I am going to make this game my bitch.

How high can the input lag be during slowdown?

[Tigershark]

Difficulty should be set to Normal.
I was just told that ShmupMAME 4.2 does NOT default to Normal, so PLEASE double-check.

And version 2.2 which is what I am using.

I can't use the current version as autofire doesn't seem to want to work on it.

[Nifty]

Nifty - 2,165,300 - 2-2 - 1P - MAME Plus!

Would've been 2-3 but for having a powerup change at the last moment

Died on 2-2, lost remaining lives trying to recover. Old games are hard.

Squire Grooktook - 691,500 - 1-5 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2

Stages 1-4 are pretty trivial but 5 has some nasty stuff and seems completely merciless if you have to recover. Will probably need a plan for that one.

iMauroPB - 992,600 - 1-6 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2



I can't believe that i died on Stage 5 Boss, that boss is easier than Stage 4 Boss IMO.

I'll be happy if I can reach the technical bonus (900k) before the end of the week, but I'm not sure I have the patience for that.

[ColonelFatso]

ColonelFatso - 931,800 - 1-6 - 1P - ShmupMAME 4.2

I keep making incredibly dumb mistakes at inopportune times. Should hit 2-1 or 2 by the end of the week, but I doubt I'm going any further than that.

PlatinumHawke - 272,000 - 1-3 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2

I'm reminded of when I was grinding out V-V, except much worse.

[Squire Grooktook]

Squire Grooktook - 2,019,800 - 2-1 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2

Nearly fucked everything up when I died on the last stage, and then picked up a green weapon by accident. Managed to recover though. Dodged succesfully during last boss fight due to an epiphany on the previous credit that the hitbox of your ship extends to the very bottom.

It was nice to catch a glimpse of the last boss on that last run...

[gimebe]

gimebe - 2,300,500 - 2-3 - 1P - Shmupmame v2.2

First run where I tried to abuse the glitch. I bombed so much on Stage 6 I lost it by using enough of them to fall below 9. The game was already horrifying, and it only got worse.

[Perikles]

Perikles - 2,402,900 - 2-3 - 1P - shmupMAME 4.2

Thanks a million for your advice, gimebe! Not that it helped me; I died against the boss of 2-2 with something like 12 bombs in stocks. I think I'm done with this nonsense.

It's a start.

[18:37] <JPS> died on the 2-3 boss :<<<
[18:38] <JPS> recovery is impossible so 2-4 game over

[CptRansom]

CptRansom - 954,100 - 1-6 - 1P - MAME

Beat the 1-5 boss and then lost my last life on literally the first enemy in 1-6. Just dove right into me and I wasn't paying attention. Good job, me.
