Raiden Fighters is an arcade shmup/STG released in 1996 by Seibu Kaihatsu, taking a spin on the very popular Raiden series from the early 90's. It is a more bullet heavy game and focuses more on extreme precision in its scoring systems rather than rote memorisation.
PearlASE uses the Slave ship (Judge Spear variant) to abuse the graze chaining mechanics to their fullest, while uncovering all worthwhile secrets in order to reach a total score of 75,319,350 points. For reference, the current unassisted record for this category was set by SOF-WTN in 2015, with a score of 56,192,730 points.
