Submission Message
This is replacing my current 3rd place score, which was submitted under the old TG. Upped my score by about 500k, and I want this in my list of current records.

I got foolish, and started testing whether the longer rounds with maximum point pressing is more time-effective, or whether shorter rounds with higher-point moves but without additional point pressing is better. Unfortunately, the paradigm shift threw me off my game.

Thanks for watching!

Chris I'll watch this at home later, but nice improvement on your previous record! I respect an improvement that's not just to get another place on the leaderboard.

Funny you should submit this, I've just recently been trying to do the same here!
I remember from years back my full point-press running at a little over 9k/minute, which is roughly what you've got, but I've tried sprinting through rounds lately.

Frustrating game... you can be in a good rhythm for ages, but all it takes is the slightest lapse and there's no recovery, especially against Coco!

Agreed, Coco is the worst. The technique I was using is pretty much the best I've come up with to wear him out quickly, and get out before he has any chance to turn the tables. Any flaws in execution or deviation, and well, we know what happens.

It seemed like I was getting a ridiculous frequency of Coco's for the first half of my game, after clearing the first appearance of Golden Hulk. Then again, I know I've had games where I was celebrating a significant absence of Coco through 10 or 20 rounds.

It also seemed like I was getting a lot of second chances, but then again, maybe I was just playing better than usual today and taking advantage of openings the AI would allow when exploiting my *****-ups. :)
