Progear no Arashi (New)

[gsl]

Made this thread as a replacement for/continuation of the previous one, where the OP is no longer a forum member and scores haven't been updated for over a year.  I'll try and update this daily depending on real life, but will try and be regular about it in any case.

Trying to get into the scoring on this--or at least a first-loop clear--as it's the only Cave board (sortof) I own.  Pretty lousy attempt, but there's a hell of a lot that goes on behind the scenes in those superplay videos that I'm not quite grasping yet.

Japan - Bolt
gsl - 5,193,400 - 1-4 - Nail - gsl

Still my proudest score. Bittersweet it wasn't my 1CC though - I got that a few times, but couldn't edge this score off.  

Skykid  14,786,130    1-5      Ring    Nail
