STGT'12 Week 4 Voting: Cave Week

[dex]

The voting process is simple: if you're a captain, you can send me the vote using a Private Message. If you aren't a captain, do not send me a vote.

The choices for this week are:

• EspGaluda
• Ketsui
• DDP DOJ

The ballot is secret. Because I'm a little late with this for personal reasons, you have until the actual start of the week to send me your votes (4AM GMT of the 13th).

[trap15]

I'm voting ESPGaruda. Following the current trend of my voting/opinions, this game will not win, and DDPDOJ will.

[Emuser]

There is only ONE truly right pick for Cave week....

[KAI]

KE-TSU-IIIIIII!

[DrInfy]

DOJ White label? Isn't it kinda broken in MAME? At least my version breaks save states every time. Anyways if DOJ white label wins and we're still seeing 5-10 people 2-alling it, I'm going be slightly suspicious of the honesty of the tournament (and the top players). :p

[Smraedis]

I know I would be amazed if I ever clear the first loop, this could finally be my chance of it happening.

[CHI]

I've been trying to avoid CAVE games for the past couple of months... oh well, shit happens

Savestates work fine for any of those games in MAME (they are the same engine), but do expect people to 2-ALL either DOJ or Ketsui. The difficulty of DOJ is somewhat overstated, though WL is still very frustrating given its extend system.

[KAI]

Don't use savestates, problem solved.

[azinth]

I thought it was established early on that DOJBL was what we'd be playing. No one plays WL anymore lol

Anyway I'm hoping Galuda doesn't win since I don't really like that game. It will probably win though

[njiska]

Oh please be Ketsui. I don't want to have to deal with DOJ's strict chaining.

[Eaglet]

キツイ！

[sikraiken]

Make it espgaluda.

[SuperSoaker360]

May as well be Ketsui since I haven't even played it enough to 1-all it.

[trap15]

キツイ！

You know that says Kitsui, yes?

And a better choice:
エスプガルダ！

[Chaos Phoenixma]

If Ketsui wins, we should play Ketsui Arrange instead.


But please, ESPGaluda. The other 2 games have awful scoring.


Oh, and I don't think that many would 2-All DOJ White. I'm sure Naut probably could, maybe sikraiken. And maybe there'd be a few others.

[trap15]

But please, ESPGaluda. The other 2 games have awful scoring.

This, so much. It's not even that the scoring systems are awful on their own, they are just completely awful for a 1-week scoring competition where the handful of people who seriously play the game outside of STGT have such a significant advantage that no one else might as well play.

ケツイはきついです。

[trap15]

Didn't catch that. Clever

[Eaglet]

[Despatche]

pick dojbl and make us play 1-round mode

pfff no one else plays anyway

HA!

[trap15]

Except pretty much the entirety of Touhou is Harder

[KAI]

Week 1: Striker 1999 (2 Loops)
Week 2: V-V (2 Loops)
Week 3: Salamander 2 (2 Loops)

If we follow this pattern, Espgaluda is out of the question.

Following that pattern, Cho Ren Sha will win next week as well. Hmm, maybe I should start taking bets for STGT games

STGT seems to be partly about getting people to try out games they might not have seriously scored in before, and I agree EspGaluda is probably the newbie friendliest for a one week competition (especially considering how many points are in the other games' loops, the difficulty getting there, etc).

I might be biased though cause it'd also give me an excuse to try and hit 40 mil <3

[KAI]

Vote for no newbie-friendly-week.

Steep Slope Sliders.
