Quoted from pluto:Two questions for the group here:
1) Anyone have issues with their VUK taking multiple attempts to kick the balls to the top of the building? I hear the coil firing but the ball isn't kicked up. After a few attempts it usually makes it up there. A handful of times it even took so long to get up there it went into ball search and actually drained the ball that was already locked up there. Very weird.
2) Any good scoring paths people have discovered? I'm hovering around 250m per game but really want to hit that Billion mark. Are people going for Planet X or just destroying a city for annihilation and carnage bonuses to really boost their score? Would love to hear some strats!
1) Always does it on the second try on mine.
2) My strategy is as follows, but my high score is still shy of 2 billion. Concentrate on the battle modes, but realize that some of these modes are easier than others. I have found that the modes are vastly different and the bottom mode is always the hardest for me. I usually go for Titanasaurus first. If I get a power up of extra time on a tier 1 battle I prioritize Gigan as it always takes me a little too long. Ebirah is 2nd or 3rd, and the bottom one dead last. If you can complete 2 modes you get an extra ball, so I always prioritize completing modes and changing cities. I try to save my charge up blast thingy for when I have to hit the maser cannon or the third Titanasaurus shot by the right ramp. I have never defeated all 4 monsters, but I consistently get close. Great game!
