Yeah I know this thread is dead, but still:
Arcade (PCB)
marus-MPO - 472,200,962 - ALL (Lx2) - Ageha
It's not quite the score I was hoping for, but I'm happy to finally have a decent 1CC! Aside from getting the clear, overall the run wasn't all that great. I messed up the second half of stage 1 (no 2nd extend boo), and stage 2 wasn't all that great either since I didn't come into the boss with enough gems to score on all three patterns. Stage 3 went okay, but then I performed one of the worst stage 4 I have ever done - I got tagged while zesshikaing the big airship over the river (just before the midboss), triggering an autobomb and costing me a lot of points. Then after the midboss I stupidly ran into a single bullet, so I had to do the rest of the stage with a large gem and gold deficit, which cost me even more points. To make up for it, stage 5 went pretty well at least - I was able to properly chain the stage, including the part after the reverse scrolling section which is always a trouble spot for me. I came into the boss with enough gems and gold to score on all three parts as well, which was good. Unfortunately things took a 360 in stage 6 - I messed up the first midboss (I destroyed the right arm too early so no milking fun), then I died on the second midboss meaning I had to focus on restoring gold and couldn't zesshikai it. Thankfully the Alice clone section went well, and I made it into the final boss with 3 lives. I was pretty tense the whole time, but overall the fight went okay. I knew I had it in the bag when I made it to the last pattern with still 3 lives in stock
Anyways, tomorrow is the last day this game will be in my arcade, so that'll be my last chance for glory. At the very least I'd like to break 500 million before retiring.
