Steven Pendleton Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 It's time to terminate the flagship because Slap Fight MD is finally here! I've been waiting for this! It's on the same cartridge as Slap Fight, so put the game type in the options on special. Rules: Game type = special Difficulty = normal Player = 3 Once again, leave the secret Toaplan mode disabled, especially since it's not really going to help you at all. Let's actually use the correct score submission thingy this time, okay? Here it is again. NAME - SCORE - AREA - RAPID ON/OFF 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 HOW TO PLAY SLAP FIGHT MD Compared to Slap Fight, Slap Fight MD is identical in every way except for the ways in which it isn't. Notably, you now have the Typhoon Bomber, which gives you all sorts of fun tactical options. It redirects enemy shots and picks up stars and moves them around, but you have to be careful because shots can still get through the gaps in the blast and kill you, and it will also deposit stars off screen. It is also an autobomber and activates whenever your wings are destroyed. This game now has flying enemies, but you can't crash into them, as this is still a no-collision shooter, so feel free to fly through them without risk of destruction. Other than that, the game plays the same: get stars, switch weapons, find secrets to get points using the required weapons, and all of that. The up+right+A+B thing that gives you a star upon starting the game or when recovering without a star to get one anyway is still here, so use it to start the game and recover. Other than that, go forth and terminate all of the flagships! I'm going to be participating seriously this month, as I have a goal to surpass my previous high score in this game, which is just over 3 million, and now is the time! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Alright, here is my opening score. Special game deserves special hardware = Mega Jet time! Steven - 2,095,900 - 3-78 - on This took 49 minutes and 58 seconds, so assuming that I don't mess up too badly, I should get the counterstop in just under 5 hours or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Guess I'll post my opening score. My hardware = cheapo dual link Retro-Bit, Street Fighter 2 themed time! Picked up a few of these on the cheap (about 5 bucks on clearance at WalMart) plus some SNES ones too. Some of those are Mega Man themed, though. Razzie.P - 586,120 - 2-27 - on I'll have to swing back to this one later in the month. Not exactly winning me over at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwindoman Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I need more practice on this one. Luckily it’s still early in the month. Madwindoman - 241,990 - 1-66 - on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 25,780 1-14 on actually got to something on this one. For anything not on my small pile of carts, I use this pos hackbox. This type of game, I normally played on GB(solar striker), GG(halley wars), SMS(aerial assault, bomber raid), or that one NES one that I managed to beat (1942), lol. I think one of my brothers stole my Arrow Flash at some point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwindoman Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 301,150 - 1-58 - on Having trouble with the 3rd boss. I can get to him with no deaths all powered up. After he kills me im pretty weak for the rest of my lives(2 speeds and a side shot) This game is addictive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) There is a trick to that boss: since there is no collision with enemies, you can just sit on top of him and hold fire until he dies because he can't hit you. Works best with shot when you have less than max wings. At max wings it doesn't work so well, but you can still do it. It seems that doing damage faster gets you more points than doing it more slowly, so shot is probably best. I haven't been playing this game as much as I intended; I've been mostly playing Tatsujin Ou and Out Zone recently, but I do plan to get back to this game soon.

+jgkspsx Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I am having a harder time with this one than the classic mode. This is the first time I survived the boss without blowing up all my pieces. jgkspsx-1-37-127160-on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hacked it, with softmod, to include emulators and libraries for Sega Genesis/MD, SMS/GG, NES, GBA, Lynx, TG16. It was one of the "clock cap" victims, and you need to play with the "open" button, until it comes on and stays on. As for my real Genny, I have a handful of real carts, and shoebox of repros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually affects the power switch function. I don't leave it plugged in, as it will turn itself on at will, lol. Being one that few would have wanted, I decided to try my hand at softmodding it. To do it, I had to borrow the dvd drive from my good one, but it was worth the efforts. I repaired a 2600, and built a custom Atari 400 this week, lol Edited February 20, 2023 by zylon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Wow, it’s a lot easier on real hardware than on the Anbernic. jgkspsx-135930-1-37-on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practice using as many continues as you want, but if you're playing for score you can't use continues. Pretty sure the game sets your score to 0 if you use a continue anyway. BTW did you fix your account yet? 7 hours ago, jgkspsx said: Wow, it’s a lot easier on real hardware than on the Anbernic. Yeah, real hardware always makes everything easier for some reason. I've tried playing on software emulators and stuff but it always feels super wrong for whatever odd reason. Exceptions exist, of course; M2 ShotTriggers emulation is on par with real hardware in most cases, and exceeds real hardware in some cases. They aren't perfect, like the weird stuttering music in Hishouzame on Switch, but they (mostly) fixed that relatively soon after launch.

I have not had a response for a few days. could you ask albert or the other admins if they could have a look for my account? and yes, I will practice a bit more. I really do like this game. It's hard, but enjoyable. I am so stoked for the others. I would practice on an actual genesis but there's all the cords and the plugs can get hot enough to fry an egg.

Trinity32 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 level 80's music sounds very familiar (no wait, it is) to a rap chorus. I just listened to it the other day. It sounds exactly like Larry T west's slowly I turn off of Rap CD 2 Really cool MIDI version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
