yay!! I understand!!

But, Why 'R-type'?

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

But, Why 'R-type'?

Truly, the ultimate question.

RE: R-Type naming

RIGHT LETS SORT THIS OUT GODAMMIT

Rory Bovrilmonkey did some clubswinging at Falmouth... um... 4? The sunny one that Andy and Arashi and Nik came to anyway.

He did a move that was horizontally stalled clubs (like flats in juggling) moved in longarm circles (split timed).

Flashpoint saw him doing it and named them 'R-Types' because in the r-type games you got weapon pods that moved in a big circle around your ship, while remaining stationary in the rotational sense, in a similar manner to what the clubs in rory's hands were doing.

MCP then stole this terminology and applied it to horizontally or vertically stalled staffs being moved in circles.

She mistakenly beleived that the name had arised simply from the fact that r-type is a horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up, and would of perpetuated that myth, but luckily not enough people cared to sufficiently replicate that idea in meme form for it to enter the world of mainstream thought.

We then decided that r-type was inapplicable to vertically stalled sticks, and thus introduced the term 'Galaxians' for those ones instead. Cos Galaxian is vertically scrolling not horizontal. You see?

i am not sure how richee's ideas apply to r-types. i thought i understood, then i looked at the diagrams and read the writing more, and now i don't understand. i'll try more later, but i'm tired now...
