No des, 1 and 2 are not options.
There are all two part of the same idea and score system for this game.
BTW is only my idea!
I never played this game in all my life!

Hehe, yes you are right.

Proposal is:

Stop the score when you enter the final boss area. For defeat final boss is special bonus 100k (100k is example here). Then final score is:
If you didn't defeat final boss:
score = score when you enter to the final boss area
If you defeat final boss:
score = score when you enter to the final boss area + 100k

For me this is the best rule and we can apply it

Ok with me if it gets rid of leeching, bit worky though.
We would need someone being able to playback old inps and tell us the scores according to new rules, any can-doers here?
Also, is 100k a good finishing bonus?

ok i watched it again this morning
and to me it seems like a clear cut case of leeching.
.inp size is 13,000kb
caught some screen shots
watched at 1000% w/sound.
frameskip 8
spends at least half the game on final boss when he could have defeaded it w/bombs Xevious style all ships used on boss a dozen or so 100,000 score ?
i would seriously consider a vote in order to decide wether to disqualify or not.

I watched it, it certainly is dangerous leeching. It could be that the leeching is not unlimited as well. It seems the player died by fire each time while leeching at the boss, but if the boss gets to the bottom of the screen and the player dies anyway this would be 100% legal. However if the boss continues to scroll at the top of the screen the leeching would be in question. Since the player died once right before the boss would scroll it's hard to determine. But my guess is that the leeching here is ok because there's not a way to do it unlimitedly even though you can do a lot of it.

Well, lifes are not infinite (like I believed before) but it's a pity this game have such a final, because it's a nice game
