TimeTrial 2015 - Round 1 [wof]

[giro-X]

Round 1 of 5
Warriors of Fate (World 921031)
by Capcom, 1992
ROMsets needed: wof; qsound
Genre: Fighter / 2.5D

(Oh well, it wasn't my purpose to start in such a similar way to a previous timetrial tournament, the only reason we start with a Capcom scrolling beat 'em up again is because I kept better stuff for next weeks. )
(I had a delay of some minutes - 15, says the server - in publishing the topic, my apologies!)

GOAL: Complete first 3 Rounds.
The third round is composed of a classic Boss and a secondary group of three women counting as a single boss. Thus, for this TimeTrial round, the Round 3 will be split in 2 halves, having so 4 steps:
-first step: Beat Gaidu (Round 1 end)
-second step: Beat Lhaze (Round 2 end)
-third step: Beat Taranis (Round 3 half)
-fourth step (GOAL): Beat three fighting women (Round 3 real end)

Parameter to count for tournament score: Total number of frames.
The first frame is always determined by the exact frame in which your health bar and score box has completely entered the screen, as in the picture below. Character you used will appear immediately after.



The final frame is determined by the exact moment in which the last boss you successfully won, defeated, has his health bar completely in red.
When you submit your recording, you are not obliged to give a precise count of frames - that's my job I will have to do it anyway. You can give an approximate total. To view the frame count in MAME, press F11.

GENERAL RULES FOR ALL GAMES
MAME version to use: WolfMAME 0.156
You can submit either to the forums or MARP. On MARP, you must include the text TT2015 in description. Score for submission must be your real in-game score, the total frames can be told in the description
No recording can be uploaded 24 hours after you recorded it. INPs older than that will be disqualified

Uuuh what a silence did I choose something... hard? (it's not, have faith!)
Not enough "advertisement"?

I suck at these type of games, so I haven't even made it to the end of Round 3 on one credit yet.

You can upload even with first 2 rounds only, also. Better than nothing, although I'm confident you can reach it, if you want. Every game never touched in the past is hard in first days.
I didn't dare though to put even one more round to clear so I know your feel

Very hard for me... After many tries, i submit the first game i recorded because i can't finish the 2nd round and the other recordings are slower than the first i recorded...

For me, the twins in the 2nd stage are much too hard ^^

Updated scoreboard. Nice score Dax for being this early

[giro-X]

Updated scoreboard, added link to it also in signature.

[Dax]

A much better time. Uploading here as my score was pretty low.

First try, just to at least get a submission in for possibly a few points Only cleared level 1, approx 13500 frames (start approx 2100, level 1 boss clear approx 15600)

Will update later!
26 hours left to end of this round.

I wish to participate, but I cannot find the archive d9k1.9k. My rom don´t work in WOLF 0.156... I´ve searched in all places, but I did not find it...

There is no romset with d9k1.9k (or so I seem to understand, the available one is the best available) - you need instead [qsound] together with [wof]

[giro-X]

Also, romsets for old versions of MAME may be most surely not valid for this version.

This is a sample of message I get when playbacking, and with this romsets I have always run properly all the INPs sent so far

Code: Select all

Recorded using W/MAME 0.156 29/11/14
d9k1.9k NOT FOUND (NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN) (tried in wof wof)
qsound.bin ROM NEEDS REDUMP
WARNING: the game might not run correctly.

I am pretty sure I just had a mini stroke due to the rage this game caused me. I can't feel my left arm.

Thank you Giro-X!! Worked fine here!
