[erzane]

dodonpachi bee storm ?
that I know is 6 stages but I dont know if existing loop

[lgb]

6+1 stages. I do believe you can reach the 7th with a no-miss.

No loops.

[erzane]

ok
so the 7th is a nomiss special one

Anyway, there's very little information about BB anywhere, since MAME can't run it playable yet

Actually , ì v got BB running at 60 fps constant on MAME OSX ( a not so young port of MAME designed for mac intel ) "whistling"

[erzane]

I notified some psikyo games :
are they correct ?

samurai ace = 7 stages & 2 loop
tengai = 7 stages & 2 loop
dragon blaze = 7 stages & 2 loop
gunbird 1 & 2 = 7 stages & 2 loop
sol divide = 6 stages & 2 loop
space bomber = 24 small stages
strikers all serie = 8 stages & 2 loop

thanks

I know this is a strangest kind of question I've ever answered...

[Ruldra]

lol @ this thread

6 stages, infinite loops.

I did some testing and it looks like the rank maxes on the second loop; it doesn't get harder on third loop and onwards. So if someone is able to master the 2nd loop, then he can counterstop the game (should take about 7 loops).

[Enhasa]

How can anyone not tell Mortificator was joking? You would think "The broom Cotton rides on" and "it's important I have this information on-hand in case of an emergency" would be dead giveaways.

[Gespenst]

Okay then, for another question (I'm serious): Can anybody translate all the ships' (and the manufacturers') name in Change Air Blade?

[erzane]

be serious guys please

- XII stag = how many stages/loop ?
- 1p or 2p (simultaneous ?)

I don't know Japanese, but I found a forum that has the kanji in selectable characters. Pasting them into Google translate, I get "Lightning us Takeshi" as the name for the Japanese ship on the top row and "Décor bell" as the name of the one on the bottom.

Psyvariar Revision = 1p or 2p ?

A friend and I have been racing to see who can figure out and get to the second loop of Progear, but so far we have only been finding vague answers. Can any one tell me how to achieve the second loop of Progear?

You can lose only one life and use only two bombs to enter the second loop.

[Ruldra]

IIRC: lives lost + bombs used <=7
