Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
I'm surprised nobody's made this thread yet. Anyways this is the thread for setting your shmup-related goals for the year! Also I really like the format that Sapz made over at MotK so I'm going to unceremoniously copy-paste that (thank you Sapz)!
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012: As the name suggests, post the stuff you're the most proud of here, whether you're an Easy mode survival player or a Lunatic scorerunner. Anything that stands out to you is what you want here, no matter how silly it may be!
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012: This is for those very special moments when you screw up a NMNB of PCB Phantasm right near the end by, say, ramming Yukari. Whatever comedies/tragedies pop up most clearly to mind go here!
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012: Whether it's a long-time goal achieved by a close friend or a new WR set in one of your favourite games (or both at the same time!), you can post whatever stuff you enjoyed seeing other people do this year here!
Goals for 2013: What do you have your eyes set on achieving next year? List all the clears, scores, and crazy challenges you want to achieve next year here. Be ambitious!
[OPTIONAL] CHALLENGES TO OTHER PLAYERS: The fun one. Throw down the gauntlet and challenge someone else to something! This might be to beat one of your scores, or a race to a certain clear, or whatever you like. Remember to keep it a little friendly, but on the other hand, go totally nuts!
Alternatively if you want to be lazy then just post your goals for the year as usual. READY SET GO!!!

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
As for my own post:
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012: I touched on this in the 2012 thread but by far my standout achievement was my 1CC of Espgaluda II, with a score of 472 million. It's not a particularly high score compared to the good players but getting it was still a very satisfying moment. I was playing the game in a local arcade, and the PCB was scheduled to be swapped out in just a few days. At the time I still hadn't gotten a 1CC with a score I was happy with, so pulling off this run was a big weight off my shoulders.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012: I tend not to pay attention to most mistakes I make, even big ones, just because I make so many of them to be honest. If I have to say something, its that there were multiple times that I had good runs in Espgaluda II up to the last boss, but then bit the dust at the final pattern. Actually that last pattern was a wall for quite a while now that I think about it.
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012: Naturally since I was playing a lot of Espgaluda II during the first half of the year, watching Gus tear that game apart was really motivating. I always thought the current Western record for that game was pretty low, so I was really happy to see Gus improve on it. Other than that, I was happy to see RNGMaster actually follow through on his Touhou Lunatic goals, and going back and forth with Wnka in Ibara Kuro was really fun.
Goals for 2012: I told myself before that I wasn't going to set any goals for this year because I wasn't that motivated to play, but to be honest there's still a couple of things that I want to do:

