I am probably between average and passionate, but I fail using bombs, so I didn't applyu for average either. And since my reaction normally is "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, GODDAMMIT!", I checked as phased.

First one, i'm modest :lol:

Haha, not a surprise rando! :wink:

I chose the second one. Many people are better than me, but I stick to it and fight for my life until the end of time. I manage, even if it's mostly because I'm so damn stubborn.

Shouldn't the categories be, like, Training, Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, MVS? ;)

I can hold my own enough in a shmup to be competitive in a scoring contest, but I'm not Godlike. I'd say I'm more like... proficient.

I'm unable to rate myself on these categories;

I don't fall into 2 ie. "I can handle myself/a few 1CCs" (my Arcade 1CCs are just shy of 80)

Neither am I comfortable with putting my name alongside a guy who can complete a shoot'em up with 17% encroachment! (God knows what 17% encroachment is?? But it certainly sounds 'Too Cool For School' 8)) :wink:

So I voted: 6
