TSS first try ever. So this is like PoDD except instead of danmaku, you get huge high speed projectiles thrown at your face. Anything particular I should know about the rules?
We're supposed to play the Story Mode right? Made it to stage 7 on my first try. Oddly I had easier time on some of the later stages than on the first ones. How many stages are there in total?
rules.. I dunno :p ( Memory and Mevious are overpowered -- banned, actually -- in versus play, but in single play, this can be harmful for score.. just as harmful as trying to play as an underpowered character such as Yan Yan Yung, imho, because either you or the opponent may not survive long enough :p)
There's not much difference between playing as Load Ran or Sprites ( her Extra attacks differ in properties, which isn't a big thing, also, the boss attacks aren't much of a trouble either ), so I think that Story Mode and Character Mode don't differ much.. ( unless you prefer the other characters over Ran.. or think that Sprites is overpowered so you prefer to play as her only against Memory ). I'm more concerned about difficulty level (which can be changed through the setup screen, by pressing F2 in most Mame emulators), which can make enemies often survive for a longer time.. (
this scoreboard tells us that westerners have Lvl 4 as default, while the japanese play in Lvl 8 as default) .. I'm really not sure if we should or not make separate scoreboards for lvl 4 or 8, most people may not feel comfortable with lvl 8, there could be some who prefer lvl 8 for the better AI.. I was just afraid of everyone flooding the lvl 4 board, if it were to exist :p
There's 7 stages, for both Story and Character modes. Also, each extra life in stock is worth 100k points at the end of the game, so, if you can score better than this and loses that life, that's okay-ish..
Hey Matsuri, should we count completion time too?
