Week 2 STGT: Jamestown (Gauntlet Legendary)

[mjmjr25]

Got rid of the bar on the bottom - thanks, Doc.

Still have the top of the window (noise that trick didn't work) - BUT, the top is not bothering me near as much as the bottom was since I play on the bottom half after stage 1.

How is everyone else doing - I figured first day, Saturday, we'd have lots of action today...

I'm experimenting with the charge shot ship - love his power and am able to get 1.2 mil on stage 1 w/him, but his charge shot takes 2 direct full charge hits on the larger enemies on stage 2 and if you don't kill them, they spray the screen something fierce and I die in a place I normally wouldn't. I still think Beam is the best for my style.

Don't be intimidated by Doc's score either - he's a top 50 in the world Jamestown player - so don't worry that you are nowhere near that score yet, just get something up - I expect scores to be very similar to Garegga across the board.

EDIT: improvement
mjmjr25 - The Smorking Section - 2,401,775 - Stage 3 - Beam

I'm so close to stringing my chain through to the 1st boss - i'm up to 117 seconds - if I can delay that last kill just a fraction of a second more i've got it - so so close.

Somewhat of a recurring theme on this subforum

Oh wait, Fox won BG?! Ok then.

I just bought this game, of course I'll have something.

sorry yo - had plans w/ the wife today but should get a chance to drop a score tomorrow w/ my fellow Smorkers. Really looking forward to delving into this one for score!

I know I can probably hit this score on Stage 1 if I can just keep the chain. Stage 2 seems pretty simple thus far and my death seemed quite preventable. Hopefully I can pop this over 2-2.5m without a ton of work.

Slightly below my PB (which is 8.3 million). Time to start practising Dimahoo, I guess...

Doc throws down the Gauntlet!

Fuck, and I haven't even had the chance to buy this yet!

Got a lot of catching up to do

Playing this game for score has made me go from really liking the game to loving it.

The feeling in the pit of my gut that I get for keeping/losing a chain is akin to what I get from the best DDP games, and I am starting to yell at the game with regularity which means that I am having a blast

Getting right close to 2mil now. Really would like to see some folks other than Mike and Doc post so I can get a sense of if that's any good

You can check against world leaders - not on right now, but I think 2 mil would put you in the top 15% of submitted scores.

Also - reminder or new suggestion, depending if you are playing for the first time - if you get a good score - be sure to hit "submit score" to have it posted to the online leaderboard.

Also again - Doc said earlier, after you die, be careful to not hit anything or you'll continue the run and can't use the score - it comes up FAST and you might instinctively try to keep shooting or something.

I have one around 1.8m submitted I think, but didn't look at where that compared to those submitted worldwide. This is a game that soooo many people have picked up for cheap over the years in Humble Bundles and Steam sales that I am not sure how useful those leaderboards are.

Also, does it let you submit for a run that you continued in? That would kill it's usefulness too...
