I managed to get to stage 4 boss on Ketsui on my third go after getting the PCB. Fluke! Took me ages to get back there after that, but usually on a good run I can do it. Best on a credit are:

Ketsui - beginning of stage 5

DDP DOJ Black Label - Nearly made it to the last boss (not the TLB.)

I can die happy when I have the DOJ 1cc.
Always outnumbered, never outgunned - No zuo no die

At the moment for me its Stage 3/4 on Ketsui. The stage 3 boss bullet patterns are bizarre.

Up to stage 4 on both games for me, although it's been a while since I played DOJ so I wouldn't be surprised if I was struggling to get that far on it at this point. What I find bizzare is that despite Ketsui X-Mode seeming easier, I can't get beyond stage 4 in that mode either. My biggest problem with playing the games is easily a lack of consistencey, usually making silly mistakes along the way, meaning that I never have enough lives left for the harder sections ahead.

That's what happens to me.

Futari 1.5 is a possible feat. It's a little tough, if you don't have "mad skillz", but it's doable(I did it, therefore it's doable).

You could try Futari BL, but I think it's too easy.

That "last boss bit" is beyond me at this point. It pisses me off greatly.

Futari BL Original is easier than ESPGALUDA when played for survival. I 1CC it most runs, but ESPGALUDA not so much. Also, scoring well in ESPGALUDA helps with survival.

I have 1CC:d both DOJ BL Extra and Ketsui X modes, but only 1CC of Ketsui Arcade mode, and I had to use lots of bombs from stage 4 onward. I wanna get the loop though. I'll try for the DOJ BL 1CC when the patch comes. :lol:

End of the 4th level in DOJ, never played Ketsui. Ibara is by far the hardest cave game, for me.
