It was allowed, but it made juggling the bells more difficult then it had to be.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Week 2 (Seibu Kaihatsu Week): Viper Phase 1</span><br /><br />Ranking: 72 (of 93)<br />Score: <span style="font-weight: bold;">1'412'369</span><br />Stage: 3<br />Version: MAME<br /><br />Comments: This game has the most atrocious scoring system. Killing every single enemy netted you a 100% increase in score. Killing 99% of the enemies got you a shitty 50% score increase. Stage one sucked. Along with the rest of the game.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Week 3 ('06 Second Place Week): Darius Gaiden</span><br /><br />Ranking: 78 (of 88+lol)<br />Score: <span style="font-weight: bold;">2'008'570</span><br />Route: ABDG<br />Version: MAME<br /><br />Comments: Despite autofire ruining the games framrate and difficulty, I still couldn't manage to beat more then 4 stages. Granted I got really busy with school and hardly got to play, but I still think I should have done better then this.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Week 4 (Hidden Gem Week): Omega Fighter Special Rom Special Mode</span><br /><br />Ranking: 73 (of 77)<br />Score: <span style="font-weight: bold;">1'564'720</span><br />Stage: 1-3<br />Version: MAME<br /><br />Comments: Still busy with school. Played it twice and threw up a disposable score.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Week 5 (Famous Manic Week): Giga Wing</span><br /><br />Ranking: 56 (of 76)<br />Score: <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">2</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">'</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;">7349</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">'</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">54645070</span><br />Stage: 4<br />Character: Ruby<br />Version: MAME<br /><br />Comments: For the last week of the comp, I decided to finally pour some actual time (relatively) into the game since I had neglected to truly participate in the previous two weeks. I dumped about 5:30 into Giga Wing, but after about 2 hours, I stopped improving and after that the game became an excercise in frusteration.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Overall thoughts</span><br /><br />I hope that next year I don't have things distracting me during the tournament. I had to get ready for classes at the local college during weeks 1 and 2 and for weeks 3 and 4 I was brick walled with trying to adjust to the college atmosphere and running Cross Country. When I finally got time to really play during Week 5, I stopped improving after only 2 hours of play.<br /><br />I think I'll finally knuckle down and try to get better at some shooters so that next year I'll be able to compete properly, instead of simply tagging along.<span class="postbody"></span><span class="postbody"></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2571230078435400978-4251824138874877025?l=arcadepirates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pirate1019http://www.blogger.com/profile/12378982474295291602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571230078435400978.post-39669745104725817782007-10-22T17:05:00.000-07:002007-10-22T18:21:45.904-07:00The title says it all.
