STGT'12 Week 2 Voting: Toaplan Week

[Op Intensify]

Hishouzame doesn't suck but it's hella antiquated, too much for many people's tastes here.

[Jaimers]

Some things just don't age well at all.

Let's not let nostalgia cloud our judgement on whether the game is good or bad.

[Tyranix95]

Let's all write in votes for Dimahoo.

+1000

[emphatic]

I think it's possible by just looking at it.

That's not very full shmup of you.

[Jaimers]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[Illyrian]

God I hope V-V wins. It's actually fun.

[Op Intensify]

If Batsugun wins, will it be vanilla or Special?

[sikraiken]

The normal, original version.

[Op Intensify]

That works. I prefer Special, but the smaller hitbox does make it rather easy.

[Ed Oscuro]

Damn you V-Five stage 2 boss

also bonus point milking targets in stage 3

[TenshiP]

Ashame that Zero Wing isn't an option

[gs68]

It's not an option because then playing for score will consist of punching people in the face for invoking that goddamned meme. Which isn't even in the AC version.

[Chirpy13]

[CulDad78]

If all the games are so terrible...why are they the choices?

[njiska]

Well, I have no opinion on any of these games, but the one team member that felt like making a recommendation said V-V, so it gets our vote.

[trap15]

everyone here sucks

[Chaos Phoenixma]

I am so going to enjoy this week, assuming I don't end up like with Gradius games where I hit a wall to some early stage.

[SuperSoaker360]

People actually voted for Hishouzame?

[Despatche]

I love you guys so much right now, I really do. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[DJ Incompetent]

pooor trap15. He's running out of dreams to crush.

[EllertMichael]

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the mega drive port acceptable for scores?

[azinth]

why are the game picks so damn good so far

this isn't the stgt I grew up with

[gs68]

I sorta like checkpoints in the sense that they encourage learning sections instead of just BS'ing them. But yes, checkpoint milking is dumb.

[Despatche]

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the mega drive port acceptable for scores?

not really. you don't want to play it anyway.

[moozooh]

[KAI]

We will have 2 IKD weeks. Not fair.

[moozooh]

IKD had nothing to do with V-V, had he.

[KAI]

This would be Ikeda Tsunemoto's first game at Toaplan. He went on to become a founding member of Cave, where he still works as a lead programmer. It is due to him that the phenomenon of the ''Danmaku''; the huge walls of bullets seen in "Donpachi" etc., came about.

Mameinfo needs an update.

[moozooh]

I stand corrected.
