Got my first 1cc in Captain Commando, which is also my first clear of a legit arcade beat 'em up.
I absolutely love the wacky settings and charakters, especially Baby Head.
It felt extremely difficult at first but once I found some good routes and learned some of the cheese strats it wasn't too difficult.

Miwa, any day that I see you 1CC'd I get to witness another one of your glorious thumbnails, and that day is immediately a good day.
10/10 thumbnail.
Also, great job on the clear.

1CC’d Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission and all hostages rescued!
Re: The Non-Shmup 1CC Thread - Share Your Triumphs Here!
Some low-hanging fruit to close out/start the year...
Elevator Action Returns: Saturn version, default settings, Edie. I was warned about the ending and it still got me. Great game that I'd like to have another run at with the other characters.
VS. Super Mario Bros: More differences from the original than I was expecting. It has a little more bite without veering into SMB2j/kaizo territory. Might be my go-to version going forward, if I ever get the urge to play SMB1 again.
Fight'n Rage: Hard, Norris. Two more difficulty levels above that to go, but hey, still counts. I can't stay away from this game for too long but I'm still sort of bad...
Dragon's Lair: Easy (the default, I think) in Daphne.
Tanuki Justice: Hard. Worth the hype you guys have been giving it. Insane is probably going to remain out of reach for a while (ouch).

Consider me impressed. I can't make a dent in that game with Baby. I FF'd to the Shtrom fights.miwa wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 10:21 am Got my first 1cc in Captain Commando, which is also my first clear of a legit arcade beat 'em up.

I finally accomplished an Elevator Action Returns no death run with Edie on very hard with 10 bombs set.

It was a survival run, so don’t expect an impressive score.

Yeah, the whole Shtrom clan is pretty annoying. Their behavior is pretty counterintuitive and it took me quite some practice to get used to it.velo wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 7:44 pm

Congrats on the Fight'n Rage clear! I'm currently working on the insane 1cc with Norris. It's quite the jump from hardest to insane, with parries becoming a lot more essential. I wonder how big the difference between insane and unfair is, besides starting with zero lives.
Thank you, 'Roo! Always happy to hear you enjoy them. I'll try to create more this yearBareKnuckleRoo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 2:17 pm Miwa, any day that I see you 1CC'd I get to witness another one of your glorious thumbnails, and that day is immediately a good day.

Ouch, I can't imagine. I switched to Gal and got the Normal 1cc as a formality. It didn't feel like a "triumph" as per the thread title, but that's out of the way.miwa wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:06 pm Congrats on the Fight'n Rage clear!

Oh, and normal 1cc of Air Twister. I think every difficulty in AT might be the same apart from starting hp.

Finally scored my first 1CC run of Air Twister!

Another Elevator Action Returns 1CC on Very Hard difficulty with 10 bombs setting. This time with Kart. It’s sloppy and RNG smiles on me in the last stage, but it’s done.

Got my first Metal Slug X 1cc yesterday
Hadn't played this game in a long time and was surprised just how amazing it still is.

Glad you enjoyed! Killer game, that... if you'd told me it was a lost PC Engine title from back in the day, I'd absolutely believe it. Expert design economy in the compact character and shredding firepower.
Wonderboy Bobi is the real deal. Totally different genre and demographic, but his Aggelos is superb too, in oldschool sidescrolling ARPG mode. Been meaning to get back to it, just so much good stuff lately.
Hell of a run. Of all the nailbiting things there, my favourite is possibly that ice-cold turnaround BATSECUTION @ 18m15s. Two shots, two PWNED bats.miwa wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:22 pm https://youtu.be/evC8N-iqHEI?si=YFEpuiCXHTUmf1vh

Love that you got the rare Abdul Abbas kill in stage 1! I can never get that to happen deliberately, always a grim laugh when the poor bastard gets taken out by his own tank, ardently waving his white flag. Nice no-hit Harrier Slug st3 boss, too; I always get the poor thing banged up. And taking out that oncoming st4 biker in all his wheelying glory with a deft grenade!
Nazca's games are always such a joy to watch played well; there's so much detail you can't process at the controls. That's true of any intense action game, but just the myriad ways shrapnel and debris go flying across the screen is bravura. And the perfect ripple your character's gunshots send cascading over their clothes and skin in WHOA BIIG mode, and the visibly juddering handlebars on enemy motorcycles, and a million other things.
Picked up several new safespots and techniques; I was genuinely surprised to see those rolling cannonballs go harmlessly under the Slugnoid, in late st5. I knew it worked with MS4's walker slug, but never considered it here. And it looks like running against the subway trains actually pushes them back? I always have to stockpile a ton of grenades for those, while crouch-firing, and I've seen others say it's just impossible without them. Might free up lots of grenades for speedkills elsewhere.

Here’s a sloppy Contra: Hard Corps 1CC with Sheena (Alien Queen Route).
Some deaths and an accidental bomb drop I think this is my second in the game. I just decided to sit down and really learn it. I will work on some other routes and maybe a deathless.

Theater of Magic pinball (Bally 1995), finished a Grand Finale run. I had to reference an online faq to figure out all the conditions to qualify for it, probably would've never figured it out otherwise. The Grand Finale itself is kinda lame though, just shoot regular shots with a single repeating reward on the dmd. Compared to the endings I got in Tales of the Arabian Nights and Junk Yard, this one seems very mundane, which was unexpected considering how cool the rest of the game mechanics are.
