TRP-STGT Conversation Week 3: Battle Garegga

[Iori Branford]

Probably could've had a new one already, had I not been screwed out of bombs before AAAAAAAAALLLL of the big bomb spots.

GareMAME users can click to laugh at my torment.

[Eaglet]

The reason Miyamoto and Gain are so much easier to play with is that since they're fast characters they have a much larger success rate of picking up stray medals and also the ability to macro dodge some patterns that Wild Snail for an example has to fly through.
Gain also has the best bomb in the game... as everyone should already know.

The best choice possible btw!
Been looking for another reason to get back to Garegga fo' realz and i think this is it!

Dear trap15,

Why did you pick Garegga this week when I'm really busy, and a shit game last week when I was off all week?

why

I hate you,
hzt

[SuperSoaker360]

Oh wow I forgot how brutal rank was in this game. I keep getting wiped out on Stage 5. Maybe it's time for me to read up on the strategy thread...

[Bloodreign]

How fitting last week Gun Frontier, this week it's inspiration.


Gun Frontier and Battle Garegga word life.

[Naglfar]

what the fuck are these other ships and how do I get them

[Eno]

Some of the DiMahoo ships IIRC. Just put a coin in and press Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B C Start and they'll appear in the ship selection screen, or set the option to enable them if you're on saturn version.

(And what's the deal with A,B,C ships besides different color and more silly names?) Edit: nvm, found it looking in the other ST threads, this game is really well documented by the community.

[drunkninja24]

Perhaps a dumb question, but how do I get MAME to load the Japan version? It only seems to load Europe, though the rom is apparently multiregion or something.

[trap15]

There are instructions on either the ST thread or the regular High Score submission thread. I'll add the instructions to the score submission OP in a sec.

[CptRansom]

I just use Tab > Dip Switches > Region > Japan > F3.

[trap15]

Yeah, I think that's all you have to do. Not sure if the extend rate is different by default though.

[Meseki]

Yeah, I think that's all you have to do. Not sure if the extend rate is different by default though.

Every 1 million (or "Every 1000k") is what it was initially set to for me, which I'm pretty sure is Japan's default.

[ShmupSamurai]

Oh man, Battle Garrega!? This's gonna be rough-better get ready to lock and load....

[Illyrian]

Back to game-overing on the 3rd boss for a week then I guess...

Also lol HZT I guess this will be 2-0 after this week then!

Edit: Does anyone have accurate hitbox images?
I've tried the ST thread and google etc. and can't find anything >.<

[emphatic]

Funny how some people post scores that are gained from secret characters even though they're banned this week. They're in for a cold shower when they find out!

[trap15]

But they aren't banned...

[Hagane]

Secret characters allowed.

Which ones are the secret ones anyway?

Gain, Miyamoto, Chitta, Bornnam.

Also which version are we playing?

Japanese, Arcade or Saturn. No Red Ball, no Stage Select.
