I managed to up my PB to 11 million last night on stream, but I still can't seem to get a cleanly executed run to get that clear. Either I'll make a mistake during the Dual Horn fight, mess up the capture of the Eta stage captain and lose a life, not get a clean capture of the Lambda stage captain, lose the captain prior to the boss fight, or take a death during Lightning Coronatus. My entire initial Coronatus boss strats rely on having that captain with me, so while I can fudge my way through it during that first phase, I can't do enough damage to him w/o being able to Alpha Beam early on where the fight becomes much harder later on. I also sometimes forget that I absolutely HAVE to come into the final stage with at least 1 capture ball so I can snag that captain, because if I don't, I'm hosed. It's a bit frustrating, but I know I can do it, because I have in practice runs. But in a full run, I haven't managed to have that same success. I'll get it, but it's a little frustrating leading up to that.

I finally got my clear! Yes, it's only on the Lambda route, but I feel pretty good about it, considering how long I've owned this game, and how much I've played it casually over the years. I ended up with a 1.6 million score all told, which is a new PB for a full 1-credit run. Happy with the end result! Here's the run itself:

Thank you! I was really hoping for a no-miss, but I feel pretty good with it at this point. I may try to do a bit more over time, but was stoked to at least get the initial clear during the month while we're playing it.

Anyone have final thoughts on the game we can share on the podcast?

I didn't get as much time in as I wanted, but I did break through my stage 2 wall and found some more success. An update was released June 1, more versions, including the PS1 release, and more gadgets on the sides. I think this added health bars for both captures and bosses which is a really great improvement, and their previous absence was noticeable because there was just empty space there before. https://www.nintendolife....-and-lots-of-improvements

Some time in the future I think I'll find more time to commit to this and try to improve some more.
