My feelings on The Demon Rush
Are you ready to prove your manhood? (or womanhood, I don't discriminate) Are you curious about the official SDA game? *
Yes, we're going to have a TSS tournament at the 4-H Center the night before the marathon, and unlike the last tournament, it will actually finish!
The largest Twinkle Star Sprites tournament I've heard of had 28 people, and we have around 50 people coming to the 4-H Center, so let's try to get the world record for largest Twinkle Star Sprites tournament in history.
What is Twinkle Star Sprites?
Twinkle Star Sprites is one of the few games in the VS. shmup genre, a genre that consists of less than 10 games. It's hard to describe, but here's a short description anyway.
The game is played side-by-side, and competition is based off players killing waves of enemies in a puzzle-like fashion to send bullets to attack your opponent.
That doesn't really sum up the game very well, so if you want to read some general info about the game or look at some screenshots, go here
BTW, the Touhou vs. shmup (Phantasmagoria of Flower View) came out after TSS, so don't say TSS copied Touhou.
PoFV is also not as good as TSS. 
The rules (don't worry, this won't be long)
-Mevious and Memory are banned, every other character is allowed.
-This tournament is double elimination.
-All matches except for finals will be 2 out of 3 games. Finals will be 3 out of 5, winner has set advantage.(loser has to win two 3 out of 5 sets)
-Winner of the first match has to stick with his/her character, loser is allowed to pick a different character.
-No turbo fire.
If you want to study up or practice, then...
The game is a Neo Geo game, Mame and Final Burn Alpha both do a good job of emulating the game. I won't tell you how to get the rom or anything, but it's honestly not hard. If you want to play online come to #sda on irc.metroid2002.com (or dl.speeddemosarchive.com).
http://www.gamefaqs.com/neo/565709-twinkle-star-sprites/faqs/56584 - This is an FAQ I wrote for the game. A couple of things are a bit off, like some of my character assessments, but it should still be good.

BTW, if you're new, don't be afraid to join just because you don't know what you're doing. At least half of us won't know what they're doing.
