SPEED

I swear I didn't miss the 10th Anniversary for the series. It's really more of other things that were going on around the same time. Plus, playing SUMERAGI means not really bothering to type up anything. Anyways.

I have 2 copies of SUMERAGI, for both the PS3 and PS4. Can't play the PS4 version just yet because I don't have the console. Still want to grab a JP PS4 after having a friend test out one of the firmware updates. A little disappointing that it swaps the actual input type, unlike what happens with the PSP when it has CFW (can swap O and X, and it doesn't affect the in-game inputs). And... I don't like being locked 30fps while in co-op. It's not even locked since we experienced some pretty nasty drops on some stages, most notable in Tsuru's.

Made quite a bit of progress in the PS3 copy before deciding to stop, go back to SB4, then start working on making things easier for the PS4 copy. In other words... filling out those trophies and hunting inscriptions. Just need 2 more green ones! And the Fugitive Bingo is done!

Also have gone back to play the older entries. Mostly 3/SH with a friend (damn good progress and almost have Nobunaga in SH) and working on some SB HD Collection stuff. Because I feel like it. After flailing around for a bit, I think I've gotten back into the groove for the older titles. Gone is all the fun movement tech (seriously, you can do things faster than sprint), and back to the basics. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.


Speaking of which... With how there's a "reward" for completing stages in 8 minutes or less for SB4/S, I've been running stages much faster now. Almost to the point of some of the stages being less than 5 minutes. So. I've now signed up to speedrun.com (_zephyr), and might have started running the SB series. Might be my main speed games, since I'm generally better at testing and theory-crafting for LasRem, rather than executing everything for 6.5 hours (which by the way, we've gotten down to 6.5 hours). Main issue is that I don't have a capture card and submissions must be a vid link. Which means that the only games I can run at the moment would be Devil Kings and SB1/2/2H on an emulator. Can still practise the other games though. Might be seeing more SenBASA posts at this rate.