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012:
1. Imperishable Night Normal 1CC. I already hear you all, "Touhou normal? HAHAHA!", but it was my first shmup 1cc, and while it didn't make me work nearly as hard as the Futari BL Original 1CC did, actually liking the game makes me value it much more.
2. Breaking 100 million in DOJBL. Didn't get the clear (more on this one...), but I at least did reach my score goal with the game.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
1. Making it to the 1-5 boss in DOJBL with 4 lives in reserve... and failing not only to get the clear, but to even use a single bomb.
That marked the start of a long downhill slide with that game for me, before I finally had to walk away.
2. Crimzon Clover, making it to the TLB with nine fucking lives in reserve and failing. Some time spent in practice mode made it clear that I wasn't going to be getting that 1CC any time, ever.
Goals for 2013:
None; any clears harder than Touhou Normal/Batrider Normal/Deathsmiles 123/Futari BL seem pretty clearly out of reach for now, which means I don't have a prayer at either of the games I'm currently playing.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012:
- 1-ALLing Ketsui. No matter how much time I put into that game, it just never wants to agree with me.
- Going back to HELLSINKER and forcing myself to learn the game before hitting that 1CC.
I've been slacking all 2012 just trying out new shmups so not much else.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
- Deathsmiles Mega Black Label 1.1, Lv.3 ALL clear going down the drain because of game over-ing on Bloody Jitterbug many times.
- The hundreds of times during 2012 that I double KO'd a boss.
- Attempting to play Soreyuke! Burunyanman HARDCORE seriously.
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012:
- Cactu's No Bomb No UFO Lunatic 1CC for UFO. Crazy achievement.
- Watching VTF-INO double-play Ikaruga.
Goals for 2013:
- Triumph over Stage 4 and get that 1CC of Mushihimesama Futari God mode
- Espgaluda 1 No Kakusei No Guard Barrier 1CC
- 1CC Dodonpachi Saidaioujou's 360 port when it comes out
- Soukyugurentai 1CC
And since Zengeku urged me a couple of times before...
- Go back to Touhou and work on a UFO Lunatic 1CC.
So here's to another year filled with frustration and sweet satisfaction.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012:
Finally clearing something after months of playing. My first clears were Futari BL Original, Deathsmiles 1 + MBL, Deathsmiles 2 and Daifukkatsu 1-All with type A, B and C. Yippie!
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
Not playing enough. The whole year I only played shmups in August and September. After not following up with another clear within a couple of weeks I stopped playing again.
Goals for 2013:
First of all I want to clear DP and DDP before SDOJ comes out. I guess I can clear DP within this month which leaves me with little time to beat DDP from stage 4 onward.
After that I'll go for some more easy clears and I definitely want to go back to Futari and beat BL Maniac AND play some Mushi HD, at least Original and Maniac in 1.0 and 1.5.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favorite Achievements of 2012:
- Live 1cc of Dragon Spirit (AC): when I had last left off in Dragon Spirit, I was getting crushed by the final stages. (more than a year ago?) Specifically the underwater and dark stages. I did make it to the last stage on my last attempt but for some reason I had decided to move on from the clear and attempt other games. Finally, I put the game on a bucket list of "unfinished 1cc's to GET" and nailed it with flying colors. It just makes me happy to best a classic such as Dragon Spirit. BEST DRAGON GAME!
- Like I say, I made a bucket-list of 'to-1cc' games and Plus Alpha was another one I needed to get. Similarly to Dragon Spirit I was able to reach the last stage and deserted the game. The last boss was perhaps the trickiest part of the run but finally buckled down to some savestate practice and figured it out.
- I caught myself by surprise and 1cc'd DoDonPachi on ookatepanda's candy cab and PCB. I had only played a handful of credits prior to the two I had at his place. Came out of the last boss with no lives and no bombs remaining, a "mission complete" you might say. I also consider this a favorite moment as getting to hang out with ookatepanda and fellow Minnesota shmupper's was a great delight for me this Summer. Shout outs to those guys! (most of whom won't read this -_-)
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
- also @ ookatepanda's, on the last form of the last boss in Espgaluda and losing 2 or 3 lives. I swear, I could have had it, but I had that self-conscious "Choke!" moment and it fell apart in front of me. I know it's a tough pattern but I felt like I had it, then my heart was broken; to form an analogy.\
- Fighting games stealing me from STG! Though, I did make a few bucks playing Street Fighter 4... (I play Rose)
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012:
- Tvspelsfreak breaking 10M+ in Hishouzame (Flying Shark) -- an unruly 7 hour credit that was surely chock full of beautiful old school slowdown.
- Everyone who got their socks blown off by Air Gallet in the trap-STGT.
Goals for 2013:
- 1cc Ketsui in some fashion.
- 1cc Dragon Saber (SHUT UP! I WILL DO IT!)
- 1cc all of the arcade TwinBee games
- Check out the Star Soldier series
- Make STG Weekly a show people can fondly look forward to.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012:
Getting my first Cave 1cc. It was Deathsmiles but it still felt awesome.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
I suck at Guwange but the XBOX 360 Arrange is a pretty good time waster and I still haven't 1cc'ed that mode. No missed all the way to the last boss and he annihilates me every. Single. Time...
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012:
Aquas and crew starting the STG Weekly series. It's good entertainment. Some complain that they don't go too in depth or don't do live runs, but to a casual shmupper like me it's great information and good entertainment.
Also have to mention Hydeux and his 1-sissy videos. Great showcases of how to 'easily' or most effectively get that 1cc/1st loop clear in cave games. They helped me get a 1cc in Deathsmiles
Goals for 2013:
Get a 1cc in the XBOX 360 Arrange mode of Guwange
Buy Dodonpachi Saidaioujou
1cc Under Defeat
better keep it simple this time

