Kona's Arcade Facts #1: Counterstop
"kona whats a counterstop"
:D im glad you asked :blob_rainbow: (no, really! 
)
some arcade style games (either through/by their design or by accident) have exploits or glitches that allow for obtaining a theoretically infinite ammount of score. A counterstop run is where the player seeks to score until the score counter overflows or stops counting (very often the later). Its a very dedicated type of challenge that often requires patience and high amounts of repitition as well as knowledge of certain strategies or glitches to do.
Kona's Arcade Fun Facts #2: "Superplayers"
Which brings me to my second term: "superplayer"
"Konab Konab! You call yourself a superplayer! what does that mean?"
Ok! Will explain as well as I can!!
～( 'ω'～)
A superplayer is kinda like those rlly skilled speedrunners but instead of speedruns they're really good at scoring really high in one or a few games. They tend to be very dedicated to the game(s) they've chosen and tend to hone strategies and routes down for the rest of us or even get asked by arcade game companies to send in runs to distribute as dvds or tapes! (A bunch are on YouTube!!!). However, this comes at a cost as playing these games can become a very draining grind and as some Japanese world record holders for STGs have said: "The game will eventually no longer be fun."
"Wait but you jump around games, and hold no known world records!"
Yes thats correct! I use the term very very loosely. I have the dedication of one but not the skill! I have been called a superplayer before in the context of games on mobile devices which I have near top leaderboard entries in! So I use the title loosely.
