<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

Yoooo, first time actually clearing stage 4! I even died foolishly in stage 1, but I guess that doesn't really matter since I can clear stage 2 without any chain medals.

Score from yesterday, my second time clearing stage 3. The first time I just barely managed to break 700,000 points (I didn't even break the default stage high score of 701,000), and this time wasn't much better. Tech bonus is tech bonus, though.

Some bizarre balancing choices in this game. Necks is straight up better than Serbee. Medium path stage 2 can be beaten even if you crash a bunch or fail to kill the boss, but medium path stage 3 is harder than the extra stage.
I'm enjoying it so far.

I keep waiting for the boss to laugh at me or something on the game over screen, but he just stares.

Got hit by stage 2 boss but managed to barely clear stage 3. Still no good at stage 4 but at least I got most of the fast red enemies that zip across from left to right.

Only posting for triple sevens, because those always look nice. I was only 190 points away from stage 4, what a tease.

Pretty bummed that I died at stage 3's boss and that I missed one of the big bonuses in stage 4 but I'm still okay with this

Tremendously enjoy the game (despite usually hating Caravan), doesn't change a jot about the fact that I'm still horrible at it. Unlike with all the other games, I'm not even sure how high a realistic score for me could look like - I know how much of the obvious stuff I've missed, ~3.25m or so are certainly obtainable, but beyond that? I'd imagine this will be a week with several scores close to each other.

This is about as bad as a 1CC can get, but at least it's a clear. Both stages 3 and 4 were photo finishes. Finally getting the hang of this.

A lot of mistakes and missed bonuses on the final stage. I wish the ship didn't feel so slippery.

Finally got a run without any serious mistakes! I've never played anything like this before, but I really like it, so I'll keep playing and see if I can do better.

Took a few hits, including one on the stage 1 boss trying to get too close to destroy the bottom pieces and one at the beginning of stage 3 getting too stubborn to pass up a yellow ship wave, forcing me to go through most of the stage with medium power. Bombed a crapton to make up for those hits

Still missing a few rather substantial sources of bonus points, but I'm nonetheless satisfied with where this is going. No clue how that 4.1m WR is possible, though!
Edit for a slightly better score which doesn't change anything - should have played the game more, I suppose.

This might be the smallest improvement in a score I've ever had. 510 points lmao.
