[Ruldra]

Raizing Week: Batrider (Dimahoo plz)
Last Year's Straggler Week: RFJ or Varth
Psikyo Week: Sengoku Blade
Hidden Gem Week: Cybattler
DRAGON Week: Dragon Breed

[crithit5000]

DRAGON Week: Cyvern

As much as I like Cyvern, I'm not playing it for competition again. Anyways:

Raizing Week: Mahou Daisakusen
Last Year's Straggler Week: Raiden Fighters Jet
Psikyo Week: Gunbird 2
Hidden Gem Week: Captain Tomaday (I kid, I have no clue)
Dragon Week: Please not Cyvern

[nZero]

Raizing Week: Battle Garegga
Last Year's Straggler Week: Raiden Fighters Jet or whatever nomltest won against
Psikyo Week: Dragon Blaze
Hidden Gem Week: Ashura Blaster
DRAGON Week: Battle Garegga (Miyamoto-only)

[antron]

Raizing Week: Dimahoo
#
#
Hidden Gem Week: Dimahoo
DRAGON Week: Dimahoo (Miyamoto-only)

[emphatic]

Hidden gem week: Darwin 4078

[Danbo]

after having practiced garegga for score for about a month the reasonable conclusion is that raizing week will be any game except battle garegga. and that's really the only decent prediction i can offer...

[Twiddle]

Raizing Week: Beastorizer
Last Year's Straggler Week: esprade
Psikyo Week: Battle K-Road
Hidden Gem Week: Eight Forces
DRAGON Week: Dragon Spirit

[DMC]

Strategy section week: Garegga
F3 week: RFJ
Cave abstinence week: Dragon Blaze
Hidden for a reason week: Eight Force
Let's find the Dragon week: Thunder Dragon 2.

Let's guess what game most people will complain about.

"I can't see the bullets"
"I hate the birds"
"I would have voted on a bad game, because everyone else is already good at this"

[Warp_Rattler]

Raizing Week: Ibara.

Y'all see what I did there?

[Ed Oscuro]

Raizing Week: Beastorizer
Last Year's Straggler Week: esprade
Psikyo Week: Battle K-Road
Hidden Gem Week: Eight Forces
DRAGON Week: Dragon Spirit

What no Dragon Breed?

Also, I chose Thunder Dragon 2 for "Last Year's Straggler Weak"

Raizing Week: Ibara.

Y'all see what I did there?

Raizing / Eighting / Whatevering makes my brain hurt and I refuse to memorize the evolution of the brand

Also, non-MAME, not that it invalidates the choice but y'know

[Rob]

What no Dragon Breed?

Yes yes yes. Please let there be some stupid 16-bit style games. I want the top scores to all be 100 points apart. Then Dimahoo.

[bsidwell]

Raizing Week: Battle Garegga
Last Year's Stragglers Week: Thunder Dragon 2
Hidden Gem Week: Section Z
The rest: No idea.

[VorpalEdge]

And Battle Garegga will be the two-week-long week at the very end, of course.

Did I really just say 'two-week-long week'?

[Limbrooke]

Hidden Gem Week: Eight Forces

The game to end all STGTs. The replays from this would be kickass.

Also, Dimahoo(Brave Blade) for Raizing week.

[Dale]

No more Old school week(I've been out of the loop for awhile I think)?

[Sandlegs]

oh my lord, not eight forces. i like games where you can actually destroy enemies.

also, dimahoo for raizing week.

[unsane]

Raizing Week: Battle Bakraid/Armed Police Batrider
Last Year's Straggler Week: Raiden Fighters Jet
Psikyo Week: Strikers 1945 II
Hidden Gem Week: R-Type Leo
DRAGON Week: Dragon Blaze

I picked the games i really enjoy and have played a lot (except Hidden Gem Week, i've not played many hidden gems). Here's hoping i'm right on most so i can score decently.

[Dragoforce]

I am quite sure that I will kill myself and the people around me if Eight Forces is selected.

+1 for RFJ though.

[Plasmo]

I enjoyed Eight Forces during Macaw's tournament, but I'd kill myself nevertheless if it gets selected again.

[Twiddle]

the people who think dimahoo has fewer obscure score-inflating secrets that are a pain in the ass to pull off than garegga or batrider are deluding themselves hth

[sunburstbasser]

My choices:


Raizing Week: Battle Bakraid
Last Year's Straggler Week: don't recall any besides Strikers 1999 and Garegga
Psikyo Week: Gunbird 2 preferably
Hidden Gem Week: Lethal Thunder
DRAGON Week: Cyvern

[Enhasa]

I love making pointless lists. The weeks will be in some different order, since there's no way we're starting out BG + RFJ. Also the Hidden Gem should be BOOGIE WINGS, rip cybernator5000


My guesses:

Raizing - Battle Garegga
Straggler - Raiden Fighters Jet
Psikyo - Strikers 1945 II/III (would be Dragon Blaze but we just played that in the last SDA tourney although he might just pick it anyway)
Hidden Gem - Varth
Dragon - Thunder Dragon 2


What Mike would pick if he wanted us to beat Cowboy Team:

Raizing - Mahou Daisakusen
Straggler - Raiden Fighters Jet
Psikyo - Dragon Blaze
Hidden Gem - Twinkle Star Sprites
Dragon - Dragon Blaze again, er I mean TSS with Load Ran


What I'd most like to play at this moment:

Raizing - Soukyugurentai
Straggler - Varth
Psikyo - Gunbird 2
Hidden Gem - Granada
Dragon - Hellsinker


What I'd pick if it was up to me (and I'm a nice guy who would preserve VorpalEdge and others' non-hatred of RFJ):

Raizing - Battle Garegga
Straggler - Varth
Psikyo - Strikers 1945 II
Hidden Gem - Sexy Parodius or V-V
Dragon - Dragon Blaze

[unsane]

Which week do ppl think will be the 2-week game? Psikyo? hahaha if only.

[sikraiken]

The list is up to date. If you aren't correctly listed under each week just tell me what to change.

Two-week game is definitely Battle Garegga.

[mrtie]

Raizing Week: Battle Bakraid
Last Year's Straggler Week: Raiden Fighters Jet
Psikyo Week: S1945II
Hidden Gem Week: Judgement Silversword( I know it's not mame but it's not any harder to set up and frankly it rocks.)
DRAGON Week: Dragonblaze

[Enhasa]

Not that it really matters, but I was hedging on which Strikers earlier. If you forced me to pick one I would def go with III cuz it has medals and technical bonus and shit. STGT2009: Year of the Medals and Obscure Tricks and Shit That Will Make People Who Only Like Certain Games because Other People Do and They're Sycophants and Maybe the Music but When They Find Out the Ugly Truth and Actually Have to Play for Score They Will Hate Them Week! I think I said week twice.

[undamned]

Raizing Week: Soukyugurentai
Last Year's Straggler Week: Ray Force
Psikyo Week: Strikers 1945 II
Hidden Gem Week: Omega Fighter
DRAGON Week: Dragon Breed

-ud

[1up]

Raizing Week: Battle Bakraid (already played batirder I think)
Last Year's Straggler Week: Raiden Fighters Jet
Psikyo Week: Strikers 1945 II (most popular?)
Hidden Gem Week: Pop n Twinbee
DRAGON Week: Dragon Breed

[sikraiken]

Main post updated. About an hour and a half until the first game is announced.
