STG Thread Stage 4 ~ Like the Night of Hunting Bees

[LtC]

Got back to working on BWR Hell 1cc last night. I made my own record progress wise as I managed to almost make it to the TLB, with 2-3 pixels left on the 5th boss' health bar (Still was 1?M less score than my best run since I got hit a lot at stage2&3). Been practising stage 5 quite a bit and I can now do it quite well with minimal miss count (Although some patterns like the boss' first phase's final bullshitstorm feel rather impossible to dodge consistently... until the TLB's goddamn second phase with the pattern where bullet waves are bouncing from every direction. Can anyone actually do that pattern without getting hit once every few seconds?

I don't know if it's because I'm a bit out of practise or if I'm trying to read the pattern the wrong way or is it just because I suck but this pattern is really making me feel I can't ever 1cc this thing.

Stage 3 is my major choking point on any difficulty. Is it weird that I don't really find stages 4 and 5 to be very hard at all?

It is the hardest one in my opinion as well

I only said i game over on st 4 because I lost all my bombs/lives in st 3.

I don't even reach st 4 boss =P

just some questions before going to work..

1) I got a friend of mine to play Phantasm Romance 2.5 Plus, and he really liked the stage 2 boss bgm ( Yuka's ). He then asked me if I knew who made it, and what was it's title, since it seemed to him that this bgm wasn't made specifically for this game, because this bgm in particular had an ending. Any information on that bgm? Thank you in advance!

2) When does the shmup's forum STGT usually start? ( I knew that STGT'09 started later than usual..)

3) for people with bad memorization such as myself, does the usual "kill stuff as fast as possible" still allow me to score decently in Feveron? (can this game be compared with Thunder Dragon 2 in that sense?)

Killing stuff as fast as possible is how you perform 'high-level' scoring in DF, since destroying enemy formations causes new, previously unseen formations to appear, which yields more Disco Men.  Though for people like you and me who probably can't even 1cc consistently yet, it's better to just focus on surviving and chain the Disco Men.  Do NOT lose your chain on stage 4 and 5.

Also, you constantly say that you're really bad at memorization, but your score in X-Multiply week seems to suggest otherwise. :V
