Score format: Player - Team - Score - Stage - Ship - Version

Remember about proper formatting, and about the spaces before and after the '-'! You don't need to insert commas into the score (though it won't hurt).

Again, if you keep to the formatting, it would be splendid. And a reminder, dynamic scoreboard is still very much up and running.

Have fun!

Good choice!

Yeah, or - Strikers 1945, + Gunbird.

Also lol, those guys who were sick of planes every week. Guess you can pick Miyamoto next week.

I didn't realize that all of the games were plane shooters. Works for me; my weekend ride of choice would be a FW-190.

[spadgy]

PS2 version OK? Although I think I have it on PS1 somewhere...

Fun little game.

LOLsecondloop. Yay for actually dodging shit in this game for the first time ever. Strikers 1 is better though.

Extend's at 600k, right? I'm pretty sure, because in every Psikyo game ever I can almost reach the extend but never do...except Gunbird 1...

Woulda got farther except I blundered into a bullet from the third boss. Whoops!

Gave up on autofire after that, gone back to tapping. Probably woulda beat the score except I started shaking (rargh).

[unsane]

I had been playing this game a lot before STGT and immediately noticed something wasn't right: the game wasn't fluid and the timing was different. I finally realized what's going on. Outside STGT i always play shmups with sound off and listen to mp3s, but for STGT i figured i should play with it on for the extra memorization help and performance boost. Only now did i find out that MAME with audio doesn't run at full speed on my comp. Thunder Dragon 2 is noticeably slower. Not so much RFJ and Varth, tho i'm unsure if i can't tell the difference because i've been intensely acclimated to Thunder Dragon 2 lately. So, evidently i was playing 1-3 weeks with MAME on semi-slow motion.

Been a while since I played this. The custom button setup for Autofire in MAME32k++ doesn't seem to work right, gotta mash it to restart the fire after launching a charge shot (WHICH KIND OF HAPPENS A LOT IN THIS GAME)

Just turn the autofire rate for the custom button up to 5. Should work fine.

[emphatic]

Could someone verify that PS2 version (ARCADE) is submittable this week?

Great Game, but I'm a little disappointed not to see Strikers III in our STGT09.

btw. Autofire is like cheating :-b

In my opinion it should be, but I'm not mike, so you'll have to wait for him to confirm.

Just turn the autofire rate for the custom button up to 5. Should work fine.

Doesnt work to me ( wolfmame 0.99)

Oh, Strikers 1945 II ! Best choice for a STGT game ever!

I think home versions should be accepted only if played on ARCADE or ORIGINAL 1 modes. When you play the game on Original 2, the bullet patterns are different in many spots. But I am not the one to set the rules here.

If I can play in a home version, I'll probably dig the PS1, my old 20'TV and go for the tate setup

Edit: My scores will probably take a hit, but I really am going towards not using save-states to practice this week... I have a love/hate relationship with this game, and I really wouldn't like to "cheat" to get better at it.


Edit 2: Got Original 1 and Original 2 modes switched.

btw. Autofire is like cheating :-b

Explain what you think it does in S1945II.

Well, autofire in general is a big advantage for mame users over pcb users. You can concentrate on dodging instead of triggering.

[lgb]

because no one with the pcb has any way of autofire, period

I can see your point for Varth maybe, but regarding Strikers 45 ii you don't have any advantages. And then again, you don't have to use the PCB, just play on MAME if you feel like autofire is a must for you.
It would be cheating to use autofire if it wouldn't be allowed, but actually it is, use it!

well i hoped for strikers 1999, but hey. at least i can play on my TV again. also, despite being vertizontal, 1945 Plus on the neogeo mvs would have been a great choice imo. a game like the bastard son of a cave/psikyo love affair.

I'll have to ask some people on IRC, or wait until Shatterhand does some research, but I think if you play the PS, PS2, and Saturn versions on Arcade, you should be fine.

Don't weight every word, I'm feeling fine with the tournament, it's a great opportunity to play some shooters again. And thanks, Plasmo, I don't leave the steak on the plate cause somebody else offers better knives ^_^ Please don't get me wrong, I don't want to blame anybody, I'm just being suprised, that the STGT is so Mame focused. I thought before, Mame might just be a solution for the people who don't have the possibility to access the console or arcade version, but now I feel myself a bit pushed to use Mame in this tournament. Well, it's my first participation, so some things are new for me.
