I played a few credits now and I'm creeping up on my first mil (700k so far stg 3). I'm sort of with cagar regarding damage, so if you do tweak it I wouldn't do anything drastic. At the moment the risk/reward is quite finely balanced during boss fights on A+C, since I want them to go down faster but I know I'm going to be cranking up the rank and will have to endure a few seconds of dangerous blitzing to get by.trap15 wrote:I said rebalance, which doesn't necessarily mean nerf; it means make it more balanced for the current state

Well I just spent an hour with it and I honestly can't see any need for increased difficulty. Unless I'm completely missing a trick, it's tough as nails when playing for score (much tougher than regular Ketsui) since essentially you spend 95% of the time at max rank. Tactical bombing and laser combinations on bosses are a strategy in itself, just to figure out how to spend as little time as possible going up against their attacks.trap15 wrote:Upcoming 1.5 (previously 1.1) will feature increased difficulty and various other rebalances. Thanks Jaimers for making these issues much more apparent

That's more like it!trap15 wrote:3rd unused dip; 8th actual dip (7, if you do 0 indexing). Hence my stupid tease in the other thread

You bet you are! While Doom may be easier in this version, he still packs a solid punch.
You got a bit lucky on how Doom deployed his last pattern but seriously that was hardcore.
Ok, I must be missing a trick here then. I'll not play it again until I can get it on a ROM and play it in the cab, rather than this awkward saturn pad setup, and see if it's easier then.sven666 wrote: alot easier than the original

Most of the absurdly difficult barrages are avoidable if you control rank a bit, you can bomb without anything but a slight score penalty, your movement speed is fast enough to trivialize some annoying patterns, and your shot is fucking OP. That said I am having quite a bit of fun with it.Skykid wrote:Ok, I must be missing a trick here then.

"Back label" is pretty much what resulted the first week or so that Ketsui was emulated. Not meant to be a serious mode, just a funny glitch that people decided to play through for kicksEno wrote:Tried this without ever putting a hand at vanilla Ketsui before(unless that first time I booted the rom with the .bak file in the zip file counts). Pretty awesome, just love manual rank and the new color palette makes the original look bad whenever I play the original or back label, oh and being able to screw up and sometimes survive due to that flipping bit issue on the bullets too.
And then, regarding back label mode, was it supposed not to play like arrange? First thing I thought when I saw the back option formation was that it would be quite useful in this mode, but then it plays just like normal Ketsui with a few glitches.
The scoring mechanics still give me trouble, but on with not getting raped at stage 3 anymore before anything else.
I just noticed on the vid that he seems to be using laser without increasing the rank - mine's always at max even during bosses. How do you do that?RNGmaster wrote:Most of the absurdly difficult barrages are avoidable if you control rank a bit, you can bomb without anything but a slight score penalty, your movement speed is fast enough to trivialize some annoying patterns, and your shot is fucking OP.

Ah sorry, I thought you had shot going at the same time in that vid, I forgot shot locks on with laser too - doh!trap15 wrote:Let go of C while you hold A
