I must hang my head in shame...
As I stated in another thread, I've been working on a No Miss run of the first loop in Gradius Gaiden with the Jade Knight.
Well, I thought for sure that I had it this time..
"However, fate, it seems... is not without a sense of WTS!"
I'm sure you will all get a good laugh from this. All I felt at the time was shock... the sheer level of bullshitery left me speachless.
Please enjoy my ineptitude:
I don't believe it!
Grah!

No you musn't Kiken! You've still got more gameplay skillz then any other shmupper I've met on this site!
Why don't you put up some Chaos Field Superplays; as of the old forum you seemed to be doing pretty well on that shmup.

I haven't watched your replay yet - only downloaded it.
But before I watch it I'll tell you that my almost-1-lifer was foiled by the triangle-boss during the boss rush. That thing always gives me problems.
I've only finished Gaiden twice. On the last attempt I died once ... on that thing boss that has 3 parts connected by electricity. I hate that freaking boss.
When you do get your 1 lifer, please avi it - I love your videos.

Ahhh, take it easy on yourself. I've done it only once out of 26 one-credit-clears. That was with the Viper too, which makes it easier to traverse through the levels with its excellent double. I nearly did it once in the second loop but lost on the the next-to-last boss of the rush. I nearly cried then.
I'm sure you'll do it.
I'm sure you'll do it.

Would you believe me if I told you I've done that?The vagrant wrote:i actually smiled, but expected worse, like banging yourself on the exploding last boss, someting funny like that.
It was during my early Gaiden 1CCs, so I was really nervous.

It was a "heh" moment. Very cool seeing how you play the game Kiken, we have occasionaly very different methods to tackling the bosses. 'Course, I use Vic Viper and Double like UFO, but still.
Closest I ever got to one-life clear was when I played perfectly up until the moving walls section in Stage 9 and stupidly forgot to move into safety before the last walls closed down, never to open again...

No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Marathon weekend of attempts to get my first 1CC of Ikaruga, this is how one run ended. (Note the timer)

I did exactly the same with Ikaruga. 9 months of total concentration during the gaming time I had. I played nothing else. I got to the last boss with two men. I died straight away on the boss, for some stupid reason I just didn't move! And then I died with 8 seconds left!
I screamed and have only played it once since, and that was to show someone else it. I'm just all Ikaruga'd out.
I moved onto Gradius V and was getting through it slowly but then one day I had a "quick" game of Viewtifull Joe... and then as I got half way through that I bought my Space Ace cabinet... and I've barely played a video game since because it's so damned big I can't sit in front of my TV anymore.
I'll probably go backwards when I get the space back, Joe, Gradius V, maybe Ikky again but more likely Armed Police Batrider
Cheers
