Keith Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Heh, just finished and got SS on the EX mission where you unlock Roy's VF-1S without FPs. Second half of the mission was tough, until I remembered Max's special ability to stop time and used it to take out Milia. Graham Bingo, though ishe's still tough f you use it at even the slightest wrong time. Edited September 30, 2009 by Keith Quote
Graham Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Had a marathon epic day yesterday. Unlocked the stat limiter, the VF-27 & Battle Frontier and got 'S' or 'SS' on all remaing missions except one. Graham Quote
Graham Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Only one last mission left to complete, the Macross Plus Ex mission 'Song of the Devil'. Having trouble defeating the SDF-1. Even Guld's vaunted special ramming attack seems useless. Any advice appreciated. Graham Quote

Even Guld's vaunted special ramming attack seems useless. Any advice appreciated. Graham Second toughest mission in the game. Don't worry about melee, don't bother using the YF-21's special on anything except the Ghost. What I'd reccomend for the Macross half of the mission, is immediately tab + down on the crosspad to lock onto the Macross's missile turrets. switch to Gerwalk, and keep your ass in motion while unloading the gunod. If you survive long enough to take out all the missile turrets, you'll significantly cut down on the fire coming your way. Switch back to fighter, and missile the VF-11's to hell. Once all that's gone, you're pretty safe in lieasurely taking out the rest of the Macross. Also, keep your PPB up as much as possible, its much weaker, and recharches much slower, since the EX mission YF-21 has base stats, but it could still save your ass.

Just got SS on the first attempt following Keith's advice. I'm now 100% on all eras, all missions and EX missions with S or SS. Unlocked Geperi-what's-her-face. Graham Quote
BlueMax Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Good for you! Now you can start with Macross Ultimate Frontier.... but think you need a firmware upgrade though Quote
Keith Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Hmm, now Graham, did you S rank the freeplay missions? Quote
Graham Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Hmm, now Graham, did you S rank the freeplay missions? Ha, no, I haven't even touched Freeplay yet. Do you earn tune points in Freeplay? Graham Quote
Graham Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 OK, started the Freeplay VS missions this morning, but I'm not getting any rank showing up after finishing a mission. Any idea why this is? I'm guessing it's something to do with the settings. I'm not dying at all, and I'm wiping the floor with the 3 computer enemies even when they are set on the hardest seeting. However, I am using my tuned mechs? Is that why? Do I need to use untuned, stock mecha to get ranking? Graham Quote

Graham Ah, hit right (or left) on the top option, should remove the bottom 3 options, and then switch the one that say "limit" to on, and then ok, that will take you to a set of special "ace" vs stages via freeplay.

Renato Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 Those "VS Ace" missions are nigh-on impossible unless you play with friends connected. And no, I don't know anyone who would ever want to do that. The Kakizaki mission was funny though. One hit and he's dead, end of mission! Quote
Keith Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Actually, not so impossible. Or I should say, not so impossible to S, SS is another matter. For the single Valkyrie/Q-Rau missions, the SV-51 is your friend, I prefer the Nora type. Equip the Misa skill, fly in by yourself (zero backup, unless it's just too hard which some are), and switch your main weapon to the machine gun. Spend most of your time in fighter, shooting off missiles constantly, but when you get enough SP, use the Misa skill, switch to battroid, SP dash right next to your foe, and unleash the blazing death that is the SV-51's machine gun. Repeat as necessary. If you come out with enough HP, you should get an S. Now for your fights against bitchass foes like Bodolza, stick with the SV-51, but have your 3 other Wingmen in Gigil's mecha. They will use the Spiritia sucker to freeze Bodolza dead in his tracks. Enjoy the free kill fest as you use the Misa skill to increase your killing power, and you should get an SS on him pretty easy. Gepelnitch is a little tricky (stay low) and avoid the beam attack. Quote
lfhoule Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Hello, Been a long time lurker on this thread, but I've come out of hiding seeking help. Save for a couple of EX missions that I just recently unlocked, I've pretty much got a 'B' ranking or above on all of the regular missions, save for the Mac+ era mission "After, in the dark ~ Torch Song", which no matter which era fighter I use, I'm only getting 'C' ranking. And I've pretty much boosted all the fighter stats to max already (and my character and wingman are pretty much maxed out as well. Thanks!! Quote

Unless Keith answers first, I'll run through that mission tonight and come back with some tips. I've got either S or SS on it. Graham Quote

Graham Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Those "VS Ace" missions are nigh-on impossible unless you play with friends connected. And no, I don't know anyone who would ever want to do that. The Kakizaki mission was funny though. One hit and he's dead, end of mission! I've now got SS rank on 8 of the Freeplay missions and A, B or Cs on the rest. Using Keith's tricks of having 3 Gigile's in Fz-109Fs as your wingmen, to freeze your opponent, so you can hammer them with gunpod or machine gun fire for insane combo bonuses really works well with the bigger enemies. Still having trouble getting an S rank against the smaller faster enemies on the Freeplay missions though. Will keep on trying Graham Quote
Keith Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Just remember, as fun as it sounds, do "not" use 4 Bodolza's in any of these missions. It will crash the game & freeze your PSP until it restarts itself. Quote
mospeadamacrosstech Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Will this play on a US PSP or do I need to invest in a Japanese PSP? 26 pages for both threads! Wow. LOTS to catch up on when I get some more time. Excited to play this! Quote
sdf2501 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 PSP UMD games are region-free so the disc will work on a US PSP. Quote
KOTUS Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Hi all, I know that I'm extremely late to the party but I've only just picked up a copy of MAF for my PSP. I remember seeing someone post an image here (of menu's with english translations) many moons ago, and would appreciate if someone could repost them in this thread. I'm currently playing the game from the beginning every time I fire up the PSP because I don't know where the save option is. Quote
Macross1982 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Get Set is impossible, Is the only no Ex Mission that I have yet to get an S or SS, I killed all the little Bajura and leave the big ones alive, I finish them after I kill all the little ones, 60(S) and 6(L) Total and the best I can get is an A Quote

Macross1982 Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 My Girlfriend Rocks!!!!!, she is japanese and looked it up on a japanese website, and in order to get an S you have to kill the 60 (S) 6 (L) and get over 48000 Points for an SS do that and get 57000 Points. Quote
Graham Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I have the game guide books for MAF and MUF, so if anybody wants to know how many points you need to S or SS a specific stage, please ask. Graham Quote
Macross1982 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I have a 100% Mission 100% Items, all S or SS, But my stat limiter has not unlocked, why is that? Quote
Keith Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I have a 100% Mission 100% Items, all S or SS, But my stat limiter has not unlocked, why is that? Did you S rank the freeplay missions? Quote
Macross1982 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) Did you S rank the freeplay missions? Not really I thought that you only needed to do all the regular missions to unlock it, Graham seems to have done it without the freeplay. Had a marathon epic day yesterday. Unlocked the stat limiter, the VF-27 & Battle Frontier and got 'S' or 'SS' on all remaing missions except one. Graham Hmm, now Graham, did you S rank the freeplay missions?
