Easy shooters that give you an unusually hard time

Dodonpachi.

First four stages are no problem but then stage 5 just starts smothering you with bullets and requires much tighter cutbacks. I've gotten to the stage 6 boss once or twice but never had enough bombs.

Actually right now I find DOJ a bit easier -- Black Label anyway.

Pink Sweets and Muchi Pork seem pretty easy when I'm controlling rank. But the huge hitboxes always spell doom, or I just waltz into a lone stray bullet.

Pink Sweets is in no way easy. Sure, the first 3 stages are easy, maybe even the fourth if you get it down. But after that it's one of Cave's hardest.

The third is the farthest I've gotten on one credit.

Cotton. Any and all. I'm about equally handy at flying a broom.

Nevermind, just 1CC'd it.

And with a life in stock, too. I hadn't played it for a couple years, and maybe going into it fresh is all it took. And using C-S; I stubbornly stuck to the helicopter a lot before.

I'll replace it with Futari 1.5 Original... for some reason, with this and Psikyo games, I seem to have a hard time with fast bullets combined with a slow ship.

I can rock with Raiden Fighters JET but can't get anywhere in Galuda 2 Arcade mode. Or more generally, most Cave games though I do okay, like stage 4 here and there, but in JET I own.

Anything with non-tiny player hitbox

Top 5 that really give me hard time.

5) Darius Plus (PCE)

Yeah, this game seems to kick my a** at Zones S and X, even though I have extends. That Octopus boss is very much overwhelming, so is the Squid, but managed to 1cc this game without a scratch.

4) Raiden Fighters (MAME/PCB)

Incoming sniping attacks from every direction, including the stage 6 giant boss within it's body. Good thing bombs should solve the problem in case you're about to get hit by one (just be sure you save a few for some bonuses). Stage 7 boss' last attack looks nearly unavoidable unless you have bombs with you. 1cc'ed this a week ago.

3) DonPachi (MAME/PCB/PSX/Saturn)

I was just about to work on a 1cc here very soon, but stage 5 really obstructs everything I have done for this game.

2) EspGaluda (MAME/PCB/PS2)

Same goes to DonPachi, except I couldn't get past Jakou's (5-2 Boss) final attack. Even with 5 lives, I couldn't finish it off.

1) Dodonpachi (MAME/PSX/Saturn/PCB)

This is the game where I only had the most hard time here. I am having problems dodging the incoming enemy attacks at stages 5 and 6 (except bosses) because the popcorn enemies that come from both sides fire streamed attacks that are nearly mpossible to dodge for me. Some strategies would be really appreciated if given.

If you're talking about the infamous hallway of pink flak, just use shot when you get into a pinch. It renders extra objects and slows the game down a bit. Sapz has a pretty good demonstration of that.

Will a non-Sapz replay suffice?

He can't fap to it if it's non-Sapz.

erection suppressors highly recommended during watching

Definitely gay. Hitboxes are touching.

Actually, my mancrush on Sapz is pretty much gone now. I only idolize players who can pull off ZAP's Futari tricks, and sorry man but you don't cut it anymore.
