Shmup of the Month Club 2013 (Giga Wing)

[hashiriya1]

Made it!

Spyke - 1,009,781,600 - Kuga1 - 3-1 - PS2

Anybody else love the music too?

Yay, hit 1.1 billion for that extend!

I'm not a fan of the soundtrack. Now I just mute the game when I play and put on some Pantera. My 2.1B score was thanks to Vulgar Display of Power.

I'm fine with the soundtrack, but I like the way this man thinks.

Shikigami feels to chic for Pantera.

It seems like a game that would have a Kenny G soundtrack or some shit.

LOL - I see where you're coming from!

Metallica's Ride the Lightning goes well with the game, too. I remove "Escape" from the playlist, though, because that song doesn't fit well with the rest of the album.

I get some slowdown for about half of the 2nd phase of the 3-2 boss.

I get that on the NAOMI too, so that's probably to be expected.

It's whenever Siegfried or Roy shoots that big laser beam, things slow down.

3-1 is killing me. I get there each run w/2 or 3 hits left and just get eaten up. Ugh. Time to try Ko I guess.

EDIT:

Bruno - any interest in doing a scoreboard for each character? I know I personally get further with Gen, Niigi, and Roger than Sayo, though I score higher with Sayo. So part of me would prefer to use those 3, but for scores sake, i'm using Sayo right now.

I know it'd be more work, but I know I could help out and I bet Brad would as well. I think this game more than any other needs characters separated.

[noiseredux]

^that would probably encourage trying all characters too.

I've only tried two characters, Koutarou and Kim, so I don't really know what to think about multiple character boards. On one hand I think, lots of shmups have cheap characters/ships, so why is this different? But on the other hand, Koutarou is so ridiculous that it's pretty much a different game with him (hold one button, dodge, profit).

So personally I don't really care and am down with it, if you guys think it's a good idea.
