Jimmy2x2x. There's still some time to go, and I live in the future (down under) so tomorrow morning I'll try and improve my score to submit by the deadline. I'm hoping to get in the top 3 (",) |

Good man! I'm usually pretty decent at shmups, but Sky Shark is somewhat unfamiliar to me and requires more time to practice than I have right now, the always keep moving mechanic sounds simple enough - but you have to combine with pattern learning and consider your planes speed at all times. Not an easy combo with limited time and excellent score submissions! Posted from the future ;) |

What sense does it make, tell me just one actual reason, please? --- End quote --- If the above is not reason enough for you then so be it. Just drop it. I am fully capable of fighting my own battles. --- Quote from: torino on July 08, 2011, 07:10:47 am ---Wouldn't it better if we every time had a winner like you, a true champion, so we all can learn? --- End quote --- How would my score teach you anything? My video on the other hand should tell you plenty and hopefully show you that while the game is hard, it's not completely unfair or impossible. The part where I game over'ed I've managed to get past many times before (when I was young and hungry), so it's not impossible either. I don't know how "friendly competition" rhymes with name-calling etc. It's the Internet, so nuanced irony/sarcasm doesn't work like in real life. Trash talk is hard when you're not face to face. |

This is getting ugly real fast for no reason. the following is mostly directed at torino who is calling people trolls and became emphatic's posse because he tested his software (or at least seems like that) First of all if you've followed these competitions then you know there always was a rule about people competing in MARP to recuse themselves There were many instances that people after winning one competition and introducing their pick would recuse themselves from participation in their pick because they felt they are very good at the game they picked and wanted to give chance to others, that was true untill someone in one of the competitions (cough epyx cough) decided they still wanted to compete, which was fine too since 2nd place winner was choosing next game anyway. Having said that no one has problem with emphatics competing in a game he is clearly superior and autofire issue became an issue only when he mentioned it and basically introduced a precedence of something unfamiliar that wasn't dealt with before. That's it, no need to veer off the friendly teritory and call people names. EDIT: I wrote the above without realising Emphatic dealt with the issue himself at the same time. Spoken like a champ. |

I am fully capable of fighting my own battles. --- End quote --- I'm not fighting your battles. I just want to make this competition interesting enough for me to actually compete. Drop what? Can you tell me who won this competition and who should choose the next game? --- Quote ---How would my score teach you anything?

I was teasing you because I like you, that's what friends do to motivate and support each other, but you have to have some sense of humour for that to work, sorry. I was joking, for the love of drugs, I thought it was obvious, ok? |
