I'm offended by your suggestion playing shmups makes you a tiny bit weird
I'll have you know everyone I shmup with is extremely weird :V
Squire GrooktookToday at 12:06 PM
but yeah, honestly. If what I've heard is true that he's basically on disability and spends all his time on this...both his runs and his reaction make a lot more sense tbh
BareKnuckleRooToday at 12:08 PM
And you pretty much have to be an ultra weirdo to play bullet hells.
I suggested he might possibly be on disability as a potential reason he can play games so much but I have no idea what his actual situation is honestly.
But I am in full agreement with you - chances are he was legit but just got offended at the suggestion or who knows what
It's really unfortunate though cause his writing is super interesting and I find it seriously hard to believe that level of dedication is backed by fakery
not to mention most of the video evidence isn't
like that akuu gallet dodge was mundane as all hell
Squire GrooktookToday at 12:16 PM
Yeah
I think a big chunk of it is people who haven't played the games a substantial amount of time thinking something is crazier than it is.
like fucking Batsuugan Special
I blind multi-looped that game
the hitboxes are too small. You can literally flail through bullet clouds for fun in that game
BareKnuckleRooToday at 12:23 PM
The Batsugun Special one is pretty believable, I have made very stupid dodges too like that
I assumed he wanted to save both his bombs for the final boss for the damage and tried to save it there
and yeah, the hitbox is minuscule compared to Batsugun normal

It's a very flail friendly game, and a very easy one too.
BareKnuckleRooToday at 12:25 PM
Maximo posted a vid link he finds suspicious, but if I were unfamiliar with the game that looks kinda how I'd attempt to flail through it too
It is pretty believable that someone who runs a wide variety of games has more skill just kinda winging it with their dodges too and has routes that are more unpolished
Squire GrooktookToday at 12:26 PM
it's all really ironic because someone in chum's crowed (2huplayer or osmething on youtube) used to make compilation videos of the hypest and craziest improv dodges in 2hu scoreplays.
BareKnuckleRooToday at 12:26 PM
Some of them might be stuck in the pro replay, always follow the optimal route mindset and are forgetting how a game can look when you learn it on your own for a first time clear
especially if you aren't watching replays
Squire GrooktookToday at 12:31 PM
yeah I said something like that earlier.
BareKnuckleRooToday at 12:31 PM
the Giga Wing no reflect almost clear with Isha on Nicovideo was frankly no help to me, I was getting to the TLB with more resources and still having trouble, I had to learn a route that probably looks stupid
There's a lot of times when realistically you can improv stuff and if someone is playing these games dedicatedly there's the real possibility he's got genuinely good improv dodging skills
Squire GrooktookToday at 12:37 PM
mind if I just copy and paste this convo into a post? I think the comments on the games and the analysis of how these scoreplayers might be looking at things is a pretty good explication.
BareKnuckleRooToday at 12:38 PM
yeah, sure
