I blew less of my week than usual...but still most of the week. I'm going to try a little more, to brea a million, but for now all I got is

yes, mario riding nothing

Uhh, I got hopelessly addicted to La Mulana this week and forgot to play after Monday.

My score was 1.4something million in stage 2 though..

Got an improvement on the last chance before the deadline!

4,525,650 - Breakdown - Stage 5 - Maria (C)

Would've been stage 6 if my last get-power-ups-after-dying before the bosses (got the hovertank extend in 5, so had a guy to burn) didn't trigger both a special shot and option power up. Score would've been higher if Envy hadn't come second or if I hadn't lost my medal chain at the tail end of stage 3.

Yeah my best score with 9 credits. I had the most trouble at the start, losing the first plane before 100k sometimes. After getting afew weapon powerups it gets a lot easier. The first boss was never an issue. I just used what I assume to be option on it. The wall of lasers was always a pain.

Oh yeah rank control was not for me. I did not have time nor want to fiddle with such things. It was a fun game for how long it lasted.

6,974,210 - Enhasa - Stage 7 - Carpet (S)

Doh, just barely missed my goal of 7mil. :-/ I actually got this score last night, but then there were insane thunderstorms and my internet got knocked out, and then today I was gone most of the day. I had about as good of a run as I can personally do until the end of Highway (I even did the Gob Robo trick correctly both times), so I think if I'm going to improve this, I'm going to try to control rank more aggressively to get farther. For one thing, suicide twice to start off and alternate between 1 and 2 lives instead of 2 and 3. Not really sure where to put the 2nd one though just yet.

In addition to Icarus's superplay linked earlier (10.8 mil), here is some unknown guy with 17.8 mil.

Ok, this week is over. Doing next week crap right now.

Enhasa: how much do you have after killing Bashinet mk2? I had a run that ended on him at 4.3mil, might've broken 5mil if I'd survived the timeout pattern.

Played around a bit more and tried using some different options on my character select.

I used the no-edit, non-random stage select (type B?).

803406 - DK64_MASTER - Stage 3-4

Done for the day... I was pleasantly surprised with my performance for this one. I found that going slow is very beneficial, although it tests my patience. Combo spotting is essential in later levels. You just need to get a general feel of how things may end up looking after a mini-pyramid is cleared, and usually your estimate is correct.

FYI, ASG are my initials.

My mom plays the shit out of a clone of this game, and I've played a ton too, so i am just letting you guys know in advance my score may be ridiculous :-).

We'll see how it turns out in a bit though!

hint: MARP has some sweet replays available too :-)

I've already copied all the big combos from the replay (and I could kind of figure out most of them from playing random-map uo-poko games), now its just a matter of speed and making sure I don't fuck up some of the smaller combos like i did here.

Never was a big fan of puzzle games, but while it took a couple tries for me to come around to it, I must admit this is pretty fun. I do already miss APB though.

I just realised I didn't post a score for APB. If it isn't too late, I just managed to break 1 million. I probably beat mike but since I don't know for certain I'll put it just below him.

Stupid stage.

The time left at the end of a stage seems to influence the ball pattern in the next one. Ugh. This is like a nightmare to score well in. I rarely even make it to stage 7 and I generally mess that one up.
