Darius Gaiden - no death, no bomb, no autofire (route ABDGLQV)

... but I still get hit, thank god for shields. I'm pretty happy with this run though.

Played on Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade, Steam version with a controller.

Ended up being 10,030,840 points. If I wanted more points I would probably have to do more than just two midboss captures but these seem really hard, I just wanted a deathless and bombless run. In retrospect, the hardest part of this was Zone V itself (not the final boss), there's just so much crazy stuff on the screen happening that I lost way too many runs there. Not to say the boss is easy (and I almost beefed it in this attempt).

Congrats ! If you want to capture more captains I suggest you try to control rank by not picking extra red power-ups when you are full and avoiding to destroy extra boss parts (those are the two most important factors). As a general rule the captains all behave according to your position and movement, thus you can exploit this in order to do high dammageto the ball without dammaging the midboss too much ;)
