Dragon Blaze - 2-ALL 1CC (Quaid, 2.62mil)

Both loops of Dragon Blaze cleared in 1 credit with Quaid & Fire Dragon.
This run scores 2,624,000 points, which is a significant improvement over my last PB of 2.15mil. I've basically re-routed the entire game since then, incorporating a lot more scoring strats, plus most of the technical bonuses and coinheads that I skipped last time, making it a much more comprehensive showcase of the game.
This particular run was almost too good to be true. No miss into 2-7 and on course for a 3mil+ score, but I got super nervous and completely bottled 2-7. Absolute disaster. By the end my only thought was to just make it over the finish line. The last death is the most embarrassing but it actually made no difference to the final score.
Hopefully this upload will be obsoleted in the near future since I plan to continue grinding for 3mil, but for now, I wanted to upload it as a showcase of my current routes. The only major scoring mistakes (outside of the 2-7 calamity) were in 1-5 and 2-5, where I failed to get gold coins from the big eye midbosses. The rest of the run was executed pretty well. The new 1-7 bee strat (11:25) is my favourite new addition.

In my opinion it's one of the best shmups ever made, and after more than 3 years of on/off play, I'm still inspired to keep playing and improving.
