Most intense superplays you´ve seen

The title says it all.

What´s the most remarkable superplay you´ve seen so far?
I´ve just seen bits from the T3 CYR WIZ Garegga replay again, and boy, even the first boss encounter is jawdropping.

Imachiki Ketsui Full run is another piece of art. This replay makes me dizzy. It also displays the mindbending patterns the boss battles have to offer.

Mushi INH Ultra

I also agree on the Imakichi Ketsui run, gets pretty intense on the loop.

obvious choice = VTF-INO ikaruga normal double play

Yeah, I´ve seen that too. Didn´t know about that rank-reducing enemy touching before. That guy has indeed a god hand.

-doj hibachi no-miss (no programmable stick either)
-doj dvd

he doesn't care about the rank at all, maximum*10..
-ddp special 2-all great dodge at hibachi
-WIZ garegga
-gunbird 2 2-all no miss

how is it possible to no-miss this.. not to mention the no-bomb part, he gets all those 100,000 max bombs bonus..
-ikaruga double play.. there is no way i could do this
-that ketsui doom replay with the long survival at the final pattern. has anybody no missed this?
-psyvariar revision replays are great to watch too, it looks like a firework simulator. gluon is ridiculous, most bullets onscreen that i can think of (except doujins probably)

on my DDP DOJ BL DVD in the omake section the guy no-misses hibachi AND uses two consectuve hypers in the process (hibachi goes down to a 8000chain).. i think thats the most intense shit ive ever seen (not that the entire replay isnt intense but yeah).

i thought the Ibara INH DVD was pretty crazy too.

Mills · Post by **Mills** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 9:19 pm

Dodonpachi for me was the 1st intensive replay id seen, followed by Ketsui replay. would have like to have seen a Gradius3 and Truxton2 (2nd loop) replay. Del did some ridiculous skills on Batrider during his highscore mission..which is why ive always nag at him to get a digi-cam and film his skills.

Raiden Fighters 2 played by GAP.

Because the best route involves suiciding on stage 1 and 3 to get more bombs, the player has to no miss the rest of the game while going for extremely aggressive bullet scratching even on the really fast patterns. The scratching on the large round gun battery right before the final boss is completely insane.

Oddly enough, GAP was also the Arcadia high scorer with Aine in Gunbird 2 (no miss/no bomb play) until beaten later by God Hand's slightly improved score.

Gorecki · Post by **Gorecki** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 11:18 pm

The VTF-INO doubleplay of Ikaruga was what got me into shooters. Absolutely insane skill.

Out of the more traditional superplays, the no miss no bomb wr run of Gunbird 2 takes some beating. Moving so assuredly and nonchalantly through 2nd loop Psikyo patterns is NOT RIGHT.

I was playing ABA Games before I saw those, but after those replays I began hoarding freeware shmups until Ikaruga came to my mailbox. I actually have those replays saved on my hard drive.

Galaxius · Post by **Galaxius** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 11:59 pm

Tvik's Gradius III replays - 3-6 reached, and 1rst loop all with only speed-ups. Insane.

Also the DDP Campaign version all video.

That was supposed to be a no miss run but it's not. And the score is low because he plays for survival purpose. I'd pay (errr no, not really) to watch a >1 bil ULTRA run with some heavy mid-boss dodging

I wonder why we don't have more good Mushi runs around

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 2:32 am

Raiden Fighters JET - NER's JS Slave superplay.

Mainly because I can tell what's going on and what the player is doing while it keeps the illusion of being insane.

One lame thing about that video is the stupid Psikyo boss milking.

I cheer a bit whenever he misses a coin or gem.

NTSC-J · Post by **NTSC-J** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 4:35 am

The boss milking just adds to how ridiculous it all is. Even at the 2-7 boss he still has no miss/no bomb'd, yet continues to milk for points! I'd be a shivering mess twitching at the bomb button if I got that far after doing so well.

One time on yahoo auction I saw a Mushi double play All clear DVD

. And I would like to see this run

This Doom battle in ketsui is the most impressive thing I've seen:

Player confidence is always a big part of success in these games. Most of the Japanese replays show the player moving confidently through patterns, almost like they know they won't die if they squeeze through those tiny gaps.

Best replay I've seen is Clover-YMN's Dangun Feveron 14mil no-miss ALL. To play a game of that speed, with a ship type that moves like lightning, knowing exactly how to handle every section, and to have no bombs to back yourself up in case of emergency takes some skill.

I'd expect LAOS's 29mil Batrider Advanced ALL to replace that as the most intense replay if it is ever found/released.

Well, it stands to reason that they don't die if they squeeze through the gaps: the problem for the rest of us is frequently not squeezing through said gaps.

As for intense replays...I honestly don't watch very many, so I couldn't really say, though some of the ones mentioned already sound pretty frightening...my already-shriveled heart (or whatever's there where the heart should be) would probably burst into flames if I watched them.

Wouldn't that tack on a lot of boring boss milking? I saw a MAME Garegga inp and it had at least one huge dull section.

That depends. The bosses don't stick around for very long, and milking all of them certainly wouldn't add up to 29mil. So where is all the points coming from?

No way rob you would see insaneness in it! man when you're milking boredom hell goes loose and rank is maximum

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 6:38 am

I don't know. I just don't know. It's a cool game and all, but the Gunbird 2 and Cave videos.

BTW, there needs to be more superplays on youtube. I guess people don't feel comfortable downgrading the quality of someone else's video (or what?), but it needs to be done.

300 mb = 3-6 albums. I know what I choose.

Kaiser · Post by **Kaiser** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 7:12 am

Yeah it's cool game but hard as hell and hell goes loose when you're playing for maximum score! (Rank works like garrega: If you collect many power-ups, bombs, small parts of bomb, plus you're going for medals then hell goes loose!) I know that because i've played batrider for long time before i 1cc'ed that game on normal ^_^

VTF-INO isn't just good at Ikaruga however.

He's GODLY at Radiant Silvergun, especially if he just uses the Silversword.

On a related note, what's the most impressive display of shooter skill that you've witnessed in person?

Before going overseas, I had only see a handful of my personal friends ever play a shooter due to a lack of them in the arcades. Now after some months spent in Tokyo I've seen all sorts of incredible feats. What makes them more interesting than watching videos is being able to see the players. I find I often just watch how they hold the sticks, react to deaths, follow patterns, etc.

The best I've had the pleasure to see in person:

-Two days ago I saw a guy wearing clothes that reminded me of the Crow crossed with Ziggy Stardust cleared all of DOJ Black Label with 2 spare fighters in stock. During certain difficult areas he would wiggle the stick so hard it looked like he was fighting for his own life.

-One fellow cleared Batrider Advanced with an E,xxx,xxx score and was even more animated than Ziggy on DOJ. Dying unintentionally would cause him to hammer the control panel in anger and tough spots got him seizuring like mad. I guess if you can't be as cool and confident as other pros, fighting with every ounce in you is the key to victory.

-Next to Ziggy DOJ was this guy who I see on Ketsui all the time. He almost always beats both rounds (this day he had beaten DOOM twice in a row) and he's the most calm player I've ever seen. I have seen no ounce of emotion come from him, ever. Even when he no miss/no bombs up to Nightmare only to make an error that costs him the special round, he just stands up and walks away.

-I watched a guy get to the Guwangesama with a 52k+ chain and 59 million pts only to see him lose a bar and a half to the last pattern. Mere pixels from victory, he stops shooting and just dodges the pattern for as long as he can.
