but Gourmand instead of attacking Dr. Erode insisted in attacking me with his Power attacks, so I died - bastard!
Sometimes you gotta have luck with your companions...
I guess that with an arcade stick and all items unlocked you can get better scores, as special items that do more damage release more coins from enemies (flame rod is a good example).
If it's any consolation, I beat my AI partners to near death during both Boss Battles and Stage Selection segments for additional currency
Not true! playing the game under ACTUAL arcade stick configurations (Attack, Jump and Action Button), makes the game WAY more technical and ALOT more execution heavy than simply using a DC controller. But there is some truth into you second assumption. Although special weapons CAN make a sizable portion to an impressive score, for me personally, it only accounts for half! Total reliance on increasing ones score in such a manner is leaving too much of your outcome to chance. Understanding the logistics of how money drops work, you own character's attributes and most importantly, proper stage selection and the unique characteristics each area in a level provides is key.
Congratulations CD, that is really impressive! I believe with Wang-Tang it would be difficult to get a higher score than that and it would reaquire luck in terms of items
Thank you DH!
I seriously wouldn't have achieved it without your consent to extend the competition and your own awesome score which I had to surpass.
The fact that you are aware of that fact shows me you truly have a good understanding about the game. Wang Tang is truly a fun character to play, but he ain't what he used to be in the first game. My hat goes off to you for your character loyalty (that is, if Tang was also your point character in the first game).
Thanks for everyone who participated! it was fun playing as a group, a game i consider one of the crown jewels in the Dreamcast library.
