Shmup of the Month Club 2012

Oh dear, sorry if I came off as condescending. I meant to say that in Psikyo, as you become more proficient at basic survival you'll see your scores improve. So as you get more comfortable you can be more aggressive with dragonshot.
I practiced just this game for about an hour per day for 3 months so it's not like this came out of nowhere.
And please don't put my score in the rankings.

Nah, your good man. Just a bit of ego-crash / reality-check for some of us

Hopefully you stick around to explore other parts of the site - this is a really great retro community.

Best I could do after a few runs. First time really playing this game and trying to not suck. I credit fed through it once maybe 1/2 a year or more ago. I still suck, haha.

I still suck, haha.

it's not an easy game, man! You're doing better than me score-wise.

Yea, definitely a tough one. Keep at it! It's pretty addictive.

I should probably hook it up to my TV instead of playing on a 15" laptop screen. Considering it is a vert, that leaves a pretty small screen. And my arcade stick is 2 - 3x the size of my laptop. That looks a bit goofy as well.

That dude with the champion score rocks -- he's a Rob fan.

Looks like Hashiriya and ourselves will have a force to be reckoned with in the coming months.

Finally, Psikyo-Ball is the coolest freaking player name ever.

Whats your actual high score RNG? I know you've cleared this.

I'm still just trying to break 300K.

Guess I'll give it another go after before work.
**Edit**
Started up the game and this was my first run. Seemed easier and I'm not sure why. Maybe I just needed a break.

1.5m with Quaid, got to 2-2. I could get much much further if I stopped dying on the final boss second form and didn't try Loop 2 techs.

As far as I know two westerners have 2-ALLed DB - stuminator and BER from the French forum shmupemall. Right now azinth, saucykobold and I are trying to race to a 2-ALL but I don't know if I'll ever manage that.

ZengarZombolt was another really good player who used Rob (he also no-deathed Dangun Feveron :V) but I don't know what happened to him.

One tip for you guys: I find personally that playing in TATE makes the game much more frustrating. When I do scoring attempts I always do yoko on my 18" screen. I dunno why that helps.

[dunpeal2064]

I can't imagine how mean this loop is.

I can see why playing in Yoko might help some people, as it is most likely a smaller area to look at, so maybe it is easier to focus on the entire screen?

I am so used to TATE that i usually do terrible in yoko, although thats what I am playing DB in, since its on my laptop. However, when it comes to Futari or something, I do much better in TATE (on a 20in screen, so, small enough to view all of)
