Renato Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Old thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26540 I'm not sure if there is any real need to have a part 2 of this thread, since everyone by now seems to have gotten bored of the game. Well, I'm still not, and I'm slowly but surely working my way through the EX missions whenever I have free time. This game is fantastic because you can pick it up, play for five minutes and then get back to your real life, or you can go on for hours on end. Anyway, a few months back I was also thinking of starting a "strike a pose" kind of thread here where people could upload their most dynamic and/or cool screenshots or replays that they would like to share. Lastly, how the hell do you do the Miss Macross EX mission in Macross Frontier?? I swear, that Queadluun Rea is useless. The beam weapons are crap because Michael and gang prance about so quickly that you will always miss. Only the missiles are any good. What I found odd was the first couple of tries I could beat the Skull team with no problem, but the Vajras always killed me. Now I'm lucky if I can even get past Michael and Alto. Even Luca is a bit of a challenge! Next time I have a chance to play I'm gonna see if I can score some tune points on the Yack Deculture mission (the one with millions of enemies) to power up the Q-Rea because it's gonna take forever otherwise. Here are some pics to spice things up: "Mr Anderson! MISTER Anderson....! Mr Anderson!... Mister..." Quote
SkullLeaderVF-X Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 can someone post screen caps of all the load screen pics? Quote
Beltane70 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I"ve used the tuning of my fighters to beat most of the missions that I have difficulty with. That's pretty much the only way for me to compensate for my lack of skill! I'd make a terrible fighter pilot in real life! Quote
runab0ut Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) People might have been bored with this game... am not. MP still sucks thanks to "Guld's super kill em all" in 10 secs! Edited March 7, 2009 by runab0ut Quote
kanedaestes Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I thin Sad Sniper EX mission is the hardest thing ever. I don't know what it is but not matter what i do in how i improve Michel's valk he seems to take damage like nobody's business. Like the smallest missile always seem to take off ridiculous amounts.

Can't remember how I beat that one, but I did it in just a couple of goes, I guess I was lucky or something. I cannot get past Miss Macross EX, though. Quote

Oihan Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I'm far from being bored with this game. There's way too much down time if you ask me...battery recharges...work...school...real life...etc. >_> Quote
ortzaku Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 i like the nature of the game itself but the gameplay sucks.just feel the intensity!! Quote
kanedaestes Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 where can i buy the game that doesnt cost me an arm and a leg and is it hard to understand cuz iduno japanese Yesasia is a good place. I got mine on ebay. You can buy it anywhere for about 40 bucks. It isn't expensive at all. It is also easy to figure out. I don't know or read any japanese and I figured out the game to the point that I have an overall A on the game right now and working of getting S or SS on everything. Too Bad I can't beat Sad Sniper EX. Michels valk just sucks to bad imho. Quote

Upgrades don't count for EX missions; the pilot only has access to his original stats and skill sets. The only thing that'll get you through the Friendly Fire mission is either skill or luck (or both). It's the one thing I haven't beaten yet (I got close once but that b@st@rd Brera got away). I only need to beat this to unlock Brera as a pilot. I'm sure I'll accomplish it one day... Quote

kanedaestes Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I finally FINALLY beat Sad Sniper on EX. Now i am trying to improve my overall score but all the levels that have containers I never get higher than a B. Am I missing something??? Also I can't seem to get passed a B on Macross + Era where you fight in space then Isamu and Guld. I want to get my S ranking so I can get my EX mission but feel i am missing something there too Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I love MAF so much... best game EVARH. Quote
Renato Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Congrats! I finally FINALLY beat Miss Macross EX too! Snapped up the VF-27. Man, that's some crazy stuff it pulls when you go into overdrive. You tend to overtake any ship you're trying to catch up to, even the Ghost X9! I didn't get Brera, though. Dunno what you have to do to get him. Also, I guess you have to ace all of the Frontier missions with S or above to get the VF-171XE? Well... that's gonna take a while. Quote
kanedaestes Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Okay so its official I can kick ass every except levels that require me to grab containers, I still don't get what i am doing wrong?? Quote
shiroikaze Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) I actually think Sad Sniper EX isn't that hard... I just need patience, be in gerwalk, and have them come straight at me or at least get close to me. I just hate those ubered Vajras where they take can take more than 3 hits of my sniper rifle... and also the fact that Alto can target you and vice versa. I don't even know what I'm doing wrong with the container mission and Isamu vs Guld mission. [edit]At least I beat Sad Sniper EX... with a C =\ Well, I got a Battle Frontier and the VF-27... so all's well. Edited March 29, 2009 by shiroikaze Quote
Keith Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Sad Sniper with a C is easy, Sad Sniper with SS is legendary, all who achieve it should be recruited by the Star League Quote
Renato Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) I got a B on it. What I'm surprised at it that after hundreds of instant deaths because of Mikhael's one-shot wonder, what I finally managed to pass Miss Macross EX with... was an SS!! Seriously, I have no idea what happened. The SMS guys must've been asleep that time. What I still don't get is how do you manage to switch operators? People keep talking about maximising hearts and so on, but I have no idea what you actually have to do in the game to increase "trust" between your operator, your partner and yourself...

I think you just gotta keep doing missions with each of the operators selected. Quote
Hikuro Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Sad Sniper with a C is easy, Sad Sniper with SS is legendary, all who achieve it should be recruited by the Star League Starting to SS on A LOT of missions now....so I'm tempted on taking that challenge! Quote

[edit]At least I beat Sad Sniper EX... with a C =\ Well, I got a Battle Frontier and the VF-27... so all's well. For Isamu vs Guld you have to take the two of them out immediately. I found a video online where someone used Michel's valk and just did the special and blasted both of them at the very beginning of the second half. Instant S status. That's what I did too. I would still like some assistance on how to get better scores on the containers and how to get Gelpinich in Mac 7. That's the only character/valk/mech that I haven't unlocked yet. Quote
Hikuro Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I also got one of Valk009's but I have yet to really build it cause I don't have the proper materials, just sand and primed. Quote

Hikuro Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Wait nevermind........my mind is is going dumb. Edited April 1, 2009 by Hikuro Quote
Hikuro Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 wasn't able to take good pictures, but my scores are greatly improving over time. Quote
Vepariga Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 i still have to get a hold of this game,looks quite good. Quote
kanedaestes Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 The game is very much worth picking up, and addicting. Quote
Hikuro Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I took more screenshots of my action packed adventures of awesomeness. So there's some shots of me kickin Badolza's ass...another one tellin a Destroid where his place is.....kickin Hikaru's ass.....and me piloting my YF-19. Quote
kanedaestes Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Hey Hikuro, how did you do no the container levels? Can you get higher than a B??? Can anyone??? Quote
Hikuro Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 The container stuff I kind of suck at, those arelike the only ones I blow. Quote
jwinges Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Ahhh. Frustrating. I haven't picked up my psp since 2007. Can anyone tell me what the best hacking firmware is that will run Ace frontier? the last program I used for running games was devhook44. Please help...leaving for a trip Friday morning. Quote
Hikuro Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Don't know of any sorry...perfer to buy my Macross goods then hack it Either case I played a lil tonight...and thought "Heh, I got an A on the Hikaru battle....lets see if I can improve that" and sure enough, I fried his ass in 4 seconds. When he popped out, I gave him a quick bitch slapped then used the super combo stuff and he was down. Used what was left of my combo special and knocked out the CF and it was over. Got an SS for it too. I thought I'd get an S but not an SS. Quote
Keith Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Any news on new Macross Ace or Gundam Battle sequels any time soon? I've played both to death, and need my bi-yearly fix! Quote
