Re: Dodonpachi
Hi ! Thanks a lot for sharing this. Even though it might be an emulation issue; this may deserve some attention. When you talk about the "Last red ship before the boss"; are you talking about the ship which drops the bomb ? (see: at 11:45 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPWyYMoG0dY).khinra wrote: I play Dodonpachi on my Xbox, using FBA.
Well, a few days ago I was playing 4th stage. The zone of the last red ship before the boss. I used a bomb (I guess that in that moment I had all the bomb, but not Maximum) just before getting the bomb that red ship drops. Got Maximum. I remain shooting while the score starts to grow, and grows more and more, to 500.000.000!! A little more and I get the WR
I don't know what's happened, it was the first time that I see something like this. I tried to repeat it in a next play but this doesn't work
I believed that sharing this would be interesting, to know if someone experienced something similar. My english is very poor, so it's difficult for me to respond possible quotes
Greetings.
SInce your hit counter did not become crazy; there must have been "one hit" which gives a huge score; or a bug in the maximum bonus calculation. Do you remember which enemies you killed with the bomb and when exactly you used it ? Was it more at 11:43 ? 11:45 ?
Did you catch the bomb (from the red ship) IMMEDIATLY after bombing ?
Also; do you remember if your score was still increasing AFTER the last stage4 enemy (during the 3-4 seconds where we wait for the stage 4 boss, 12:03 to 12:07 in the video) ? In that case the bug would be a maximum bonus bug; and not a bug with the hits.
If you prefer to chat in another language; that is possible in French; Spanish and probably German

Re: Dodonpachi
btw the counterstop score that was posted was due to playing with extends every 10m points or something
the game has no limits on lives so if you get like 550m on that setting you get another 500m from life bonus and counterstop
this is likely just a glitch that isn't related to the current WR in any way

Re: Dodonpachi
I had been wondering about that, thanks for figuring it out. Still wonder about the 100m improvement on the record revealed earlier this year, though - that's got to be some sort of glitch/exploit.Bananamatic wrote:btw the counterstop score that was posted was due to playing with extends every 10m points or something

The glitch posted here is more likely than not an emulator fluke. Getting the maximum bonus under the circumstances described is normal behavior, but the rate of increase obviously isn't. Maybe the maximum bonus multiplier got set to a bad value through an underflow or something.

Re: Dodonpachi
Nice, updated.
Got rid of the VERSION field. I'm just gonna ignore the PS and Saturn versions like with Guwange's 360 version, if that's okay with everyone else.

The run is ugly (very bad loop2) and I signed "BLL" instead of "BLK". So don't hesitate to ask for the .inp file.
Anyway; I hope to quickly improve that !

I switched to the Japanese version (used to run on the International version before).
The run should have been a 400 millions, but bad play in 2-4, 2-5, 2-6.
Next time maybe !
Also, looking fwd to see 2-7 ^^

It's probably time to learn the 2-6 boss fight + Hibachi.

Re: Dodonpachi
I know this is a bad place to ask this question but I'm not sure any of the other threads are really active for this game. I'm starting to get back into shmupping regularly and decided I wanted to finally try and clear a Cave game.
My question is (hopefully) simple: What is the best/quickest type for a "beginner" to use to 2-ALL clear in DDP? Not trying to score at all, just want the clear. I'm guessing it's either C-S or C-L based on my limited research and a few hours of playing around in MAME using save states.
C-S at first seems intuitively the easiest since you have massive coverage for the stages, but the weakened laser seems like a liability against the bosses (and especially hibachi). Based on my terrible skills at this game I'm thinking maybe C-L is better for a "beginner" to try and 2-ALL this game since you can take down the bosses faster? I have ZERO goals for scoring in this game, and beyond reaching the loop requirements, my only other criteria is surviving the game.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Dodonpachi
Laser types have a higher movement speed while using the laser than shot types do. That's the main reason I prefer C-L over C-S. The laser feels more responsive in general. Even though the shot strength resets down to the minimum when you die (you lose one power level on the "primary" weapon but all power on the "secondary" weapon) I think C-L's shot is powerful enough even at minimum power.
Re: Dodonpachi
Good point, I forgot about that. All the more reason to use C-L.Vludi wrote:Loop 1 only, in loop 2 you only lose one power level for both primary and secondary weapon.Shepardus wrote:Even though the shot strength resets down to the minimum when you die

Re: Dodonpachi
hard to call it even that considering how much easier it is to play C-L than A-L except no one really realized it and the early dodonpachi guides straight up called it shit
A-L only really gets an advantage past 650m, before that you're just making the game way harder

Lol that is pretty embarrassing. I also can't stand the whole "western record" thing either, I'm glad they got rid of that terminology in the hall of records.Bananamatic wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJY_014jpsc
yes
Anyway, that is quite an insane score, how long did it take you to achieve? I remember you saying it only took you 2 weeks to 2-ALL the game, which is just insanely quick. I'm trying to 2-ALL it with a shit score (C-L as well) and haven't even reached the 2nd loop in a live run yet. I have done a shit ton of save-state practice of the second loop and also against hibachi (who is a massive asshole). I probably need to get to him with 3 or 4 lives to beat him, so I have a long way to go.
Congrats again!

Re: Dodonpachi
around 70 hours for pure survival 2-all, then another 170 or so hours for this score?
most of it was practice and it took around 40 or 50 credits, 14 of those got a no miss no bomb second loop
around 2 months of real time from coming back to the game after 2-all