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
I didn't play much during 2012 due to finally getting internet and spending most of my gaming time with Super Turbo on GGPO. So my main goal is still getting that Sengoku Blade 2-ALL. I'm starting to play it regularly again so I hope it doesn't take too long.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favorite Achievement:
I was pretty lazy in 2012.
Personal Biggest Screw up:
When I did NMNB of Futari God Mode's stage 1, 2, and 3 all in a row then game overing on the stage 4 boss without using any bombs on the credit. And for a fitting end to such a fail run, it was on the opener.
Favorite Achievement from others:
Gus Ultra 1cc
Goals for 2013:
Futari Black Label God Mode 1cc
Futari Black Label God Mode Spiritual Larsa 1cc
Judgment SilverSword Hard Mode 1cc with default ship
Judgment SilverSword Special Mode clear with default ship
1cc ESPGaluda II since I didn't spend time on that game in 2012
1cc Muchi Muchi Pork 1.01 because I didn't really spend time on it in 2012, then maybe go for Harahara if I do that quickly enough.
Try to figure out how Akai Katana works and also 1cc it since I only just got it recently.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
GOALS 2013:
-Maybe finally 2-ALL dojbl
-SDOJ hibachi clear / expert clear (assuming the port is alright)
-Get to hibachi (ura) in DFK
CHALLENGES TO OTHER PLAYERS:
Someone beat my lousy B-strong dfk score, I don't deserve to be 1st.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
It would have already happened if I didn't absolutely hate the Ura requirement and the loop. I did know how to chain most of stage 5, but needed some better tactics for the final laser wheel section to make it more likely. There's a reason I didn't put DFK Hibachi on my list.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Get to stage 5 in DOJBL on a 1CC attempt. Ideally, I'd reach and clear the boss, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Not even going to push so hard for clearing the first loop. I just want to reach this.

Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.
Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012:
Definitely has to be clearing Ketsui, and also clearing Dodonpachi after going on and off with that for 7 years.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
Double KO'ing on Dimahoo's Gigafacer causing me to break my precious pad controller that had done me good for a couple years
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012:
MMM clearing Ketsui
Gus clearing Futari Ultra
Someone clearing Futari Ultra with Ab.Reco
For the last two categories I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting so I'll go back and tweak them if I need.
Goal for 2013:
There is only one goal I have this year that acts as a primary over anything else. Whether or not I can figure out how to do it is still a mystery but I'm close to figuring out all the secrets:
Beat the listed WR score for Trigon
If I manage to beat it I want to go back and clear:
BWR Hell
MoF Lunatic MarisaA
Futari Original 400M+ Ab.Reco

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012: I honestly don't think I did anything noteworthy last year. I was pleased with my performance in STGT'12 and TRP-STGT. Um... maybe getting to the second loop of Strikers 1999 after about 8-10 hours of play? I'm seriously getting worse at these games, lol.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012: Trying to do STG of the Month. Started off pretty well, but the lack of interest makes me lose my motivation to keep it going or even really play the games (not that I've needed an excuse lately).
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012: Gus clearing Futari Ultra.
Goals for 2013: Actually play some games.

