STG THREAD 5 WAS PREPARED WITH MUCH TROUBLE. YOU DO WHAT.

[Bananamatic]

Also, I need a easy shmup to 1cc.

Touhou :smug:

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Triggerheart Exelica is pretty easy, and the only reason I haven't gotten the Normal 1cc is because I keep making retarded mistakes or the parts that are random decide to be more of dicks than usual.

Of course it does not work on Mame, so it's only an option if you have a Dreamcast, Xbox 360, or Japanese Playstation 2. I'm playing the 360 version.

[Matsuri]

I suck at THE because I try too hard to play for score. Spinning enemies around and turning bullets into points is a ton of fun, though!

Birthday is lol

[Zengar Zombolt]

Birthday is Ha ha, old chap!

Birthday with Autobombing.
You know you wanna.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Holy Shit, first Cave 1cc.

Entered Larsa 1/3. Was a bit of a bombspam, ended 0/0. Black Label Original. Reco was the character I used.

[Bananamatic]

how hard is mushi/futari?

[Matsuri]

how hard is mushi/futari?

Depends which difficulty you're asking about.

[Bananamatic]

Depends which difficulty you're asking about.

The 2 human friendly ones

[Matsuri]

Original - Doable with some effort, but I don't care too much about it
Maniac - A kick in the teeth, but also doable. Intense when playing for score
ULTRA - You must be a masochist or something

Black Label Original - Like Original, but more fun. Not as hard due to your stronger shots, but the rank skyrockets a lot faster than Original
Black Label Maniac - See previous statement
Black Label God Mode - Like ULTRA, but a hell of a lot more fun and a hell of a lot more doable

Arrange Modes: Not hard at all

[Bananamatic]

And how easy is the first Mushi? How does it compare to other shmups?

[Vanishing Sock Puppet]

Playing Karous: If you're not invincible for 3/4 of the game, you're doing it wrong.

[Matsuri]

And how easy is the first Mushi? How does it compare to other shmups?

Original almost feels like a Toaplan game. Fast and not very dense
Maniac mode is pretty rough, but the real difficulty comes with scoring
ULTRA mode is haha, right good luck there's a reason why you don't see people 1ccing it left and right

[Formless God]

The first Mushi blows UFO out of the water. Even on Arrange.
Actually that had something to do with the analog stick.

[Bananamatic]

Doesn't Arrange have Aki though?

[Matsuri]

Oh, right.

Mushi Arrange - Plays similar to Maniac mode, with roughly the same level of difficulty. However, you can change your shot type at will and you start off with 6 options, instead of collecting up to 4. Also has Aki as the TLB with a watered-down final attack.

[Bananamatic]

watered-down final attack.

That's like saying that DFK BL Power Hibachi is a watered down version of Strong Hibachi

[lmagus]

Mushi Arrange was my first Cave 1cc and I can say it's pretty easy.

[Bananamatic]

How high ranked is Progear's first loop?(US version)

It didn't seem that hard, st5 is acceptably tough compared to ESP Ra.De. and the final boss isn't too hard either once you figure out how to deal with his attacks.

[lmagus]

Ketsui: 19,352,550 1-3

Almost 1st extend, almost mid-boss extend. I died in the beginning of his last part, didn't bom the rest (didnt have any bombs left)

I'm pretty close to getting 2 extends, which will take me to at least stage 4 =)

I also died with bombs in stock twice.

The only part that gives me trouble until 3rd stage mid-boss is one pattern from 2nd stage boss, the rest of the fight is fine. I only need one bomb to beat him =D

I can perfect 2nd stage mid-boss as well already most of the time.

Man, I never thought I'd be able to do all these things so fast =)

[Azinth]

I beat my Gunbird 2 score by a ridiculously tiny amount, and was about 2 seconds away from making it to 2-2 before I clipped the boss's attack.

I'm about 10,000 points away from beating Rob's high score. :V

[Sapz]

I tried ESPGaluda again today.

>No deaths until the Stage 4 boss.
>Ended my first credit a little before the Stage 5 midboss.
>Used another whole credit getting to the boss.
>Used almost three whole credits beating the boss (nine lifebar sections, the last of which has kakusei invincibility and bomb healing).

Jesus Christ talk about difficulty spikes that dude is harder than the whole rest of the game put together @_@

[Matsuri]

ESPGaluda's final boss is so much fun. I like playing against it at max rank in Kakusei overheat mode.

[Zengar Zombolt]

1LC'd Battle Bakraid's Training course.
YES IT IS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ME ;_;

[Bananamatic]

identified 12 Cave patterns in YGS2000 :V

[Azinth]

So anywayz, I finished 1ccing my finals today.  Any thought as to when the next scoreboard will be?  I guess at this point the earliest would probably be like the week after next..
