like i said on shmups, it's probably my fault for not phrasing the question very well.
if anything, the question is kinda anti the 1CC culture. this is why i like the terms 1-ALL and 2-ALL. if someone says "i beat dai-ou-jou on a credit" there is an ambiguity because you don't know if he means 1 loop or 2.
i've cleared the first loop of dai-ou-jou lots of times, but i don't stop playing and say "i have the 1CC" because i know there's more levels to progress through, and i can do better than i am doing...
this might have been discussed before, but arcadia lists scores in a very odd way, favouring progression over score. for example, with dai-ou-jou, a 2-ALL will always be listed higher than any score that isn't a 2-ALL, and the same for any other progression. what do you guys think about that...?
