What are the conditions for fighting the TLB of Deathsmiles?

Drake · « **Reply #121 on:** February 04, 2013, 05:53:05 PM »

All stages on 999. Beat the first 6 without continuing, then beat both EX stages and the final stage (i.e. chapter 4) without dying, up until ~~Tyrannosatan~~ Jitterbug.

Aero Chimera = best shmup of 2012

K.B. · « **Reply #123 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:43:49 AM »

That game is glorious. It has just about everything I like and just about nothing that I dislike in shmups.

Coincidentally, I was thinking about it last month and checked the farm for (the lack of) a status update. I hope SAS finishes it. With a "demo" that good...

Fuck yeah!

KLH · « **Reply #125 on:** February 19, 2013, 04:57:12 AM »

I'm improving.

now if only I could stay focused during Stage 3 so I can consistently get to Stage 4

Alternatively, I could just play conservatively in the first three stages and easily break 5000000 in Stage 4, because I've scored 3269250 in Stage 4 alone.

Can't agree more.

AC is crazy fun. My only complaints are that some sprites bug out if you retry a stage enough times, and the bullet speed on some patterns in Stage 4 Death is a bit too fast.
SAS needs to go ahead and release the full game already.

Ketsui Ura 2-ALL with 390 Million :dragonforce:

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #128 on:** March 13, 2013, 11:54:40 PM »

I figured I really need to get back to these. So I played some Muchi Muchi Pork version 1.01 earlier.

Wasn't playing on Score Attack though.

I get a run where I was doing really well up to the stage 4 boss. All the deaths were suicides to refresh bomb stock before extends. Sucky chain breaks near the end of stage 4.

Then I die to the thing 4 times.

But I actually got to stage 5 in a full run, for the first or second time ever. Did mostly well there, had a few chain breaks, and I'm at the boss with 3 spare lives. Game over on the second part of the 4 because I suddenly decide, oh I can dodge this stuff, and don't bomb quick enough. Around 98 million, so without the medal chain breaks, I might have had an extra life to actually turn things around.

I may as well try to get the 1cc soon. That was very good for a rusty run. Then none of the other runs today got past stage 3.

Edit: Got the 1cc.

Wow, that's cool stuff man. So ehh... what's next? Futari Ultra? :V

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #132 on:** March 19, 2013, 01:38:42 PM »

He could do a Mushi 1 Ultra, Futari Ultra, Pink Sweets, or even DOJ White label if he wanted, and I wouldn't even be surprised.

Definitely looking forward to what else you plan to do.

Silent Harmony · « **Reply #133 on:** March 24, 2013, 07:26:37 AM »

That close to a no-death 5-guard BWR stage 5 (practice), and that close to perfecting the final attack.

Ah well, I was bound to join the "sliver of life" club sooner or later. At least it didn't cost me a 1cc or something, so I got a good laugh out of it.

Have some Sora Special match mode S ranks.

Drake · « **Reply #136 on:** May 04, 2013, 07:31:40 AM »

So I popped open Espgaluda II for the first time since I got it.
In mode select the default is Black Label so i'm like YEAH THIS IS PROBABLY THE MODE I WANT

no it's fucking awful, i sat through the whole game with the dumb canceling everything and the dumb pushback mechanic

And then after I was done with that I went to the obvious 360 mode. Kakusei Overheat everything.

INSTANTLY A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER, GRINNING EAR TO EAR AS I PLAY

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #137 on:** May 04, 2013, 05:41:07 PM »

Black Label is pretty interesting for scoring, but it's probably the most complex Cave system and you have to use every mode well. the 1cc is easy though.

Good luck with Overheat. that game kicked my ass quite a bit even trying normally with Arcade/360 mode.

We really need SotW back. Or even just interest in this thread in general.

I agree and I should post here more.

My last project has been Mushi Ultra, where I got to the TLB couple of times and knew how to beat it, but stopped feeling like playing it. Instead I felt like something easier for a change and started learning DFKBL with Bomb style. It's rather fun and pretty easy to learn all the basic strats. Harder than B-P though in almost every way. No real goal yet, but I know I can get at least 750b. Currently at 699. Beating Hibachi would be neat but I don't know if I want to try. Doing it without any fancy scoring strats would be pretty possible but too boring.

Hinacle · « **Reply #139 on:** May 09, 2013, 02:40:40 AM »

I've been wondering this for awhile; how is it that people import in PCBs? I see people with PCBs set up in their house, so how do they do it? I'd like to get my hands on SDOJ (or maybe DFK [BL if possible]) since it doesn't seem like the 360 port is going to be released in the states any time soon or maybe never.

The SDOJ port will be region free, if that changes anything.

Wait, really? I'll just import that instead. Waaaay less effort and trouble to get it. Thanks~

Well now! I'd immediately import if I had a X360 :V

Weren't there efforts to publish it on the west at the same time as the JP release, anyways?

There were efforts, but for whatever reasons each group didn't go through. It seems like most people from RSG were interested but it got vetoed, Aksys said DS didn't sell well enough for them, etc. I think they wanted to try to release in the west since localizing their games would be super cheap on their end, but every attempt fell through so they just spent a day or two flipping switches.

Per the op in the farm thread, Cave has abolished all such sections and have consolidated development in one department, and this department is still likely to make shmups. Further, the page linked in that tweet is an outside analysis of the company.

Silly day one 1cc of DoDonPachi Saidaioujou.

The game is really awesome everyone go get it!

Oh and I did a Sora Hard 1cc a bit back.

Erppo · « **Reply #148 on:** June 21, 2013, 02:11:48 PM »

Time to resurrect this once again. Inbachi clear happened.

Quite an awesome fight. As far as I know this has never been done in arcades.
