If you let people cheat at something like videogames then the little degenerates will just keep cheating their way through life. Unitil they fuck up and a huge black man robs and murders them. By caring about cheating we are helping lower the crime rate in the world.

Beating your teammates ftw. Thing I hate:

-having my score hinge on the 3rd boss, which can screw you over if it feels like it (see spores bounce left and right!)

I can't wait until I replace this with Disgaea 2.

Two words: their problem

Thing I hate:

Thing I hate: real life (eg: wife) preventing me from playing this more than 45 minutes a day. It's been fun though. I beat my previous score, although I think w/ some more time I would've gotten a nice all (I never carried one full chain past the worm on stage 4). Oh, well. The PCB goes in a box, in a container tomorrow. The rest, as they say, is history.

Cheers to everyone.

Chain goes down again, score goes up again. You crazy game.

6 hours left, is it? (nm, looks like 5)

Last entry...

The Coop - Team Old Schoolers - 6,469,759 - Stage 6 - Kosame - 7,558 (MAME)

My chain just nudged into the eight thousand range (I believe it was 8,02X), but for whatever reason, it only registered as the above at the end. I actually didn't die at the very beginning of stage 6 this time. I made it to where the screen starts scrolling to the right, and all those fan girls start appearing. I got wasted very quickly there, but the end result was a better score.

Not a bad game. If you stay away from score-centric playing, it's actually pretty easy. Its toughness get added when you're going out of way to try and up the chain and everything.

Anyway, here's hoping TOS keeps its fourth place spot

I'm posting my latest crap score as it may gain me one spot on the board.

ED-057 - Team Old Schoolers - 1,726,461 - 4 - Gensuke - 2,850 - (MAME)

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 9:11 am

Hehehe, that's the spirit DJI. It's Great fun competing with a rival.

Unfortunatelly I have bad news for you, I got a better score once again.

Edge - Team Germany - 4'729'637 - 5 - Shishin - 7'753 (MAME)

Things are looking good for me. But it isn't over yet, isn't it?

Could have finished it and beaten MMM, but that will be for the next time.

zakk · Post by **zakk** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 10:19 am

Zakk - Team Cowboy - 7,423,437 - Stage 5 - Shishin - 10895 (actual was 11495)

Managed to no-miss up to the first food, and then didn't lose the chain before the boss (I had way too many runs where I flubbed the stupid transition to the 3rd boss and dropped 8k+ chains). I took a few hits in the last half of stage 3, and ultimately died after the first milk cycle of the boss. Kept the 5k or so chain tho.

I died at the worm JUST BEFORE it died and dropped the food. When I respawned my shot touched it and it died. Grr.

I lost my chain before the 4th boss because I wasn't paying attention and my shiki actually wasn't ON the boss, it was in front of it. LOL@ME

I think I'm done for the week. I went into today with an unposted 5.21M score, and was just hoping to beat the 5.2M scores in front of me. Ended up doing quite a bit more than that.

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 10:34 am

And another update:

Edge - Team Germany - 6'439'318 - 5 - Shishin - 11'681 (MAME)

Finally could got the food item bonus and kept the chain into stage 4.

This game was difficult to get into in the first day, but since friday I started to get addicted to it, will probably continue to play it after the STGT is over.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 10:36 am

I think I've played more Guwange today than any game all year. Hands = pain.

Just over an hour left then?

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 10:37 am

yep roughly one and half a hour left.

I guess I give it one more shot.

Urgh. Obstacles in a vert? C'mon.

Ghegs - Team Skandinavia - 963,743 - 4 - Kosame - 389 (MAME)

I think that's the score, anyway.

I'm never playing this game again.

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 12:02 pm

Week is over, no more scores.

I will post this week's and the final results in the next days. I know you are all curious at the final rankings, but I will be busy the next 2 days. I'll try to post them as soon as possible.

BTW: Anyone of you guys have gotten the Guwange-vision. You know, when you close your eyes you still see some bulletformations turning pink and then into coins.

Had this with several games. Mainly shmups and puzzlers tend to stay in my mind like this. Anyone of you experienced something similiar?

Nemo · Post by **Nemo** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 1:20 pm

Looks like only one player was able to metriculate to the ALL, haha, winners don't use drugs.

howmuchkeefe · Post by **howmuchkeefe** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 1:26 pm

The stage two boss sure likes to punish greed. *sigh* It would have been nice to carry a 4,000-4,500 chain into stage three and maintain it to the goody statue.

GJ to The Coop! Not a bad showing, and I bet you never played the game before this week.

GJ to coffeejoerx, too.

I'm glad I actually contributed to team performance this week! ...and that everyone on the team (IIRC) managed to do the same over the course of the competition.

mulletgeezer · Post by **mulletgeezer** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 1:35 pm

Yeah, that last form crushes most players though i'm slightly surprised we didn't see more ALLs. Yesterday i got the last form down to a few pixels while I had a bomb left - I know the bomb doesn't do damage but the extra few seconds of safety would've almost certainly seen me finish the game again. I chose death instead though, the 1 million point per bomb bonus is crucial and I needed at least 1 bomb left to beat my previous best but it didn't work out

Congratulations to Rob, getting that kind of score in just over a week is one of the best achievements of this whole tournament.

DJ Incompetent · Post by **DJ Incompetent** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 3:47 pm

Yep, your progress is simply insane. You crushed me like a frail kitten.
I can't stand up to you, man. Congratulations, Edge. You earned it.

Acid King, malcolm, & Kiken, thanks for doing the team thing this week.

..I can't believe I fell asleep in my chair..

Plus passion, study and efforts, I'd add. At least in the case of shmups.

Thanks DJ Incompetent.

But it was surely interesting to compete against you. It also gave me some additional motivation. Hope we'll be rivals next year too.

Thanks. I was so close to one final improvement. 14.5 million on the 6th boss first form, before the life refill/bomb. One bullet took out the remaining half unit of life, as they sometimes do. I can't believe I got hit there at all.

Looks like only one player was able to metriculate to the ALL, haha, winners don't use drugs.

I got to the last form's last form 3-4 times. That pattern is annoying as hell. Most games I would screw up score/chain-wise before I could see the 6th stage. Braggart.

The Coop · Post by **The Coop** » Mon Nov 06, 2006 6:58 pm

If I'm not mistaken... if my math is correct based on past competitions in this tournament... Team Old Schoolers held onto fourth for the overall results in this little tourny of ours by roughly 32 points. Way to go guys

And thanks howmuchkeefe. Nice job yourself

Great job to all members from Team Old Schoolers. This is my first participation in this competition and I liked very much. Thanks for Shatterhand for inviting me and all other members to accept me in the team.

Gensuke: Strongest Shikigami
Shishin: The bizarre range
Kosame: Uh... stronger shot?

Speeds all seem to be the same. I've not paid attention to Shikigami speed, which might be an issue.
Gensuke - strong semi-piercing Shot, slowest speed Shikigami with large clustered bombs, average movement speed

Shishin - variable sweeping Shot, average speed Shikigami with small clustered bombs, slowest movement speed

Kosame - weakest narrow rapid Shot, fastest Shikigami with small forward trail bombs, fastest movement speed

The difference in movement speed for both character and Shikigami isn't too great, but it is noticeable if you are used to a particular character and then make the switch. The majority of players use Kosame for her movement and Shiki speed, and her Shot is weak, allowing prolonged milking. Shishin holds a chain better due to the variable Shot movement which can catch more enemies in one sweep, while Gensuke can obliterate enemies and bosses.

Nope.
