Strikers 1945

Nice cab, nice game, nice score!

Well done d00d.

Cheers,

Ralph.

Some credits later. The loop in this game feels even more cheap than regular Psikyo second loops.

Nice, Plasmo! Should all be updated. Thanks for your patience.

[Plasmo]

Everybody's playing 1999, so I keep messing around a bit with the first 1945.

Scored quite good during the first loop (no missed it too) getting nearly 1mill and had a great second loop (for me). Won't beat this score soon I guess.

Died in 1-3, but nevertheless decided to keep going. Lots of luck dodges during the loop, but I've reached the boss of 2-5 at last, where I died a horribly stupid death. Could've even been 2-6.

Still playing this one.

Just got a NMNB first loop for the first time. That 1-5 turretwall is pure hell. Any tips how to consistently get through it? Mills maybe?

Try crushing your craft into enemy fliers, power down while decreasing the power rank. 1 level down, bullets will be much slower. Otherwise greeting from 1-5 Boss is really tight.

After destroying those turrets, you can recover your firepower by collecting that P item carried by those missiles before the boss.

[Plasmo]

That's quite a good idea! Haven't thought about that before, thanks a lot!

My success rate of getting through the wall without using any bombs is around 20% now. The attack pattern seems to be kinda random.

Minimal improvement, but I want to post something again.

1,07xx,xxx after the first loop. Then died with 5 or 6 bombs in stock in 2-1. Reached the 2-6 boss with two bombs, but couldn't quite make it.

[emphatic]

Nice work, man!

[Battletoad]

Can't wait to see you playing this weekend! Keep it going!

[Plasmo]

Yeah, let's do some real life falsificare with live credits.

Don't expect me to reach 1-5.

[Battletoad]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

What the fuck just happened. This was the run I was hoping for and it came out of nowhere! I hadn't played Strikers 45 for ten days and this was my first credit of the evening.

Highlights:
-NMNB first loop (no power down before stage 1-5 boss)
-No miss up to 2-6 boss (no kidding)
-Reached 2-7 boss

It all fell apart in 2-7, which I haven't really put any practice into yet. Unfortunately I got the wrong boss for 2-7. If I had triggered that damn scorpion, it would've been 2-8 guaranteed.

[emphatic]

Must be a great feeling!

[Battletoad]

Joining in for the fun... or whatever. Not that I really like this game, but the first loop clear is close enough to go on.

Just to let you guys know: I'm still at it and here comes a hefty 3k improvement!

I even had one spare life in stock when I reached the 2-7 boss. Of course I had to die twice without using any of my bombs. Fuck me.



One thing for sure, 2013 will be my year:

1. I will get my first Psikyo 2-ALL!
2. Mills' score will fall!

[Battletoad]

Do it, for great justice!

[professor ganson]

Some nice updates have been made.

[Plasmo]

Reached 2-8 for the first time and promptly got up to the second form of the last boss. The last boss itself however looks like a wall to me. We'll see how long it'll take me.

I can almost feel victory now!

[Plasmo]

1,819,200 - Plasmo - 2-8 (ALL) - Bf-109 - Arcade



-No miss up to 2-5.
-Two deaths at the boss.
-Played very risky through the next stages using close to no bombs at all.
-Lost my last extra life at the second to last form of the last boss and bombed the hell out of the last form.
-Screaming and laughing in victory, I remain undefeated for the first time. The machine has lost against the man.

[Sapz]

Congrats on the clear and the great score. You're the man!

[chum]

Amazing job!

[trap15]

Very, very nice. Strikers 1945 has always been a game I've wanted to 1-loop, if not clear. I'm sure I'm quite a ways off, but it's always motivating to see something like this

[RNGmaster]

メリークリスマス！！！

[Battletoad]

At last, and even before 2013! Congrats Plasmo, you totally deserved this!
I still can't understand how someone can pick the first Strikers for their first Psikyo 2-ALL, but I guess that makes it even better. Outstanding job!

Seems like I owe you the promised case of beer. Just tell me which brand you like and I'll get you something on our next meet.

[AeroCityMayor]

A fantastic result d00d!

Nice to see all the hours you have put into this finally pay off!

Cheers and congratulations,

Ralph.

[Plasmo]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

It's not quite over yet. Next stop: western record.
