I'm not sure really, though I was slightly supprised that 108 was possible myself; when I originally worked out the 2.0 tactic, I only ever seemed able to get 107, and I'm still not sure what I was doing that was "slow" back then... I've also never worked out exactly what causes the method to "go wrong" sometimes (is it if you enter the first fish too fast, or the second fish, or both? Does it matter at what exact spot you physically enter / touch the fish?) But because experimenting with Gulpo is such a frustrating trial and error affair, I've never bothered getting to the bottom of these things... :(
One thing I was curious about is, is there even another whole different method that could be used to get a 2.0 on him, a different sequence of fish that you could use? The known method is just the first one I happened to figure out, and I've not tried to look for any other methods beyond it (again because of the oh-so-time-consuming-and-frustrating factor)...

Well, I think the key to doing it is hitting the first fish the very SECOND it stops moving. It seems if I hit it at that point and dont do something dumb like pressing the wrong direction the 2.0 is assured.

Ah, I didn't realise it was well-documented - I still haven't bothered getting hold of any of those guides - and in that case it very probably is the only way.
In that case I've really no idea whether a better Gulpo score would be possible or not, but it did occur to me that a better Jackle time might be feasible when I was battling my way to a 104 score with him - when I actually got 104, I was surprised because my flight was still slightly swervy, and there was one point where I actually flew past Jackle and had to U-turn to grab him. It would be quite hard to get if it's even possible at all though, because as I said elsewhere, Jackle denied me a 104 at least fifteen times in a row while I fought my way up from a previous best of 102...
