First killscreens?? How long??

Sorry for wording the title like youtube clickbait/dyslexic but I was wondering just how long did it take you all to reach your first killscreen from picking up DK and playing semi seriously. So not like when you played a little as a kid?

Around a year and a half, including taking some months off during that time. I think I had 6 750k+ games before finally finishing it.

4 calendar months, with about a month off, due to power and machine issues. 20+ hours a week during that time.

Exactly 6 months to the day with one solid month off. I played a ton of games on my cab, bought a second cab for my girlfriend's house, and kill screened the new cab on my second or third quarter.

Around 6-7 months from a pb of 20k to a kill screen
Numerous breaks in between and was playing other stuff throughout. Doesn't take away from what a brutal grind it was to get there.
Multiple close calls as well. Best one was when I had a pb of 650k; had a 690k first man then Vincent came in and I bombed out at 750k. On that note, ban him, Mitch and
if you're streaming

Glad you qualified the trigger as semi seriously.
Bought my first DK cab in May 2015, KS in September 2015 - 919,000 on 9/19.
