Where's all the people?

[PAPER/ARTILLERY]

I'll post a score tomorrow. Just spent my first few hours with this game and it's damn fun. Keep getting too cocky with the close range attacks and messing myself up though.

[heisenbergman]

Where's all the people?

I'm guessing most are put off by the non-team non-STGT format. I'd be stoked to have 50 participants, 40 would be great as well, 30 would be okay, 20 would warrant trying this out at least one more time... 10 players would be bad Haha.

I'll post a score if I break 300K

First 1-ALL basically.
Died in 1-3 lol.

I streamed it so here's that. http://www.twitch.tv/okina_flying_fantastica/c/3108956

Things got messy. So so messy.

So much room for improvement (like getting to stage 5 for once), but I'll have to go on a trip for the next days, so I'll just leave this score here. The game is incredibly and I'll probably keep playing even after this week is over (although after seeing how crazy it gets on Zil's replay, I have no hope of ever clearing it).

[Despatche]

whoa, so soon. sure, i'll play in a bit.

though now i kinda wanna see people suffer with xx mission (it's actually pretty fun, it's basically what 1942 should have been)

[DocHauser]

Where's Zil from? According to the Hall of Records thread, the Western record is only 2.7million and he's just posted a 2.9million score.

[Zil]

I have a past with Touhou. I've been playing GB2 recently though.

That 2.7m is outdated actually, since Azinth has over 3m now.

[Jaimers]

If you ever wonder how someone is good it's usually that they've played Touhou before.

[DocHauser]

Ah, so it's not the record. Still, impressive score though...

Anyway, my own mediocre effort:

[PAPER/ARTILLERY]

Well I said i'd post a score so here it is, hoping to get plenty more hours in this week and get those gem heads nailed down for a bit of a boost.

Not sure if a running tally was posted for old tournaments/competitions, but I just posted a running tally for this one on the OP.

Around four more days to go.

If we want to update our scores would it be better for us to edit our original post, or just post again with the same format?

Man, why did I use Alucard before? Tavia is so much easier. I may try to improve this later in the week.

Bah, I love this game just as much as I suck at it.
Too lazy to upload the photo right now. I'll probably break at least 600k, so I'm gonna post one later.

[heisenbergman]

Roughly a little bit over two more days to go for this Not sure if I can do any better but I may try again.

[PAPER/ARTILLERY]

Made a little improvement, pretty sure I can clear 500,000 at least by the end of the week.

Dammit! Could have made it to stage 7 as I had two bombs for the 2nd part of stage 6 boss left. Used them on the first two patterns because I can't dodge those yet, but the rest wouldn't have been too much of a problem. Unfortunately I used my 2nd bomb in the worst place possible making it impossible to dodge the first lasers, just because Morrigan can't move her ass while bombing.

Well at least a new personal best, that's nice for sure.
Don't know if I'm going to play tomorrow, so this is probably the final score.

Okay I lied I put in some actual effort.
