Got the 1ALL after a few weeks of regular playing... score is a little disappointing to me, mainly comes from chaining stage 1. Messed up 2 (the only other stage I vaguely know how to chain), and probably would have looped it if not for nervously falling apart at the beehive. I still play stages 4 and 5 mainly by instinct, with attempts at 4-500 hit chains here and there...

After working on chaining for the last few days, I have a newfound respect for high scorers in this game. I've been trying to imitate HFD's playthrough, but he's so efficient with aura shooting and maximizing hit counts for bees that even a slight deviation == no hypers at right time == can't follow his patterns. I also suck at most of his boss hyper tactics... I've only gotten 4 hypers from the st4 boss once, and am baffled at how he gets 5. Perhaps I should start watching some other videos

best effort after a month of survival training, can chain bits but not the bits together.

2 miss 1-5, 2 miss 2-3, 1 miss 2-4, 2 miss 2-5. Only got to final boss, no TLB for me. But this is a scoreboard, not a survival progress board, so here's a new score.

[Chaos Phoenixma]

What kind of resources are you going to need to have a shot at Hibachi?

Or is it like me where you would have no chance even with max resources going in? Not like I'd ever actually make it that far. And I haven't even seriously played this since that run where i got to 2-1.

But one of you guys that can get to Hibachi should try to 2-all it. Or Jaimers if he ever bothers.

[Naut]

Jaimers has gotten to hibachi. Two lives going in would be nice.

[Gus]

Is Prom still playing?

[PROMETHEUS]

I haven't been playing since last score but I have some time to dedicate to DOJ again now and I do intend to increase my score and 2-ALL.

Is rank still in effect for Hibachi ?

Good job Naut for reaching Hibachi.

I'v never reached Hibachi myself but from various videos (especially the iso hibachi no miss) you can see that rank effect hibachi angryness a lot...^^

I see. That explains to me why that Clear list in order of difficulty put DOJ BL 2-ALL not so high, and DOJ White label 2-ALL as most difficult of all Cave : White Label's rank doesn't reach such high peaks as Black Label, but it also doesn't decrease nearly as much after deaths or bombs, and gets to its own max really fast. So in Black Label you can sneak in a low rank 2-ALL, making the achievement that much lower in the list, whereas the minimum difficulty in White Label is much higher.

DOJ BL's 2-ALL is in fact listed as being easier than a DDP 2-ALL, so I expect that 2-ALL will come naturally after studying 2nd loop !

(Although there's one thing that seems really weird to me in that list : the position of Futari God mode + TLB clear. I have played this game on the 360 and I don't understand how it is placed higher than DDP 2-ALL, as far as I understand it's not a very hard game to clear at all, with so much slowdown on the TLB that it is very feasible to 1 life that TLB without bombs. How can it possibly be harder than DFK ura 2-ALL or Mushi Ultra ALL too ?? Perhaps it is because fighting the TLB implies no miss of the entire game, which isn't a requirement for all the other games, making their minimum 2-ALL difficulty lower...)

[moozooh]

To be honest, that comes off as no surprise.

• DOJ's B-S completely destroys stages if you disregard scoring; it has better firepower and movement speed compared to DDP's C-S.
• There is steady supply of hypers that can get you out of a pinch and skip hardest boss phases for free.
• Hitboxes are even smaller than in DDP.
• There are more bullet-canceling enemies (especially in stage 3, where they are really helpful).
• There are only five stages, and they're shorter (less tiresome) overall.

Exactly; the TLB is easy, but the requirement is hellish. The same with Bloody Jitterbug in DeathSmiles MBL.

[Gus]

No way is Futari God TLB harder than those 2-ALLs. I haven't made a serious effort towards it but I have a guy on my friends list who has done it while he can't even reach Larsa in Ultra. I know maxmultiplier has done it as well.

Is rank still in effect for Hibachi ?

There is a PDF describing the specific rank mechanics at work in DOJBL, and according to that, rank applies to Hibachi and the minimum rank cap is raised by a lot, and even some more on the final.

Check here for the details
