It seemed like it was going to be Dangun Feveron a while back.

Actually, my classes are over now. Start suggesting stuff and we'll vote on what to play next week tomorrow.

Giga Wing
Gradius Gaiden (or really almost anything Konami, I just like this one most, but I haven't tried all of their shmups)


Scarlet Meister Normal and Lunatic *laughs and says  :dealwithit:* (okay just kidding on this one, but I would so enjoy the bitching)

Phantasm Romance sounds like another good option.

No Cave stuff please.

Damnit guys, my exams haven't even started yet. :< Not going to place a vote this time since I probably won't be able to play it seriously, if at all though to be honest it's less exams and more that Ketsui will be arriving.
Let's fight.

Dangun Feveron+1

I just realized after posting that I don't really feel like learning a new shmup this week very much. :3

I need confirmation that Deathsmiles will be playable on a J360.

And uh.. this is going to make me feel like shit every day, but I'll vote for Dangun Feveron. Maybe I'll get desensitized to it, or something.

Sure DeathSmiles is playable on a J360. You just have to get the Japanese version :P

Actually the US version may be region-free, I really have no idea and don't care because I don't have to worry about it :V

Aksys confirmed that it will be playable on US and "Asian" 360s. The latter is too ambiguous for me -- I don't know whether they mean Asian model 360s or every 360 in the Asia region, which would include J360s -- Play-Asia lumps Japanese, Korean, and Asian systems into one NTSC-J category. So I guess I'll have to wait and see.

well, just like with Agarest War, which is compatible with J-360, I'm going to wait until after it's released, ask people around if it works in a J-360 and only then place my order =P

...Well, uh.

I was just playing some DOJ in practice mode. I no-missed Stage 4 for the first time, and then my PS2 stopped working. I'm not sure what to make of this. :V

Hibachi sabotaged your PS2 so you can never encounter it in a real run.

After much fiddling with the PS2's innards, I have successfully brought it back from the dead. \o/

Oh, that makes sense, because me reaching DOJ Hibachi sounds incredibly realistic :V

please count me in for Dangun Feveron ( I promised I would help on this game
Spoiler:
because I want people to play Varth and Phantasm Romance 2.5 Plus later :V
, and I feel like killing stuff fast while trying to keep my chain -- with bombs, if needed. I hope that the memorization needed for this game will be at the same level as in Thunder Dragon 2, which isn't much :p )



Why is ESP Ra.De. so goddamn hard...seriously, the second extend is way too hard to get, the bombs do almost nothing to the bosses and stages 5 and 6 are another game compared to 1-4.

there's one extend at 4 million points, the second extend at the stage 4 ( the last wagon of the second train -- which comes downwards quickly -- has an extend, which is destroyed if you use a bomb on it, so you may bomb to clear enemies/bullets when you're at the second train before the extend appears ), and then the third extend at 8 million points. You must practice 16x multipliers, and realize that..

- during a multiplier session, collecting point items extend the multiplier timer ( you can see the timer if you hold B and then press Start at the title screen, after having inserted a coin )
- when you have reached the current maximum point item capacity, destroying enemies with the primary shot during a multiplier session will make enemies drop point items as well ( for example, there's some yellow enemy ships on Yusuke's stage -- Houoh High School -- which are made of 3 parts, you can shoot them to keep your chain )
- stage 4 has lots of 16x-able enemies after the armed wagons, also you'll want to practice the 4th boss in order to at least know/recognize the most dangerous patterns.. bombing them will buy you some time to damage the boss and get over them
- the tank at the beginning of stage 5 is better dealt (iirc) if you try to stay aligned with it, doing the proper dodge moves (micrododging is safe there, I think), rather than trying to take out the enemies at the right side first
- if you ever get to 5-2 ( inside the mansion ), holding bomb as 2P slows down the chain timer (carried from the 5-1 boss), while killing enemies with bomb increases it ( and there's lots of Alice clones on it. Please watch warmly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6PnytsEpTk ). It seems that holding down bomb as 1P slows down the timer more, and killing enemies with bomb stops the timer temporarily


Also, I need a easy shmup to 1cc.

perhaps Armed Police Batrider on Training Course (I'd recommend you to use some codes in order to enable secret characters and to allow single-character mode, *and* reading the SPECIAL BOSS APPEARANCES section in order to *avoid* fighting hidden bosses and Envy -- the Shot/Option Special Level Ups mentioned there, are acquired by missing 3 of these items and then picking one of them)
neku: now for something important.
Translations.
How much time do you guys think it will take for HM to be translated? Besides everyone's story modes and the whole menus, there's also the fact that the way HM's programmed is different from all other games. I bet it'll take two months.

lusvik: I don't mind about playing HM in japanese. The language of punching other people is international.

I tried looking up Progear's scoring just for the hell of it.  It has a MAX BOMB BONUS lulz

also Khoa finally deserved to win a scoreboard
He's only allowed to do that if we play Batsugun or Mars Matrickz

Well yeah, you need to no-death the entire game to get to Spiritual Larsa. :P

No-bombing St5 Larsa is still pretty freaking cool, though.

« Reply #178 on: May 09, 2010, 11:37:29 PM »
I wonder if anyone with the PCB has tried looking at the ROM data to try to find out what Zatsuza is. I imagine it would be pretty difficult to do, though..

Or maybe Cave is actually trolling us this time.

I guess that the PCB costs way too much so only operators have it for now?
