Death Roulette: Loop 22

[pokemon123]

sorry just had too much homework that of course happened to fall two days consecutively when other days had been fine before and i got too tired to even do one credit.

[Blinge]

We'll meet again, someday soon.

[gimebe]

That was a hard game. No worries, at least in death I'll be free of the kusoge torment... at least until STGT rolls in.

[Heavy Viper]

Heavy Viper - Sengeki Striker (Japan) - P1 - St. 4 - 129,742,020



It looks nice enough, but it's just...not all that interesting, really.

[Blinge]

Learn to score it and you'll change your tune. That's why people were dropping like flies last STGT as I recall.

[Legendary Hoamaru]

Damn I'd have lived if I had Vulcan there lol. Lived in top right for like a minute.

Legendary Hoamaru - Sengeki Striker (Japan) - 1P - 2 Boss - 32,928,380 FAILED

[trap15]

Sengeki Striker = DA BEST

[EmperorIng]

You're crazy. Fuck it and fuck this game.

EmperorIng - st2 (FAIL) - xxx,xxx,xxx

[chum]

chum - Sengeki Striker (Japan) - 1P - 3 Boss - 68,255,730 Pass

[Eaglet]

Shitgeki Stinker is a thoroughly retarded game.
Such godawfully horrible design.

[pestro87]

lol yeah... no... Didn't even understand how you released the blast until I was on my last life. I used autofire as well, not sure if that was a good of a bad idea Better luck next time.

pestro87 - Sengeki Striker (Japan) - 1P - 2 - balls

[The Armchair General]

The Armchair General - Sengeki Striker - stage 3 - Autofire ON - pass

By far the hardest and most intense game in this tournement. I would have denfinetly lost if it wasn't for some epic dodges on the stage 1 and 2 bosses

A̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y̶ ̶r̶e̶t̶a̶r̶d̶e̶d̶

EDIT: Nah, it's not that bad . I just don't like how disorganized and messy the bullet patterns seem to be.

[trap15]

I really don't get how people hate Sengeki Striker. It's seriously like the coolest game ever made.

[Heavy Viper]

Well, judging by the font and Warashi's involvement, it's related to Shienryu, so it gets a pass in my book. :>

[EmperorIng]

The game feels half-finished, like they didn't have time to loke-test. You can still fire (and bomb) during the level results screen. Enemy bullets are disorganized (and imo poorly colored but maybe that's subjective) and the screen just belches bullets for you to use your small bomb stock. And of course the "have ships crash on to tanks to score" system... bleh. Maybe you'll have an extend or two on stage 1. Maybe you won't. Who knows in Warashi's Wild Ride.

Shienryu, while not the pinnacle of shmupping, is a work of art comparatively.

[Shepardus]

Damn, I think I should have used autofire on this. Also I'm not sure I actually understand how to play this game.

Shepardus - Sengeki Striker (Japan) - 2 - 18,862,210
(fail)

[Blinge]

Blinge FAIL

Video of Shame =[

Basically I thought riffing on the game a bit would prove entertaining.. and now there's egg on my face!
But I don't wanna make excuses, I played like ass.

I was pissed and had another credit straight afterwards, made it to ST3 that time

[copy-paster]

FAIL

Shit, I had some cheap deaths in second stage. Probably this run really want us dead.

[ProjectAKo]

DON'T run the Asia version of this and gameover on the first stage. Don't be like me.

[drunkninja24]

Fck, FAIL

literally within like 2 shots of killing the stage 2 boss too (continued just to see how close it was)

[Illyrian]

Illyrian - fail

This game fucking sucks.

Seriously, it does. I had forgotten because i hadn't played it for a year but it really is totally balls.

[KoopaTGR]

Mission failed

KoopaTGR - Sengeki Striker (Japan) - 61,321,280 - 2 (Boss)

I got up to the above boss with only a handful of bombs and got caught up in his claustrophobic patterns
If only I had gotten the extends sooner through the crazy scoring system! (kill big enemies and drop them onto ground enemies)

[cave hermit]

Died near the end of the stage 2 boss.

So this is the end...

Spoiler

Based YGW is my husbando, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green stage clear screens,
he leads me beside quiet stage 2s,
he bombs my flamingo trees.
He guides me through low rank credits
for his name’s sake.
Even though I fly
through stages with high ass rank,[a]
I will fear no gray oblong bullets,
for you are with me;
your Silver Sword and your special option formations,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of zakos.
You anoint my head with sticky napalm;
my bomb stock overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Based Lord YGW
forever.

There are known problems with this game

That fucking main shot sound.

Death's Refuge



cave hermit and gimiebe have not returned from the battlegrounds... May they find respite in Lord Yagawa's loving embrace.

We shall observe a moment of silence for our fallen comrads in...

Fifth Death March:

Spoiler

Vimana (Japan)

Benchmark: Reach Stage 2 Boss

A moment of respite after a rough couple of days on Sengeki Striker. I <3 Toaplan!

Also, KIA participants may continue to play and submit "ghost" scores if they like. You are out of the running for winning the tournament but it's still fun to play for the hell of it. Feel free to use your "death" avatar I made you as a consolation prize until the competition is finished!

There

No
Refuge

[Heavy Viper]

Heavy Viper - Vimana (Japan) - P1 - 29% - 184,250 (PASS!)



Don't think I've ever played this one, at least not at length. Still, it's a Toaplan game, so when I see the following, it's like:

This game lacks sound.

why live ;_______;

[STGAlmond]

STGAlmond - Vimana (Japan) - P1 - 19% - 120,600 (FAIL)




I'm not sure how far this was. I did see a couple large enemies, but there didn't seem to be a stage indicator. There was also no music, so no fanfare or boss music. I might be done or I just barely got by.


EDIT:
I found the score board shows 19%. I really don't know if that was far enough, but I get the feeling I failed.

[ACSeraph]

^That round thing up there in Heavy Viper's screen shot is the second boss. Did you make it that far? Maybe everyone add Pass/Fail to your submissions to make it clear for me.
