Penalty zone

[Captain]

I'm thinking of starting a series of videos that try to simulate the feel of Image Fight's penalty zone in other games.

So basically, I will force some cruel rules, ridiculous setups or highest difficulties in games of otherwise mediocre difficulty.

So, why is this thread here, with no existing vids or links?

Well, I have a simple question.

Would you watch it?

do futari 1.0 maniac scoring

DFK Ura 2-all with no hypers
or ketsui with no lockon shot (or no pointblanking)

You're horribly missing the point and intention, but I'll take that as a yes so far.

You mean stuff like GIL's Touhou 7 Phantasm clear with no vertical movement and his Easy clear with no horizontal movement? If so I'd love to see more stuff like that.

The funny thing about the Penalty Zone is it's actually not too difficult to meet the enemy % destroyed requirement in the first five stages in order to avoid being sent there, once you get to know the game better. It's sort of like something that was put in place to punish newbie credit feeders who may try to get through the game without killing much on their first time playing through it.

An important thing to keep in mind if you're trying to simulate it is that an area needs far more enemies than the player can possibly hope to destroy! That's the trick to tackling the Penalty Zone: you have to set aside your previous attitude of killing everything that moves and instead focus strictly on avoidance.

I like the idea, so just to answer your question : yes.

As long as you're not trying too hard to be funny, or hiding behind a fake persona, this should be fun, I feel there is a lot of lulzy gimmicks you could experiment with.

Indeed. Thanks for the responses. I will start making videos in about five days, meanwhile, keep the (sane) suggestions coming.

I don't know if it is really possible, but why not try to clear Karous without the shield nor the DFS? (the brain-shaped smart bomb)
The game is quite easy with those two tools so it fits your criteria.

I would have said Guwange without the Shikigami, but there's already a video here. I have no idea who is playing on that run though.

Penalty Zone seems to be worth it at least for loop 1 because saucy went into it for more score. He avoids it in loop 2 though, but I'm not sure if it was due to difficulty or if it isn't profitable there.
