Thanks a lot to Battletoad for hosting the previous thread. This game is really good and deserves some more attention.

I'll post my most recent score, which I got today.

DMC - 3,371,900 - 2-ALL - Hokum - DC (Arcade difficulty)
Youtube link to replay

I am 56k behind the Korean player Maxpeed. I think I will do a stage by stage comparison and see on what stages I'm behind, and decide whether it's plausible to aim for it, at least getting close to it.

Did a quick calculation and seems I'm behind quite a bit on Sea of Cloud and Submergence City on both loops, as well as the final stage (especially in loop 1).

I beat the Korean scores!

This run had 1 miss, but scoring was pretty much as good as I can get with current routes. Highest scoring video with Hokum as far as I know, so pretty happy with that, and will most likely make a commentary track for it.
There's oceans (300k) to the world record with that helicopter and I don't think that is feasible even though a lot of stuff can be lifted from the Apache WR replay. Game is still super fun, so at some point I might go back to the other helicopters.

Added a commentary track to the previously posted pb (youtube link).
