Strikers 1945 2 - impossible to 1cc without using Hayate?

Post by infested_ysy »

Recently I've been reading up and downloading 1cc replays of Strikers 1945 2, and I noticed that everyone used Hayate or the Flying Pancake to 1cc that game ,which was awesome, by the way. I always underestimated those two, because I happened to dislike slow units that spread their shots and have the inability to rapid fire unless firing on point blank. That and the fact that I was always under the assumption that Hayate can only deploy its charged shot once per screen.

So I was wondering, is 1cc'ing Strikers 1945-II possible when using other units? Also, anyone here know where should I get replays of people 1cc'ing the game using other units?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I will say that those two are the only planes I ever play with. Perhaps they are just generally preferred.

Of course it's possible. Hard, but possible.

The other planes are mainly there for variety. Once you 1CC the game with a fast powerfull aircraft(Pancake) , you can always return to pilot a different plane.

I can do pretty well with the "Lightning" in 1945...I want to say the P-17(double fuselage). I think thats what its called.
Actually, in part I, I do do pretty much equal with all the planes.
Strikers II, however, is a different story, as the game is much tougher than the first one.

But yea, I believe that with some super skills, one could master the games using all of the aircraft. Me? I'd be happy with just one though! :)

its very frustrating playing with the shinden...the game becomes quite unfair.

alto i kinda stopped playing it for now, the psx version is a bit too crappy for my tastes, ill wait til i get my modded xbox.

It might be easy to complete the first loop with Hayate. :o But in the 2nd loop, when resedule fire is release from distroyed enemy. Those uncontrolable small planes of the Hayate would start to create problem. :?

I am thinking that playing with Hayate in the 2nd loop is harder than the others. :roll: Any one here can comfirm my view?

Yes, Its possible to clear both rounds will all the ships, even the shinden.

Here's a small clip i found a few years ago of someone on 2-7 with the shinden, with a VERY unfortuante death! :)

I'd be really annoyed if I had managed to avoid all that bullet spam, only to run into that fast, tiny suicide bullet :!:

The story of my life. Marion in GB2, the Hayate in S19452, and the Pancake in S1945 Plus. The price of using a character with auto sub-shots.
