Tournament of trap15 Shooting Game Tournament (TRP-STGT)

[jepjepjep]

Week 1 has begun! This weeks game is....


AKUU GALLET!

It'll blow your socks off!

Score thread coming soon.

Too late to register? Even if I'm guaranteed to come last >.>

Good timing. I needed one more person to give everyone a rival

That's what I've been playing all week. Nice selection trap. I'm regretting not registering for the tourney now.

[ShmupSamurai]

Air Gallet? This will be my first time playing it...Ooooh this is gonna be interesting!

[n0rtygames]

Good timing. I needed one more person to give everyone a rival

Win!

But shmupmame just started bombing out on me with it's "unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)" error. Grah! Time to fix and compete in games I've never played!

[Korszca]

I'm calling out Masa as my rival for the rest of the tournament. She thinks I'll win every week. I'm sure she's wrong.

BRING IT *tea*

[RNGmaster]

I'll do a credit or two but the UFO Lunatic clear comes first.

e: What is the fucking point of the green weapon? Is this some cruel joke?

[Korszca]

Oh, it's already been broughten!

To kill you unfairly and steal your quarters ofc

Soooo freakin' true....

I learned that the HARD way..... .......very..QUICKLY...

[emphatic]

Too bad I sold my PCB. Now, can I run this @ 100% speed in MAME..... I'll find out after work.

boss 2 jajaja

it's surprisingly useful if you learn how to control it and may be the best weapon in the game

fuck that though

[Deca]

A BOLD CHOICE, I approve

[Ed Oscuro]

I like the guys at the beginning saluting to the brave young man who is about to have his socks blown off
(speaking of which, when does the opening cutscene of the city being taken over by the guys with no standardized equipment play? Do you have to watch the attract mode 3 times or something?)

Beyond that...well, the cruel joke isn't the green laser, it's the scoring system. Nothing like watching that counter pass 70K for the first stage and knowing you won't get the 100K because you missed one medal at the bottom of the screen It's not as bad in this respect as VP1 because this goal doesn't conflict with another scoring goal, but I still find it fussy. And despite the kind-of autofire, this one wears my hand out just as quickly as others. Don't like the wiggle mechanic, don't like the flames throwing me off about my ship's hitbox location; really, just always have been annoyed at this game, despite its obvious goodness. I'll keep at it this time, though, and maybe I'll finally hold it together long enough to see Stage 3

A BOLD CHOICE, I approve

For sure!

[Eaglet]

Hmm... only problem with this game is that there's too little suicide in this one.
Next game better have lots and lots of it. I wanna kill myself!

plays after watching demo twice, then plays after watching demo three times

Thanks for the very precise answer!

I learned something that I wouldn't have if I just waited a few seconds more after the second demo, lol.

[Lance Boyle]

As it turns out, I'll have to drop out. Have fun, the rest of you!

[emphatic]

Frenetic. good sir. I am calling you out for a duel (i.e. my rival) for the second week!

<throws his gauntlet on the ground in front of Frenetic>

[RNGmaster]

Yeah, I'm dropping out.

[trap15]

If anyone else doesn't plan on playing, please let me know. I need to drop one more person out for everyone to have a RIVAL. In the event that this doesn't happen, one random person from X-tier will not have a RIVAL (I have positioned everyone from X-tier who has so far submitted a score into their new tiers, so no one who has played this week will lack a RIVAL).

[n0rtygames]

Well, to be honest I've really enjoyed the little buzz created by the tournament and such - but as you may have seen in other threads I've posted, it's come about that I'm going to be moving house in the next couple of weeks due to a stroke of luck - so I could (and probably should) volunteer myself to drop out. I'm probably going to have a week or two without an internet connection anyway.

I'll probably still play the games you announce when I can and participate in spirit though.. albeit unranked.... and therefore unshamed...

[trap15]

Alright, I'll take you off the tier list. Thanks for playing, and best of luck to you.

Score submission is now CLOSED!!

Next game will be announced in just under 2 hours.

[KAI]

If you choose Batrider I'll be your enemy for all the eternity.

[ShmupSamurai]

I may not be very good at it, but I LOOOVE me some Batrider...

[trap15]

Scoreboard has been updated with the final points and rankings, and the RIVAL selections for Week 2. Prepare yourself for some gun slingin' in just over 1 hour!

[Frenetic]

<slowly retreives the gauntlet>
"emphatic. I will return the favor and be your RIVAL for the second week. to duel again is an honor. may thy knife chip and shatter!"

Frenetic. good sir. I am calling you out for a duel (i.e. my rival) for the second week!

<throws his gauntlet on the ground in front of Frenetic>

[trap15]

Week 2 has begun! The game is...

GUN FRONTIER!

[Cagar]

[KAI]

Autofire makes the game harder! FUCK YEAH!
Seriously, think twice about it.

[Ed Oscuro]

I've got a bad feeling about this...
