trap15 - 5027650 - Stage D - ST-V

P2 side.

Got owned near the end of the boss, it's too scary and P2's red bomb is too shitty, I think I dumped 3 bombs on it out of fear and it barely helped. By the way, your score entry stuff should include the player side I think.

Everything the P2 tank has is shitty compared to P1, far as I can tell. Maybe the yo-yo is more effective in certain situations due to it returning faster, but that's about it.

I like Red's normal shot better due to the extra range, and Green's constant bouncing is more useful than it being stuck out in front of you forever like P1. Yellow's changing of the secondary lasers to fixed-direction makes it a bit shitty, Purple's puffs being wide is extremely awful, and and Blue's slight extra spread is basically pointless. The bombs seem mostly worse overall though, which is a shame.

I'll probably go back to P1, but I really do like Red and Green on P2 a good bit.

Replay, from stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApVvnV267qI

Really coming along, this run was my first time into Stage E and Stage F, so I had no idea what I was doing pretty much. E seems not-awful to do well aside from some cheap stuff and the fairly-hard boss, F I have no idea because I barely saw it.

Will probably stick with P1, the extra damage for P1's red and P1's better bombs are really worth it, even if it makes my runs a bit less consistent.

Removed player sides, because seriously, what do you have to be smoking to play as the P2 tank?

Nice job on the B boss. Another good replay all-around.

Wow I can't believe that happened, fuck. I had been thinking I've still got so many credits to go before I'll be capable of 1CC, but here we are. I think I want to keep playing still, I think if I just carry purple through to stage G I can get probably 11m easy. Thought out my route and there's no good reason I couldn't use purple through stage F, so might as well.

What a good game.

Did I seriously miss that just now? Goddammit >_>

It was the first run of the night! I'm pretty sure I couldn't follow it up, so I just ended it on that haha.

Anywho, keep it up Trap! Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks, me too I forgot that this game is a dream to play.

(replay coming soon)

At last, I'm done with this game. Was real good fun, just lots of places I was losing focus. Really jammed out some runs today and this was the result, quite happy with it.

Y'all gotta play this game more, for real.

[EmperorIng]

Good ending this time? =)

[trap15]

Yup, bad end would've put me in 10mil

Decided to check this out now that Shmupmame Sh-3 cut down the input lag & wow, this game is awesome! This run was my first time seeing the final boss & if you'll watch the replay, you might see the one drawback to playing it on this version. But I did get the good ending first try

[Kino]

Thread updated.

Also, that's one hell of a score for a first time clear. Keep it up!

Funny enough, I got those same visual glitches when I was testing out trap15's patch in MAME a while back. Gotta pay a toll for bringing it up to par with the Saturn's lag, I guess.
