1-All'd Ketsui, and with a good 2 extra lives to spare. I broke down and used the Tiger Schwert, but honestly the spread shot is really helpful for rapidly taking down targets, and the Panzer Jager's speed is only negligibly faster when using the lock on. If the Panzer were much faster (like Laser vs Shot style difference in Dodonpachi) I think I'd find it better, but its speed is only really faster when using the rapid shot. Panzer's better for scoring and in the 2nd loops where revenge bullets are spawned I'd imagine, but the Tiger's very manageable.
The final boss went alarmingly well considering it was the first time I fought it in a live run, and hadn't credit fed to it in about a zillion years.

I did it! 1CC'ed Espgaluda!
I hate Jakou. I really really hate Jakou.
Bought Logitech F310 recently. The D-pad is really good, at least for me.

Espgaluda is so good. One of CAVE's very best. I think it's the combination of the inspired art style and unapologetically techno soundtrack. There just isn't another game that both looks and sounds like this, or atleast didn't at the time.leodash wrote:I did it! 1CC'ed Espgaluda!

Also the difficulty curve is something else. A kinder, gentler first 5 stages and then one of the most terrifying and difficult bosses in a shmup to close it out. And while that sounds kinda bad on paper, I think it works to create a really memorable and immensely satisfying game. I bet damn near eveyone who clears that game will remember it for a very long time. And since the earlier levels aren't super intense by CAVE standards it's possible to stock up on lives and bombs for the big duel at the end.
Congrats!
Re: I DID IT! Share your latest 1CCs/other triumphs here...
Agreed. I have some of Espgaluda soundtracks I put under 'My Favorite Shmups OST' playlist on Youtube so I can hear them again.To Far Away Times wrote:Espgaluda is so good. One of CAVE's very best.

Yeah, this game is definitely intense during TLB fight and it definitely requires some learning.
Btw Logitech F310 is really nice! The only flaw for me is it can break too easily but I do every shmup on this gamepad including the hardest clears!

Got the GUWANGE 1cc during the weekend! I think that one really stands out among the rest of the cave shmups.

Today I accomplished my greatest shmup achievement. I lost two lives in stage 1 and didn't restart my run. I know to many this is not a big deal. But restart syndrome is real.

Re: I DID IT! Share your latest 1CCs/other triumphs here...
Miwa, congrats on a tough clear; I have skimmed and will be rewatching when I want to eventually get that clear myself (furthest I've gotten is stage 5 boss). I use the archer gal though; hopefully most skills transfer over.
This too is an accomplishment! Fight against the urge to bin every run. I've had a few runs (e.g. Mahou Daisakusen) where I died embarrassingly early on but gritted through to get an improbable 1cc/1all!mastermx wrote:Today I accomplished my greatest shmup achievement.

In most of my runs for horizontal memorizer style games I just quit as soon as I lose a life. Though not always.
And I'll almost never restart a vertical shmup if I die early, since there isn't that much punishment on death usually and unless you need to completely maximize your resources to squeak by you'll be allowed a dumb death or two.

As a good example to add to this discussion, earlier this evening I managed to get my first clear of Castle Shikigami 1, playing the PC version. I've been practicing it on and off over the last few weeks and was constantly getting setback through dumb deaths etc.To Far Away Times wrote:In most of my runs for horizontal memorizer style games I just quit as soon as I lose a life.

In my clear, I had two very stupid deaths on stage 1, of all places. In a game where you start with 3 lives and some pretty far-out extends. Usually I would quit there with 2 deaths but I was sick of restarting over and over again (the end of a long practice session), so I decided to just play it out. Despite being down 2 lives, I didn't get hit again until the final boss! And this was after earning back two score extends (and getting a third on the boss itself). I luckily recorded the video here.
So it's a good idea to never give up -too- early, within reason!

Re: I DID IT! Share your latest 1CCs/other triumphs here...
Nice going on Shikigami! I have some fond memories of playing this game on PC maaaany years ago.
I totally agree about trying to make the most of every run. Nice to see how this approach paid off for you.
Where it gets difficult for me is playing for score on a game like Thunder Force series or Darius series where you get an absolutely massive end of game bonus for a no miss. It becomes all about that final bonus screen as you see your score literally double in one moment. One death might mean you already know you will already be at least 1 million below your best.
I read the advice of a superplayer once. It was SWY or somebody along those lines, although I can't remember the exact interview now. Their advice was to not restart, but to use those botched runs to experiment more aggressively. Get some practice on a trickier pattern that nets more points, or milk a boss that you normally just quick kill. Now you have permission to play around a bit and take more risks while still having the pressure of going for the 1cc during a full run. Just give yourself a secondary goal to play for to keep the run fun and interesting.
One of the drawbacks with save states is while they're great for learning and studying, the removal of all pressure to perform doesn't prepare you for the choke factor that comes in when you get nervous on an actual run.
It's like learning a combo in training mode for a fighting game vs being able to land it under pressure against a good opponent. It can take a few minutes or hours to learn in training mode, but years to become that zen master that is rock solid under pressure.

In the early morning of December 6th, I scored over 12 million points and cleared eight loops of Tatsujin! This credit lasted around four hours and fifteen minutes.

Re: I DID IT! Share your latest 1CCs/other triumphs here...
Thanks! I wouldn't say it got boring, but by around loop 5 or so, I could feel fatigue starting to set in, and it caused me to make a few careless moves that almost got me killed, and in a couple of cases, did get me killed. Thankfully, I was able to hold it together long enough to get the score!
As for Tatsujin Oh, can't say I'll be getting 10m anytime soon. Having to endure the extremely high difficulty level of loop 2+ for multiple hours is a challenge that, at least right now, is far beyond my abilities. Perhaps someday, I'll get good enough at the game to do that. Who knows?

Re: I DID IT! Share your latest 1CCs/other triumphs here...
Finally got a 1-ALL on Kyukyoku Tiger.
Oh boy it did take some time, I always mess up at some point and recovering is really hard (but very fun too) during the second half. I thought the run was over when I died at the last stage 8 checkpoint with 2 lives remaining but I somehow managed to make a comeback. Very fun run, I don't think I died twice at the same checkpoint actually.
Didn't go too far in the second loop unfortunately.
I have a lot of nostalgia for the game but never really tried to 1cc it, finally clearing it was satisfying.

Finally put together a clear on the ACA release of Zero Team on Switch! I'm pretty happy about getting this, beat 'em up's are not a strong genre for me usually. Really fun game, I'm so glad it has been ported to consoles.

Re: I DID IT! Share your latest 1CCs/other triumphs here...
Great! Ive also made three Darius Twin runs this year and did even a path with the in my opinion hardest world "H" but with "K" after that: ABDEHKL
But I had really just not enough fun with this game to make a better run without lifeloss or something... The Red Mist killed me twice.
But anyway I've recorded it here: https://youtu.be/0TT4kaPfOpM
I accidently got the non piercing shot at the end, wich made it a bit harder^^
I've also made a bossmilk-score-run (have just a screenshot) with over 4 million pts.
And on the route ACDFIKL I managed to get through the game without a lost life... but not with this score: https://youtu.be/aQNZ2MLAgW4
I've also made three runs in Turrican (-like) games. No STGs but anyway:

and the R13 Cerberus: https://youtu.be/Ofbl0FOoQx8
The latest little 1cc was in Tiger Heli on the NES. Here Ive made a 2-All and the first loop without losing one life:
