Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou [Arcade/PS2/X360]

[Ravid]

Finally beat the first loop, with crappy chain.



Ravid - 136,895,080 - A-E - 5 - 1012

Note that I achieved this on a ps2 emulator, which afaik my PC can run without additional slowdown (Mushihimesama on the other hand is a different matter). If you don't want to accept it for that reason then I suppose it's your prerogative.

[jpj]

well done on clearing the loop

[lgb]

So 100M is a "first step" for this game as well as DDP?

[moozooh]

Personally, I wouldn't say that. It seems rather to be a 2:5 ratio between DDP and DOJ (i.e., 40 million in DDP ≈ 100 million in DOJ). Which is to say, 100M is not a first step for DDP, by far. First 1-ALL usually happens between 40 and 60 million.

[elfhentaifan]

id still say it was the first goal for everyone here

[ave]

Certainly. As for DDP I would definitely agree with that 40m-border, it took me exactly as long to get 40 (49 actually) mio in DDP as for 100 in DOJ.

[ncp]

Not sure how you could call 100m a "first step" in DDP, I'm more likely to reach Hibachi before scoring 100m as I don't like chaining in DDP nearly as much as DOJ

just a friendly reminder guys: i get an email everytime someone posts in this thread, maybe we can chat about this in the thread in the strat section

This sounds like an invitation for trouble.

QUOTE THIS POSTor leave it!

[PROMETHEUS]

it's way easier to get 100M in DOJ, you only have to perform the first 2 chains, in DDP you need almost the first 5 chains.

[jpj]

yeah thanks

Guess where the extra points came from. No clear this time due to three (!) deaths on stage 4 boss. No pic either.

[jpj]

nice chaining, sorted

[Ravid]

Here is a pic to celebrate the 200m milestone. The rank in this game is monstrous, if I play well up to the stage 3 boss (chaining, collecting all bees) it hurts me. On the other hand, this run came out of two stupid deaths on stage 4. The overall effect is that I score similarly regardless of where I die, so I suppose it's pretty well balanced in that regard.

[Ravid]

Last score before I switch to an actual physical PS2 and a TV



Ravid - 279,240,360 - A-E - 5 - 2291

All came together this run. Except for missing the 1up and being so wracked with nerves by the stage 5 boss that I couldn't dodge anything worth a damn.

[jpj]

awesome work dude, that's some mighty quick progress

thank you bee hive, for making me suffer.

Doesn't move me up a place, but thought I'd post it anyway since it's a 300mil loop score. Second loop is hard.

[malik11]

Second loop is hard.

Yes, this is true, but the game's replay value is phenomenal.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of stage five, perhaps.

TOM - 82,906,460 - B-L - 1769 Hit

Cannon's a bitch. I think I keep losing because I'm not waiting at the corner to point blank it; as soon as I get up there, I get ganked in the mouth by a tasty, closed pattern. I've lost at least twice now with tons of bombs in stock because I'm silly and I want the 1up :)

I did say I was going to wait until I broke 100 million, but whatever.

Also, I should never have stopped playing for score. I always get the farthest with the most lives when I'm pulling into the Stage 2 boss with a kadrillion points and 4 extra stock. Quick rape of the boss, then it's off to 3 to get buttrocked by the huge rank spike from burning seven or eight hypers in 2 :)

[joeboto]

i was able to get to second loop on pcb version with only 100+ mil after stage 5 boss. probably because i grab all the bees in all stages, and dying alot on stage 4 so the rank is quite low in stage 5.

...

I'm done playing this game for some time. I'm going to play some Gunbird 2 and Under Defeat, instead.

Guess how many times I randomly suicided on 1-4.

It starts with t, ends in wice.

For.

No.

Reason.


EDIT: Though I say that, I'm probably going to have a B-L score in, like, two days.

I'm improving. Now if I just could get that second extend and the cannon-extend.

Edit: IMPROVING!
SAS - 28,266,310 - A-E - 1-4 - 761 Hit

I had one bomb in stock before I died. FFFFFFF.

[Sasupoika]

Improved again.
Got my second extend on stage 3.
I'm awesome.

[TLB]

Nice =D Good improvement!

This reminds me. I still haven't posted my 99.8M B-L score that I got right after the 99.4M A-E score >.>

I hope you keep playing =) (Unlike me, quitting for months at a time...)

[malik11]

I achieved this score a little while ago.

Damn, nice, malik! Going to go for the 2-loop? :)

[malik11]

Damn, nice, malik! Going to go for the 2-loop?

2-ALL? Not anytime soon.
But I've gotten some 2nd round experience lately in Black Label. I guess I can try Master Version again.

[malik11]

Have at you, CRI!

The score table is not the same as my old one because this was done on Xbox 360, rather than PS2.

Stage five went pretty well, for once. I was able to chain from the start of the stage, up until shortly after the item carrier containing a bomb appears, when I got smoked by a fairly wussy attack. This is a bit of a shame because it seems like chaining is not very hard for a little while after that point. Also, I started stage five with only one hyper.

[Jck]

it seems that my team mate PEY did not report his improvement:

AST-PEY - 831,990,100 - A-L - 2-3 - 2981 hits
Played on PS2.

And incidentally we just released the video: LINK
