What type of shmupper are you?

TrevHead (TVR) · Post by **TrevHead (TVR)** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 1:17 am

With all the current talk about the skill of the players on this forum, I thought Ild ask where you are on the shmups pecking order

For myself im around the 1CC mark, although at times I fluctuate into limited credit feeding and semi casual scoreplay, as I dont get 1CCs often.

1CC

I'm not sure if it's really credit feeding, but I will play 2-3 continues on a game if I'm still learning it.

What the hell does Gollum have to do with credit feeding?

BareKnuckleRoo · Post by **BareKnuckleRoo** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 1:31 am

Why not turn this into a poll topic?

I'm mostly a survivalist/1ccer myself. There's only a handful of games I know the strategies for scoring, and even fewer I'm actually competent playing with regards to getting decent scores.

survivalist/1ccer

Will play for score if the scoring system really intrigues me.

Muchi Muchi Spork · Post by **Muchi Muchi Spork** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 2:11 am

I'm with rancor and Vyxx but when I play for score I just try to beat my own record, not all of Japan's.

I dunno I'm kind of torn between score player and survivalist. I primarily play games for the clear at the moment, but I always try to be scoring to my fullest potential when I do get the clear. I'll restart from stupid scoring mistakes but past a certain point in a given game I'll shift my focus more to survival. I guess I'm a score player but still working on my skills to get myself to a competitive level? So that makes me a survivalist? I don't even know I'm not gonna vote, gonna get this DOJ st1 chain sorted out.

Given that my only arcade 1CC is Deathsmiles (which really doesn't count, IMO), I have to place myself in the "lolplayer" group.

xient · Post by **xient** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:03 am

Survival/1CC-chasing for now. Hope to get into score play before I'm old and feeble-minded.

Thjodbjorn · Post by **Thjodbjorn** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:16 am

I've only cleared novice modes. So I'm a lolplayer.

SuperSoaker360 · Post by **SuperSoaker360** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:20 am

I'm a Survivalist/1CCer most of the time. I don't score-play often, but I will admit that I'm a sucker for when points flood the screen.

Bee Cool · Post by **Bee Cool** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:21 am

While I understand that this is (mostly) a joke poll, it really scares me to think that some people believe that purely because they own PCBs they are better STG players than everyone else. Even if these people let their pcbs collect dust after they credit feed through it once just to look at the pre renders that they call hand drawn pixel art on their youtube reviews which are more about the boxing than the contents.

toaplan_shmupfan · Post by **toaplan_shmupfan** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:33 am

I'm both a credit feeder and a 1cc player.

I credit feed until I've seen the end of the game or looped the game, or I've run out of a specified limit of credits--I just can't claim I've legitmately beaten the game unless it's designed as a multicredit game. Smash TV (arena shooter), 47 credits to finish the entire game? No problem, I just haven't beaten it on a single credit so I can't really claim I've beaten the game. G-Darius took me 7 credits to get to Accordion Hazard zone V' and then it took another 6 credits to beat Accordion Hazard? Again, no problem, I just haven't beaten that on a single credit either.

Then I try for the 1cc, maybe if necessary dropping from Normal to Easy (or in the case of Gradius V, I'm trying for the 1cc starting all the way back at Very Easy.)

depends on the game.

somewhere between survivalist/play for score.

Nasirosuchus · Post by **Nasirosuchus** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:52 am

I'm a 1cc player/survivalist.

I play for score only to get the extends that I need. The only games that I've actually played for score are:

The Parodius and Twinbee games because it's so easy to rack up your score by getting the bells.

The Galaga games and Bosconian because they don't have a definite end.

I'm mainly a survivalist that will attempt to beat my own scores and will buy a PCB if it's not that terrible a price. I don't 1CC much but I always at least try.

Take a look at the high score board at arcadeotaku.com. Tells you all you need to know about this PCB player=pro myth.
