Hi guys,

sorry for the late thread creation. I suggest that we vote until Sunday, and i create the month's scoring thread next Monday.

As always, please feel free to make any comments/suggestions.

EDIT - I was trying to add one more day to the poll, but seems like i can't edit that now. Anyway, if you try to vote during Sunday and the Poll is already closed, post on this thread and i will consider it.

Isn't it 19XX, the CPS2 game, rather than any game in the series?

Yup, it's the Tate one on the CPS2 ;)

Edit - and to be honest, I tried it today and I'm not a fan...

I felt the same when I first tried it, but it grew me; I definitely prefer it to 1944. Although I'm not a *big* fan of any in the series to be honest.

To understand 19XX, use charge-shot (hold shot button) to laser-lockon kill stuff, then use the charge-bomb (hold bomb button) to WIN.

Voted Batsugun.

I'm ok with what I've played of 19xx, don't love it, don't hate it.

Guwange has an amazing aesthetic, but I've tried and I cannot play it with normal arcade controls, I could only do the arrange 360 mode with the analog sticks :(

Now that there are now doubts about the game, please let me know if you keep your vote or if you want to change it.

Aiight then, my mistake. You can change my vote to Batsugun. Thanks in advance!

Oh!

That'll certainly help me a lot. Never knew you could do that.
Pretty sure it'll make my runs better. That's a nice feat - it certainly increases the strategy a lot.

To the "nay-sayers" : It may look bad and simple on YT, but it actually has a lot of potential. Scoring techniques are plentiful.
My vote goes in there! :buttrock:

I did realise we already had that one as shmup of the month in recent times (would not have changed my vote though).
Did fire it up for some rounds today, but did opt for the pad instead of the Lemstick this time - personally I seem to be better at the controls that way.
Still trying to get back into the game, but I managed to beat my old highscore (which isn't much obviously but for the first few attempts it's ok)

As the level progress seems to have a massive impact (e.g.: with ship type B you get some spread shots I have to dig up the old thread to see how you can rack up those levels faster).
The Lvl1 Boss (Deep Purple) seems easy enough with destroying the side turrets and then going for the kill. However in order to keep my progress in level 2 I have to bomb quite a lot - so I guess the next key point is to learn the pattern of Madzella.

Which ships/pilots do you guys use?

Seems like we have a tie between Batsugun and 19XX. If you guys agree, I will launch a score table for both games.

I'm down with that, my focus will definitely be on batsugun, but I can see myself getting a few rounds in on 19xx.
