I earned an ALL2 1-credit-clear on Raiden Fighters Jet to go with my previous and paltry ALL1. Path was 1->5->15->20->40->50. Score was 21M and change. Yes, I know that’s bad. That’s the idea.
My pattern for the weekend was to take a few swipes at the sim50 birdboss in training each day. Before this run I added a practice session on the 20 and 50 bosses. The former as a refresher, the latter because I knew I was just sloppily bombing and hoping.
The run itself doesn’t make much of a tale. I had 1 life and like a dozen goddamn bombs in stock when I reached 50, so I played cautiously. Adrenalin didn’t kick in until I reached the boss. Bombfested and still managed to die once in his last phase of damage, during the recharge delay for the Fairy’s bomb.
Scoreplay is up next. This effort leaves me at 6th, I think, on the Live scoreboard. Which is deceptive, because the dropoff is so dramatic. I have only 20% of Twiddle‘s top entry. So it’s really no score at all.
Score begets rank. Rank begets speedy bullets. May speedy bullets beget more fun.
