This is the WR btw.
Fuck me, need a cold shower after that Glow Squid fight. Been years since I watched a Garegga WR run, forgot how batshit it gets with a master playing it like the violin.

I've been playing a lot lately and aiming for a much better run that I could eventually provide, though. As for the voice talent, I'd like to hear someone who isn't me talk about the game (Randorama?).
Would be awesome with either you or Rando on commentary. Consider enlisting m3dallica too, he makes everything awesome by default.

Yeah. I almost feel a little bad for you guys who haven't seen it in action.

Yowser. No words can describe that Black Heart II and Glow Squid handling.......whoa.

Did the game actually drop some sprites per line at places (bomb blast on the same line as rotating laser cannons on stage 6?)

Great stream. My favorite part was watching Seahawk get out of some of the bad situations he inadvertently ended up in. That's one of my favorite things about Gradius: Even if you get good at the games, something is always going to go wrong (whether it's escalating difficulty on higher loops, or just your standard recovery) at which point the game just forces you to do some crazy stunts and improvisation in order to survive, and if you pull it off it's just mad hype.


Also lol at this

A variety of Gradius related topics indeed.
