Okay, so we're going to be playing DoDonPachi Resurrection (on Xbox 360 & PC), and focusing on
Normal 1.5 Score Attack mode for now. Not to be confused with Normal 1.51!

Ship and shot style is completely up to you. Whatever you feel most comfortable with! There are important differences between them all, so feel free to experiment and choose carefully!
You can find explanations of the various mechanics here and more advanced strategies here, for example.
The tournament is currently planned to go until (and including) the 30th of September, although I'm sure that can be extended if necessary.
I don't think we should demand any hard evidence of scores, the honor system should be good enough for our community. But screenshots and videos are more than welcome! And for those playing on emulator: Please don't cheat. No save sates or other external features.

Don't forget to post your score whenever you feel like you've crossed a threshold! I'll try to update this post with everybody's highscores as soon as possible. Needless to say, everybody else is graciously invited to join in!
