I like the "was that death deliberate" game you can play when watching replays like this. Nice run.

I'm taking a break from pushing for a higher score and getting into playing the game with random unused ships from the roster, just to see how far they can go, which is actually really fun.
Lightning Wolf for example is a decent ship, you'll have some scares from missiles since it only shoots straight forward without options but it is quite powerful with its sideshot and charge attack (annoyingly you can't recall the charged options like you can in Batrider, so you better place them right the first time)
The only thing really keeping it from being a scoring ship is its low speed, only the possibility of some very good and unexpected setups with its charge attack could compensate for that.
Made it all the way to Vampire so not a bad run for a super random ship choice.

This is actually my first 1cc, scoring or not, with some random ship that isn't Flame Viper.
While I still think fast ships have a large advantage (medalling, hunting popcorn with aura) it's obvious that even very slow ships like Saber Tiger can compete at chaining, as this run could easily reach 110m territory. Sadly while both Saber Tiger and Solid Ray have strong firepower, I haven't found any strategies yet that could compensate for their medalling disadvantage, at any rate the slow ships aren't disqualified from being potential WR material just yet.

Thanks, be sure to check out the medalling in this one.

Sky Dragon is the fastest ship that still has good essentials, like a high-powered twin main shot and decent side shot coverage, I prefer it ever since I've started focusing on medalling.

Ended up switching to Flame Viper because it seems to make milking on the 1st boss a lot easier
