First time I played on a candy cab, it was quite disorienting looking up and seeing the screen angle with bullets distorting as they fell down the screen, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Now I don't even notice it.

For me the tilt isn't so much the problem as it is the fucking huge screen.

Nice job :O

[ratikal]

Here I am sitting with my 124M 1-ALL. ;_;

Congrats, I really gotta attempt looping Ketsui too.

[Sapz]

Great job!

Good job man. You're gonna catch up to my score soon.

[Illyrian]

I've got this whole week free from school, and guess what, I'm going play the shit out of ketsui. Seriously, I'm gonna play it til I clear URA.

"I can't do any better" is a dirty phrase around these parts man.

You've just seen for yourself you can do it. Now you just need to try and score some more points on the first loop!

Enjoy learning empty locking.

I'm joking, no-one enjoys learning that.

It's the sneaky way of cashing in without dumping your multiplier at all in Ketsui.

[Nereid]

Empty locking does not cash in; your multiplier does not apply to enemies destroyed with empty lock. Destroying something with empty lock is the same as destroying it with the regular shot, except it drops more chips as if it were killed with lock-on.

So it's just a way to increase the multiplier more.

[Illyrian]

Ah fine, it's not like I've ever learned it, I just heard it was the way to get high scores.

[RNGmaster]

Empty locking isn't really necessary - you can score at least 150m with Panzer even if you don't empty lock. It's mainly a scoring technique for perfectionists :V

Kill a large enemy with your C shot (rapid fire) and then hold down your A shot (lock on) just as it dies.

The idea is to kill the enemy while your options are moving into position but before you lock on.

You will get as many 5 chips as if the enemy was locked on but it won't decrease your stage counter.

If you look at any Ketsui score replay online, they'll all do this on the first 2 big ships that come in on the first stage.

Say me, did I post something childish or non-acceptable?

Oh my god, I get hit every time at least 7 times even though I know exactly how the game is.

Whoa, are you shitting me? You were serious about clearing Ura this week? If you pull this off, I will shit.

I was under the impression he could get to ura in the first place, because if you cant.... beating ura is a pipe dream. At best.

[Rex Cavalier]

EDIT: Are you fucking serious that the bosses act almost randomly every run? How are you supposed to have any strategies?

Only stage 1 boss has random elements in it AFAIK, you prolly doing something wrong (i may be wrong tho)

[Illyrian]

If he posts later this week that he beat Special Round, he's a troll account. No-one beats Special Round that quickly.

Might be because you fly a helicopter in this game, but I have trouble telling where my hitbox is. I can easily tell where it is and dodge accordingly in Dodonpachi, but I seem to lose track of where the hitbox is for my helicopter (sometimes I lose track of the ship entirely) in Ketsui when dodging bullets. I suppose I just need to get more of a feel for it, but you're not alone when it comes to having a hard time telling where your ship is.

And if someone says that dai ou jou is any harder than ketsui... well, I've played ketsui over 5 times more than DOJBL, and I have no problem at all entering the 2nd loop.
For me, the scoring mechanics suck though.

Stage 2-2 and only 475 max hits?

Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou Black Label has much easier 2nd Loop requirements than the infamous Ketsui perfect first loop for the Ura Loop. Hibachi's eyesore patterns make up for it at the end of the game, though.
