tinotormed's Philippine super-playlist shack
Re: The life of a Filipino shmupper
I have to admit that I was expecting more of a story coming in here about how tinotormed got into shmups and not really some kind of argument. I couldn't help but laugh for some reason at what unfolded of it.
Getting on topic, there are a couple letdowns in the videos(mainly DDP double play, I was expecting 2 people/2 seperate inputs for both sides) but among other things 45 mil in BWR+ Heaven isn't bad and if that's really a Raiden II 1 Loop clear I saw up there that isn't that easy either(not that I've ever played Raiden II but Raiden 1 has kicked my ass enough times for me to assume that II is no easier. I don't know a good 1/2 of the games in the first post so there's not a whole lot else I can say right now...
I've been thinking about doing a "life of a mexican shmupper" topic someday since I'm kinda in the same boat as you are...except I'm mexican lol. How many times will someone hear about a Mexican staring at Hibachi in Dodonpachi?

Re: The life of a Filipino shmupper
Enough! I am just trying to be nice in this forum without starting a flame and you two are trying to offend our country. If you want to do that, take it outside this forum. If you persist, I am locking this thread and have the mods deal with you two.captpain wrote:Drum wrote: system11 begins its war on the Philippines. The gutters will run thick with gore tonight.
If I am declaring war on the Philippines by my comments then so be it. Sorry for starting WWIII... Who knew it would happen at shmups forum?
Anyway I am going to move on to another topic so I'm sorry if I bothered all of you easily-offended scrubs, enjoy your feigned affability.

Re: The life of a Filipino shmupper
Posting a topic like this is a very good idea and is what this forum is for.
All the people that aren't interested in your videos will shut up now and you can continue to show your vids and other people can comment on them.
Just watched your cherry blossom replay.
Good gaming there, but I know you can do it on normal too
You have a nice collection of shmup videos for only one year of playing. Keep it going and don't loose the fun in playing!
EDIT:
If you want to know more about scoring in Cherry Blossom you can check this out. Other Touhou Games there as well.

Re: The life of a Filipino shmupper
Yeah, but i am not really good at them as I kept getting killed on Normal unfortunately. But i still focus on shmups on every console and I might tackle a higher difficulty on them. At least I am still a fan of this genre though. This is my very first year in this forum, and one day, I might look for some challenges and for some to upload.
Re: The life of a Filipino shmupper
If you want to get better the best would be if you would focus on one game for a long period.
You can play some other games from time to time to relax a little bit.
But playing only one shmup as your main shmup for several month will surely improve your skill in that game and your overall skill as well.

Re: The life of a Filipino shmupper
Good suggestion, but for now I've got to focus on that Raiden III Normal mode and plan to post a score and a replay for it. I did other shmup replays on Easy though, but this one would be majority for me. Oh, and I changed the title to "tinotormed's Philippine superplay shack" to avoid some meltdown.
Re: tinotormed's Philippine superplay shack
I highly recommend you keep this sort of thing to the YouTube topic. If you are going to keep this topic anyway (please don't), please change the thread title.

Re: tinotormed's Philippine superplay shack
Jesus Christ. Talk about looking down your nose at people you patronising cunt. Is it so hard to ignore the thread if you don't like it? It COULD have gone in the Youtube thread, but it didn't. Is that such a crime? I hope you're not such a condescending little prick in real life, for your sake.Despatche wrote:I highly recommend you keep this sort of thing to the YouTube topic.

Yeah do that. Take your time with the game and focus on it.tinotormed wrote:but for now I've got to focus on that Raiden III Normal mode and plan to post a score and a replay for it
I'm not into playing Raiden myself at all ( I like Viper Phase 1 though) but I always enjoy watching replays of the Raiden games. So looking forward to it.

Re: tinotormed's Philippine superplay shack
Oh, and moreover, the difficulty for some games I am playing on isn't mean't to show some lame skill, but rather for some high score as a challenge.
Re: tinotormed's Philippine superplay shack
Seriously people on this forum can be real assholes about threads like these. I remember how much Kaiser got critisized from just using the word superplay in this video thread.
It's always entertaining and sometimes educational watching others play so I don't mind these kinds of threads at all, in fact there should be more of them.
If you really want to enforce the policy of posting youtube videos only in the YT thread you might as well make it a sticky then. Same with the introduction thread that sails in the page X right now >_>

Re: tinotormed's Philippine superplay shack
Haha, you still remember it huh? Well true, some people WERE real assholes about putting word superplay into the thread, now it's odd they don't bitch about it here. They're bunch of egoistic nuts.LtC wrote:Seriously people on this forum can be real assholes about threads like these.

