Sandlegs, I hear you. I hate every single Psikyo shump before Dragon Blaze.
That said, stupid game.

You should have figured out how to deal with this thing since Varth.

Some minor improvement... just gotta clear up some stupid mistakes and work on level 8.

It seems like it's random, I put a savestate at the beginning of the stage and tried different positions but I couldn't find any pattern to it. Hopefully I'm wrong thoughmoozooh wrote:IIRC it depends on which side of the screen you stay on just before it appears.

Scoreboard updated.
I'll do more frequent updating from Thursday on.

Well how about that, nearly 100K more than my play immediately previous. Lost two lives at Iron Casket (came up 1-4 this time) but managed to hang in a while longer.
First time seeing 1-5
Oddly, I have been using rank control on the game right along but it was still pretty hard for whatever reason, probably not using bomb / charge shot enough.
I have to say, when this game 'clicks' it's a lot more fun.

I don't remember the loop having quite so many suicide bullets.

I don't think I was signed up for this week, but I got a chance to play. I don't know if it matters.

I've never been good at Psikyo games, but they're quite fun when I'm not playing the PS1 versions.

Is playing the PS2 version on normal ok? There is no arcade difficulty.
Re: STGT'09 Week 4 - Strikers 1945 II
It indeed is random. Side positioning was important for Strikers 45 and Strikers 99 midbosses, in II it's completely random.toby wrote:It seems like it's random, I put a savestate at the beginning of the stage and tried different positions but I couldn't find any pattern to it.

Re: STGT'09 Week 4 - Strikers 1945 II
so what's this rank control shit, just powering down? does it change instantly, or stage by stage? is this present in all the other psikyo games, but i just never notice?

This was one of the first shooters I played some more than the others. Although I did not remember all safe spots etc, It was a bit rewarding to see that the enemy attacks I thought was extermely difficult back then, were not as challenging anymore. Either I've become a better player, my memory is failing me, or the original is more difficult than arcade. I hope it's alternative #1.

Re: STGT'09 Week 4 - Strikers 1945 II
lol at my ship. I used a lot of bombs in places I usually don't, and reached the 7th boss (where my runs end) with a way lower score than usual. But the ship is so strong the boss died before he got too dangerous and broke my previous record in the process. This was supposed to be a joke run.

Dude, the mosquito rocks! Although I'm sure most people hate it, because its speed is as bad as its power is good.Ruldra wrote:lol at my ship.
