I've gotten to the point where the 4th stage isnt so hard anymore, nor the 4th boss, and the snakes, I've finally found the best way to deal with them.

Now if I can only stop getting so overexcited during the 5th stage.
Good, you need to be really careful in stage 5.... especially in later parts because it can get too hot

Actually I've always done better in the 5th stage then the 4th, as a rule.

Lately, though, I've gotten into the bad habit of getting overly excited when Im having a good run, and then I get into 5, and....... well, I might do something dumb like, dodge an impossible wall of crap with ease..... and then promptly run into the only remaining bullet on the screen.

Really must stop doing that.

Oh, and Im playing the Touhou games now. Whee, fun.

Taken a break from DoDonPachi and others now.....

Mostly just playing Mushihime.

So dang close to beating Arrange mode fully.

I can beat the first boss at the end of stage 5 now, without TOO much trouble. Twice now, I've gotten through this fight with 2 or 3 lives left.

But the True Last Boss........ WHYYYYYYY must it be so dang annoying?

It's earlier patterns are pretty easy to deal with.

But once the music changes, SPLAT, there I go......

And also playing Senko no Ronde alot.

I'm playing... nothing.
And haven't been for quite some time.
Which kinda sucks.
But meh.
Might play Mahou Daisakusen in a bit, but need to jot some notes in my sketchpad for a future project first, which might take up a few hours. -_-;;

only waiting for Twinkle Tale and Undeadline to arrive, but even then I'll have to find an adaptor to play

Trying to get a no-miss in Samidare after getting my ass kicked by Darius Gaiden for the last few hours.

I finally, finally acquired a copy of DoDonPachi Dai-ou-jou.

In about 5 minutes, gonna head downstairs and play that really obsessively for who knows how long.

Whee!!!

Still Mushihime and Dai-ou-jou.

And Giga Wing. So much Giga Wing.

SO VERY CLOSE to taking that game down with one ship (hopefully). Must stop crashing into things stupidly in final fight.

-Bridget- · Post by **-Bridget-** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 8:20 am

PROGEAR.

I just found that and tried it for the first time.

oooooh, another Cave shooter Im gonna obsess over......

And also Guwange.

Wow.

I played that one, twice tonight, and Im STILL not entirely sure what the hell was going on.

Stupid instructions being in Japanese..... that game is confusing.....

We have a Strategy Forum for a reason.

Also, playing Batsugun Special Version. Counterstop attempts incoming. (I hope/wish.)

I figured it was time to get back into Under Defeat. Despite being rusty in some areas I've managed to clean up others techniquewise. I'm hoping I can pull everything back together in about a week or so.

Post by **nZero** » Sat Jun 16, 2007 1:21 am

I need to get back to that too. I never did 1CC the first loop, despite so many close calls.

That may be true, but that dont mean I cant be ignorant of it

Besides, I only played it once so far, and then just went on to playing Progear all night. I'll get to Guwange eventually; I dont currently feel like reading through a buncha stuff for it.

And currently playing DoDonPachi Dai-ou-jou.

And trying to keep from hurling the game disc at the wall :p

Wow, been awhile since I've had one of these games be quite that infuriating.

Mushihime never gets me that annoyed.....

Kiken · Post by **Kiken** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 5:17 am

Given that I was making a bunch of stupid mistakes in Under Defeat, I decided to take a quick break and play something else... so I popped in Yokushin Giga Wing Generations. After spending about 3 hours with it (having not played in eons), I managed to nail my first SCC in the game. Thing was, I had never gotten to level 6 prior to this, and got there on my last life and with no bombs... and still managed to trash the final boss.

Now back to UD.

Battle Bakraid. I'm hoping to make this my first "real" 1cc outside of Shienryu Explosion (lolol). I can consistently reach Cloud (aiming for Normal clear), but can't quite take down Gigamanta yet. Well, he went down once, but it was from the debris of my last ship. =/
