ESPGALUDA

[deepbluevibes]

for anyone who's seen this at the con, i'm the guy named "DBV" on the scoreboards, and i'm also walking around with a amv editor/pre-reg blue badge on, usually wearing blue/black and i'm white.

anyways, i made this thread because i notice some of you doing decent at the game, but you might not get why the button is there to slow down things and such.

the way to use this is basically this;

when you kill enemies, you get green gems.

when you press the button, time is halved, and all bullets on screen turn purple, and your gems start dropping at 10 a second.

when this happens, if you kill an enemy in this mode, all bullets on screen that were fired by said enemy will turn into gold icons, and these will become multipliers.

1-100 gold pieces = x100 score multiplier (for things you kill and getting one of those)

101-200 gold pieces = x200 score multiplier

201-300 gold pieces = x300 score multiplier etc.

however, if you run out of green gems and are still in this mode, the bullets will turn red, and double in speed. all enemies killed in this mode give gold icons, but not for their bullets, only in how many green gems they would have gaven you in normal mode.

pressing and holding the bomb button will charge up your bomb, once it flashes, it's at full power.

if you're in time slow mode, being hit by a bullet will cause you to auto-use a bomb of sorts, but you will lose 1/2 of your gold icons and 1/4th of your green gems.

all of this i found out by going to gamefaqs, so yeah i have a life guys, this is my first time playing the game :P i just play other, harder shooter games a lot, but this is a HUGELY welcome addition, and as fanime will probably see, it's totally worth it to get games like this/harder games like this for future years.

I can not begin to say just how much I was STOKED that was there.  Being the panels ninja I was way way too busy to really sit down and play it but the time I got for it made my life a happy one for those moments. =}   I hope we can get Ebara or one of the others next year =D

"Ibara." It was refreshing to see that they had this in the arcade. I also saw Ikaruga and Gradius over at the consoles.

I think espgaluda is one of the tightest shooters ever created. Never seen a game with really nice background, point system and MUSIC all in one wrap. I think its a must for many shooterheads, especially new ones, as its very beginner-friendly.

I never got into it too much, but my friend was top in the scores at the game room. Some of the people who were going pretty hardcore at the game actually ended up getting acquainted at the con, which was pretty cool.

i was dissapointed that Dolphin Blue wasnt brought back for 2006, but i have to admit this completely made up for it. it reminded me of Ikaruga, but there was alot more action going on, keepin you on your toes. this should be brought back for fanime2k7, including a return of Dolphin Blue.
