STG Thread Stage 4 ~ Like the Night of Hunting Bees

[Aisha]

Wait, what's bad about Dimahoo again?

It's better than Dodonpachi. :V

Not enough bees.

[Bananamatic]

There are bees. With detachable stingers. Which explode. Into bullets.

And one shottype is named the same as a porn site. And we are great.

[KOA]

The Genius of Battle.

And one shottype is named the same as a porn site. And we are great.

Elaborate.

[Bananamatic]

protip: don't play shmups at 4 am

[Azinth]

IF I HADN'T LOST MY CHAIN AT THE STAGE 5 BOSS I WOULD'VE EASILY BEATEN MY SCORE

IF I HADN'T FUCKED UP ALL THE EASY PARTS IN STAGE 6 I WOULD'VE EASILY 1CC'D

FUCKING GUHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG

[Aisha]

Yeah, but are they on fire? :V

Hasn't played Daisakusen more than twice.

[Bananamatic]

Yeah, but are they on fire? :V

ok you win

still, why is the warrior named Solo-Bang

[Alice Fact]

the standard ROM floating around on the internet defaults to Europe for some reason

more like lol mamedev, see also twingalaxies and their refusal to play anything beyond garegga type.2

the Europe-licensed version lacks the critical Extends Every 1Mil option which makes the game actually interesting and fun

Also the European setting actually has a different rank setup from the Japan setting; some of the other region settings do this too.

A game like Air Gallet I found to be really painful to play due to how quickly I had to tap the shot button to do any real damage

Actually, autofire in Air Gallet is bad, and you don't have to tap the button particularly fast. Hmm...

Wait, what's bad about Dimahoo again?

It's better than Dodonpachi. :V

ahahahahaha

hahaHAHAHhahaha

hah.

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

[Aisha]

Twin Galaxies is weird. According to them, the "world" record for DoDonPachi is only 15,161,480. :V

[Alice Fact]

They hate Arcadia and want nothing to do with them. They blame it on the language barrier.

[LtC]

That said, can anyone recommend a low-difficulty shmup with lots of explosions so I can blow shit up and relax

Kamui and RefleX (Vertical), G-Darius and Border Down (Horizontal).

Like once a second. You're not 80 years old are you?

[Aisha]

Like once a second. You're not 80 years old are you?

Mm.. I just went and checked and I guess I didn't understand how Air Gallet's shot worked during the (very) few times I've played it. When I gave the game a go during the SotW I kept seeing gaps in my shot's stream and figured that I wasn't hitting the shot button fast enough, which led to tiring my finger out.

[Bananamatic]

ahahahahaha

hahaHAHAHhahaha

hah.

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

I don't have an idea what are YOU talking about :V

EDIT: Baity stop lurking and join the fun

[Helion]

Dodonpachi makes me suicidal from stage 4 onwards. Still, I manage to 1cc till stage 5 sometimes :smug:

[Sen]

"Oh cool, perfected DoDonPachi Stages 1 and 2, then ND2B Stage 3! This is going pretty we-"

*DIES THREE TIMES IN THE FIRST TEN SECONDS OF STAGE 4*

[Bananamatic]

St4 is actually easier than st3 imo.

[An Odd Sea Slug]

St4 is actually easier than st3 imo.

I really have to agree with this.

[Bananamatic]

Except for the boss. Second hardest in the game.

[Helion]

Still pretty fun, once you destroy the first part.

[Sen]

St4 is actually easier than st3 imo.

It wasn't really a difficulty-related thing, more of a "I spaced out for a second and died three times in succession" thing.

[lmagus]

I nearly broke my SF4 T-E today when I died to post stage 3 mid-boss mass bullet spam in Futari Black Label Maniac =(

I gave up on touhou because I broke 9, nine keyboards and a table, including some expensive Logitech, and swore that I'd never break my T-E cause it costs 40 times what a keyboard does...

Almost broke my promise today =(

Fuck I need some medicine for my anger.

So far, I only cracked one controller and it was an old one at that.
I blame DMC3.

but I broke 4 chairs

EDIT: WAIT HOW DO YOU BREAK A TABLE

[lmagus]

cheap thin fake wood table meant to hold monitor + speakers + keyboard temporarily. grabbed the keyboard and smashed it against tha table when i game overed on yuyuko lunatic for the 3498759857th time

[Bananamatic]

Wait so you broke a table...with a keyboard? :V

also, don't chase 1ccs, let 1ccs come to you

[lmagus]

i also punched it....

well i can't even 1cc touhou on hard anymore, so i guess it just won't happen

besides, now i have this wireless keyboard which sucks to play because it lags, so no worries!

[Bananamatic]

repetition leads to failure, failure leads to hardware failure

[lmagus]

He's quite a lot worse than me hahahaha

[Matsuri]

oh hahaha I forgot to close the scoreboard

Tallying scores now

[Matsuri]

A nice turnout this week. Congrats to shadowbringer for the #1 spot!

[Bananamatic]

So what will be the next week like?  Any themes? :V