1-ALL Ketsui

1CC Mushihimesama Futari BL Maniac
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
Actually recorded the run that ended up being my 1-ALL of Ketsui by pointing my iPhone at my cab. My wife was out of town and gave me a call during my run, which stopped the recording in the middle of stage 4. Protip: if you’re going to record something important on your iPhone, turn on airplane mode, otherwise a phone call will stop recording.
Also, I loaned my Ibara Kuro PCB to our local arcade so that others could play it. Marus and I were going back and forth with scores but he ended up at #1 and still holds the top spot on my board. Embarrassing.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012:
My Harmful Park Normal 10 mil score and/or my Score Attack 2.6 mil score. Doubling the previous high score on the forums? Damn that felt good.
I also cleared Lotus Land Story Lunatic, which was neat because now I can say that I have cleared a Touhou on Lunatic.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
Can't remember anything specific. My Harmful Park record is a non-clear, which was kind of embarassing... and cost me at least 50k.
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012:
The forum reached some awesome milestones - multiple DOJBL 2-ALLs, a Futari Ultra clear, a Homura WR. And I'm probably forgetting a few.
Goals for 2013:
Not sure what I want to do. I'd like to clear out a few Cave clears - Ketsui 1-ALL, Deathsmiles 2, Muchi Muchi Pork. I've considered going back to Espgaluda Arrange and going for the clear, but that feel like it's kind of out there. Had my eye on Cotton 2/Boomerang, maybe I'll take that up.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favorite Achievements of 2012:
- Blue Wish Resurrection Hell ALL! 1cc. This is one that I wanted to get since I started playing bullet hells just two and a half years ago; finally getting the clear made me feel totally badass.
- Getting the second score extend in MushiFutari Maniac. Yeah, it's not a clear, but seriously, getting that extend takes some dedication.
Personal Biggest Screw-up of 2012:
- In the run I mentioned above in which I got the second score extend in MushiFutari, I made it to Queen Larsa and then proceeded to die to her opener, an attack I typically perfect in practice mode. Pretty sure that cost me the 1cc.
Favorite Achievements by Others of 2012:
- This one is purely selfish, but Jaimers's Ura 2-ALL of My Little Pegasus: Kizuna DoPonyPachi is probably my favorite thing someone else did this year, because it felt like an achievement for myself as a game designer, that I made a shmup fun enough to put any kind of dedication into. Also Jaimers is something of an inspiration to me anyway.
- Gus's 1cc of MushiFutari Ultra deserves a mention because seriously.
Goals for 2013:
- 1cc MushiFutari Maniac.
- 1cc DoTonPachi Maximum.
- Beat Doom in DoDonPachi Maximum. I doubt I'll get this one because his final attack is bullshit.
- 1cc DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012: Getting a 1CC on Mushi Futari was pretty sweet. That one was a couple of years in the making. Also, getting a 1-ALL on Daioujou was great. I can't believe how far I've come from when I started playing these games.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012: I game over'd on the last bullet of the final boss' survival attack in Ikaruga. I was able to regroup and beat the game on my next attempt, though.
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012: Iconolast getting the Xbox 360 record on Mushi Futari God Mode.
Goals for 2013: I dunno, I've done the two big ones I really wanted to do but here's a few more: DoDonPachi Saidaioujou, Ketsui, and Mushi Futari BL Maniac.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012:
I cleared a lot of stuff this year. I gave up on other genres all together and focused all my gaming efforts on shmups. Most of the clears aren't any notable whatsoever, and I have no high scores to my name yet. The one great thing I did was the no-focus, no-charge, constant-shooting Lunatic 1cc of PoFV with all characters. It was incredibly difficult and I'm proud of this achievement.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012:
During my UFO Lunatic 1cc attempts, I got hit by an off screen amulet at the final attack in the game.
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012:
Naut and Zil's DOJ 2-ALLs. Azinth's S99 score. Don't keep up with all the stuff that happens here so I'm sure I forgot a lot of good achievements.
EDIT: I knew I forgot something important, Saucykobold's Sexy Paro score! Goddamn amazing run!
Goals for 2013:
Playing Touhou on Lunatic. PCB: I got 1,2b, want at least 1,5b but probably more. EoSD: I got 248m, want at least 300m. UFO: Nothing here yet. Want at least 1b. GFW: I got 81m, want 100m. This is the hardest one.
Minor goals includes letter score in Batrider, Mars Matrix 1cc, RayForce 1cc, Learning DOJ chaining, Sexy Parodius 1cc, and a major improvement to my S45ii score, but not quite a 2-ALL because that seems too distant and requires too much effort.
CHALLENGES TO OTHER PLAYERS:
Play Touhou for score on Lunatic before you denounce the games.

