STGT'07

Alright, so the first two play weeks of shmupsforum's Shooting Game Tournament 2007 are over with and the third week is coming up. How did the first two weeks go? Let's review:

Week 1

• Collectively, the competitors agreed that nobody likes Gradius III.
• The competitors also agreed, collectively, to play Twin Bee Yahhoo, disregarding the fact that a majority enjoyed playing Parodius more.
• We like it better with extends.
• Juggling bells is almost as appealing as eating hot glass.
• *Kling*
• SiKrAiKeN still needs to release his superplay video.
• Edge doesn't have excel skills.

Week 2

• Raiden Fighters 1/2 are unloved by the masses.
• Vote manipulation results in lulz
• 100% seems easier in your head.
• Posting videos on youtube is what the cool kids do.
• Most players spent 75%-90% of their playtime restarting level 1.
• We love snipers and medal pods.
• SiKrAiKeN wins again.

I wasn't around the forum for the first half of last year's competition, although there seemed to be much less bitching and moaning then there is now. Granted the only horrible game played during the last half of STGT'06 was Star Force.

So far, the forum has (for the most part) shown ineptitude when it comes to picking good games for scoring competitions. Here's hoping this changes for Second Place Week.