^ Here is the thread LtC mentioned, reminds me. I should update it and revive it since A LOT of stuff arrived since on my YT (though recording superplays nowadays is out of question due lack of time, only occassionaly now)

Re: tinotormed's Philippine superplay shack
The general youtube thread starts with this very sentence
So this is totally ok.
If we rellay want only one thread for yt videos then I advice in createing a second thread with the title "shmups" and everyting that is related to shmups should go in that thread... wait...
edit: @Kaiser: wow. Lots of videos in that thread! Thanks!
This thread obviusly falls into the category "about specific videos" - namely the videos of tinotormed.There are a few threads about specific videos, but here's one for anything you can find

Re: tinotormed's playlist shack
My bad there, LtC and Kaiser. Changed the title again w/o taking 'superplay' for granted ridiculously.
Re: tinotormed's playlist shack
Dude no! That's not what we meant! Feel free to put the word superplay back into the topic. What we meant is that WE'RE against "users" who are a bunch of elitists and claim stuff like "it needs to be 80% of WR score to be a superplay" and that kind of bullshit. Put that word back onto the title. AND stop listening to people who suggest you should change the title of the topic or question your quality of the videos in THE wrong way. What matters is that you keep playing it and enjoying it. Fuck the haters, enjoy the games!tinotormed wrote:My bad there, LtC and Kaiser.

Re: tinotormed's playlist shack
All right, but note that I am not a pro player and sometimes I would suck in some games, but with skill in my advantage, it might take me time to practice some of them.Kaiser wrote:Dude no!

Either way, are you seriously condoning an individual topic for the YouTube videos of every single member who ever joins the forum?

Re: tinotormed's Philippine super-playlist shack
Perhaps tinotormed should have posted his videos in the Youtube thread, but that doesn't excuse all this pointless bickering. We can acheive plenty and then some being nice. At worst tinotormed has been over enthusiastic with his post here.
I know some of you in this thread have been decent, and it's clear who that is.
If people are really still aggravated we can move the first post to the Youtube thread. Just ease up on the aggro.

Re: tinotormed's Philippine super-playlist shack
I think there's a few of you. Check out the Shmupmeets section where you'll be more on topic, and put up a request there. I did that once upon a time, and now the 'Casino Arcade' thread is over 50 pages long and I've made some good friends.

Re: tinotormed's Philippine super-playlist shack
I hope this thread doesnt get locked due to the raging as Itll be a waste of a good thread where we can chat about shmups as we're all passionate about them and so is Tinotormed (although maybe a little bit too passionate if I may be so boldIf people are really still aggravated we can move the first post to the Youtube thread. Just ease up on the aggro.

Im off to watch some of your videos right now

EDIT
As an lover of X.X games its cool to see some BWR loving (although it would be better if you hadnt turned off the background music as Shmups need music as much as a fish needs water imo) I prefer BWR over the later plus version due to it been harder and not having that jerky slowdown thats used way too much in plus.
EDIT ive never played Sonic Ironstorm but its simlar twin Demolition Gunner ISAD is a fave of mine I very much recommended as a easy but fun 1CC
I enjoyed watching parts of Coryoon and harmfull park as thats the 1st time ive seen those games. As someone who usually plays bullet filled verts I definatly can see me playing some retro cute em up horis as a fun distraction
If youre like Nexat soft's games I highly recomend you try out summer Carnival 91 Recca which is viewed by many as quite a hard 1CC which it is for anyone who doesnt know the rules of play. Although if you read the strategy guide and use the correct power ups in the right places (shield with homing secondry shot and Lv3 laser FTW) you should have no trouble beating it.

Re: tinotormed's Philippine super-playlist shack
Also what version of Raiden 2 are you playing? Im just wondering with version is the best to play on the pc, between the windows or PS1 versions. any have tate?
Oh BTW Ive noticed that youve changed your You Tube background due to complaints over it been too colourfull but the new picture is just as bad. Please could you change it again for a more muted picture that allows ppl to read the text easily.
Been a shmup player who hates playing shmups with overly colourfull backgrounds that obscure the bullets its a bit of a pet peeve of mine now when I see a simlar thing else where like on YT profile pages

I didn't like flaming here either, I am just doing my job entering the tables on the High Scores thread.TrevHead(TVR) wrote:I hope this thread doesnt get locked due to the raging as Itll be a waste of a good thread where we can chat about shmups as we're all passionate about them and so is Tinotormed (although maybe a little bit too passionate if I may be so bold)
