Infinity Drive (8.6)
Shiitake run (L26)

Talking with DreamsmithJane and Sycle about Shiitake's potential in Infinity Drive kind of inspired me to practice a bit more with Shiitake in that mode. So I've been gradually learning (my first few attempts weren't very good)... and gradually figuring out an Infinity Drive Shiitake strategy that works for me. More recently, reef1017831 expressed some interest in seeing a character other than Aubergine, and I said if I ever got a decent run with Shiitake, I'd probably upload that.

I finally got a decent Shiitake run. =) I didn't make it anywhere near L31 (currently the highest Layer I've gotten to with Aubergine), but I did make it to L26, which IMO is pretty good for a character that I've played nowhere near as much as I've played Aubergine. =) Also, somehow, I actually managed to beat my current best Aubergine score, which I wasn't expecting (I did pretty well on the Boss Layers with Shiitake, which probably helped my score a lot)!

Anyway, because of how good Shiitake tends to be in crowds, she actually seems to be a pretty good character for some of the higher Layers... though of course, you do have to play her very differently from Aubergine (who's good with crowds in a different way). =)


Some possible points of interest:

0:07 Layer 1
0:52 Initial chain ends (at 60 XD) due to time
2:43 BGM changes for the first time
2:54 Longest chain begins
3:14 Layer 5
6:22 Layer 7: Embryo
8:48 Longest chain ends (806) due to time
9:06 First knockdown (melee spider)
10:03 Layer 10
15:46 Layer 15: Vespula
23:04 Layer 20
27:58 Layer 23: Justice
30:28 Layer 25
32:53 Layer 26 (this Infinity Drive run ends on this Layer)
