STGT'10 Week 1 - Cyvern: The Dragon Weapons

[moozooh]

Jesus Christ, Medals, you're on fire! :o

[TLB]

Well, I think I owe it to watching replays of the game for hours on end, savestating a lot, and then getting fluke credits. I hit F3 more than I hit shot. That 6.1M score was my first full credit after watching both replays I have twice each, then savestating for an hour or two, then watching Icarus's replay again. The next day, I wasn't even making half of that before restarting or fucking up irreparably. Video games hate me.

[Octopod]

We cannot use scores from save states right?

[sikraiken]

No cheating/slowdown/savestates/etc when you do your score run.

Blatant lowball. (￣▽￣)

Good job m3tall1ca, don't stop now. 11mil+ is a good target for the end of the first loop (and my old 14mil was a bit of a fluke back then, admittedly). I do find that score-based bombing (to weaken targets etc) is far more beneficial than hoarding bombs for anything in this game.

[luy]

I have not seen the replay match any players??
Or I only posted with replay??

Can someone please post links in the sign-up thread either to this "Hi Scores" section or to each new thread created for this tournament? I've been watching the sign-up thread for the past week wondering when this thing was starting, and now I've only just found this thread with only a couple of days to play.

Edit: Also:

Thanks for the encouragement, but I work both tomorrow night and Sunday night, so I'm not sure if I'll have much time to continue (read: spam credits long enough to pull a good one :3). And I agree about the bombs! Especially in stage 2, with the two white + one blue thing that shoot lines of death. However, as soon as the white ones are dead, I let the blue one live for a while anyway to start the annoying popcorn rush earlier in the stage, thus ending it earlier during the fight with the plane so I can milk it with greater ease. Unfortunately, bombing the train in stage 1 appears to have no effect, and I've restarted stage 1 enough times to say pretty much for sure :3

(And seriously, I thought he was lowballing too, even I get 6M on my "crappy credits" xD)

m3tall1ca - Fatloli Luftwaffe - 11,348,280 - 2-1 - Ferious - MAME

Nice improvement man, I might go for a last try to 1cc 1st loop...

[TLB]

Go for it, just make sure you have a plan to get all the points out of the 1-5 boss :3

When I had this pcb, there was an option for a 3rd button as autofire. I can't find the same option on name. Anyone know about this? Is there an Asia version or something (and a rom for it) (maybe that's the pcb I had?)

[MR_Soren]

MR_Soren - Let's Destroy STGT '10 - 1,793,380 - 1-3 - Ferious - MAME

Just another incremental improvement. No real breakthroughs. As usual, my stage 1 scores are best with the red and blue dragons, but I can't kill the stage 2 boss without the green one.



Credit fed through this game a couple times. I can see how a lot of points can be scored in stage 4 if you don't lose your medal chain. However, I do not see myself ever getting there. At least not during a 1-week competition. I hope my team plans on showing up. I'll be happy if I can reach 2 million.

agill - Dickpenis Cockenstrudel - 7,395,250 - 2-2 - Ferious - MAME

I really messed my medal chains up in this one! I missed the bonus on 1-5 too . I SHOULD HAVE BOMBED MORE!!

It's pathetic I only have less than 7.4 million on the second loop! But I'm happy, and probably done for the week.
