You and I must be distantly related, since that video pretty much sums up my relationship with most any shmup I've ever played.

shmups rape me so badly that my ass hurts

Something totally random always has to go wrong XD

That one's great, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done that

Well, I think I'm the lamer of the lamest. I can't even get to 4th stage's boss.

VeganZombie · Post by **VeganZombie** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:01 pm

It happens to the best of us..

Sadly, I still can't chain my way past 45 in Ikaruga's 1st stage.

Damn me and my need for perfection...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's addicted to the shmups he can't ever beat..

Can't believe how badly that video ripped me apart.

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:35 pm

I couldn't kill the sixth boss in DDP neither. I think the last form is pretty difficult, still a painful death as you almost had him down.

haha, I remember this one, it was during the "shmeets". A good laugh anyway.

Super Laydock · Post by **Super Laydock** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 5:09 pm

It´s a lame death, but getting to 1-6 in DDP ain´t bad at all shoe-sama!
You can still be proud of yourself.

Actually that reminds of myself a lot. After having played Gradius 2 on the MSX (where you could fly into the core, after defeating the boss, to enter bonus levels) I happened up doing the same in other Gradii. Not with much succes though.

That's the first time a shmup video has made me laugh like a little girl. Nice one, Icarus!

I share your pain, I too suck ass at DDP.

Dale · Post by **Dale** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 8:54 pm

What kind of video capturing method did you use? The video had excellent picture quality and even better sound quality.

You dont seem that bad though, I'm kinda suprised you got hit by that first attack in Dodon after watching you beat the true final boss of Cho Ren.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 9:06 pm

Well that was actually the first time I fought the 1-6 boss. I watched vids of it before so I wasn't completely clueless, but yeah.

Oh and I used ekmame's avi recording option for that.

Sonic R · Post by **Sonic R** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 9:15 pm

I am the suck. I cant get to the second level boss on DoDonPachi. I had the game for 3 weeks and thats the best I could do. I just don't get DoDonPachi. I must be that bad. All my friends (the ones who like shooties) love to play it , I have to leave the room - I won't touch the controller cause I am that bad and look the fool

<---- the worst DoDonPachi player of ALL TIME!

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 9:31 pm

DDP isn't so horrible once you've adjusted to the hitbox location though. It's center of ship as in most shmups. I used to get pwned all the time in DDP because I was totally clueless, but once I figured that out, I was like omg this is so much easier. I can't really explain why, but it makes an enormous difference.

CIT · Post by **CIT** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 10:35 pm

Why do you get 6 bombs after you die? Isn't the default bomb stock 3?

The bomb stock increases with every lost life.

Well that is frustrating... I know how you feel because I died nearly just as shortly before killing that last DDP boss.

mrkotfw · Post by **mrkotfw** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 11:46 pm

Ah, you're waaay better than I am! I can't even get get to the third Boss without dying!

jeremycarrier · Post by **jeremycarrier** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 12:07 am

OMG, that has GOT to suck. Almost past the first loop. That's a a dual-bladed sword there(or however the saying goes)

On one hand, "HELL YEAH, I beat the first loop of DDP on one credit!"
On the other hand, "Now I gotta do it twice as frustrating!"

Using that Type-B ship, you were destined for failure. I mean who uses that?

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 12:32 am

Well I suck too much to meet any requirements for loop 2 anyway so oh well.
