ACU AZU is Japan's first 1.1M+ player!
« 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, Rukako Hishimiya, and DKK-Okinawa...a group of fantastic players that Wes and I had the privilege of meeting last year. Okinawa-san saved us by scoring 1M last December, thus continuing the streak of a new 1M player every year since 2008. AZU-san's 1.1M is the first of 2018 and continues the streak of a new 1.1M player every year since 2010.

I have verified AZU-san's score and updated the HSL 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!

Definitely want to sit down and watch this one through.

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

Kongrats AZU-san!   Great job!   Kreygasm

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.
