That was the high score in one of the replay videos I've seen... maybe that's the same machine? Unlikely, but I guess you never know. :X (actual score was 6,589,190)NTSC-J wrote:BBH, if you need more incentive to keep playing, the top score I saw at the arcade the other day was ~6,5 million. I never see anyone playing it, so this might be one of the tip-top scores.
Way too lofty a score to be possible for me. To get 7.1 million you'd have to be getting around 3.5 million per loop (I'll assume that the first loop score is lower because you can get bigger bomb bonus in the 2nd loop if you start it with 6 bombs). I'm getting around 2.7 million on the first loop, and in the event that I ever manage to finish the second loop, my score would be lower since I'm bombing for my life and tend to miss some of the big Option kills.oxtsu wrote:Pretty close...the current WR is 7.1 million.
I'm definitely not capable of getting the world record, I'll be content if I can just manage an all clear. I'll feel a little more confident once I can do the second loop with 3 lives... then it's just a matter of putting together a game where I 1-life the first loop and then keep the magic going during the second. Yeah, that ain't gonna be easy.
