Words: Dodonpachi credit got off to a good start but then it all crashed when i died twice on 1-5 and once at the start of 2-1. Also died most stupidly at 2-3 midboss. Also had two deaths in 2-4, one of which was cringe-worthy. Finally game overed on 2-5. I don't really play this game for the time being so i'm morbidly out of practice with it hence the deaths to almost entirely shitty stupid spots. It takes being in good form to run this game without making silly errors all over. The survival is mostly simple (sans the obvious chokepoints of course) but you gotta be in good form and follow the good routes. If you don't then it gets tougher and as mistakes pile up, so does the self confidence go down.
Strikers... As Psikyo goes, you must expect to memorize a great deal about it before you can get anywhere. This one i have hardly ever played! When i got it in, i played it for a bit and figured that it seemed cool and all but i wanted to play Gunbird 2 instead. So now when i try it, i have basically no experience i have no idea what the bosses are gonna do so reaching stage 6 on what is essentially first credit (although it really is 2nd credit, i hadn't actually learned or memorized anything) and falling short of the extend kinda gives me an idea of how easy 1-alls in Psikyo truly are. I know that this game is a mad beast in the second loop though so its still on my list of awesome games that I should totally learn to play better one day.
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: A crap run as could be expected. I don't really play this game very much. I had one death to stage 4 on Patchouli's 2nd non-spell if you'd believe that which kinda killed my confidence which lead me to die to Mercury Poison and bomb the rest of her spells. Sakuya went down nice though with just one bomb on the opener and otherwise no deaths or bombs. Stage 6 went terrible with like deaths on Meek, Illusion and Gensokyo. I'm a bit sad that I couldn't compensate with at least a Gensokyo capture but well, that's how it is.
Mushihimesama: I don't like this game very much so far so i've only played it for a short while. This time i had the misfortune of picking something that's not the bottom shot so I had the displeasure of moving at a snails pace while Psikyo bullets were going around. I died so much to things i shouldn't and I completely and utterly suck at this game. Fair enough, i haven't played it much but damn I did not enjoy that experience lol, i felt like my combination of difficulty mode and shot type had set me up for a run where i'm horrifyingly ill-equipped to handle what's expected of me.
Shmups forum is truly a scary place, but that's exactly why the colonel has trusted you with this mission...
I thought that the shooter sections were all right but nothing special. The bosses had pretty cool designs and decent bullet patterns. Overall, pretty OK from what I played. I wouldn't mind playing them again. Stage 2 was quite cryptic but there was nothing particularly bad about the gameplay or enemy designs. I get the feeling that it's a game that you need to put a little more time into than a random credit
