Im Being Manwiched By Japs At RE5 Mercenaries
larktenchi | 2:21 PM on 03.24.2009 13 comments


HOW THE HELL DOES THE JAPANESE DO THAT???!!!

I know they are the demi-gods at skill-based games, but how the Hell do they get a Highscore of 500,000+ mark at Solo in Public Assembly RE5 Mercenaries!!

Fuck, I wanna know how they do this!!

Now, my leaderboard rank is at the 300+ mark, but last week, that was at the 200+! They keep on upping the ceiling!! I dont know how they do that!



Being Manwiched by japanese players..

Seriously, the top20 leaders all use Wesker Midnight. Last 2 weeks, that was Wesker STARS. It is also the character im using. With its powerful HYDRA Shotty, and its Eagle Magnum, you can defeat all foes at PA, all you have to do is built a high combo streak, discard your pistol so all ammos will be shotty and magnum, use the fast reload technique (reload at the menu), take all the time bonuses, move from region to region and you can have a hundred thou score. But, I don't have a freaking Idea how they use Wesker Midnight as their top scorer.


Somebody make friends with Kurono...


Maybe they use the Handcannon exclusively. Maybe they have a different strategy. maybe.. I dont know...

Are these guys the RE5 testers or something? or are they the developers themselves? do they know some technique that we don't know in gettin a highscore like that?

Guys, share your thoughts. the Leaderboards are full of japanese. Let's help one another in breaking the cultural barrier shall we?

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

NOTE: In duo at Public Assembly, the character of choice is Jill Batlesuit. In trying to guess why, I think they use the "Melee+Time" Technique.You can find some great videos of some great guys doin it. But still, the top 20 Leaders in duo are all japanese..

F*cking Demi-gods. Japs are so good at this... Congratulations. :)

SHOUTOUT At MexiKingiCon. He's the first non-japanese player who broke in (USA). Congrats also.

I thought I was hot shit when I got my first SS rank. Then I look online and its like "Holy FUCK these guys are too good"

Well to be the second person and second Ninja to reply.. I don't know how the heck these guys are doing it? I mean I love RE5 to death and I would love to have the time to develop these made skills, but I acknowledge I'll never be anywhere near the top.

Beats me.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the leaderboards are actually pretty broken though.

I know what they're doing, Wesker Midnight has one hit melee kills, what they are doing is just doing one constant stream of melee kills, melee kills adds 5 seconds to the clock get good at chaining them and you can get a ridiculous amount of time, combine this with a big combo and getting that many points is possible.

One of my friends in the top doing what I just mentioned, it takes practice but its doable, they also get such a huge score in public assembly because its a very easy stage, even the big guy goes down to one melee strike.

@ KYOUSUKE NANBU

What melee is that? There is no difference between the melee of Wesker Midnight and Wesker S.T.A.R.S.
If you melee an executioner majini, it will only stun him.

SO, you mean that the only reason that they use Wesker Midnight is because of his H&K P8 weapon for melee-ing because Samurai Edge will almost always cause a critical hit is that what you are implying?

Still, Wesker's Cobra Strike is somewhat a "one-hit kill", but you can't use it on an executioner cause the Tiger Uppercut will be the default melee..

you can use the Handcannon though...

Has anyone else ever tried this? using the "melee+time" technique on wesker midnight? if so, how did it fair? is the cobra strike the real weapon you use?

Oh well, in time, we can find out what really is the cause of this..

Thanks for the input guys.

I have no clue how the "Japs", as you put it, are doing this!
But, after reading the comments concerning melee kills and fast reloading, I now have an idea!
Time to die, Chris!
Albert is so sick!
Mercenaries, here I come!

@ Artemus

See you at Merc Mode!!

"Time to Die Chris!!" HAHAHA!! :)

Isn't "Japs" like a racial slur? You should probably change that :P
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
Yea, his pistol will make them recoil instead of blowing their heads off and his punches kill them, maybe I got the executioner thing mixed but I do now his melees do massive damage to the executioner majini.
larktenchi's Destructoid Blog
Nope, im not a racist, Resident Evil 5 is. ;)

I FINALLY GOT IT.. Im at the 100+ Leaderboard score now!! got a 186,900+ score from Wesker Midnight! Thanks for the tip KYOUSUKE NANBU!!

I just need to refine it.. It was so hard to do, I got 5 hours of gameplay, just tryin to reach a high score.. Im so tired right now... Anyway, what KYOUSUKE NANBU said is the better tactic, rather than building a combo from the start with all your weapons, just built time (and the highest combo you possibly can) while melee-ing opponents, so when the game ends, the remaining time will be added to your score, 1000 per second.. nice...

Glad I could help :)
