going by the katakana, the Hepburn romanization would be with a 'k'.
but on the chara page of Cave's site for the game...

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Tue May 22, 2007 9:47 am

It's Reco.

Seconded. Sorry for unnecessary bump.
BTW, my friend misread the title of the game as "Mushihimesama Futanari".

Quick'n'dirty:

MODE SELECT

Original
With few bullets, this is a simple and easy-to-play mode.

Maniac
Enemy attacks become more varied, so this is a harder mode than original.

Needs some better Englishification, but this is roughly what it says.

The bottom manic mode is brutal as hell too, it starts kicking your ass right away :/ Sort of like Galuda arrange only twice as hard I'd say.

In ver. 1.5 or 1.0? I'd agree somewhat with ver 1.0, but 1.5's Maniac mode is about as hard as Mushi 1's Maniac mode. In other words, not all that hard.

wasn't version 1.0 meant to be too easy?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Fri May 25, 2007 3:14 pm

I thought Maniac's 1.5 was substantially easier than 1.0's. I'd say it's of "fair" difficulty. NOt Ketsui, not DOJ. Definitely not as easy as Mushi original as ESPGaluda. Probably similar ot ESPGaluda II.

futari ost available for pre-order for $39.95 at play-asia

i quite like this ost.

I paid a little more on YHJ, I wasn't expecting PA to sell them at less than $50

Shit happens, you live and you learn, that's just the way the cookie crumbles etc. etc.

No, 1.0 is much harder than 1.5. 1.5 was made a bit easier because people complained 1.0 was too hard.

I went to Hey! today for the first time in a long time. Saw a guy playing Maniac (Palm). The high score on there was 825 mil, which I thought was pretty impressive. What's the current record in Arcadia?

ha you were at Hey! today? I was over in Bukuro, watching a guy 1cc Futari original. he didnt quite beat the machines 377 mil highscore though.

Yep, and probably won't be back for months.

TWE any idea what the new password is:

thx

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu May 31, 2007 12:36 am

The password is "rikosuke", but it should be in the MMP thread, not the Mushi Futari thread (as it's a vid of the MMP 5th boss fight).

NTSC-J · Post by **NTSC-J** » Thu May 31, 2007 3:23 am

Mushioujou has a video up in his 5/27 entry, but I guess it's another regional thing. If anyone is able to grab it and upload it that would be super.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu May 31, 2007 3:26 am

Yeah, it's a 70mil stage 5 Original mode boss fight vid. Getting 70mill off her in Original is pretty impressive.

Anyway, I tried downloading and was rejected as usual. At least GaijinPunch can watch it!

MrMonkeyMan · Post by **MrMonkeyMan** » Thu May 31, 2007 3:56 am

40 million of those points are from his remaining lives. It would have been 50 million but he gets sniped just moments before finishing off the boss. I wonder what his stage end bonus would be if he hadn't died since he ends with 474 million.

It also shows the last minute of stage 5.

I wonder why I can download it? Guess I'll put it on Megaupload or something. Kind of out of space on my site at the moment.

EDIT
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S0Z9F3KX

There you go. Have fun.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu May 31, 2007 4:42 am

Thanks for the upload. The guy states on his blog he estimates he could get 92 mil from the 5th boss (including end of game bonus) with a no miss/no bomb, and his current theoretical perfect run would yield a WR score of 508mil.

NTSC-J · Post by **NTSC-J** » Thu May 31, 2007 5:34 am

That guy got fucking robbed. Still, really impressive playing, he's inches from the record.

It's been a while since I last played, I forgot how fast Original was. Despite the so-so art design, I still think it's one of Cave's funnest games.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu May 31, 2007 5:43 am

Man, he did get robbed. I have to say, watching that vid makes me wonder if there is bullet-speed rank in Original mode. I've played through Original loads of times, and I can't say I've ever seen the bullets quite that fast at the end of the level and on the boss, but then again I've never gotten to those parts of the game with a no miss. Hmm.
