[EPS21]

EPS21 - Ketsui Defence Force - 596,900 - 1-6 - Ki84

Whats the deal with the scoring system in this game? I can't figure out why gold bars give me 200 or 2000 and everything else inbetween no matter what I do

Collect medals when they glint bright white to get 2000. Closer, 1000, less close, 500, you are a noobie, 200.

Otherwise, just shoot everything.

Ouch, second loop hurts. Ranking down was pretty awesome for the last two bosses in Loop 1 though.

[Ruldra]

Ruldra - Garrincha Shooting Team - 1,352,400 - 2-1 - F5U - MAME

Well, 2nd loop is impossible for me so this is my final score. Good luck for the rest of the team.

[Dragoforce]

And i'm off to buy a lottery ticket.

Do you try to be this cool? Or does it just come naturally?

Finding a good ship took me a while.

[Enhasa]

First time in 2nd loop. People are right, this game is surprisingly easy for MAME era Psikyo. Maybe that's why it's top25 and Dragon Blaze and Gunbird 2 aren't, I don't see any other way.



Enhasa - Team Sweet Tacos - 1,425,100 - 2-2 - F5U - MAME

Well, 2nd loop is impossible for me so this is my final score. Good luck for the rest of the team.

m3tall1ca - Downrank - 530,500 - 1-5 - Ki84 - MAME

Finally got a chance to play. Rank control = easy game. I don't know whether to be disappointed or proud if I clear this game and it's my first arcade clear >_> Hopefully I have a chance to put some more credits in; I rather like this game.

[Zejiro]

I like this game

What is this talk about the game being EASY?!? I must be doing something totally wrong because I find this game to be extremely difficult.

I have been somewhere in the middle of the table during the first three weeks of STGT but my best score right now would be at the bottom. I've tried all the ships, dabbled with powering down, attempted to look for safe spots, practiced bosses with save states, grabbed glinting medals, used more charge shots, used less charge shots, attacked aggressively, played defence, made small tap-dodges, led enemy bullets, memorized patterns, used a joystick, used a keyboard and still I die EVERYWHERE. Stray bullets, aimed bullets, patterned bullets, fast bullets, slow bullets, TANKS, SHIPS, PLANES, MECHS ALL KILL ME. The worst part, and what separates this experience from any other, is that I am not getting any better.

My entirely average skills are utterly destroyed by this game; actually Psikyo games in general seem to crush my brain and force me to seek solace in the loving embrace of R-Type.

I still like this game, however.

I have to try the PS2-port instead. The lag on my laptop is almost funny.

It's not that this game is easy, but its difficulty is much lower compared to stuff like Dragon Blaze or Gunbird 2.

new improved score by 20k..hooray. Mucho botches.

[Kyper]

Still no confirmation on the PS2 version? I don't trust my laptop at the moment and I don't have access to my desktop for this week. The PS2 version lets you select from difficulty levels numbered 1 to 7. Level 4 is called easy and level 5 is normal. Level 6 is hard and level 7 is very hard. I would assume level 5/Normal is the way to go?

sven666 - shooting snobs - 660300 - 1-6 - Ki84 (ps2)
