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

[Aisha]

Dogyuun's final stage is awesome.

Giant robot boxing. In a shmup. And we all thought Treasure was innovative. :V

[LtC]

Cleared BWR's stage 5 Hell in training mode (inc TLB). Now I'd just need to pull this off on a real run ;/

LtC,  what music did you have playing during Stage 5? It sounds so familiar.

[Aisha]

Ah, Thunderforce IV. That's where I know it from.

Nice run, too. Most of that TLB's attacks are beyond me.

[Krimmydoodle]

Tried out DOJ as a result of Sapz' prodding.  You really don't realize how fuckdamn frightening DOJ Hibachi is until you boot up 2-5 Simulation and try it yourself (actually, I guess this goes for the rest of the game as well; I can't fathom 1ccing even the first loop at all).

Have you tried Double DEATH LABEL Hibachi yet?

doesn't a hyper take out half of his HP without any effort though? he has huge shotgun space at the beginning

[Matsuri]

Not that I'm aware of.

Good luck getting that far without Shotia, anyway :V

[lmagus]

All this DOJ talk here makes me want 5pb to release the damn patch already so I can play the game!

Although I have very little hope they will actually release it.

At least I bought it on ebay for very little money, so if anything, it will get more expensive over time =P

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I'm guessing to change the BWR music, I just name other music with te same file name and overwrite it, but which stages and bosses does each music in the directory normally cover?

[Bananamatic]

Do it by ear :V

Did Gigafacer in practice, best I've managed was 6 bombs 1 death.

First attack first phase - trivial
Second attack second phase - 2 bombs

Second attack - trivial until he uses 2 waves at once, bomb

Third attack - first wave dodge, second wave bomb
don't screw up on the hands, repeat 3 times

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

What the fuck?

50,000,000 extend during the transition from stage 1 to stage 2.

Use 3 bombs on second boss cause I suck. Derp and bombspam third boss.

Stage 3 Faintear is a hell of a lot harder than I remembered. I lost the rest of my lives to her and didn't even break 80,000,000. I'll probably never get 50,000,000 on Stage 1 anytime again. Okay, maybe again, but not anytime soon.

I really need to practice Stage 2 boss, figure out how to score on Stage 2, practice stage 3 bosses, practice stage 4 bosses. I just wish I didn't have to replay the level just to practice them.

DOJ Hibachi has the angriest feeling danmaku of anything I've ever played. The 1cc is damn tough, too, though it becomes a lot easier after you know what's coming.

I think you can kind of do this; but then, this relies on both having a hyper at the time (you really don't get them that often) and knowing the fight well enough to know where to shotgun from and how long it's safe to shotgun for and stuff like that. Also, their next two attacks are much worse. :V Bear in mind, I've never reached them, so I'm taking this from videos and the like.

Not that I'm aware of.

Psssh, A-Exy all the way~ Managed to get to the beginning of the Stage 5 boss in Death Label with her once. :P

Spoiler:

Shotia's bomb HEALS THE BOSSES JESUS CHRIST Exy's kind of does too but that doesn't start until the Stage 4 boss or so ;_; Terrifying stuff.

Ehh, I'm hoping they might get around to it now that they're done with Ketsui... which still hasn't arrived yet. :< I'm beginning to wonder if something happened to it.

Anywho, after much practice, DOJ Stage 5 2-miss. So many places to slip up... and that beehive section is pretty horrifying. It's like the hardest parts of DDP stage 4 and 6 at the same time. :V

[Matsuri]

No they don't, only Leinyan and Exy's do, as far as I recall. That's why getting to double Hibachi with Shotia is much easier than the other two.

And I've made it to stage 5 with Exy before as well. Crazy stuff.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Got the second and third attacks of the second boss in THE figured out. Both are pretty much read and dodges.

The first one though is still an auto bomb for me at the moment. Also saw the 4th and final pattern for this boss for the first time earlier, and at the moment, it's pretty much autobomb, though I'm sure there's some way to do it.

Not much luck in figuring out the stage 3 boss attacks. Stage 4 midboss, postmidboss, and boss will be  a pain in the ass to figure out. You do get more than enough items for the stage 4 boss patterns for the part before it though assuming you don't die, but the boss is pretty tough, also has bomb immunity.

[Sapz]

Hmmm. I must investigate this. :V

EDIT: ...Dual Hibachi reached. :V Yeah that was pretty much a cakewalk until the part where bomb invincibility kicks in, at which point I died horribly due to the useless laser speed. Guess I must have mixed it up with Leinyan who seems to be healing bosses from Stage 1.

[Krimmydoodle]

Oh wow, getting there was indeed a cakewalk after reading that post and realizing that Leinyan is absolute fail (I think I just randomly decided to use Leinyan during my first attempt at Death Label, saw the whole bomb healing thing, and thought "oh, if bombs are so useless, no point in using Shotia").

That said, I only saw half a wave of Hibachi^2.

[Matsuri]

Yeah, if you're using Leinyan in DEATH LABEL you're either insanely good, or just plain insane. :V

[Bananamatic]

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.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I can't find the THE scorerun I found on Youtube a while back. And most of the vids on there are either on nondefaults, are on easy modo where you can shoot most of the bullets to get rid of them, or both. Wanted to at least watch the bosses. The guy got the 100,000,000 extend on stage 1 also which is pretty ridiculous.

Almost nothing on there either. Sucks when you're trying to do a run of a shmup that isn't as popular and can't find good run vids to study.

Edit: Chose to start at stage 2 for practice on the stage. 1DNB Stage 2.

Derped the boss's first attack and somehow cleared the final without bombing. Not really sure of the strategy for its final attack yet though.

Edit again: Perfect stage 2, still not sure about the final.

Another: 2DNB Stage 4, ND2B Final stage. I think I should grind stage 2 boss, stage 3, and stage 4 then a no miss could possibly happen while fighting all boss patterns.


You know, when I got this game a long time ago, I thought it was nearly impossible even with the anchoring mechanic. Going back to it even over a year later and with all that Touhou experience as well as RFA and a few other shmups and its pretty easy for the most part. Now if only I could figure out some of these attacks.

[Jaimers]

Why does Blue Wish Resurrection Plus run down to a crawl when I try to play it while the original runs perfectly?
I don't understand this at all.  :/

Anyway, 1cc'd original mode on the original version.
This game is really fun~

the "wait" option causes slowdown with many bullets

turn it off

[Jaimers]

I have it off.

[lmagus]

eeeeh? I always use laser type...

am i wrong in doing so? o.o and why would that be?

should i use shot type or the third one which i can never remember?

[KOA]

you know what game I would -really- like to see a WAIT OFF option for?

Mushihimesama Futari.

[Bananamatic]

man, gigafacer

almost got a no miss run, died just before he did...and then died again before I poked it and he died.

Uploading it anyways, every single bomb/miss can be blamed on the turbo fan wave so I guess it's within human limits.

EDIT: actually, the death was against the hands.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Man, I'm sort of getting much better on DDP. Making 300+ chains with ease? Man.
Man.

why would you ever want thatt @__@

[KOA]

For the lulz (to see how insane all 3 modes can be)
EDIT: holy shit Bananamatic that Gigafacer vid was nuts.
