Re: 11th Annual Top 25 Shmups of All Time - Results
It would make sense to set a rule as to what defined a different game. Maybe, if the board is released, and not as a revision to a current game, then it is separate (Futari 1.01 and 1.5 would then be the same game, BL would not be)
As it stands, it feels like one person's opinion has decided how the poll will go, even though that opinion is subjective.

What would be wrong with putting it to a vote?

The majority is often dumb, that is what is wrong.

False sense of elitism or sarcasm aside; if this is vote is for the general population of shmuppers on this site....then what would the problem be?
Re: 11th Annual Top 25 Shmups of All Time - Results
Exactly what I said. If the results are anything to go by, the average voter here is unqualified to make that decision.

I doubt the qualifications should be set based on your own personal bias; however it is unfortunate that all beings on this board cannot universally agree with you. (Or any one person for that matter).

Hey Nifty, how long would it take for you to figure out what DaiFukkatsu would have scored if the black label had been combined with it? (for curiosity's sake).
I understand if you don't want to hassle with that though.

Pretty decent overall this year, even though I forgot to vote.
Futari above Ketsui
Ketsui above DOJ and DDP
Deathsmiles above Akai Katana and R-Type
RFJ above DX
Espgaluda, SDOJ, Gunbird 2, and Mars Matrix in the top 25
Treasure almost pushed out of the top 10
Good stuff.

I'm pretty sure Galuda II and Galuda II BL counted as the same for this, if they were split like DFK was, I would have voted for both of them.
But I don't know how the Galuda II votes would have gone if it were split like the DFK games.

Re: 11th Annual Top 25 Shmups of All Time - Results
So does Ketsuipachi arrange go under DFK Black Label because it was part of the physical release? Not exactly a serious question, but there is simple so much wrong with why you'd separate any mode/releases/updates/etc of a specific title. Yes a vote for Ibara or Ibara Kuro should count towards the same game. After all, it is a reprogrammed Ibara board which were used to create Kuro

Re: 11th Annual Top 25 Shmups of All Time - Results
My Ibara original board was reprogrammed from Futari from factory. Does that make Ibara and Futari the same game?

What about all three different modes in Mars Matrix? Elite Mode A is a very different game than the arcade version. Different enemies, attack patterns, set pieces, etc.....
Re: 11th Annual Top 25 Shmups of All Time - Results
All I know is, separate Futari and Black Label and everything currently under spot two is going down a notch. So just leave it as is. We know the whole event is a bit stupid anyway.

R-Type Leo is really close to breaking into the honorable mentions!
I feel bad for Gallop. It doesn't deserve to be at the very, very bottom. Almost voted for it too

Thanks Nifty.
I like the event. Not so much because of the results it produces, but moreso because of the individual lists it's luring out.
I've started my list and will vote next time, too.

Re: 11th Annual Top 25 Shmups of All Time - Results
Gallop is missing a vote from me too, the gameplay works for me and it's probably IREM's best when it comes to music in that hardware era, good tracks that go for as long as a minute and a half and plenty of them too, utterly destroys R-Type II's 10 second loops anyway.God wrote:R-Type Leo is really close to breaking into the honorable mentions!

After this year's success of getting RayForce back on the spot (and I enjoy the increased activity in the scoreboard thread), I guess next year I'll have to campaign for Mars Matrix ( ), Darius Gaiden, and the Thunder Force series.

Cool forum. Just for fun, here's the list if you eliminate any game made after 1995. (1995 is mostly arbitrary but I have my reasons... well, basically it's when I stopped visiting arcades regularly and before bullet hells became the norm.)
Code: Select all
