Aaand that's a wrap. I guess you guys are due for an easier shot type next week. :V

I thought MarisaC was the best shot-type for most purposes in MoF?
And to be fair (although Marisa being my favorite character in the entire series could be biasing this), Marisa is an awesome human partner.
Alice is the one who causes Magic Team most of the problems, from what I've seen.

MarisaC theoretically has the best scoring potential, but she's quite awkward to use, and requires more planning.

Bleah.

Yeah please do. You ain't gonna convert people into score play if you scare them away with awkward shottypes.

XephyrEnigma · « **Reply #605 on:** May 22, 2011, 03:39:37 PM »

What awkward shottypes? You do realize that none of them (even the C's in MoF) aren't unique and you've played them in some form before, right?

In PCB there is SakuyaB. In IN there is the Youmu. Magic Team is also horribly insufficient but at least straightforward.
In MoF there is MarisaA, C and ReimuC. In SA there is all the Marisa's. MarisaC in SA is however pretty simple. Just way too weak.
UFO doesn't really have any particularly stupid shot types except for MarisaB who is useless.

Unique or not. Awkward nonetheless. MarisaC in MoF is similar to Remilia but she has some range at least. However, even she is insufficient in her game of appearance compared to Border Team. MarisaC in MoF pretty much have to shotgun her enemies with the flamethrower and let's just say that unless you have planned where to put that familiar you'll have to improvise and get up close which isn't exactly easy when the screen is full of bullets.

Now, nobody said it needs to be easy but I really just don't appreciate when things get difficult simply because the shottype cannot do what a simple straightforward needle/laser/locked-on options whatever can.

Yeah, I have to disable up and down on my controller to make sure I don't "accidentally" move vertically.

.. and hooray for more UFO goodness. I love that game.

chirpy13 · « **Reply #612 on:** May 25, 2011, 03:09:23 AM »

Unrelated to these tournaments, but still tournament related. Would anyone be interested in hosting/playing in an MotK PoFV Tourney? Maybe one round a week or something, to make it easier to match up peoples' schedules. I would host it myself, but I'm awful at organizing that kind of stuff...

Byaaakuren · « **Reply #613 on:** May 25, 2011, 03:13:28 AM »

How can I temporarily disable my up/down keys?

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #614 on:** May 25, 2011, 03:43:08 AM »

If you're using a keyboard, don't press them :V

ok seriously. I went into custom.exe (or custom_e.exe) and increased the Pad_Y_Axis to 1000. Assuming that you're not using any other software to regulate game controller inputs, (ie: Xpadder) this should disable the game from recognizing any vertical input from the controller.

You'll still want up/down on the keyboard to access in-game menus and such.

Will there be difficulty levels for the very weak/inexperience players and for beast players such as... (I dunno)?

I did exactly this. :derp:
I should change the keys so I don't do that.

You mean like separate divisions for groups of players? I suppose so, but it would probably depend on how many people there are altogether. Also, a second thought, how would brackets work out if we don't have 8/16/32/etc players? We could use a scoring system and have people play each person who's still in for each round (which would also solve the problem of a beginner getting paired with a pro), but that could get pretty time consuming.

This would definitely be cool to see running. I'm unfamilar with PoFV netplay so I don't know how it'd be organized, but if someone's willing to provide a template for it I'd happily keep it maintained.

Well, considering PoFV's netplay is like unassisted IaMP/SWR (Direct-connection) we'd have to use adonis. I guess how we'd organize this, we'd have a topic specifically for the tournament where entrants can place their IP addresses and we'd have the matches at scheduled times.

Please not this. Make two people have to play by a given date/time and let them find eachother. Probably something like best 3 out of 5, or something similar. Also, some people have dynamic IP adresses so posting IPs is useless.

Chronojet ⚙ Dragon · « **Reply #625 on:** May 31, 2011, 04:51:25 AM »

Of course I looked into Dodgeball's replay to see what kind of shenanigans he pulled off on Stage 1 (the rest is just blue UFO shits, right?)

And that's how you do it.

hi sup

I meant to do a decent (not tired/drunk) no-vert marisa beastly eosd but that didn't really work out this week. Instead I had another round of let's-find-amidst-this-sea-of-carpteing-that-little-metal-thing-that-holds-down-the-spacebar after (yet again again) slamming down my keyboard in disgust. I made it to boss Sakuya on normal for a first no-vert for whatever that's worth. Eighth place, it seems.
