STGT'12 Week 3: Salamander 2

[Dragoforce]

Dragoforce- 279,100 - 1-5 - MAME

Had absolutly zero time to play this week.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

Ugh, I'm hitting a scoring wall at 2-3. I keep arriving there with only one or two lives to spare, never quite reaching 1.1 mil.

[ShadowWraith]

I don't think I can play this anymore. Also, I have no idea how to get that gold ship.

Destroy the first two large ships by only hitting the main body. Damaging the fins or engines of those will prevent the gold ship spawning.

Destroy the fins and engine on the gold ship before it explodes to get the 100k point bonus.

Just played a few credits got lazy this week

[DJW]

DJW - 164,800 - 1-3 - Mame Plus 0.106

[NoMoreHeroes]

Finally killed the Brain Golem on the 1st loop; too worried about survival the 2nd time.

I still have no idea about the Golden Ship, and I think I'm wore out on this one. I hate horis.

NoMoreHeroes - 893,500 - 2-6 - Saturn

CHI - 640,900 - 1-6 - shmupmame

I think I'm done for this week

[FIL]

I'm not happy with my score but I think it's about as good as I'm going to do this week.

FIL - 341,800 - 1-6 - mame+

There's been a whole ton of posts explaining it already. Plant your options at the right side of the screen and sit there as the first two blue ships show up, the missiles will kill the blue ships without touching the engine or fins. The yellow ship shows up, destroy the engine first (it has more health), then the upper fin, then finish off the ship itself for the 100k.

Not sure if it is stage 4, maybe it's 5... Awful score for an awful game.

I suppose a lot of things must feel awful for someone who can't count to six

It's an Edgar Allan Poe reference, from The Purloined Letter. Heavily butchered, of course. Apart from that, no, nothing else worth saying.

In a moment of celebration I forgot to use those bombs to get extra score at the end. Oh well, it's not that important. Got all techs but milked quite badly 2-3 boss.

Small improvement... probably last for the week. Wish I knew of a more reliable way to get shield drops

[Ed Oscuro]

Ed Oscuro - 233,200 - 1-4 - MAMEUI Plus! Plus! 0.146u4 (Jul 31 2012)

99% deaths on stage one - first time beating the third boss, actually.

You know, R-Type doesn't make your ship useless on spawn. Why not just give the "first" speedup + option as a freebie? No, that'd be too intelligent for Konami.
