I wish I could even get 3 million :) Congrats. You've earned it.

Now I have to invite another guy to Team2...

(In some type of accent) Are you threatening BBH?

-- Joe Ledesma (JoeyL21988@yahoo.com), November 16, 2001.

to QRS and Joey: thanks guys :)

to Hisa: FUCK YOU. You little dipshit, you just can't be happy when someone has a score they're proud of on MARP. Now you need to find someone to join your little gang to teach me a lesson? Well, guess what fuckwad, I've been wanting a challenge on this game anyway. I want to see how someone gets 31 million, since I apparently have much to learn. So good luck finding that person to join your leet little gang.

And then you can go fuck yourself.

I can just see BBH tying Hisa down to the DDR machine and stepping all over him ;) I have to watch your recording sometime BBH and see what exactly it is that makes you Mr. Magic :)

-- Joe Ledesma (JoeyL21988@yahoo.com), November 16, 2001.

I think Hisa invite you in the team2ch... not for real but for congratulate you for your score. But if he find someone in Japan who beat your litle score on Shock Trooper ;-) He'll join Hisa's team ;-) It seem you don't like be beated BBH ;-)

Francois:This has nothing to do with BBH doesn´t like to be beaten on a game.. he clearly states that he wants competition on this game right?

Hmm about Hisa´s comment: I have no idea myself either.. if Hisa wants BBH to join his team, or if he want to bring another japanese player that is good at shocktrooper. Anyway time will tell :=)

-- QRS (qrs@telia.com), November 17, 2001.

Hmm. I never thought about it as "asking BBH to join team2ch" but time will tell..

-- Joe Ledesma (JoeyL21988@yahoo.com), November 17, 2001.

I gave up about it today.
I known that is difficult job.
It cannot achieve with just knowledge of tricks. Well done BBH.


-- Novice@Team2ch (weavuspert@yahoo.co.jp), November 17, 2001.

hmm, is that finally an opinion of 7 (of 7 MAX) from hisa? interesting.

-- Chad (churritz@crash.cts.com), November 17, 2001.

I swear, it's the skill and 0wnage of a Shock Troopers machine that really puts BBH's head right on top :)

-- Joe Ledesma (JoeyL21988@yahoo.com), November 17, 2001.

Therefore my self appraisal.if you hate,please ignore.

LEVEL 1= just finished without effort
LEVEL 2= finished without critical mistake
LEVEL 3= not so poor.I think
LEVEL 4= success all big tricks.enough worth to show.
LEVEL 5= excellent work.I proud of this play even if someone beats me.
LEVEL 6= same as WR.
LEVEL 7= over gamest record.

That re-play is LEVEL 5(or 4.not 6).same as my over 14M of 1942's.
It is the splendid achievement.current my uploads do not reach to that.

What's Gamest record?

-- Joe Ledesma (JoeyL21988@yahoo.com), November 17, 2001.

The record which was totalled over 15 years. Perhaps the majority world record. As for record with factory shipment setting here

Ehh. Too bad I don't have Excel still. (I had found those files in the quest for an awesome Bosconian inp, couldn't open those files, and never found that awesome Bosconian inp, unless you consider that one at MAMEfun any good..) I'm sure other people will have a look, so thanx.

-- Joe Ledesma (JoeyL21988@yahoo.com), November 17, 2001.

Great thanks Princess. I search such files since many years :-)

But I want to know one thing :

For me and for all occidental I know who play at Argos No Senchi, it's impossible to make 11M at this game. I want to know how the recordman made. The only solution I see is : they're somewhere in the game a stage bonus we never found. So, if you know the solution please, tell us^^.

One question Hisa (I fear of the answer) have you some Gamest's record ?

Francois

PS : Hey, the record of Wonder Boy is 2 M 45, my best mark in 86 year is 2 M 35 :-)

-- Francois Daniel (francois-daniel@libertysurf.fr), November 17, 2001.

I can load the Excel sheet into StarOffice 5.2 (free download for Win32 or Linux at www.sun.com) but many cells show question marks, which I assume is probably becaulse it's in Japanese. I don't suppose there's a version translated into english somewhere?

-- Barry Rodewald (bsr@hnpl.net), November 17, 2001.

Francois:Is your score of 2 mil 35 a complete game with or withour leeching, and if you completed it, did you end the game at 7-4 or 8-4?

It´s not hard to get 2mil if you leech and finish it off at 7-4.

But to end the game without any leeching get 2 mil and REALLY finish it at 8-4 that´s great! They only guy at marp that has done that yet is DDR (Essakappa).

Okay, perhaps I was a bit testy in my previous post. It had been a long day and the last thing I needed to see was Hisa's response. I had interpreted it as such:

he was definitely NOT "inviting" me to Team2Ch. No way. What made me so angry was that this wasn't the first time that someone has been proud of a score, only to have Hisa tell them their score sucks compared to the Gamest world record. I'm sure we all remember the "KING OF SOLDAM" incident too.

Am I proud of my current score on Shock Troopers? Fuck yeah. You see, you can be a total badass when it comes to games... even if you can, say, beat both loops on a Cave shooter, you're not going to be getting 25 million on Shock Troopers on your first few tries. Yeah, you might be able to finish the game with ease... but finishing the game is a cinch to me anyway. The real challenge is figuring out how to maximize your score on each level. It's taken me much, much playing to analyze each level inside and out to find out the best places to "stall" and draw out more soldiers. I've learned all of this on my own too. I used to consistently get 17-18 million scores in the arcade, then when MAME came around I started getting 20 million. It was then that I noticed how important stalling in certain areas was, and my score kept gradually growing. I'd been stuck at the 29.5 million mark for well over a year, so needless to say I was pretty happy when I broke 30 million.

I'm not sure how many people in the world know all the shit I know about that game. Maybe there are more hardcore players in Japan other than the guy who got that Gamest score, I dunno. But even then, it wouldn't surprise me if the total number of people who knew this shit as well as I do could be counted on two hands (maybe even one). So yeah, I'm cocky when it comes to Shock Troopers. But it's because I can't find anybody else who cares about the game as much as I do. So yeah, I take the game pretty seriously. Yes, if higher scores exist out there I definitely want to see how they're achieved. As much as I've played, I can't shake the feeling that there's something I haven't figured out yet that could lead to more points. I just don't like it when someone like Hisa delights in seeing other people's scores get destroyed, all because they were happy with what they could accomplish...

-- BBH (lordbbh@aol.com), November 17, 2001.

oh yeah, one more thing, thanks for saying my recording was LEVEL 5, Hisa... I take it as a compliment since I don't see you rank recordings that high too often...

Remember it? I'm trying to forget it.

At least the Cleopatra Fortune score is... decent.

-- BBH (lordbbh@aol.com), November 18, 2001.

I made my 2 M 35 mark without leeching and on finishing the game in world 8-4. I finish it with my second life and I lost my first one on world 8-2 or 8-3 (A silly fall on a plate-forme) :-( But me too I'm proud of this score and on Paris I'd the only one who finish the 8'th world. Now, is another matter, I forgot some stages with the past of time. I'll try to beat my score but It will be difficult.
