Killed in the same fucking place for the third time! As soon as I find a way to no-miss the canyon part of stage 12, stage 13's tank kills me during a bomb explosion! And then I proceed to get massacred by lasers and energy rings in stage 17, as usual! GRR.

I again failed to get the glitch bonus from the S4 boss. I did milk Ryu for 50K, though, and managed to go podless for the first three stages.

I find it odd that using the laser led to my best game.

I have some kind of mental block with this game... I die in the exact same places every time.

DoubleThink: sorry, you posted just before I updated the scoreboard and I missed your post, and I only check from the last 'scoreboard updated' onwards >_>.

Aquas: Pod type? I put it in as 'Smart?' for now but would like a confirmation.

Scoreboard updated.

[Aquas]

Oops, sorry about that. Anyway, I got the clear with 1 life remaining. I didn't have any stupid deaths this run so it came through for me... this game requires some patience. Bomb and wiggle a lot! I think the best part about this game is sweeping a screen full of enemies with a bomb, diving right into the heart of everything, point blanking shit left and right.

Stage 18 is exactly as obnoxious as 17. :\

An extremely lucky and cowardly survival run. Almost no bonuses, stuck to the left side of the too-large playfield and trusted the untrustworthy pods. I wiggled my stick constantly and tried not to get rammed in the rear.

Is it just me, or can you also wiggle up and down instead of left and right to recharge? Do any pair of opposite directions work?

[DJ Incompetent]

THE ORANGE! SO MUCH ORANGE!! MY EYES
That red helicopter, like train 2, not my friend. I don't think I'm gonna be able to beat all that business again.

Man I'm awful at this scoring system thing. I'll get to stage 86 and totally won't break the top 10.
TodayIsForgotten, I've tried sir. I know you got this. Do me proud.
ursane, good lookin' out!

Oh yeah, and special thanks to samuelzone! 'Couldn't have done it without ya. I will buy and/or steal all your shit. woo!

I find moving the stick in a circle does the job. I figure it just registers any direction change.

Thanks, but actually my problem was that I thought pictures could be uploaded to the forum itself; in my stupidity I didn't realize I had to upload it somewhere else and point to it from here. I'm too old to learn new stuff.
