Title: ACU AZU is Japan's first 1.1M+ player!
Post by: xelnia on May 15, 2018, 02:30:42 am
On May 6th, 2018 DKK member ACU AZU scored 1,113,300 on Donkey Kong at the Daytona III game center in Kawaguchi, Japan. He used an original TKG4-14 PCB in a candy cab and took just shy of 3 hours to achieve his mark. Other members of DKK (Donkey Kong Kenkyū-kai) include ASN Esperle (https://twitter.com/esperle), Rukako Hishimiya (https://www.twitch.tv/rukakohishimiya), and DKK-Okinawa (https://www.twitch.tv/okinawa2)...a group of fantastic players that Wes and I had the privilege of meeting last year. Okinawa-san saved us (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/217660553) by scoring 1M last December, thus continuing the streak of a new 1M player every year since 2008 (http://kongtrackr.herokuapp.com/#/timeline/million). AZU-san's 1.1M is the first of 2018 and continues the streak of a new 1.1M player every year since 2010 (http://kongtrackr.herokuapp.com/#/timeline/millionhundred).
I have verified AZU-san's score and updated the HSL (https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=366.0) accordingly. You can see the entire video of his gameplay below and the usual stats are attached.
A couple interesting notes:
-AZU-san now has the #11 all-time cross-platform score, and the #10 all-time arcade score. If the last barrel had steered on the killscreen, he would have passed Thomas Bauer by 100 points and made the cross-platform top 10!
-Steve Wiltshire is now out of the top 10 arcade scores, and Jeff Willms is out of the top 12 arcade scores.
-With AZU-san now officially on the DKF leaderboards, it will take a score of 697,600 to crack the top 100. Unofficially (read: kongtrac.kr), it would take a score of 816,700!
I would like to congratulate AZU-san on his fantastic score, and I can't wait to see what comes next!

Congrats on being Japan's first official 1.1m player :)

Wow, this is very cool. 1.1 million is definitely a big way to make your entrance in the top 100. By the way, the 697,600. One more person knocks his official high score out of the top 100 (yes, I know he has an unofficial higher score) I am hoping that either AZU, or Okinawa make it to the Kong Off next year. That would be really cool to see.
