Abnormal Palm's laser is so unbelievably badass. He's got this girly swirly whirly shot and then you push down that A button and HUGE MANLY LASER OBLITERATES EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU.

It is really fucking cool looking when it's maxed out. It makes sense that the best looking shot in the game would also be the most badass.
Feedback will set you free.

I have a question about Black Label.

What's the difference between green aura gems and blue aura gems? I've been getting pretty up close and personal with enemies so I don't think it has anything to do with proximity but I'm not sure.

Also if there's anything else that isn't readily apparent I'd be glad to hear it, but I have the fundamentals down I think.

Question to the people who've the PCB: Can you recommend me some accurate screen settings?

I'm playing on a CRT TV tate'd. At the moment my settings are something like this:

Smoothing: Off
Scanlines: 3x Sharp
Effect Bias: 16
Glare Bias:0

All Gamma, Contrast, Hue etc settings are left at 0.

Sorry if this has been discussed already, I just don't fancy scanning through forty-odd pages :lol:

If you're playing on a non-HD CRT, there's no point enabling scanlines of any sort. Scanline options only emulate the look of a CRT on a non-CRT display (or a CRT with a different number of display lines).

Just kill the large enemy right before the 1-up house and collect the life during the bullet cancel. You just have to wait a couple seconds to kill the enemy, it's really easy...

The section where the large ground enemy comes out is pretty recognizable, once you make note of where it is you'll never miss it. You also get a bomb at the same time so it's pretty important, heh! I don't understand why they changed it from 1.0(1) though. I like how Palm screams something at me in Japanese right before the 1-up in 1.01. I don't know what he's saying, but I'm sure it's something along the lines of "THERES A 1-UP COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN YOU BETTER GET THAT SHIT BRO". :wink:

I always get the 1-up on the second time around, once you kill that orange dinosaur thing. use your rapid shot to trail the dragonflies and you end up right on the building it's in.

Does anybody have the pic that shows the route to get the 1up?

A m I correct in thinking the 1up is right around that area with the uuuuhhhh... I guess it's a purple square on the ground?

It's more of a circle shaped mosaic.

Yeah, I thought it was square shaped with a circle in it. That's a much better description though, I was thinking through a haze when I said it. So do I just kill the big guy whenever that's onscreen and position myself up high or what? It's all still a little hazy to me.

It's literally the building top left of the big orange bug. But defeat the bug first, then just run up there for it and don't bomb.

Ah okay, thanks. I just assumed it came out of the enemy when you killed it or something.

The first form is recognized as a pretty broken pattern that basically requires you to roll the dice. Just recognize that you're going to have to bomb there. Everything else though should be dodgable.

Ah, okay. I was just like "what the hell why is this in the second level?"

I'm glad it's not something I'm SUPPOSED to dodge. For a second there I thought I was total garbage instead of just regular garbage.

I don't recall bombing there... if you take the wrong path you'll get crushed, yes, but you don't have to bomb.

Yeah, you don't have to bomb at all. You can do it with really small movements. Stay at the bottom of the screen, in the middle and tap left or right just before the first cluster of bullets. You barely have to move - repeat this with each cluster (4 I think). The second phase can be tricky but if you're constantly firing (with reco anyhow) it only lasts a few seconds. Just try and stick in the centre.

IIRC you have to download it from XBLA itself, buying it from the game menu didn't work for me.

It's easier to launch the game, press the guide button while the game is running, and tab over one or two to the left.

A third option; open up the game details window (Y instead of A on the main Xbox menu) and go to Downloads. It'll only give you the Mushi stuff.

God, this is a game that i'm never trading in. It's just so...(insert embarrasing orgasm noise here)

But does anyone know if Cave has any plans to re-release the first Mushihime-sama?
