A 1-credit clear of the arcade game Dynamic Shoot Kyousou. Rom name dynashot, played with WolfMAME 0.264. A soccer-themed game, but focused just on striking - get the soccer ball into the goal, past the goalie and one or two other defenders. There are 16 rounds in all, and in each one you need to succeed in 2 out of 3 goal attempts.

This was an exercise in frustration until I learned a trick to make the goalie consistently go the wrong way: Push the joystick *down* just before you shoot, then tap (don't hold) the shot button. If you do that from the right general area, the shot will go in unblocked. So then it's just a matter of getting the hang of how to *get* the ball to that area, which is easier said than done... If the ball comes from your left you can generally just dribble up+right to get there; if the ball comes from the right I generally hold up+right as it's coming then dodge left when the first defender slides, then dribble up+right to get there. Rounds 5 and 9 and 13 are special because two dudes start close to you, so the timing and spacing is different. It's not an easy game but it's a very short one, so with the magic of savestate practice it's easy to focus on the rounds (and incoming ball trajectories) that are giving you trouble.
