STGT'11 Week 2: Daioh

[sikraiken]

Extends don't raise rank. I'm using wolfmame 106, I haven't experienced any freezing.

Anyway.

Nothing like the game freezing up for no fucking reason!!!!

I have to say the autofire turns this into a completely different game. I didn't try it at first because it didn't seem like it would make a difference since you can hold down fire by default. But autofire makes bosses go down WAY quicker. I actually think it's probably not fair to allow, but I'm assuming that the top scorer's are using it, so I have to try* to compete.

I 2nd that freezing notion. All I want to do is record a decent inp but it always freezes for me after I blow up the 1up carrier for some reason(shmupmame v2.2).

And I actually had no idea autofire did anything extra since the game already has it's own autofire going on, I figured no amount of mashing, inhumanly possible or not, would allow you to point blank things any faster. I'm gonna try it out tomorrow and see if anything happens cause I'd enjoy getting rid of a pesky boss part just that tad bit quicker...

It allows you to kill bosses much faster. I thought it would make the game alot easier at first. After playing for awhile I'm getting consistently higher average scores, but still failing to beat my best score.

I'm starting to get stuck in level 4 when these 4 or 5 ships come out that just throw a shitload of fast bullets at you.

You could say that about anything.

Also, I didn't use auto.

[ShadowWraith]

must have died 100s of times at that stage 4 boss. any advice of where to place yourself when it gets close to the bottom screen? I can manage to take out the left arm with rockets after it has gotten off 2 shots but cant take out the right arm before its near the bottom and starts its psikyo patterns.

also, what does the P symbols stand for under the ship indicators? I also noticed that sometimes when I get hit I dont die, but the ship flickers and I get powered down. Whats going on?

[ShadowWraith]

P symbols is your current power level. The hit-powerdown thing is from the purple Powerup. It sets you to max power and gives you a 1 hit shield, losing the shield doesn't reduce your power in any way.

[croikle]

They're not your current power level, but powerup icons you have stored up. It takes 2 icons to move from power level 2 to 3, and 3 icons to move from power level 3 to 4. You can store up to 3 more once fully powered, and maybe those go to your next ship? I haven't explored that fully.

[ShadowWraith]

Oh.

This game indeed is hard, still fun!

Updated. And for reference, adding sikraiken's score more than doubled the standard deviation.

[Plasmo]

Plasmo - 5,364,440 - 11 - MAME

DoubleThink - 2,104,980 - 6 - MAME

Lots of work done, lots of work still left to do :/

[Skyline]

Skyline - 1,055,430 - 4 - MAME

Took a while to come to grips with this one.

[dex]

Updated.

Also added to my dynamic scoreboard something that shows the statistical distribution skipping sikraiken, because he wrecks statistics so much.

Extremely lucky no-miss from stage 7 to the stage 11 boss, so not going to complain too much after collapsing on stage 12 so close to the extend...

1. I guess it was just naturally picking up power ups before the boss then

2. WTF HOW?. Please share that replay with us when this week is over!

Pro-tip: sikraiken will prove you wrong in a week. You're gonna like the way you lose. I GUARANTEE IT.

[KMM]

From what sikraiken was telling us in shmups chat last night, about a quarter of that was from random extend items.

Let me repeat that: a quarter of his ALL score came from random items.

Can it be Monday yet so I never have to look at this game again?

[dex]

Let me repeat that: a quarter of his ALL score came from random items.

Actually, 18%. 2 of those extends weren't random.

And you need to ALL this game anyway for that to have any impact.

Edit: BTW, so Tacos actually has a second score, my first credit after a little savestate practice, and before I go out drinking:

dex - 1557100 - 5 - MAME

Updated.

[Gemant]

Please share that replay with us when this week is over!

I agree with this. Please share at the end of this turn.

is this a WR?

Yes, for US version. But jap version have differences.

Well then, may the best team end up second
