Shoot Em Up Tournament ||

[wolfman24]

yes i mean arcade by mention mame

[wolfman24]

autofire is allowed, seems like not many people like non mame games so going to switch back to mame only, think that is all i wanted to mention

[Yazphier]

Me and Hiki are definitly going to pilot some lolis for Team Ryd n' Awesome

[Despatche]

there is absolutely no point in limiting autofire. if you're going to allow it at all (and you should), you may as well let people go nuts.

Using (unlimited) autofire is the standard of the genre and has been for as long as I'm aware of. Score records generally display no-autofire as a special category and not the other way around.

and that's really fucking retarded if true; no, i don't believe it. the lack of autofire, in a game that isn't supposed to have autofire, is the default. again, autofire wasn't a standard for the longest time, and i just mean autofire on games that don't normally have it (autofire as part of game design is obvious enough). back in the '80s and even the early '90s, takahashi meijin's challenge meant something. it still does today, to the right people. you want real cts? go play cookie clicker, without trying to cheese the fuck out of it.

hagane, i feel that autofire for fighting games and beat-em-ups should be treated just like autofire in any type of game; it's a separate thing and should be treated as such.

you guys are too cute.

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

KAI and I chose the Demons of Razgriz as our team name.

[system11]

Not entering, would be pointless since I have nothing that can run MAME anymore for anything more demanding than porno Qix games or pool simulations, even if my skills were up to it (and they aren't).

Remember to bring the trophy home guys

[charlie chong]

i might enter if autofire is allowed. i already have terrible carpal syndrome(ketsui claw) from doing the empty lock on ketsui for 2 months.still hurts now and i was playing it 3 or 4 years ago

[wolfman24]

autofire is allowed

[Aleksei]

I just though of a name for a team, GaijinBros, don't steal it, unless you want to partner up with me

[wolfman24]

I did some rough estimate today of the length of the contest with the number of players so far the longest the contest will run will be to april is everyone ok with that?

That's fine with me and my teammate.

[wolfman24]

this is going to be the game list in no order

Seeder rounds:
Gradius
Salamander
Flying Shark

Main rounds:
Dodonpachi Daioujou (or dodonpachi if too many people can't run it full speed)
Mahou Daisakusen
19XX The War Against Destiny
Darius
R-Type II
RayForce
Super Cobra
Gokujou Parodius/ sexy Parodius
obligatory Battle Garegga/Batrider

the four options for double eliminations is going to be
1.all teams in 1 bracket
2. all teams split in 2 brackets
3. all teams split in 4 brackets
4. set number of teams in 1 bracket

i am either going to go with option 2 or 3 since i am not a fan of 4

[Jaimers]

What version of Dodonpachi Daioujou will we be playing?

The Black Label version is regarded by everyone as the more polished, better balanced and overall superior version of Daioujou, so I would suggest that version.

[wolfman24]

yeah we can play the black label i forgot there was different kinds

[saucykobold]

I'd like to recommend that you go with the Japanese version of R-Type II. It's tougher and more fun than the Western versions, which are missing a bunch of enemies, booooo.

[wolfman24]

i might need more games so if that is the case these will be the extras
1945k 3
Twin Bee Yahhoo
Wyvern Wings
Cosmo Gang the Video
Dangerous Seed
Mazinger Z

[wolfman24]

rayforce is being replaced with Gunlock
and Dodonpachi Daioujou with dodonpachi

[Blinge]

is black label on mame?

[xfullmetal17]

Count me in, and I'd also be more than willing to stream my plays.

If it's all MAME stuff, would there be links to download whatever the game of the round is? (also instructions for setting up MAME, since I'm sure we'd want universal settings for everyone playing)

[wolfman24]

all mame games, default settings and autofire if you want to use it. if you need the roms send me a pm since i think i am not allowed to post it in the thread.

[wolfman24]

black label is mame

[xfullmetal17]

I can probably track most of them down okay.

One note of concern: this is starting right in the middle of SDA's AGDQ marathon. Dunno how many here would be watching, but just in case...

[Legendary Hoamaru]

Yea I'll join as well. Gotta mix up the STG palette for a bit.

[saucykobold]

[xfullmetal17]

Having issues getting MAME to accept some ROMs...
Salamander is whining about missing files, but I dunno, maybe I have a bad zip or something.

Is there a 143u9 build floating around that might work better than the newest one?

[wolfman24]

you might need the neo geo bios for it
