Good stuff. That charge shot looks really powerful.

If it wasn't for the deaths, the other videos and the fact that this seems to be recorded from a PCB (?), I would've assumed a TAS. Some of those dodges are completely unreal (like 08:41 and onwards or 15:55 onwards in the second video). It's mortifying to say the least.
How do people even beat Gradius III arcade once? 95% or more people end up getting stuck at Level 3 and going no further.

I've been working on some individual stage clears of Cambria Sword. Each stage is long enough that it may as well be considered a full game. So far I have stage 5 and stage 6/6+ (6+ isn't playable by itself, you have to access it from stage 6 or stage 4).

Stage 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXnyzU ... ZOsGffIQxb
Stage 6/6+: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOPGtFL ... ZOsGffIQxb

I also included in the playlist an older video of mine which plays through stages 1-4 (which is why I started my individual stage playthroughs at stage 5): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN6MNYK ... ZOsGffIQxb

While I'm on the subject, here's a full 1CC of the game played by someone who's clearly better at this than me:
Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFJyr1THPHE
Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jnFMfvbM74
Part 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FR-dS4i44o

Here's another full clear, this one of Easy mode (which is the same as Normal but with more frequent rare weapon spawns): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNdBxZKMUGQ

Added stages 7 and 8 to my Cambria Sword playlist. Stage 8 in particular is one of my favorites, and I hope this video can convey some of its appeal.

Stage 7 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tXG0od ... xb&index=4
Stage 8 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd_zUx_ ... xb&index=5

These stages are getting tougher; I expect stages 9 and 10 will take a while.

Nice to see him playing something other than Raiden Fighters 2. Even if he is a ship world record holder in RF2, he's pretty darn good at Battle Garegga. Its not in vertical orientation, but still an impressive run none the less on the 2016 M2 port. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGkmYDT2pcs

I ended up playing Stages 9 and 10 in Easy mode, which has the same patterns as normal but makes rare weapons much more common, so I had some fun with those.
Stage 9 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZHKgCC ... xb&index=7
Stage 10 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcwFtDp ... xb&index=8

Also got a new PB in Armed Police Batrider, clearing the game with Maria-C: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNpXBUf2bP0

Twin Cobra F2P. Actually a decent play apart from sensitive touchscreen and ads after each play.

I recorded a 1ALL of Mahou Daisakusen for the Calice Cup tournament. Check out my sick recoveries on the boss rush. Down to the wire; it's the only way to shmup!

I 'spiced' it up by adding some window dressing using the manga that blackoak translated on the sides. Hence my title of 'deluxe,' to add some hyperbole to an otherwise 'ordinary' clear (I don't think any 1ALL of this game is ordinary, but hey!). 8)

My only wish is that Vegas could get the zoomed-in 240x320 game screen looking a little crisper. Does anyone have experience converting these games to HD youtube videos?

I'm unfamiliar with Vegas, but you might want to check what sort of scaling options it has. When I encode videos using FFmpeg I use nearest-neighbor scaling (as opposed to bilinear, trilinear, etc.) to avoid drowning out the pixels in a blur of filtering.

Congrats on the clear, by the way!

Didn't wanna post this YouTube run, but after several failed attempts to record a better 1CC run, I thought f**k it and just post this for now.
https://youtu.be/UDcnHkcy1dM

A few glitches here and there but the most annoying thing is the background noise for my smartphone mic. Any suggestions on a better screen recording app over Google Play would be helpful.

First experimental 1CC on latest update Striker's 1945 update. less frequent ads than previous update. Doesn't slowdown during play unless running screen recorder. shot damage is better on Very Hard difficulty. Impossible to trigger DORAMASCHER frieght train because of auto fire which was possible on the earliest version on stage 1.
Not any more on this version. Poor sound quality and phone doesn't record in HD.

I'm much more enthusiastic than I am good at these games but I was happy to get my first 1CC of Battle Garegga 2016 Premium Arrange, which went right to the wire. I don't really know how this mode works and I'm still learning about Arcade Mode and managing rank but it's a start, anyway, and a really fun game to clear. The soundtrack is God Tier, I'm obsessed with it at the moment!

Gold ending 1CC with P-38 Lighting, Pilot Cindy Volton wears bodypaint at 15:17-15:21. Still poor video quality with Google play screen recorder. Need to sort this out for 2CC run.

Old post but I figured I'd throw in my two-cents. You want to record at the highest resolution possible before you bring it into your editing software. So if you're doing MAME and recording with OBS, do the highest resolution you can (say, 1080p60). Make sure all graphical filters are off in MAME for the sharpest picture. There are other OBS settings to tinker with, but the idea is to work with the highest quality clip rather than having your editing software upscale.

I use Sony Vegas. I am not familiar with an upscaling plug-in, but you need to be aware that the software "re-samples" any video clip by default. You need to disable this, otherwise you get a softer/blurry image with ghosting (obviously not good for retro games). Right click the clip, select "Properties" at the bottom, then select "Disable Resample". Also, on the track itself you want to disable motion blur as well. This is a subtle effect but is also applied to a video track by default. It's one of the buttons on the far left of the track, right next to the track title/description. Disabling these two things, particularly the resampling, will make the footage look cleaner. It's still recommended to record at the highest quality possible.

I'm assuming this is very low hanging fruit around these parts, but, like Kevin Rowland, I'm telling anyone who'll listen*. Got my 1cc on DoDonPachi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kByhVycmUOg

Feel free to mock my lack of chaining, and utterly shameless boss bombing :lol:

edit: * Oh shit, I didn't realise that song had an official video! So far, people are pretending to be irish and having their breakfast and holding up Harrods bags. It's not going well.
I am so glad we couldn't afford MTV growing up.
Oh, hang on, his harrods bag was full of newspaper. Now I don't know what to think!!!

New releases from Mobirix. Both play pretty decent.
When I unlock Very Hard Difficulty, will upload 1CC video on both titles.
