STGT'10 Week 3: Mars Matrix

[njiska]

Njiska - Underdogs - 337,360,810 - 19,859 - 2 - Mosquito 1 - MAME

[Aru-san]

Aru-san - Team Loser - 19,686,189,680 - 3 - Mosquito 2 - Lagless MAME

This could've been one of my best runs...too bad I screwed up a lot, especially on stage 2. This is the first time I managed to get around 200K EXP on stage 2, though. Also one of my best stage 1 runs so far.

[Aleanil]

Aleanil - Team Lower Quartile - 15,718,306,830 - 194,387 - 3 - Mosquito 2 - PCB

Finally a game I can enjoy! Still suck at it, but I have more hours logged on Mars Matrix than any other shmup.

[SFKhoa]

k you know what, fuck it. I'm done.

Or not. It turns out I had to speed-kill the final boss rather than try to milk it w/ piercing cannon. Time Bonus is pretty huge. Also, I actually managed to full-chain Stage 3, which is next to fucking impossible on an everyday run.

Doin' good. I just need to get to the friggin' midboss with these tactics now.

MR_Soren - Let's Destroy STGT '10 - 3,868,124,080 - 89,950 - 3 - Mosquito 2 - MAME

Got into the (low) billions, so I can feel like i'm playing the same game as everybody else now. Getting a lot better at scoring, but I still find myself dying really fast and quite frequently most of the time. Managed to have one decent run that really trumps my score from yesterday. The week is young, I think I still have a lot of room to improve if I can keep squeezing in some play time.

I'm actually really liking this game. I've played it in the past but never cared for it much. Watching the score fly up when doing well is always fun.

[ED-057]

A crap-ton of restarts yielded some more improvement...

ED-057 - Team Oldschoolers - 17,756,774,640 - 221,024 - 4 - Mosquito 2 - Lagless MAME

[NTSC-J]

Don't really have the time (nor the patience) to learn any chains this week so this is as good as I'm gonna do:

NTSC-J - Shooting Snobs - 29,141,280,140 - 382,746 - 4 - Mosquito 2 - MAME

Excellent game i just suck fat dicks at scoring in it .

[javel]

Javel - Team Sweden - 235,712,288,730 - 1,173,004 - ALL - Mosquito 2 - MAME

1LC to the final boss, but just barely managed the clear. Very hard.

This score won't get me anywhere, but I think I'm done for the week. I'm getting sick of the first two stages and not being able to chain anything in the whole game.

[Sasupoika]

Sasupoika - INFINITE FLAMINGOES - 62,634,804,890 - 800,539 - 4 - Mosquito 2 - MAME

More progress. I had stupid deaths at the stage 4 boss...

[MX7]

MX7 - Team Casino Royale - 7,879,663,640 - 110,333 - 3 - Mosquito 2 - MAME

Was going to wait until I got 10bill (i.e three red digits), but this is alright.

[Sasupoika]

Sasupoika - INFINITE FLAMINGOES - 72,570,942,300 - 877,796 - 4 - Mosquito 2 - MAME

I really need to kill that stage 4 boss.

TrevHead (TVR) - League of Generally Nice People - 1,643,751,620 - 46,796 - 2 - Mosquito 2 - Laggless MAME

I had a couple of goes today and i must say im liking this game now im beginning to get a feel for using my weapons and not feeding it credits faster then a 40st fat guy can eat sausage rolls at an all you can eat finger buffet

[Herr Schatten]

Herr Schatten - Team Oldschoolers - 1,424,211,690 - 41,658 - 2 - Mosquito 2 - MAME

Ugliest game ever. I wish I knew what the hell I'm doing.

[Battletoad]

Ugliest game ever.

Uglier than Strikers II?

[clp]

Ugliest game ever.

Uglier than Strikers II?

easily , strikers 1945 2 isnt that ugly the bosses are stunning sprites .

[Battletoad]

Yay I also don´t find it that bad, but Herr Schatten sure does.
Mars Matrix´ graphics (especially the backgrounds) really suck, the only thing I like is how your ship grows when leveling up.

[moozooh]

This game is fucking hard.

moozooh — Team Hard Gay — 16,192,627,650 — 255,002 — 3 — Mosquito-2 — Lagless MAME

Worst case of restartitis since RFJ, too. But otherwise I'm having a lot of fun with it!
