As I explained earlier, I with some friends created "1-sissy" last year for our French site Shmup'em All. They're videos explaining how to clear easily a game (far away from the superplay videos we're used to !).
All of these vids are commented in French, but here's the first 1-sissy in (rather poor !) English.

You'll find the vidéo here. (English version down the page)
You'll find all our others 1-sissy on that page, but apart Mushi Futari, they're still all in French...

Just tell me : is that useful ? Is my English understandable ? What needs to be changed ?

Enjoyed the English Futari video, your English is definitely good enough to understand. You covered most of the essential stuff, though sometimes it seemed to come at odd moments: for instance, for much of Stage 3 you use Reco's "lock-on" attack to keep damaging the large beetle enemies while staying off to the side and away from most of their attacks, but you don't mention the lock-on in the commentary until some time later. Nothing too unforgivable though: hopefully you'll do a few more, it's nice to watch a not-impossible shmup video from time to time.

Nice video. Did you play with a stick or a pad?

1. Thank you !
2. Well probably a stick (HRAP), but I also sometimes play with a pad (A Hori one as well, not a Big M official one)

Good stuff, Boss! (you really nailed it with that '1-sissy' name)

keep 'em coming!

(I'd gladly be of some help if you feel like it, like like translating, 2nd reading/viewing even dubbing but I'm a bit worried about not knowing the games as well as you do etc)

Great video, it's really good to see runs like this, I think this will be really useful for some people. I know I wish I'd had something like this when I was going after my first 1CC.

these are great, just managed my first ever 1-cc on futari BL after watching this . Thanks for posting these!

(now to do it for reals )

You should cover DDP and ESP Galuda in English! It seems like a starting point for many attempting to 1CC their first bullet hell titles. DDP was my first and I could have certainly benefited from some commentary and video of play that is only attempting survival.

DOJ would be nice as well **cough cough** I'm still a noob **cough cough**

Next week : Karous (sissiest 1-sissy in the whole world !)
In september : EspGaluda II BL
In early october : DDP DFK 1.5 (two vids showing how to clear easily Strong & Bomb modes), for the European release of the game WHICH WILL BE PLAYABLE ON NTSC/US 360 AS WELL AS PAL 360 !!!! (but not on NTSC/J, quite a shame...)

As I was asked some days ago, I repeat here that my "1-sissy" are always played on NORMAL (default !) difficulty, never on easy.
Still I'm sory for my spoken English, but you know how things are : you got to work hard on your English and the Online Edition of Third Strike is released... (If you have advice to give me about my English, feel free to PM me !)

For DDP and EspGaluda, I'll try and find the time. But I try to show games one can play on the actual generation of machines. And by the way, I have no proper way to record my PS2 runs (50Hz is OK, but 60 isn't, can't figure out why, but well I'm not such a sissy as to play in 50 Hz !!! ).
For DOJ, find me a room where time goes a hundred times slowlier, and why not ! (which means : no ! Definitely not a game for that kind of vid' !)

Bah, you can get WAY wimpier than that.

Looking forward to your coming videos!

I'm not sure : really this Karous 1-sissy will be more like a joke as the game seems to clear by itself !

For DOJ, find me a room where time goes a hundred times slowlier, and why not ! (which means : no ! Definitely not a game for that kind of vid' !)

LOL. You're probably right.

Really looking forward to that Espgaluda 2 BL one. The game looks amazing but I have no fucking clue how to play it. Are you gonna explain the scoring or is it gonna be all survival like this?

Both.

To keep you waiting : 1-sissy Karous.

Thanks for the 1-sissy Mushi Futari BL in English. I could understood you just fine. You explained things in a clear and simple way, which is what I need! It's encouraging to see that a 1CC is possible without having to be at the top of the screen, knowing where each enemy will come from. Sissyplay is the way to go for me

I look forward to watching more 1-sissys, and there's no need to apologize about your English, which is far superior to my French



<moved post from the Karous thread to this one. -inc>

After 4 days of practice, I finally get my first Cave 1CC
207502966 (Reco) No spare lives, 3 bombs remaining.

Of course there's room for improvement, but what a confidence booster!
Thanks for inspiring me to try harder, Hydeux.

Well done !
And thank you !

Thank you , this is excellent, useful, and you have great english!!~!!
