Nice work! It seems the World Record is something like 32 million, so you've got that to aim for now.

my copy arrived today. I'm pretty deep into The Last of Us for gaming time right now, but I'll try to give this a shot later tonight.

Update so we don't fall too far behind -

rufus777 - 11,381,000 - ALL - Hit 201 / Chain 141 - Cotton1/Appli1/Silk - Saturn
mjmjr25 - 2,192,600 - Stage 3 - 38 Chain / 300 Hit - Needle/Cotton 1/Cotton 3 - Saturn
ExedExes - 2,083,500 - Stage 4 - 39 Chain / 23 Hit - Cotton 1/Cotton 2/Cotton 3 - MAME
DocHauser- 2,054,800 - Stage 3 - 50 Chain / 193 Hit - Cotton 3/Appli 2/Appli 3 - Shmupmame 2.2
pierrot - 1,901,600 - Stage 3 (boss) - 74 Chain / 145 Hit - Appli 1/Appli 3/Silk - Saturn
noiseredux - 876,000 - Stage 3 - chain? - Needle/Appli 3/? - Saturn

Now that I'm done with that other TR game for the month, I hope for 1 or 2 more good efforts at this. I feel I may have stonewalled my best score on this one, but I'll try it again before the month is up.

I need to post a new score, i've been hitting over a million but havent posted.

Not digging it. Too many buttons.

Edit: 985,300 - Stage 3 - Silk/Needle/Cotton 1 - Sat

Edit 2: 1,129,800 -Stage 3 - Silk/Needle/Cotton 1 - Sat

I'm back !

ExedExes - 2,867,600 - Stage 4 - 23 Chain / 102 Hit - Needle/Cotton 3/Appli 2 - MAME

I focused more on hits getting as high as 30-60 multiple times and as a result, many more higher-value point bubbles in the process, hung on to take out more 50k dragons at the Stage 1 boss (and realized that the bosses have a TIME LIMIT), and canceled a ton of tentacles on the Stage 3 boss, something about that technique I really enjoy. Also got the no tea bonus on Stage 1 and 2, easier with a smaller character.

Update then:

rufus777 - 11,381,000 - ALL - Hit 201 / Chain 141 - Cotton1/Appli1/Silk - Saturn
ExedExes - 2,867,600 - Stage 4 - 23 Chain / 102 Hit - Needle/Cotton 3/Appli 2 - MAME
mjmjr25 - 2,192,600 - Stage 3 - 38 Chain / 300 Hit - Needle/Cotton 1/Cotton 3 - Saturn
DocHauser- 2,054,800 - Stage 3 - 50 Chain / 193 Hit - Cotton 3/Appli 2/Appli 3 - Shmupmame 2.2
pierrot - 1,901,600 - Stage 3 (boss) - 74 Chain / 145 Hit - Appli 1/Appli 3/Silk - Saturn
dsheinem - 1,129,800 - Stage 3 - Silk/Needle/Cotton 1 - Saturn
noiseredux - 876,000 - Stage 3 - chain? - Needle/Appli 3/? - Saturn

Getting things started with Rapid Hero:

dsheinem - 303,840 - Stage 3

I really like this one. I'm gonna bitch like crazy if people use autofire though.

Also: if anyone liked Cotton Boomerang enough to buy it, it is on my trade list now
