I need more tea.

[Ed Oscuro]

Get fucked.

GET BENT.

Such strong words from such a tiny shrine maiden :3

Sounds right in line with some of the doujin I've seen...

Edit: My last score is 2420 points higher than my STGT '09 score

[Macaw]

Macaw - 8,120,310 - 6 - Wild Snail (ABC) - MAME

Barely much improvement. Finally got to stage 6 but the run was fucked in heaps of other ways.

[Eaglet]

Stage 6 <3

The most intense stage in any shmup.
I'll try to record a run later today. Wanna see if i can do a NMNB of The Wall today.

[Klatrymadon]

Klatrymadon - 2,428,160 - 4 - Wild Snail (C) - ShmupMAME v3.0b

Medal value by the end of stage 1 was higher than normal (I usually only get it to about the 5th value along by that point, and rarely reach max before the tank on stage 2). Dunno what I did differently - still just bombing those monorail lines! Any tips on getting the value up fast?

[Eaglet]

Do the medalling trick on the gunblimp at the start of stage 2 (0:22 in my video).

Suicide before the gunblimp is entirely in view (so that your shrapnel doesn't destroy any turret), get up to one side of the gunblimp and point black the turrets one after the other to instantly increase the medals. Kind of hard to pull off in the beginning.
And oh, you should never. ever. bomb anything before the bird keep. You need all your bombs to get a maximum amount of points from da birdz.

[Klatrymadon]

Splendid, thanks!

[nZero]

nZero - 4,943,940 - 4 - Gyne (C) - MAMEPlus

lolwtf am i doin

[Nifty]

Piddly improvement on my very last credit:

DoubleThink - 5,945,450 - 5 - Bornnam (ABC) - MAME Plus!



Died on the mini Black Hearts because I forgot they can actually shoot sideways, but even with the extend I probably wouldn't have moved up another spot so w/e. Didn't help that I dropped my chain again Beyond that I think I'm going to have to alter my plan if I'm realistically going to get much more than this in the mid-term.

[Cagar]

Wtf am I doing wrong? It seems that I have no real clue of how to score in garegga, I died at stage 4 boss with 1,4m score...

[KAI]

Scoring system
Blow shit up
Bomb shit up
Don't drop medals
Play with Gain

[Klatrymadon]

Klatrymadon - 3,696,570 - 5 - Wild Snail (ABC) - ShmupMAME v3.0b

Might have time for another go later. Hope so, 'cause that run was cut short by a lapse in attention. Might fetch the Saturn, too...

[KennyMan666]

Okay I played three credits rather than one. Broke a million, no more of this shit.

KennyMan666 - 1,248,600 - 3 - Golden Bat - ShmupMAME 2.2

[Cagar]

Cagar - 2,073,650 - 4 - Grass Hopper (ABC) - ShmupMAME 2.2

[omgdmp]

Cagar - 4,635,540 - 5 - Gain (C) - ShmupMAME 2.2

[Bananamatic]

Cagar - 4,635,540 - 5 - Gain (C) - ShmupMAME 2.2

Cagar?

[KAI]

You need 2 Cagars to beat me.

[coturnix]

coturnix - 3,158,250 - 4 - Wild Snail (A) - MAMEUI64 0.147u2

Reached stage 4 boss, can´t see myself doing any better so this will be my final score for this week.

[Iori Branford]

Iori Branford - 5,591,320 - 5 - Gain A - ShmupMAME 2.2

[emphatic]

You know you've got a bad score when the score board is sarcastic.

emphatic - 1,644,200 - 2 - Wild Snail - "Laggy as fuck MAMEUIFX"

Also, the lag is ridiculous in regular MAME.

[Sik-07]

Sik-07 - 4,633,960 - 4 - Gain B - MAME

[ciox]

I've been playing this game all fucking week for this kusoscore

ciox - 2.141.450 - 3 - BLACK ZEPPELIN - laglessmame


cliffs:
- milked Lavagghin ok i think, had about 400k when it fell, Madball didn't even try
- managed to maintain full medal chain until close to the st3 boss, this was good
- p. mad that Golden Bat gets my whole score just off the flamingoes, but gotta be original
- black zeppelin is just ABC baron btw

[sombetzki]

Sombetzki - 850,910 - 3 - Wild Snail - MAME

[blackoak]

blackoak - 8,150,850 - 7 - Wild Snail (ABC) - PCB



Snuck this credit in before leaving. Kept the chain through stage 6, though I found the Golden Bat wasn't fast enough to collect the medals from the blimps in the way Plasmo described in the ST... or I'm doing something wrong there. Last from me!

[Klatrymadon]

Klatrymadon - 4,205,550 - 5 - Wild Snail (ABC) - ShmupMAME v3.0b



Balls.

[Ed Oscuro]

Damnit - 1.7M at the flamingoes with Golden Bat (yes, I gave in), which is almost the limit - I'm under 400K for the first stage still - but don't know what the fuck to do after that, of course. Good run by previous standards, but not good enough. Then I started "experimenting" and scoring went right down the drain. Started really noticing lag, too.

Switched back to the usual Battle Garegga board; Type II's lack of option control kills it.

[bkk]

Bah.

bkk - 9,911,470 - 5 - Gain (ABC) - Garemame

KMM - 3,212,010 - 4 - Gain (C) - ShmupMAME 2.2

The circumstances for this whole tournament have been terrible for me. Case in point: when we get a game I like enough to be able to make time for, my grandpa (who's been in the hospital since before the tournament started) dies.

(Probably not going to be able to play the next game much because of that.)
