SuperSoaker360 - 1,054,640 - ShmupMAME 2.2


Quick run today. Perfect run to Stage 3 until I picked up Hunter Seeker which resulted in a swift series of deaths for a Game Over.

Actually a pretty good game, enjoying it much more with "CRAZY MISSLE!" So far I prefer the blue bomb for bosses; haven't needed it too much for stages yet. The hit box feels more "forward" than I'm used to... been clipped on the nose a few times.

[Eaglet]

CRAZY MISSLE!

So i was not the only one who heard that!

Btw, wtf is up with the "It's tooooooo big!" whenever you pick up the extend?

[blackoak]

blackoak - 3,464,790 - 6 - MAME

Died on second form of last boss. Jettisoned two lives just before that... need to practice stage 6. Key for the clear, I think, will be getting to the final boss with fully powered missile, blue bomb, and 1-2 lives in stock.

It's too bad this game doesn't have temporary invulnerability when picking up items. I always die from getting a fast bullet in my face while trying to collect items.

got used to stages 1 and 2, stage-3 boss has a safe spot but its very tricky to use, 4 is just to hectic...

Actually a few others are like that too. It's because of the effects of RIVALs on your points. Because I'm losing to Ransom, I have 3 extra points outside of the ranking, which drops me even lower than I was before.

What are the requirements for getting the 1up? saw it for the 1st time today.

[RaidenViper]

Update...

RaidenViper - 1,375,260 - 4 - MameUI64 0.143u8

That green weapon must be some cruel joke. Lost both my remaining life in matter of seconds after I picked that one up.

[trap15]

trap15 - 1,299,940 - 3 - mame

Green weapon is great, if you know how to use it. Pose it well, and never use autofire. Hold shot.

There is a single 1up at 1.5 million.

[SuperSoaker360]

Let's see what you're made of, SuperSoaker360!

"Visual contact! Engaging enemy!"
"Show 'em what you've got.
"Roger!"

SuperSoaker360 - 1,541,970 - 4 - ShmupMAME 2.2

Green weapon is great, if you know how to use it.

Stop spreading your misleading tips to throw off your rival. You aren't fooling anyone.

EDIT: Welp, I stand corrected. I turned off auto-fire and gave it a try. The results were A LOT better than I thought.

[Erppo]

Yeah, you get something that's like a normal weapon but with worse power and narrower shot!

[CptRansom]

Stop spreading your misleading tips to throw off your rival.

I ain't scurred.

[RaidenViper]

The green weapon is not that bad after all...
But missiles are still the best IMO.

Another update:

RaidenViper - 1,727,700 - 4 - MAME

Stage 4 boss has some crazy fast bullet patterns...

Improving, i´m getting the handle on stage 2 boss and reach stage 3 quite consistently.

• Each week, if you manage to defeat your RIVAL then they will gain THREE points

is this not a contradiction?

[trap15]

No? I gained 3 points because Ransom is currently defeating me. Thus I am lower in the standings than my score would put me.

[1up]

1up - 447,990 - 2 - MAME

managed to get a perfect in stage 1 but this game is really busting my balls. It feels like the hitbox is the size of australia...

no, i wasn't reading they.. .. my bad

[n0rtygames]

Haven't really had the time to put in to this yet.. I'm not sure what's more intimidating. The enemies, or accidentally acquiring the hunter seeker when you've got missiles already..

[blackoak]

blackoak - 6,258,950 - ALL - MAME

Really not that bad of a clear. I think I can do it with more lives too, just need to stop choking on the st4 boss. I barely got this one as it was--I died on the first form of the last boss with 2 bombs in stock... but with missiles, the second form can mostly be dodged without needing to bomb.

I guess I'll start doing recorded runs and see if I can beat it with 2-3 lives in stock... also, didn't get PERFECT for any stages. :\
