Holy shit. This sounds really, really cool. Seeing as it sounds to be aimed more at STG fans rather than the loli crowd, hopefully it'll be hard as nails.

[shadowbringer]

I'll be waiting for videos :p

But I hope it's not a Progear 2, I have enough problems with timing enemy kills and feeling their resilience :p


edit:
meanwhile, I'm trying to learn how to play Dimahoo, and noticed that while a charged shot is active, your regular shots also make items to appear (which is nice). However, I'll have a lot of trouble trying to keep track of how many sets I have completed or which item is lacking to complete them..
Currently trying to memorize a bit of the first stage, then freestyling on the rest (what rest? I'm restarting as soon as I mess up on opportunities and Busturtle :p), until I can learn from the Miyamoto video again.

[Bananamatic]

protip: try to complete shoes and food at st1(but you'll usually fail), then leave the rest up to lady luck :V

and the st2 boss will kick your ass hard, so don't be afraid to bomb

also, don't forget to add the total items collected on the scoreboard, one more thing we can compete in even though the scoring is all luck :V

useful item guide for first 3 stages: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=25690

[SAS]

Fuck yeah.

[Erppo]

No way I'm going to memorize enemy drops or what I'm carrying. This is a shmup, not some stupid Diablo clone. I'll just use the charged shot whenever there's time and hope for the best. I'll probably also use the Warrior, because his name is Solo-Bang.

[Bananamatic]

there is a lesbian porn site named solobang :V that makes it all better

and yeah, that's what I do, just charge and pick up stuff hoping for the best. Bosses also give a good amount of points, especially the st4 one(900k or so)

[Matsuri]

Gave Dimahoo another honest chance just now

okay it's not horrible there are you happy

still pisses me off, though

[KOA]

I like how the 80mil replay of Dimahoo on nicovideo isn't helping one bit.

[Matsuri]

ok so DeathSmiles is pretty awesome once you figure it out

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

So you actually got it then. Set up the scoreboard(s)

[Matsuri]

I'll get around to it eventually.

Also lol level 999

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Got a score for 1.1 a little while ago I'll be able to submit if it's allowed on the scoreboard of course.

Screwed up the first 6 stages so I didn't bother with the Extra stage, which I can clear with enough resources going in but then reduces my chance of 1ccing to almost 0. Game overed while the final boss had little health left.

Still can't do Extra without 1.1's familiar control. Okay, maybe I could due to having 2 extra bombs per life over 1.1. That's pretty much what kills me in the stage on 1.1. There's like 3 or 4 things that i would like to autobomb but can't. On 1.1, I can NDNB to past the midboss. Sometimes up to the trap room, but I almost always die or bomb due to screw ups before then. Then the part after that kicks my ass too. And the bosses.

I pretty much have the first parts of Extra down though.

New STG

What happened to the Daifukkatsu port ;_____;

greatest shmup

That would be Ketsui

Spoiler:

and UFO

That's what I wonder too. CAVE said their team has the ability to do a straight port in 3 days. I wonder what's the damn holdup.

Woah Progear 2
When I get my hands on it I'm gonna score on it SO HARD
THE NEXT PROGEAR WANNABE WILL FEEL IT
If it's not Progear I will still play it tho

It probably won't be called Progear 2 considering Capcom has the rights to the first title.
Still, the concept of this new STG is really similar so I'd say it's pretty damn close as a spiritual sequel.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

MBL 1.1 attempt. I accidentally panic bombed Jitterbug. Goodbye two lives that could have gotten me past the TLB possibly.

Okay, so it was a somewhat legitimate bomb, but I still shouldn't have used the damn thing. Of course, there's no guarantee that I wouldn't have just died more times, but that still sucked.


Edit: Another run, failed Jitterbug, failed to bomb on Tyrannosatan.

[Erppo]

Dimahoo initial goal reached, got to stage 5. I think that's okay, considering I have played this only like 3 times before this. Score 3.1M, could have been better but I was reluctant to risk charging in stage 4 because I was on my last life pretty much the entire stage.

The bosses in this game are pretty fun but also extremely random. Sometimes they just stay quiet and only use some easy attacks occasionally and sometimes they throw up combos that seem almost impossible to dodge.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Haven't gotten a run past the Volcano stage since my last failed run on Tyrannosatan. That boss might actually be worse than that damn tree.

[Sapz]

After much messing around with cables and TV cards, I've figured out a setup where I can record from the 360. Tested it with the Ketsui run I did a while ago that reached Tsuujou loop. :3 I think it's a little squashed, so I'll use 16:10 next time instead of 16:9... seems good enough for the most part, though.

Part 1, part 2, part 3.

[KOA]

Man, watching that replay made me appreciate the Arrange tracks a lot more now.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

When will the scoreboards be up?

[Matsuri]

When I feel like it. >_>; Eventually.

[KOA]

Perhaps I could offer to take over the SotW scoreboard and do periodic updates or something. :V

[Matsuri]

You could take care the DeathSmiles board(s) if you want. :3

I can handle SotW, I've just been lazy recently. :ohdear:

[KOA]

Well, you can always take back the thread if you're not feeling lazy. But that's your call.
Also, I'd plaster the Deathsmiles board in the same thread as SotW anyway so.... :V

Also, I heard the localization of Deathsmiles removed a lot of slowdown from the Japanese version since a lot of people have reported the US version being significantly "quicker" than the JP one.
