The Armchair General - 62,223,530 - ALL - Type B

This score was achieved in 2017. I don't have a video or even a screenshot anymore. But it was written down somewhere. You can take it or leave it.

This should have been posted a long time ago. I was frustrated and didn't want to look at anything STG related. It was an immature and unsportsmanlike thing to do and I apologize for that. I promise if the same scenario played out today this would not have happened.

I will not be getting back into STGs. This is something I've moved on from and have different things I feel fortunate to be working on.

I will disappear again now.

Thank you for not forgetting about this score and finally posting it! This is a great achievement and obviously I want to include it.

Wishing you all the best with your present and future non-STG endeavours. I salute you, my friend! :)

Juju Kenobi - 56,452,000 - ALL - 285 - Type B - Japan ver.

Finally a decent PB.
Got a 35.054.900 first loop, got the capacity bonus in 2-2 then died early in 2-3.
Pretty bad 2-5 (so no Phantom chain) but managed to clear with no ressources left.

I'll keep playing this game for quite a while.

This run was done live on Twitch:

Juju Kenobi - 65,631,340 - ALL - 285 - Type B - Japan ver.

28.9m first loop
2-3 capacity but a bomb in 2-2
2 deaths in 2-4 (red planes then very stupid death on the boss)
stupid death early in 2-5
it was looking to be another 55m or a very short PB
but phantom came to the rescue (249 hits, almost 8m)
Clear with 1 remaining extend.

Amazing score, and what a jump from your previous! How much further do you think you can go? Is 70 possible?

Thx.
Not really such a big jump considering I went from 35 to 56m before.
Also technically I routed the game for a way higher score, but this is not how this game works at all in practice.
I am not getting a 42m first loop, into a 2-4 capacity bonus, with magnum and phantom anytime soon.
Only time will tell.
