STGT'12 Week 1: Strikers 1999

[Weak Boson]

Weak Boson - 431,600 - 1-4 - X-36 - shmupmame v3.0



It's a start

[Nifty]

DavidThink - 739,000 - 1-7 - X-36 - MAME

Five days to properly learn two more stages. I think I can clear this D:

[Hattori Hanzo]

Hattori Hanzo - 511,100 - 1-5 - X36 - shmupmame 3.0b

I consider my duty to be fulfilled.
Anything else that might come or not is optional.

[RNGmaster]

This one is legit. 1-7 ran at full FPS, and maybe I could have made 1-8 if I didn't mess up the boss opener.

RNGmaster - 894400 - 1-7 - x-36 - Wolfmame+ 0.106

If I get the kinks worked out I will definitely try to record a replay.

[DaLar]

DaLar - 290,400 - 1-4 - X-36 - MAME

[Aru-san]

Aru-san - 522,500 - 1-5 - X-36 - ShmupMAME

I took your TECHNICAL BONUS and threw it on the GROUND!

[CulDad78]

Need to get on the board.

[Battletoad]

Battletoad - 1,115,600 - 2-1 - X-36 - ShmupMAME

Cool, already a total new highscore for me. Let's see if I can get anything to go in the 2nd loop.

That pic has style.

[shmuppyLove]

That pic has style.

At first I thought it was plastic around the screen.

Then I realized it was duct tape ...

[ShadowWraith]

Fuck.

ShadowWraith - 2027400 - 2-8 - X-36 - MAME



Got hit by popcorn enemies while sitting in the safe spot on the first form of the 2-8 boss.

Max chain: 9.

I'm good at medals.

[CulDad78]

Yup, one of the kids stepped on the top of it and the outer casing cracked and is loose now...still runs like a ghetto champ though

[Vally]

Self improvement.



Vally - 582,700 - 1-5 - X-36 - MAME

[drunkninja24]

Finally made it past 1-4, with a couple technical bonuses to boot.

drunkninja - 510,800 - 1-5 - X-36 - shmupmame 3.0b

[FIL]

First entry of the week.

I can't see myself getting any further than 1-6. This game is beyond my skill level even when I'm on form.

Took the screenshot before I'd finished entering my name for some reason.

FIL - 522200 - 1-5 - X-36 - Mame

[Jaimers]

Jaimers - 1,965,800 - 2-7 - X-36 - Shmupmame 2.2

Man, had a complete meltdown on 2-7.

inp + nvram
Big thanks to Masa for the batch file.

[RNGmaster]

Most of my deaths were from a.) dumb fuckery on the static-as-all-hell-this-is-so-easy 1-5 boss or b.) trying to pick up a powerup in 1-7 and getting an invisible popcorn bullet to the face.

RNGmaster - 907,800 - 1-7 - X-36 - Wolfmame

Jaimers, 2-7 is hard and I don't blame you. Good progress!

I plan to make 2-2 by Friday. Just a matter of setting up working savestates...

Nice score. Did you try to play back your INP? It desyncs for me at 1-5. :/ Do you use any non-standard settings in MAME? (windowed, different video mode, etc)

sirmax - 259.500 - 1-3 - F-22 - MameUI

[Thanuris]

Thanuris - 1,063,100 - 1-8 - X-36 - MAME



at least the scoring is going nicely

[DrInfy]

Dr Infy - 526,200 - 1-5 - F-4 - Shmupmame3.0




I think I'm winning the competition for the top F-4...


(probably because I'm the only one using F-4 :p )

1-7 boss is an asshole.

GJ chum!

I was just working on the 1-7 boss and can give some advice.

For its opener, start at the top right of the screen when the screen flashes and it appears. Move down, kill off the pods, and dodge the spray attack on the left side (it seems to be lighter). The direction of the spin attacks is random but if one is going the wrong direction you can slip through it pretty easily at the top of the screen.

I always get killed because I'm moving while it fires the wide streaming attack, I get walled and can't move into one of the lanes 1-7 is a douche of you don't do things just right.
