the last boss, your score increase a little, so, for each live sacrifice you have more of 150.000.

Because you have already many lives in stock, and you can win other lives with double K.O., you can continue to sacrifice many times, but not forever, because after many try, the lives finished.

Top score was performed with SUPER DOUBLE K.O. x 34 times = 5.100.000 pts with this pattern.

5.100.000 + 1.500.000 (scorer before the last boss) = 6.600.000 pts.

The real problem is made SUPER DOUBLE K.O. because Boss not have a energy bar on the screen, you must count a perfect number of hits / damage, and when you are sure 100% that Boss is near to dead, you must use suicide / double K.O.

ALL this, is super ultra difficult.

In my top score I made 1 normal double K.O. and 1 SUPER DOUBLE K.O. 150.000 pts. Maybe in future I can made 2.000.000 pts but is my max limit.

THAT'S ALL.

From 2002 I play neo geo games in emulator and not in neo geo AES because for me is necessary have a complete recording (mame replay) of all my performance.

I use MVS version for all my scores. "credit 00" appear in MVS version.

[Twilight_Guardian]

However these are my points stage for stage:

after stage 1: 131.090
after stage 2: 260.960
after stage 3: 392.700
after stage 4: 537.080
after stage 5: 729.450
after stage 6: 845.150
after stage 7: 969.260
stage 8 before the Boss: 1.098.740
final score: 1.308.770 ALL.

What is the "credit 00" in lower right ?
I never see it.emulation ?
If you have some scores done on MVS or AES systems at MVS difficulty level then you can post them in the Hi-Scores section

You also manage to get lots of point in stage 5.
In that stage ennemis in the labyrinth are important for the score.

I think that the top player japanese have about 1.500.000 before the last Boss. But is my supposition. Probably is possible destroy almost ALL in stage 5 with perfect pattern.

[Gemant ZBL-Fukuda]

Yes. Sacrifice is the key.

However in my score I used 2 lives only. For a mistake I lost 100.000 pts.

[Twilight_Guardian]

You manage to get points for each life right ?
Same way as Last Resort ?

You also manage to get lots of point in stage 5.
In that stage ennemis in the labyrinth are important for the score.

I'm close with my "potential" 951040 at end of stage 7
Some leeching at boss 6 and boss 7 would do the trick.

If View Point strategy seems to be difficult, Pulstar will seem impossible.

6.700.000 = 6 hours of play.

Le fuck.

[Gemant ZBL-Fukuda]

1 loop only.

[Twilight_Guardian]

leeching in Boss 6 is possible but not for too time, because after some minuts, laser (time over character) is super fast, and is impossible escape.

ok!

6 hours is just insane
More than 1 loop ?

No thanx , but thanx for the tricks

By leeching the Sixth boss ?

Je viens de tester mon idée sur le leeching du boss 6.

Ca marche bien mais c'est super long.

Techniquement suffit de se mettre en haut à gauche à l'abris et de ne pas tirer sur le centre névralgique du boss mais de leecher les petites bestioles.

A un moment la tête du boss envoie un laser vert qui vient se positionner auprès de vous avant d'essayer de vous atteindre. C'est assez simple à l'éviter.

J'ai fait le con mais en 5 minutes j'ai du gagner 10.000 points.
Avec du self control ça doit pouvoir rapporter gros cette histoire.
Y a surement une méthode pour éviter le laser tout en restant à l'abris.

Enfin bon c'est pas ça qui ramène 5.000.000 de points, ou alors tu laisses tourner le jeu des jours entiers.
