Came back to play DDP DOJ Black Label (怒首領蜂大往生 ブラックレーベル) mode since I've finished with all of the arranged modes for Switch. I posted a clear of this mode last year but the score was complete crap (106 Mil) so I'm updating it lol.
I'm still not really satisfied with this score since I botched a few chains but it's decent for me. From now on I will probably only be playing either white label or the 2 loop mode of black label.
This was played on the original PCB, which has way less lag than the Switch and feels a lot better.
Stage Listing:
00:00 - Stage 1
02:41 - Stage 2
05:51 - Stage 3
09:54 - Stage 4
14:17 - Stage 5
18:33 - Kouryu
20:33 - Hibachi
22:11 - Ending & Credits

A new PB in Gradius V after not playing it for over 10 years! And I reached Loop 6 Stage 7!
Stages:
0:00:00 - Loop 1
1:02:34 - Loop 2
2:04:55 - Loop 3
3:08:22 - Loop 4
4:10:16 - Loop 5
5:17:57 - Loop 6
In truth while I think the meme stage is kinda funny, I would be lying to say this run wasnt a disaster and disappointing.
I went into loop 5 with 17 lives (way more than Ive ever had before) and died like 20 times and almost threw the run entirely multiple times. The worst was in 5-7 with one of the dumbest most brain dead deaths Ive ever had against the Keepers Core. Managed to salvaged the run and get pretty deep into loop 6 before some more stupid deaths ended the run.
So yes, a new PB, but also a massive missed opportunity.")
