Alright, this thread is going to be for the weekly scoring competitions that we have in the Bullet Hell Fanatics group here on TA. I did have all of this info in the group description, but it just got to be WAY too long, and decided to move it here (thanks to the suggestion of Strivemind... hehe). If you would like to join our weekly competitions, you're more than welcome. One big rule though, we will not tolerate any "oh you suck" or "haha, you call that a good score, why did you even submit it?" type of talk; These competitions are more for fans of bullet hell and shmup games to learn the scoring mechanics, find new strategies, and most of all, improve their own scores. Just so happens that a little competition helps to push gamers into looking for, and sometimes finding, new ways of playing that they wouldn't have found normally. Event 1 - May/2011 - TOKYO BASH!

Should it come as any surprise that a guy using the handle of "DJFlippy" would be a master of a game called "Jukebeat"? To be worth his salt professionally he must become the beat...which clearly gives him an unfair advantage.
Is it down forever? - or do you know about any more info?? =o/ Also, do you happen to have the old link we had up for the bee locations? I really should have kept that... =o/
Well it's been down for the past 2 months or so, so I doubt it's coming back up. I still have the old site, but I'm still trying to find a better map since the old one isn't so great. You can just keep it up there for the time being though. http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Knight/1496/hatiura.html or tinyurl.com/dodonpachibees
Apparently I downloaded those images off the CAVE database a while back, so I made a freewebs site and uploaded them there. http://dodonpachibees.webs.com/apps/photos/

Bullet Hell Shooters? Are there any new/er Bullet Hell Shooters? I have all CAVE SHOOTERS - skyforce etc. but what is something like this you can recommend?
I don't think there's been anything particularly great in this arena lately. Time to look back and find what you missed, I suppose.
