Back from the Stunfest, and I gotta say, it was lots of fun! The superplays were impressive, the stand and cabs were varied, and it was such a blast seeing you guys again.

So many cool moments :
-The crowd cheering for Gus' Sunday Mushi Futari Ultra run
-The sudden Junko spellcard race on all three Touhou PCs
-Bullet Soul IB and all the associated laughter
-Jaimers beating DDP Hibachi
-Paint Cherry Blossom
-All the discussions with the other players, even in the middle of the night lmao.
-And probably lots of other stuff I've forgotten.

Also, thanks to the staff for making this possible, and let's enjoy ourselves again next year!

Pillow Talk

By far the best Stufnest ever. Mainly down to Yom's tireless work. He put on a great selection of games. At any one time there were about 3 or 4 games I was actually interested in playing (for once). Yom was rushing around making sure that everything was running smoothly and even managed to put up a Dariusburst OSX ALL with Assault in amongst all of this!

Jaimers managed to display a DDP Hibachi ALL, as M.Knight has mentioned. Jaimers also ALLed Sonic Wings Limited together with Plasmo. I only had 2 credits on it, but nearly managed the ALL of my 2nd credit. A really good score attack 1 loop game.
Palgork's Nex Machina Concert Run was a religious experience, mainly because of the music. I'll be buying it on Steam.
The Blue Revolver and Touhou 13 Ten Desires runs were great.

I stood behind Gus watching him practice 1.01 on Saturday evening. So I knew his run was gonna be the sickest thing ever, and it was. Cushioned by his success on Friday evening, he went on to put in the most insane run I've ever "scene" by any player. Bravo!

Plasmo went P.H.D on Pink Sweets. He's now up to a level where the whole MAX RANK run has to go with no unintended deaths. Just a couple of top of the screen suicides at the end of ST6 to keep his chain on those impossible sections, and some lives left over for the final stage. A run that lasts for 1 hour and a half with absolutely no mistakes and max milking. HIGHLY stressful and impressive. He managed an end ST6 'D' SCOAR in front of me and Malo.

Malo and I played a fair bit of Pork MANPUKU, 1.01 and MATSURI Modes.

As for me, I knocked up some medium-range W and X Alls on DariusBurst.

Plus All'd Pork's Matsuri mode on my first credit, despite being a few month's rusty.
Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius was fun to play on cab, but it got a bit frustrating on the later levels. If I can figure some tactics or watch some replays, its a game I'd like to attack for a bit.

I kinda like this shot: https://imgur.com/qR15AdQ

Plus you haven't had a full Stufnest experience until you spend the Monday morning after hurling into the bowl after 4 too many Gouden Draks.

Wow. I'll have to get over there one of these days. It looked like an amazing time.

That 1.01 run by Gus is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen as it happened. I don't know how he brought that back. He seemed pretty shell-shocked afterwards but I can't imagine the concentration and stress of doing that live on stage.

Thanks for letting us showcase in the shmup area, that was great! It was awesome between all those superplayers.

I took some time to watch the performances of Gus and Plasmo on stage, they were amazing! A fun moment was when I was coming back from upstairs, seeing everyone looking at one cab in the middle. That was Jaimers clearing out Hibachi :D

Hibachi clear by Jaimers at Stunfest

Palgork held the record at around 24 Millions on Pawarumi, in Normal mode. But only one player cleared the game, didn't catch his name or nickname though. I have very bad social skills around new people >_<

Anyway, I hope I'll come back next year but more casually so that I can enjoy more of Stunfest. It's a very cool event!

Great to see that captured. Fantastic stuff from Jaimers! It looked to be a certainty until that last life and then it suddenly got very very tight. Amazing clear.
