I couldn't see a damn thing I was doing.
Ed, I think people are using roll for big enemies that don't die easily to point-blanking, like those big tanks, and the large blue ships that spam red and blue shots. Roll also pierces through enemies, making enemies that appear in vertical lines easy to take care of (like those wide blue ships near the beginning).

<Despatche> you've been a thorn in the shmups community since the beginning, you're largely responsible for the horrible face of modern speedrunning

If it's any consolation, I was where you were a few days ago, and I've barely played since then. I've had some pretty big breakthroughs since then, and so will you.Minzoku wrote:This game sucks! :x I couldn't see a damn thing I was doing.

I know I'm losing some points (a lot actually) when I blast them with a bomb or whatever, but sometimes I can point-blank them pretty quick with the autofire. The larger flying enemies at the end of the mission are what cause me troubles. Anyhow, thanks for the reply :)mikwuyma wrote:Ed, I think people are using roll for big enemies that don't die easily to point-blanking, like those big tanks, and the large blue ships that spam red and blue shots.

I suppose I could try out roll...it wouldn't hurt to remap the autofire toggle, which I'm already using so that the mode select works consistently with autofire (i.e. temporarily disabling it).

Nothing quite like sweaty palms to ruin a good scoring run.
Icarus - namakoteam - 2,156,018 - C - Bomb - 4 - MAME
Died a few times at the end as my hands slipped off the pad, otherwise this would have been a 2.2mil score.
I'm conceding defeat this week. Do your worst, SiK (you arrogant, egotistical gimp).
WolfMAME 0.99 input recorded.
I'm posting the rest of my team's scores tomorrow.

Ed, bomb also works (the sub-weapon, not the full screen one), but you have to learn where enemy positions are, and place the bomb in advance. Since you're pressed for time, I suggest using roll. And what Ruldra said is correct, it's faster to charge up roll for a split second against big enemies, than to spend the time point blanking them.

Because I am thoroughly done playing this game for a long time, I'm going to post my final score plus my teammates' scores. They may decimate their old scores in the time allotted (bkk, Davey, and MR_Soren have gone apeshit with improvements this week) but I'll go nuts if I keep playing this game. Here goes:
=============================================
bkk - letsdestroystgt08 - 1,720,072 - C - Bomb - 4 - MAME
Davey - letsdestroystgt08 - 1,672,195 - C - Roll - 4 - MAME
crithit5000 - letsdestroystgt08 - 1,443,835 - C - Roll - 4 - MAME
MR_Soren - letsdestroystgt08 - 1,358,184 - C - Bomb - 4 - MAME
KNTain - letsdestroystgt08 - 1,016,642 - C - Roll - 4 - MAME
=============================================
I have no clue as to who's still playing or not, I just wanted to make sure the scores that I do have available are posted.
