Inspired by this  I added up all out records and compared them to the Japanese scores and noted the difference. JP score - Spring Valley: 569,360 SA.net potential - 584,020 (+14,660) Spring Valley is actually potential OVER the current known Japanese score, this is mainly due to the combined efforts of GSK and Lance! JP Score Mystic Forest: 714,120 SA.net potential - 641,780 (-72,340) We are a fair ways behind here but other than Lance nobody has spent alot of time on MF so I think this is feasible. JP Score Soft Museum - 1,032,540 SA.net potential - 522,480 (-510,060) This score I am HIGHLY suspicious of this score. I think it is exploiting and as yet undiscovered glitch. GSK has pushed the level over 500,000 which I didnt think was possible but to be only half way to the best score when we are so close on all the others seems very strange. JP Score Splash Garden - 660,640 SA.net potential - 631,460 (-29,180) Again, totally within reach, Especially with the new SG4 strat. JP Score Frozen Bell: 804,000 SA.net potential - 729,780 (-74,220) Frozen Bell has been worked pretty hard by Lance and Kraken, clearly a lot of tweaking to be done here but it seems possible. JP Score Stick Canyon: 789,240 SA.net potential - 620,300 (-168,940) This one is quite far behind but it at least seems vaguely possible, perhaps once the backwards link gets sorted out for SC1 and there is a possibility of an infinite for SC2 plus further optimising for SC3 and 4 I think we might get there. No score for Twin Seeds, Xmas NiGHTS or the bosses are available at this time. All score listed are as of the 24th of April 2006    Report

The only one thats at the moment inconceivable with our current strats is SC - the rest would be refining, along with the SM stunt mode maxed out. Great work guys. gsk SA Spring Valley - 598,780 - JP Spring Valley - 569,360 - Differential + 29,420 SA Mystic Forest - 710,240 - JP Mystic Forest - 714,120 - Differential - 3,880 SA Soft Museum - 754,760 - JP Soft Museum - 1,032,540 - Differential - 277,780 SA Splash Garden - 631,460 - JP Splash Garden - 660,460 - Differential - 29,000 SA Frozen Bell - 756,820 - JP Frozen Bell - 804,000 - Differential - 47, 180 SA Stick Canyon - 664,550 - JP Stick Canyon - 789,240 - Differential - 124,690    Report

12-31-2007, 1:36 PM gsk Joined on 02-08-2006 London Posts 416 Re: Japanese high scores from CVG circa 1996 vs SA.net lol sorry Airmax, this thread all stems from an infamous article in CVG, a games magazine, that published some, at the time, stupidily high scores from Japan, check it out here. There was no Twin Seeds, Bosses or Xmas Nights so they're not on the list -so as far as we know, you have the TS World Record!    Report

12-31-2007, 3:41 PM charlie Joined on 10-28-2007 Ontario, Canada Posts 108 Re: Japanese high scores from CVG circa 1996 vs SA.net Stick Canyon seems possible...with the current SA mare records we end up at a potential 737,440 (107,490 + 85,830 + 128,090 + 47,310 = 368,720 x 2.0 = 737,440). So our potential is only 51,800 short, or 25,900 before the boss. Lui, you could definitely do it. Your potential is already at 723,200. Go for it man!! Any suggestions which mare we should work on to find the extra points?? The stunt ribbon seems the most likely but I haven't played this dream much so maybe somewhere else?? On a separate note, too bad there isn't a Japanese site with high scores, eh? I've spent some time searching google and trying to decipher japanese sites but never have any luck. There's gotta be a forum some place or something...oh well.    Report

All the JP scores are now beat (as far as we know)! Some not by much but it's pretty cool to know that they were all possible. While playing SC I was having a really difficult time believing it was possible because it was so tough but it just required a nearly perfect run. I know I can get well over 800k, I just need to buy a new 3D controller before I can give it a try again. I really wish I didn't take it apart *bangs head on desk*    Report

Its not so much a glitch as perfecting the 'stunt mode' in Soft Museum. Check out the SM gameplay page for details, and this WR video by Charlie for details.    Report

I'm a complete noob to nights, only played it for the first time when it was released on PS2. The saturn being one of the only consoles I've never owned. It really does live up to the hype for me though, the look, the style, the atmosphere, the speed, the fun :D I can see why it's considered such a classic. I'm quite surprised it's taken this long to get a sequel and re-release.    Report
