Is there a page online or a thread here that gives a comprehensive overview of every scoring aspect in Blazing Star?

I am not 100% sure, as iI played it in Japanese, but since nobody has answered this, i think it's

I don't really think there's much difference between characters. Pretty sure it's the same for everyone, though the actual words might be different.xxx1993 wrote:For Kart,Spoiler

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
Can anyone tell me if the PC port of Raiden III is inferior or superior to the PS2 release? There are mixed things I hear about resolution and controller support for the PC release, which make me wonder if playing it on the PS2 might be the better choice.

Well, you do fight her as a boss... What happens when you defeat her, though?

When did Photobucket change their policy? Just noticed all my old proof pics seem to be visible again.

Her ship slows down and drifts offscreen. You don't see it blow up, or even catch fire, and the characters don't act like she died.xxx1993 wrote:Well, you do fight her as a boss... What happens when you defeat her, though?
I don't think bosses actually die in Ginga Force. Most of the criminal bosses you defeated earlier come back to help you at the end of the game.

The main villain, Viridian, definitely dies, though. His ship explodes and you hear him scream.

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
That's as far as I recall, right? It does look like Viridian is the only character to kick the bucket out of all the others. Unless there's a mentioning that he got arrested after the destruction of his fighter.

Both are basically identical, as far as I know.

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
As Keres says they're pretty much identical in the ways that count, but two notable differences do come to mind: the Japanese release came with a replay DVD, but also had some issues upon release which were later fixed with a patch, while the US version has the patch on the disc. Some folks also make a big deal about the cheesy lazers 'shopped onto the US box art, but I'll leave that one alone, heh.mgtn wrote:Wich es the best version of Raiden Fighters Ace on XBOX 360 USA or JPN?
Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
Yeah but most annoyingly the US one won't play on a JP 360 ... and of course JP Aces is overpriced.

You can rip the backgrounds and sprites through graphic check in dipswitch. But I don't know how this works.xxx1993 wrote:There a creditless, full screen pic of the good and bad endings of Sexy Parodius anywhere?
Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
I don't know how that works either. Someone needs to do it.

Re: Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread
The bad end's the one with the statue right? Mechanically it looks quite simple to do; as the image scrolls down and the credits are displayed, just keep taking screenshots - if you take a whole bunch of screenshots you'd eventually be able to make a composite by copying and pasting only the sections you snapped with no words over them. It'd just be a time consuming process.xxx1993 wrote:I don't know how that works either. Someone needs to do it.
Wouldn't require anything as complex as disabling the credits scroll, etc.
Just tried, compositing the image isn't that complex - the characters are layered and it's not one static image (they actually move slightly as it scrolls down, so it's not just snapping one shot of an image) so it takes a bit of time to do properly and make a nice looking final image, but again, this isn't mechanically difficult to do with decent editing software like GIMP with a bunch of screenshots.

Thank you. But the statue is actually the good ending.
