STG THREAD 5 WAS PREPARED WITH MUCH TROUBLE. YOU DO WHAT.

[Matsuri]

Looks like we're playing some Dangun Feveron.

*sets up scoreboard*

[Matsuri]

Up and running.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Eh, Feveron is nice too. However I'm gonna repeat Guxt until we play it even if it takes me years of yelling.

[Sapz]

Ketsui attempt #1

>Game over on the Stage 2 boss.

@_@ Hoooooooooly shit.

[Bananamatic]

how the fuck does one get 1200 disco men at st3

[lmagus]

Ketsui attempt #1

>Game over on the Stage 2 boss.

@_@ Hoooooooooly shit.

I told you so!

My first game over was there too =D

A few days with the game I got to the 4th stage once today.

[lumber_of_the_beast]

After a full hour of trying, I had yet to get the bare minimum of points needed to actually make it onto the scoreboard.

Yet another week I won't be participating. Sigh.

[Azinth]

Oh shit, I had thought of that but completely forgot to bring it up.  It actually is pretty hard to get on the default scoreboard in this game.  That could be a problem. :ohdear:

[Sapz]

Continuespammed through Ketsui's Tsuujou loop and felt like an Easy mode player trying to beat Lunatic. Even 2-1 absolutely destroyed me... thinking about Ura is extremely worrying. :V Man, I'm really starting to see why people consider Touhou such easy 1ccs compared to most other things. This game is utterly insane.

[Third Eye Lem]

I tried to play through Shuusou Gyoku today, and boy do I suck at it. =P I can't even get past the beginning of stage four. @_@ Even on easy mode, I can't dodge for crap and VIVIT's shots are a bit on the weak side.

[Erppo]

Spent a while with Dangun Feveron and almost reached 2M. Anything beyond that seems pretty much unreachable, since like half of the score seems to come from end stage bonuses and I really can't see myself beating stage 4.

[lumber_of_the_beast]

Grid Wars 2 next week y/n

[Matsuri]

I was just about to suggest that next week's theme should be 'shmups that start with 'G'.'

[Aisha]

Giga Wing for sure then. :V

[Azinth]

'shmups that start with 'G' and rhyme with 'Wang'.'

amirite

edit:  what the fuck was that shit how in the blue blazes did i not beat my score that was the best first 4 stages i've ever done

stupid stage 5

[Matsuri]

Guxt, Guwange, Gekirindan. I'm all for any of those

[Aisha]

Giga Wing also starts with 'G' and rhymes with 'Wang'.  :ohdear:

[Matsuri]

But I don't want to play Giga Wing.

[Sapz]

Hmmmm. I'm thinking a lot of the difficulty in this game is not so much that it's hard (although it really, really is) but that it goads you into doing stupid dangerous things for a couple of extra 5 chips.

'SHOTGUN THAT MIDBOSS NEVER MIND THAT IT'S GOING TO SHOOT A SPREAD AT YOU FROM POINT BLANK THINK OF THE POINTS DUDE THINK OF TH--' *death*

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Gradius Gaiden has G as the first letter for both words and therefore makes it a better option for G week.

[An Odd Sea Slug]

More bee hunting (dear god, I seriously need to take a long break from CAVE shmups...)

-Used up my last life by running into and easily dodged bullet. I DIED TO THE STAGE TWO BOSS.

-I keep getting killed by bullets I thought I would get passed/dodged successfully.

-Ninja bullets, Ha ha, old chap! :V

-It took nine credits to FINALLY get a semi-competent run, and I still failed to ace my current high score. Why does this game do this to me? ;_;

-I died to the very first bullet on stage 3. <__>

-I actually saw a bullet that killed me in stage four, tracking it with my eyes for a good five seconds. Today must be 'lets die to stuff you could've easily dodged day'

Also did some ESP Ra.De. just now.

-Gaara's final three attacks can go die in a fire.

-Epic fail clip death because I wasn't paying enough attention to my movements, and slammed into something on the bottom right corner.

-Epic fail deaths against Satoru for no reason at all. I don't care what point you encounter him, if he manages to kill you, you have failed.

-The hitbox really sucks. :V

Also, is Ketsui seriously that hard? *watches a YT video* ...yeah it is. I'm still gonna buy it though. :|  Is it obvious that I am a complete masochist? Also, Tengu, welcome to the DonPachi squadron.

[Matsuri]

Decided I'd play some ESPGaluda today.

Made it to stage 5 with 5 lives.

Lost my last life against Seseri part 2... only a couple hundred thousand away from the 14mil extend.

I could scream right now.

[shadowbringer]

I'd be willing to help you, Odda, however my memory's now reserved for this week's game (FEVERon), and so I feel that whatever I would say would be too trivial ( I mean, no in-depth, helpful information ).. my hands' memories have already forgotten the do's and don'ts of both DDP and ESP Ra.De.. my apology...

also, I see that there are people who have games that they would like to see in the SotW someday, and haven't changed their mind about them through the weeks
- Guxt ( lumber of the beast )
- Xexex ( Aisha )

have I forgotten someone?

meanwhile, trying Feveron with reduced playtime through the weekdays ( new job, hooray! )

[Bananamatic]

I was just about to suggest that next week's theme should be 'shmups that start with 'G'.'

Great Mahou Daisakusen

[Matsuri]

you have a ridiculous one-track mind

remind me to smack you across the back of your head if we ever meet

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

remind me to smack you across the back of your head if we ever meet

Matsuri's gonna be Agent Gibbs? I approve.

[Matsuri]

exactly like that

[beaver1231]

And so I tried Dangun Feveron to participate for the competition...

Is the scoring system here DDP but with items instead?

[Azinth]

At its most basic, yes.

If it looks like a disco man is about to fly off the top of the screen, use a bomb to run up and save him.  If you have no bombs, then suicide as quickly as possible so you can get some (unless you have no lives of course).  Seriously.
