I cannot imagine how many hours that dude put into routing that game. I think he only whiffed on one brick the entire first loop. He dodged the 2nd loop cheese-snipes from the later bosses like It Was Tuesday.

I have to use the same method at the start playing the android version to get that on 1st or 2nd stage. The android version you can't shoot anything with autofire and 2nd loop is impossible.

So close towards the end, though not sure if Fufufu have enough to claw back against SPS. If SPS hadn't lost his first life, the score margin would been a landslide victory.

Style wise Fufufu was more entertaining to watch.

@Mills Do you guys see some kind of extra info I don't when you put links like that in the forum? (like a preview, thumbnail or something?)
because all I see is "https://youtu.be/P-PVtt2L6Hg" and it would be nice to, at least, see the title in those posts you add...

I gave this one its own thread, if you're looking for further discussion. Certainly worthy of it imo:

This forum software predates YouTube (and Twitter and...). Thumbnail previews aren't a thing.

But you can use the URL= tag. By putting the URL after the equals sign and closing the tag, you can then title the link whatever you want. Like so:

I wouldn't have spotted that dedicated thread on the same Toaplan/YouTube review nor would I have searched for it before posting.

I don't use shump that often that new threads get bumped off page 1.

Don't see the big deal in posting on General YouTube thread as it is easier to find and search for.

I don't think anybody's giving you a hard time over it. The guy you quoted is just asking if he's missing a forum setting or something, because he's seeing you post links but not seeing any title/description for them.

I was just saying I'd already done a thread if you wanted to see what people had said.

[Mills]

I don't know as I couldn't search for that just using key wording. Have to type the title headline word for word to find the thread link.

Arguably the most insane 2CC run. Must be close to WR scoring.
Starts 2nd loop with final life. F**k that!

G-Darius HD - Lambda route 1LC (20m)

Warming up again before taking on some of the nastier routes!

(Just broke 20m on the PS4 version, too. Noticed two things: it seems faster than the PC version in a lot of places, despite my PC showing no signs of running the game poorly, and my score on the leaderboard is still a much earlier 7m one. Perhaps these are both pre-update issues? I should have spent more time with this last year, so I'd be able to tell.) :p

[Blinge]

copycat!

LOL just noticed my post just linked to some Guilty Gear footage
fml.
ah well at least i know no one bothered to click it (or say anything)

Wow 20 MIL? I've not once thought about scoring in any Darius game since 2014, but i'll check your replay out.
You run must look very different to mine if it gets some 11 million more score!

[Klatrymadon]

You got the 1LC and all of the boss counter bonuses, so I think all you would need to do to break 20m is use your beams more often during the stages to get x4 bonuses on everything. (I used mine too many times in zone Delta, so don't copy that bit!)

That, and killing absolutely everything else with your captured enemies' shots!

WTF! Are you kidding me. You don't recognize Gunbird.

He's also got this 2CC 2.4mil run with Tengai

There's no way to know that without clicking the link though, I thought that's the point

This. For a thread like this it's just generally considered polite to say what you're linking to so people have an idea what they're going to be watching prior to clicking the link so they can decide if it interests them or not.

It's a very skilled looking Tetsu run but it looks like you made a typo and it's actually a 1CC (instead of 2CC)? What's really crazy are the suicides in loop 1, what's the purpose? Does it really lower rank enough to make it easier?

Fully admit to not clicking the link, but that's because I'd already seen it in the "I DID IT" thread.

Oh I actually had like 15 mil so yeah. I just didn't look at the score after end-game bonuses.

No, of course I do. But that's not the issue. The problem is this:

I should ask for this in the OT music thread, too. Lots of folks drive-by posting YT links with no description.

Not as impressive as his Fireshark run. Crazy bullet hell from the start. Looks usually ultra fast.

The flamethrower definitely didn't seem to capture well. The flamethrower is really cool at max power, so it's really too bad that it kind of sucks against bosses and there are not a lot of sections that I can think of where you'd want the flamethrower instead of the blue spread shot. Better to be useful than cool, although just the ridiculous area that the spread shot covers at max power is pretty awesome as well.

1P arcade version is too difficult for my current skill level, but I'd like to try the 2P arcade version with the flamethrower as my main weapon next week just to see how it goes. Already did it on the Mega Drive last year and it went pretty well. Super excited to not have to play any of the arcade versions on MAME after next week either way. Mikado has the 1P version set up, but I'd rather not give that evil game any more of my cash in an arcade right now... of course I'll probably end up doing that tomorrow anyway.

The difficulty rank is easier and stronger firepower on 2player side on US/EU arcade, don't know about Japanese version which is definitely the hardest version.
