Wow, I posted this more than two years ago. So in 2018 after clearing Gradius III AC and Danmaku Unlimited 3 Graze True I realized I want to clear something even harder. I thought if some really hard clears require tons of hours from any player I can spend tons of hours too so hard game will be much more comfortable for me. Somehow. Without any understanding how actually I will improve. That's how I started to play
Dodonpachi Daioujou White Label. Without any understanding how hard is this game and why. Yes, 2-ALL.
Two years ago I had a lot of struggle with just clearing any stage or any boss fight on my second loop practice. Especially the later ones. I tried not to think how I will do 2-ALL and how hard it is. Hibachi alone was impossible for me but I also tried not to think about it - maybe I will improve my skill somehow after months of playing? Instead of that I tried to focus on my practice successes. Finally did 2-3 no miss? Cool. 2-3 with boss fight? Even better. Two stages in a row? Awesome. I spent some months on practice until I was able to clear stages from 2-1 to 2-4 and from 2-4 to Koryu.
I started to do a full runs but this game still had impression of being impossible. Even 2-1 was scary for me and 2-3 boss or 2-4 railguns was for me especially scary. I hoped I will be not nervous if I'll reach later stages more and more. And it worked. Also I practiced this game more and more trying to improve my strategies. Livestreaming and chatting was pretty cool because I also learned a lot of strategies from DOJ players. Learning about safe Hibachi 3 miss strategy basically saved my hope to clear this game.
But even when I was able to consistently reach 2-3 boss or clear him it was still insanely hard. I can die on 2-4 railguns, on 2-4 boss fight, on 2-5 anywhere and on final boss rush too. And random failures on 2-3 or 2-2 or even 2-1 was still possible for me. Even many times in a row.
Is it possible to predict when I will clear this game? Damn, I was so close to defeat Hibachi a few times and every time it happened suddenly and then I died because of mistakes and nerves. I doubted myself many times if I actually able to clear this game or I will be nervous just every time.
And this time I suddenly reached Hibachi again. And suddenly cleared the game.
So yeah, this is Dodonpachi Daioujou White Label 2-ALL clear. When I cleared this it was unbelieveable for me. It only became believeable when I played input file from the beginning to the end to see - yes, it's real. Still hard to believe...

), although unfortunately the planes dont turn into mechs and punch you like in Strikers 1945. Scoring looks fun in Raiden Fighters, and a little crazy. And I love that website -
