Re: I DID IT
I think 22M in Ikaruga is quite decent. I did a close to 18M easy clear few months ago (with 0 extra lives bonus) and I thought I did reasonably well in all the stages. Although after I did that run, I improved my stage-2 score by 1M with a little more practice. But, all in all, I think a really good run (with lots of extra lives left) with my current route would give a ~22M score roughly (roughly 1M for stage-2 and 3M from extra lives).For example, the first shooter I ever 1cced was Ikaruga with like 22M points. Not terribly impressive, but I've never felt that kind of elation for accomplishing something in a video game.
Whereas getting 120M+ and the 4th stage of 2nd loop DDP doesn't do much for me anymore, but is probably a far greater accomplishment than 22M in Ikaruga haha!
Improving beyond that requires more attention to smaller details I think. So as a first score, its quite good.
Re: I DID IT

I know most people on here clear Futari 1.5 Original without breaking sweat, and I know the score is shit but this is really a massive achievement for me, I've never been good at bullet hell stuff (and most of Cave's output).
Fired up the game for the first time in ages yesterday, then fired it up again this morning and did it on my first credit!
The big difference was making it to the final boss with a respectable amount of lives in stock (4). Grabbing the item based extend on stage 5 without killing myself in the process was vital too, as I almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory right at the end.
I stupidly lost one of my lives on the final boss with 2 bombs in stock and I had to survive the last 30 seconds or so on my last life with no bombs left, against the dreaded tail attack of the final form of the boss. If I'd have fucked it right at the end I wouldn't have been a happy chappy!
Anyway, very pleased with this.

Anyone can do Advanced if they're playing for a clear instead of score and using the US version

What's different between regions?trap15 wrote:... and using the US version
Re: I DID IT
US version automatically extends, like Garegga. JP version drops extend items, like Batrider.

Re: I DID IT
You should go for the original game clear when you are done with that. If you can clear Kuro you can do the original with a little bit of practice if you follow 3 simple rules I posted at the end of the strat thread. Otherwise the rank will eat you up.

Re: I DID IT
It doesn't matter what game - 1CCing a Konami Gradius (or Parodius!) title is an accomplishment worthy of praise.

Re: I DID IT
Got the "Original 1cc with Palm" achievement in MushiFutari. I feel like it took way more effort than it should have, since I can do the same thing with Reco easily. DIFFERENCE OF CHARACTERS I GUESS, HOW ABOUT THAT SHIT
Re: I DID IT
Finally got to the 2nd loop in DDP, with 407 hits on stage 5. Promptly ended the credit at the beginning of 2-1 though

Time to learn how the scoring works.
Also, congrats on the Ketsui clear! You're now officially man-tastic (that means no more loli's and shit. Change your avatar to Rambo.)

Better draw a line on the conversation there, I think.

Re: I DID IT
A 1-all of Ketsui boils down mostly to memorizing stage 5, I think. Once you know your way around that stage it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: I DID IT
Clearly he mistook Gunbird 2 for a loli shmup. The advertising is misleading, I know - a lot of people still don't recognize it for being one of the manliest shmups in existence.Skykid wrote:Same reason everyone posts here.

Re: I DID IT
Well given that I'm still bored, let's enjoy some delicious shmups forum posting.
Ketsui 1-ALL is not very hard when you are coming into Cave out of Touhou playing even at my non-existent skill level... I played a certain Touhou game for over a hundred hours before being confident enough for the 1cc. And even then I barely made it through. Ketsui? Meh, practice Stage 4 and 5 for a little while and throw in 2-3 credits and win. Even getting a no-bombs 1-ALL of Ketsui only took one attempt after getting Stage 5 memorized.
A really shitty run of course but it was no-bombs at least until I reached the loop. But it's not really like you can make a fair comparison here. Ketsui is a looping game and getting through both loops is obviously going to be harder because you only have half the resources, twice the length of the game and the necessity of beating half of the game without dying or bombing or you'll be booted into Omote instead of Ura.
Still though, getting a Ketsui 1-ALL is still an impressive feat. So nice job to Kai for pulling it off. Especially if it's something you have worked on for a long while. And Ketsui hitboxes messes some people up too so there's that as well.
Haha. I'm just gonna shut up now... I've got something considerably harder to do than Ketsui 1-ALL waiting :3
tl:dr: @Skykid UFO. Others probably exist but there's only one game that needs to be mentioned.
