Re: Shmups Challenge - Second Round: Strikers 1945 III Perhaps you could tell how to unlock it in the first post? I know it is unlocked on the machine at San Jos State. Also, it is just highlight random, press Up to show the ship, press a button. You don't have to hit it simultaneously.
Re: Shmups Challenge - Second Round: Strikers 1945 III I'd already put it in the first posts. Just got 302,300. Screw medal chaining, it just makes me get myself killed.
Re: Shmups Challenge - Second Round: Strikers 1945 III It's not that it happens to be stronger than everyone else, it's that it's the only good ship. Compare to the Bf-109 in the first game or the Flying Pancake in the second. (Not sure what the fan favorite is for Plus, I don't think it has one, but I like the Spitfire.) If this tournament *is* for shmup "noobs", you will want to allow this "random trick".
Re: Shmups Challenge - Second Round: Strikers 1945 III now if YOU are bad, then what am i?! ... on the other hand.... wait, no i dont even wanna know.
Re: Shmups Challenge - Second Round: Strikers 1945 III This game is hard :/ Bigger hitbox+really fast bullets=difficult.
Re: Shmups Challenge - Second Round: Strikers 1945 III Two technical bonuses and having no deaths on the first two levels brought me to 334,900. Screwed up the boss a bit on the third level though, which is what stopped it being higher.
Re: Shmups Challenge - Second Round: Strikers 1945 III Continuing comments in the channel, I nominate Gunroar in Mouse mode for the next game. Mouse mode actually even makes things fair; the other modes "should" be played with sticks or pads or what, but Mouse doesn't have this (I guess you could say Dual Stick doesn't either, but it technically should be played with such hardware just because of the name). Playing with WASD+Mouse feels really good, for whatever reason.
Re: Shmups Challenge - Third Round: Gunroar Mouse Mode Alright, let's put a score on the board. 6,278,586 points
Re: Shmups Challenge - Third Round: Gunroar Mouse Mode I got 2,037,522. Edit: New high score is 2,896,362. Done for the night.
Re: Shmups Challenge - Third Round: Gunroar Mouse Mode 7,951,159, deaths all by stupid stray bullets I somehow failed to dodge. :s
