Bell juggling the opening clouds without autofire was really really annoying.
You can't really change them fast enough, so you end up with this mess of bells just bouncing around way too long.

Note to self: either compile a version of SDLMame with autofire, or figure out what each setting corresponds to in Hz and program up an autofire circuit.

psssst, let me brag about my red/pink bells skills!

I felt so gay. Only red and pink, yeah.

And for the sidearms, I had a flame-thrower at one hand, and a mega-bomb at the other hand. Deadly combination

I'd prefer to make as much points as I could earlier, so maxing out power ups for me would mean that points I could get earlier were lost to try to get more points later, that I would miss anyway.

Though I had been 1-lifing the game up until level 4, so changing the tactics would make sense.

Well, whatever. It's all gone now.

You do realize that they change every 5 shots, right?

cuz yeah that makes it so much easier

I also juggle bells opportunistically lol

I just shoot them and hope they change colors, then I grab 'em.

Works pretty well if you're cautious enough to only hit the gold bells.

MAMEplus etc autofire rate = [game refresh] / [setting+1] hz.
eg: 60 hz / (3+1) = 15 hz.

Ah, yeah I forgot to ask you for the correct amount.

Offcourse I'll edit it, as you just mistyped your score.

@Shatterhand:
Thanks for the offer, I already have a Exel file which I use for the calculation of the scores. But sorting out the best 3 players manually and summarizing their points for the team scores manually is taking to long.
I could probably enhance it a bit by myself. But I don't know how to tell Excel to choose the best 3 scores from each team? I have an extra culumn for the Team, offcourse. I'll send you the file after I finished the rest of the rankings.

Post by **Shatterhand** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 2:07 pm

Surely, send it to me, I'll take a look on what I can do. Would you like a little program to do all the hard work to you? An .EXE program, I can't do this in HTML, PHP or anything web-based.

You highlight everything, go to data -> sort.
Sort ascending/descending (doesn't matter in this case I think) by the team column.
That should group all the scores together by team.
They should be in order from top score to worst score per team if you already have the scores in order.

Goddamn, I don't think we are in such a confortable situation against oldschoolers as I first thought after seeing the final scores chart. It's going to be close.
Indeed.

You're ahead of me by four places, I'm ahead of coffeejoerx by five places, Turrican is ahead of coffeejoerx by three places, and both teams' third placers are on top of each other.

...

Ew.

And only now I noticed

Both teams foruth placers are alson on top of each other, heh

I have been doing it this way until now, but with a list that big I'd rather have an application taking care of that and automatically calculate the teampoints for each player.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 3:17 pm

Well, it should be pretty fast now that you've got the tiers and corresponding point values sorted out.

Apparently there is no Michael in 3 or 4. IIRC in 5 he is just before the Knight boss, on a pillar in the centre of the screen (you must use ground bombs/charge bomb to reveal him). It's just where there's two rows of ground enemies vertically either side of the screen. Maybe someone could oblige with a screen?

It can be done quickly if I import the Excel file into SQL Server.

I use SQL a lot at work, so I suffer from "When All You Have is a Hammer..." syndrome.

Seriously, though, the offer's on the table. But if you work out a good way to do it yourself in Excel, that's cool too.
