galagao - tar's 1.2M replay uses "no-fire" trick

Post by Zhorik »

Tar's galagao replay http://replay.marpirc.net/inp/f/c/f/tar ... olf106.zip uses the "no-fire" trick to stop all the enemies from firing. This is explicitly listed as a banned technique in the Special Rules on the galaga romset, but isn't on all the clones. I'm assuming this trick is banned on all galaga romsets (it should be) even though it isn't explicitly listed in the special rules.

I wanted to figure if you were patient enough to wait for this trick to happen all more power to ya. But it would give an unfair advantage to good players if used by everyone. I'm in favor of grandfathering this recording, especialy since it's not 1rst place and there is not specific rule yet against it. But it's up to the reg coordinator.

For me, what is banned on parent is also banned on clones.
Updating special rules on clones has just been forgotten.
I will edit special rules for all clones, and DQ Tar's inp (if nobody is against that).

Special rules edited for galagamf, galagamk, galagamw, galagao, gallag, gatsbee, 25pacman-gal, 20pacgal-gal, 20pacgalr0-gal, 20pacgalr1-gal, 20pacgalr2-gal, 20pacgalr3-gal, 20pacgalr4-gal.
I don't know if the trick works on each clone, but I guess so.
Did I forget some clone ?
