Ikaruga - Chapter 3, Normal - 185 chain S++
Xbox 360 version. 185 chain and 5,621,200 points (rank S++). Replay available on leaderboards.
I switched to using an arcade stick this week, and I'm still getting used to it. Rapid tapping is actually possible now, as opposed to the regular 360 controller; I do that at 2:25, where simply using autofire apparently amounts to leaving chaining that section to luck.
Well this stage is pretty tough. There are a few places where it's really easy to screw up and break the chain (and possibly die); there were a few mistakes in this run but fortunately none of them caused a chain break. I still have no clue how to handle the bonus enemies at the end (there's another potential million or so points there!) and I unsurprisingly die on the boss. I don't care; I got the S++ (by a significant margin). I am really not looking forward to doing stage 4, but I'm sure it'll feel really satisfying once I do it.
