Dodonpachi high score #7, 53,761,940 - and working for that second loop


This run could have been so much more awesome than it ended up being! Not only did I get over 350 hits (396 on stage 5), but I scored over 50 mil - which, if I could have held it together, would have got me into the second loop!

As it is, I'm happy with this score, the first time I have broken 50 mil. There were a ton of mistakes, including a death on stage 2 and two deaths on the stage 4 boss, who I never seem to have that much trouble with.

I died with five bombs left, which kinda sucks, but really, I have been working on getting my first loop play solid so that I can start hitting the second loop and working that. I have also been working on my chaining, with full chains coming in stage 1 and good, partial chains coming in stages 2-4. 5 and 6 are mainly survival, but 5 only seems to have a few chain breakers, so I hope I can get those down and get some serious scores coming in!

Pretty good...for a Western player. Hyuk, hyuk...

You should get some video capture hardware and start posting these runs. I would be happy to supply the reviews!

Man, that's flattering! If and when I can break the 200mil barrier, then I might start thinking of doing so. I don't know though - I have thought about recording stuff before and analyzing it, just to see the quality of the run, where I can improve, etc.

Yeah, but you know my reviews are going to be a bunch of shaz! You know I am not even close to a 1CC on this masterpiece!

Hahaha - yeah man - you still got a copy of DDP? It's a keeper in my collection! Now, I got to get a Fire Shark like you at some point too!
