Thanks, Ing

Did not expect to defeat the stage 5 boss this run.

1ALL before the year is over?????

prales way too good at games

prales how

Thanks all for the encouragement

I played a couple credits of Trux 2 as a break from 達人王, but got extremely owned at the penultimate checkpoint. May try to 1-ALL Trux2 first, maybe not.

Notable moments:
No stage 03 boss timeout
No miss to stage 04 boss
Messed up the easy section of stage 05 after the midboss, which cost me a bomb
Entered stage 06 with 6 extra lives and still didn't make it - very weak stage 06 in general

*remove my score please*

2nd 1-ALL of Truxton II (first one didn't beat my old score, this one technically does)

2nd loop is significantly less difficult than the 達人王 version.

INCREDIBLE! YOU DID IT!

UPLOAD THIS TO YOUTUBE, PLEASE!

Thanks for the compliment - I'll get this uploaded in the next few days.

Slight score improvement. Didn't make it to the stage 3 boss this time, though (lol). I'll get past it in a serious attempt at some point.

And less than 12 hours later, I have done just that! That painful stage 3 checkpoint cost me all my reserves, but I managed to get through it on my last ship and execute a successful boss timeout. Expect more improvements in the future.

If you mean the checkpoint I think you're talking about (the one with the yellow and purple tanks right before the boss checkpoint), then yeah that checkpoint is cursed. One of the worst in the game for sure. Very good that you actually recovered there; I've had many runs where I died there and lost everything trying to recover. GAME OVER lol

First time making it to stage 5! Now the real fun begins...

One more slight improvement before I go on the stage 5 grind. Going to work on that for a while before I attempt this game again.

Seems that the most significant changes in the loop are enemy behavior/bullet pattern changes. I would argue that even with the general changes to enemy health/bullet speed/firing frequency that many parts of Truxton II's second loop are still easier than the first loop of 達人王.

My God... you're actually progressing into the second loop? You're on another level prales.

Thank you, Ing!

this man cannot be stopped

The absolute madman.

Stage 6! Looks like all that time I spent grinding stage 5's really paid off! Now to just learn stage 6, and I should get that clear before too much longer!