Personal Favourite Achievements of 2012: 1CC Deathsmiles 1.1, All Level 3
This is a given. It took Months, But I Loli'd Up and GOT IT DONE! At Long last, my first taste of Victory
over Tyranosatan.. However, I didn't post that run, as the one where I failed had a higher score.
Even so, Many More Modes await, but you've gotta start somewhere, and I've taken my first
step towards working to a higher score. Very Proud of that one!
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012: ANY Screw up on Stage 1, Any given CAVE game
Urrrrrrggggggghhhhh.... don't you just LOVE it when you pop in a quarter and then ram into a random bullet while chaining?
Favourite Achievements by Others of 2012: The Winner of STGT Week 1, Azinth
You, Good Friend, Can Inspire Someone to Appreciate What Psikyo Brought to the industry.
Congratulations on the No-Miss 9 Bomb Clear! I bet it was the greatest feeling in the world to get
that huge endgame bonus as a reward for such a feat!
Goals for 2013: Figuring out the 2nd Loop of DoDonPachi.
I'll Get you Yet, BEEEEEEES! That Stage 2-3 can't Hold me down Forever!

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favorite Achievements of 2012: I didn't achieve any of the goals I set for the year, so nothing really to add here. The only game I played for any length of time was SDOJ, so I guess I'm pleased to have done as well as I did playing the game entirely in the arcades without the comforts of an emulated or ported version.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012: Not even triggering Hibachi in SDOJ despite clearing the game probably 40 times.
Favorite Achievements by Others of 2012: Lots of good scores by others on the forums that have already been mentioned, but I'd also like to add Erppo's recent 700 billion DFK score. Also watching SPS at the arcade destroy Ketsui. Probably the most heinous display of skill I've ever witnessed.
Goals for 2013: I'll keep it simple and go for one: 2-ALL Muchi Pork 1.0.
CHALLENGES TO OTHER PLAYERS: Someone should 2-ALL DOJ WL already.

Re: Shmup Goals 2013 - Recollection and Resolution
Personal Favorite Achievements of 2012: I didn't play much shmups this year and was mostly busy with other rl stuff. Strikers 1945 2-ALL came just in time, so I don't have much to choose from.
Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2012: Too many to count. Not participating at STGT was really regrettable. It wouldn't have made anything different though. TiH is an ace team.
Favorite Achievements by Others of 2012: Homura WR by abschüssig, Futari Ultra 1cc by GUS, Futari BL God 5,6bill by iconoclast, Ketsui Ura 2-ALL by MrMonkeyMan, Ketsui 412mill by x91, Zero Gunner 2 3,1mill by Rob, DOJ BL 2,1bill 2-ALL ProMeTheus, Strikers 99 3,1mill 2-ALL by Azinth, Radiant Silvergun Stage 2 21,6mill by ben-shinobi, Pink Sweets 9,7mill by ebarrett
Goals for 2013: Play more shmups again! Other than that I want the top spot for Ibara back and at least 20mill in Batrider Advanced. If I can find a Donpachi PCB, I want at least 30mill+ with a 2-ALL. Another Psikyo 2-ALL would be nice aswell.
CHALLENGES TO OTHER PLAYERS: Someone needs to clear Pink Sweets!
