The RGF Shmup League - Season #3 Game #2: taking nominations

[AmidstStorm]

Looks like the scoring here is getting close.

......a bit too close. This is going to come down to pure memorization, isnt it? Not forgetting one damn enemy.

......yeah, I might just skip that. Every time I sit down to do a run on this as it is, I'm bored before the second stage and end up just playing Raystorm anyway.

Arrow Flash isnt bad, but.... ye gods, it is SO FREAKING SLOW. This makes Gradius 3 on the SNES look challenging. I may well end up not bothering with a score posting on this one out of sheer impatience.

And now, back to Raystorm.

It's all about Stage 5. After a fair few credits the rest of the game seems auto pilot. Just get a score done Misery. It isn't that hard is it?

No, but I still dont focus too well on it nonetheless.

I'll get to it eventually.

Probably.

got up to 200k and stage 3 I am going to wait intil I get my best score I can get and then upload to youtube then I will put it here. just so I don't have to upload over and over again.

[AmidstStorm]

Well I got another 1CC but only 768k this time. I dunno, i think i'm done. I've maxed my scoring potential with stages 1-4. Go into 5 on about 470k.. one stupid death and it's half hour wasted. I can at least pass Stage 5 powered down now though but there's no hope of a good score like that.

[Sel Feena]

Do you have many Arrow Flash stocks left at that point? Not the most refined tactic, but mech-form Arrow Flash your way through that stage as much as possible? Not like lives remaining gives you bonus points or anything! Same for the alien guts level, just make sure you 'power-down' out of it in a clear space.

Have to agree with Misery, mech-form Arrow Flash is crazy-powerful. Every boss can kiss their backsides goodbye with what, 4-5 MAX for most of them?

Or the 'Seizure Level', as I'm now calling it.

I stockpile them for stage 5 so they are maxed out, but always try to save them for as late in the level as possible, being if I die unexpectedly then I lose my stockpile = poor score. There are only a few places I use them throughout other than bosses to maximise scoring if enemies are on split routes for example.
Stage 1 boss can be killed without moving from bottom left corner if using a ship with options in the right place. Same with Stage 3 boss if you stay in top left. The other bosses are easiest just to use arrow flashes with the mech. Most can be taken out using just 2 at most 4-5 like you said depending.

Simple answer to my troubles. Don't die.

[wolfman24]

could we can play with rapid fire on?

[Sel Feena]

^ Oof! Your fingers must ache something fierce. Auto's allowed, weakboson asked about not having it and it was agreed to be OK to use it. Would have been a pain for it not to be allowed.

[Vyothric]

I spent quite a while playing without auto fire. The problem I had was that it felt like the button on my controller was getting ruined!

I actually switched to my backup controller and plan on changing the button pad on the other one now. I only have a couple of good ones for the MD

Indeed.

I literally cant play it (or any of these) if there's no auto. Makes my arm flare up bad. At least for now. Same reason why I cant currently use the damn arcade stick for these and am instead stuck with the blasted 360 controller, or the Gamepad from Hell.

I always wonder WHY any of these games were made without that option. It's just ASKING for pain.

[wolfman24]

stage 1-4 are easy but once on 5 it is hard I lost my focus when the enemy that fires bullets everywhere threw me off guard at least I got about 630k

Good work. yeah 5 is the hurdle. Keep going for that clear.

Uh oh, we're in trouble. Kollision imminent

Just remember to make it a fair league, only scores achieved during the game time should be submitted. No old scores or pics please.

Welcome my friend. Everyone, i've known KOL for possibly a few 'interweb' yrs now.

Ok I downloaded the K-fusion thing. I haven't got a pad for my PC so tried using directional keys, could only go either up and down or left and right so was a bit tricky I'm on the leaderboards, need to get a pad.
