Played 1941 Counter Attack, trying to cut down how many credits I need to complete. I can do stage 1 (out of 7) on a single credit and like half of stage 2. But I still need about 10 credits total to beat it (down from like 15 though). I can definitely get it lower but no idea how much lower and since I don't play arcade shmups (or if I do it's home ports with set difficulties) I'm not really sure where I wanna' set my goal for it.
If I play more arcade shmups I might just set some limit of like 6 playthroughs of going all the way through, credit-feeding as needed, and seeing how much I can lower it by the end of the 6 plays. Most are 20-30 minutes long so that's like almost 3 hours of playtime and it'd be interesting to keep track of it all kinda' like how Jrose11 does his Pokemon solo speedruns.
That’s a pretty fun method, I’ll have to try that some time! I usually just see how many it takes to clear once and then set my limit to be one below that until it isn’t fun any more.
