So after the launch party and utterly CHOKING after putting up 51 million in the qualifier and getting 4th of 4th in the finals with 8 million, I was looking at a chance for redemption. Went back to the arcade tonight and played a few games...started off goofy, wasn't really doing so hot, then my last two games, it exploded.
55 million on one game, popped the free replay on it, fired it up again, and got my name up on their scoreboard (Which will probably be reset tonight...argh...) with a 68 million score. #3 on the machine.
I could totally kick myself in the face for epic failing the tournament and not winning that translite, but at least it's good to know the skills are legit and not a total fluke. I watched a LOT of games on this machine, and yeah yeah, I know it's new, but still feels good to see a lot of people putting up 10-20 millions and blowing it out of the water.
That aside, do the machines in your area have almost no tilt sensor on them? This arcade seems to do that with all their machines, so there was some pretty heavy bumping going on, got the warning twice but never tilted. *shrug*
