My Little Pony can't possibly be this hard.

This is just too hilarious. :V

Reminds me that I should start making Danmaku Fortress after finishing off several FF2 bosses and TGTA Vmod 1.7.... XD

[Sapz]

Some fun with the Mushi port:

Mushi 1.0 Original NMNB, 64.2m, with the 1.5 OST.
Mushi 1.5 Original non-MAX NMNB, 77.5m, with the Arrange OST.

Both with bonus green flicker at no extra charge!

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Mushi 1.5 Original non-MAX NMNB, 77.5m, with the Arrange OST.

Wait, 1.5 is available now? o_____O

[Sapz]

Yes indeed, the JP version just came out a couple of days ago. Unfortunately region locked like most of the recent Cave stuff, but I'd imagine RSG will localize it for US/EU in the future. It includes the original, 1.5 and an Arrange mode, which is a modified version of the PS2 Arrange.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I might not play shmups anymore, but Mushihimesama has a special place in my heart. I might get it if it gets a localized release :O

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Jaimers, could you upload that DonPachi 2-All to Youtube for those of us that have the issue of the game not working on shmupMAME 2.2

why does this exist

[saucykobold]

Aww, forgot about the Varth Week deadline. :derp:

I got this on Saturday and I'm going to post it here *just because*

saucykobold - 3,192,000 - 15 - Smart

[KLH]

Practicing 2-5 in DOJ BL lately, getting very close to a no-miss; this just gets more fun the more I play it. Chaining is also getting easier in all stages (but I should probably still look at HFD's runs for reference instead of just improvising).
After making a few savestates, I've decided to attempt to perfect all the second-loop bosses in White Label. Got the 2-1 and 2-2 bosses so far.

As for myself, I was messing around with DOJBL, trying to improve on 2-3. Somehow pulled this off.

And now a no-miss of Hibachi at max rank is in order. You know you can do it.

Can't wait to graze bullets as Scout

wananananana... you can't hit what ain't there

why does this exist

because ponies (or should I say bronies)

[shadowbringer]

congratulations, Saucy!

I hope you liked the game   (and dat train stage too)

[SAS]

Hey lookie

[Sapz]

As a result of all the confusion, Varth is up until next Monday. Touhou's still starting this week, though. :V

[Zil]

Time for more stupid questions. Are there any big differences between the ships in Ketsui that I should know about? Other than the obvious "one spreads out more."

Also, what triggers the extend from the battleship in stage 3, and are there any other secret extends elsewhere?

And while I'm at it, just what are the loop requirements?

 :V

[LHCling]

I find it hard to believe that you also miss the speed difference between them!!!!1!!11
anyway aside from that, the lock-on speed on the Tiger Schwert (spread shot) is faster

blowing up the various parts of the BATTORUSHIPPU first, then dealing with the central uh, structure? vocab me good. I think it's a no bomb requirement as well, but idk
other sekrit ekkusutendo would be in stage 5, with the enemy copters before ~*~the descent~*~. basically destroy them with something that isn't the bomb (not necessarily without bombing [!!!])

tsuujou omote -> misses + bombs ≤ 6
ura -> no miss + no bomb + 120m+ in score

also

Make us some box-like things!

[Zil]

I did notice the speed difference. I figured it went without saying. :O

And thanks. I had no idea about the other extend.

[Azinth]

Tiger's faster lock-on speed usually means that it kills larger enemies a bit faster, which makes it superior for high-level scoring (we're talking REALLY high-level though).  Its wide shot is also nice for survival in certain parts (ex. stage 4 opening).  Panzer is better for surviving in the loop since its narrow shot is better for controlling suicide bullets and allows it to kill enemies from a safe distance without point-blank locking.

[Zil]

Ha, managed a Ketsui 1-ALL. No-miss no-bomb until the fourth boss, then everything was a trainwreck. I think I can attribute the mistakes on that boss to getting nervous, but everything in stage 5 was a disaster. Thanks Azinth and Baity for the advice!

Now to clean up my act in stage 5 and see if I can reach the next loop.

[Erppo]

I got a world record!

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

DonPachi 1-All getting to 2-2.

I didn't record a .inp, so no vid will be coming, but at least I got the 1-all. I may try to record an input some other time though once I work out some strats for the levels.

[chirpy13]

Cabs are so fun!  I want a tated CRT of my own now!

[チソウ タイゼン]

I got a world record!

(image)

What game is that?

[chirpy13]

Mushi (1.5 I assume, not sure which version(s) have novice).

[DX7.EP]

* EP plays DFK iOS (via iPhone 4S) on Novice with C-S, collects 42 bees and gets another 1-all

*gets offer to go to second loop, Tsuujou in this case due to bees and difficulty selection*
Me: HELL YEAH! :getdown: :flowerpower: :dragonforce: *accepts*

End result: 3 credits taken (one on 2-5 after the first set of spinny laser cannons, the second about 0.2 seconds before beating Longhena :derp:) and 4.2 billion max.
[attach=1]

Bloody impressive considering it's just been 6 months since I first played DFK and was barely managing 3ccs of the first loop on Normal. :V

Now where's my Ketsui or DFK BL port Cave :3

[Zil]

DOJBL 2-5. No-miss, 1-bomb. Not counting the boss of course. Didn't really know what I was doing, but winging it somehow worked.

I think I'm going to 2-ALL this game. I hope so, at least.

And now a no-miss of Hibachi at max rank is in order. You know you can do it.

I'll be practicing it. I just might luck out. I think I'll be recording everything I do from now on. :V

[Naut]

I think I'm going to 2-ALL [DOJBL]. I hope so, at least.

Go for it!

[DX7.EP]

Mushi Futari Black Label arriving soon on iOS.
Me: o/...but wasn't 1.5 released in April? And is this DLC or standalone? ...though Boss Rush mode seems nice. Also any weapon enhancement DLC as we've seen in DeathSmiles and DOJ can sod off.

Also speaking of 1.5 I recorded a bit of Larsa Ultra Novice mode on my iPhone...and found a facepalm-worthy attack at 2:40. :V

[Shimatora]

Finally 1cc'd Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu today with 2 lives and 3 bombs spare, no second loop entry though. This was mostly down to me forgetting where bees were, I'm sure I'll get that 2-ALL some day.

[Zil]

Go for it!

:yukkuri:
Fuck yeah, I'm doin' it! *no-miss to 1-5, game over before the boss*

It'll take some time I guess, and I need to do something about this keyboard. It's bad enough having controls betray me at random, but making me overwrite states instead of loading them is crossing the line.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Mushi Futari Black Label arriving soon on iOS.

I will never understand why CAVE stuff keeps coming out on iProducts and not something like Steam. @_@
