Strikers 1945 II - 2nd Round/Loop Boss Replays

Post by Ex_Mosquito »

Okay, inspired my Mills S1945 replay, I made some 1945II 2nd Round boss replays :). The sound de-synch is pretty bad, sometimes a few seconds off but the videos are pretty good quality.

Note: i used one bomb on the Blimp boss last form :x. There is a very tight safe spot near the bomb icon that requires only one tap, but with the hayate it's just too risky.

Very nice!

Full tate is so much better compared to PSX re-balanced. :(

Outside of bosses, those turrets in the town level must be one of the most difficult segments in the game. Do you handle that part no-bomb as well?

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed them.

Hah no, i always bomb on that section:) You collect another bomb soon after though just before the boss. I dont think that section is even possible without a bomb. :?

Neon, i have an ALL pancake replay, you can still grab it at http://www.hk-stg.net i think. I used to have a hayate replay by a HongKong player called WC, but i've since lost/deleted it. :? Annoying really, it was such a great replay.

Venom was kind enough to hook me up with that a while back. Truly amazing play. He also bombed on the turret section. :wink:

Venom hosted it on Icarus' site?(I think it was Icarus) a while back, not sure if it's still there. Sadly I am on 56K, but I could put it in a cd and give it to you at the shmup meet if you are going?
