I'll root for you guys~

Matsuri · « **Reply #541 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:33:31 AM »

Starts either mid-August or at the end of August, not entirely sure.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #542 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:35:13 AM »

I'm in...but goddamn why do I suck so much at shmups

maybe I should give up on playing them seriously just because I get nervous way too easily
savestate practice, I can perfect Infernon depending on the attacks

reach him with 2 lives on a real run and I'm suddenly unable to restream his attack even once and it's panic bombing all over.

trancehime · « **Reply #543 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:37:42 AM »

Haha

I'll cheer you guys on from the sidelines ^^;;

I'm no good at scorerunning, it's not my forte ~

Also I'd feel weird for registering at the shmups forum just for that... haha...

Sapz · « **Reply #544 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:38:35 AM »

Sounds like fun. I'm in. :3 Having said that, I think I'm away for the first two or three days if it starts on the 16th; is that a problem? I should still be able to play for the other half of the week and get a decent score.

EDIT: Nevermind, checked it. I should be back before it starts.

I'm just plain not good at anything, so you can join me. :3

Suddenly though I feel like I should register at Shmups forum anyway. Even though I dunno if I'd ever even post. *shrug* Maybe later.

Matsuri · « **Reply #546 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:41:36 AM »

Nah, not a big deal at all. It's good if you take it seriously, but do remember that playing for fun is fine as well. D:

EDIT: Which reminds me, I should get the Recca thread going :3

KOA · « **Reply #547 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:44:23 AM »

Sorry, but I'm already with TCACTRM for this year. :<

Matsuri · « **Reply #548 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:47:29 AM »

Khoaaaaaaa. :<

Anyway, Recca thread is up and running. Do note that this is an NES game, not MAME, and that we are playing Score Attack, not the main game.

Congrats to shadowbringer for the #1 Varth spot.

EDIT: Also, any suggestions for our team's name?

Bananamatic · « **Reply #549 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:47:59 AM »

and get a good name, team motk sounds stupid :V

Matsuri · « **Reply #550 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:49:00 AM »

lol nice, talk about being on the same wavelength :V

trancehime · « **Reply #551 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:55:03 AM »

Well time to just play some Recca then in the meanwhile... when I'm free... :<

Bananamatic · « **Reply #552 on:** July 28, 2010, 12:57:07 AM »

You guys have no idea how depressing it is to see people failing to 1cc DDP with higher score than my personal max or getting 10m over mine on their first 1cc.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #553 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:01:14 AM »

What's your max anyway?

Meh, no matter how much I try that game, I never do any better. So even when(if) I 1cc, it'll probably score worse than you.

Sapz · « **Reply #554 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:11:35 AM »

My first 1cc had just a little over 20m, IIRC. DDP really needs a ton of practice to get a good score with, especially if you're using Type A. How often do you play?

Bananamatic · « **Reply #555 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:26:46 AM »

33m or so...I swear that learning how to full chain 1-2 is a part of elementary school.

Tried a random run with B-L, 30m.
1 bomb in st3, perfect up to the very end of st4 where I derped twice, one death on st5 and 2 more on st6.

The only thing I remember in this game is that at 1-4 when the blue spread cannons appear, enemies charge you from the left, then from the right.
The rest is complete sightread >.>

That one bomb in Stage 3 is the main problem for now; focus on getting rid of that before bothering with the stage 2 chain. If it wasn't for that you would have broken your high score for sure, carrying the x2/3 multiplier bonus through Stage 3 and the x3/4 through Stage 4. :P

Bananamatic · « **Reply #557 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:43:49 AM »

st3 is random as hell, sometimes it walls me, sometimes it doesn't

And how is it even humanly possible to score over 70m and NOT 1cc.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #558 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:45:51 AM »

It always walls me.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #559 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:46:33 AM »

The spam ships are really, really random >.>

And for some reason, I can't even perfect the red spaceship, the very first part in particular.

KOA · « **Reply #560 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:47:26 AM »

Yeah well I can't even 1CC DDP. At all.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #561 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:48:30 AM »

yet you destroy the progear boards :V

KOA · « **Reply #562 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:54:03 AM »

yeah but progear has cancellan

Bananamatic · « **Reply #563 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:55:29 AM »

wait so progear is about CANCELLING and not DODGING

herp derp
and here is me playing it like dodonpachi

also st4 is an ass enemies from all sides etc.

KOA · « **Reply #564 on:** July 28, 2010, 02:02:42 AM »

oh well, you know my 1CCs are horribly inconsistent.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #565 on:** July 28, 2010, 02:08:53 AM »

The only ones here that probably has any sort of consistency is Sapz and Baity and maybe Jaimers.

Unless we count consistency in sucking, in which case add me and a few others to the list.

There's something to be said for those of us who are mediocre at best. :3

Why don't we try hard? D:

LHCling · « **Reply #567 on:** July 28, 2010, 02:15:35 AM »

Consistency comes with practice.

Anyone interested?

[10:40] <Baitikkuri> not liking the starting date
[10:43] <Baitikkuri> either way, i'll consider it

DDP stuff

Don't forget about the bullet clearing ships in Stage 3; wait for a ton of bullets before blowing up the large ship (you should know which ones I'm talking about) to bump up your score by a fair margin.

By the way, I never learned how to full chain Stage 2, and I never will :V
Or how to get that Extend! in Stage 3.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #568 on:** July 28, 2010, 02:18:58 AM »

I don't think I've ever missed the DDP stage 3 extend. I didn't even know it was possible to miss it since you're allowed to bomb.

LHCling · « **Reply #569 on:** July 28, 2010, 02:19:59 AM »

I have a huge tendency to zone out by that point and miss it altogether. As in, not opening the cover.

EDIT: Ergo, I never actually know whether or not I grabbed it.
