I've been getting dumped on by the WARNING missions in CS mode, I would guess given the nature of the story they are meant to be surprise attacks since they are all long and start you off with zero upgrades. I've played a bit less in the past few days because I've been playing fighting games with friends a bit more and some Shantae.

Asteroid fields stuck inside warp gates are also the worst levels.

Question: In which modes and difficulties do Aki and Akka fight Reco, and under what requirements?

>>128566042
It's a Cave game there's always a surprise final boss

>>128566186
So they always appear in all modes but novice? Or does it depend on certain conditions?

>>128566348
He always appears on Ultra if you didn't continue.

Ok. I have to assume the same applies to Arrange then.

If i beat the Stage 5's boss in Normal or 1.5 mode on original difficulty, will i also have to fight Aki afterwards?

It only appears in the Ultra and Arrange modes, no additional requirements. The Arrange mode has an easier version with slower attacks, and an easier final attack. In Ultra if you shoot at him while his bomb shield is active it shoots this super fast spray that will almost definitely kill you, so don't do it. But that also means you can't use the A button to focus until his shield goes away. Thankfully he doesn't have this in Arrange.
Your bomb is also taken away by bugs before it actually goes off, so it has no prolonged cancelling effect, all it does is cancel whatever bullets are currently on screen, and they come back almost immediately. By the time you're allowed to focus again the screen has already filled back up completely.

He's also way harder on Ultra 1.5 than the original game, his attacks are way faster and it's just silly.

>>128566686
>>128568162
Thank you very much!

Alright, next i'll aim to finish Normal or 1.5 original.

Meh. Not that I have website brand-loyalty or anything, but I don't much care for sites where people can make their own sub-forums.

>>128583213
How could we organize tournaments? Use something like Google Forms for submitting scores and have people attach replay/input files off their run?

>>128586627

From what I remember from participating in a system11 batrider tourney years ago it's basically a local scoreboard with a time limit. You kind of have to trust people on their scores. Asking for a replay or a screenshot is okay as long as it's easy to submit.

Also, if you want to optimize, wait for the first option you get before the stage 1 boss to change to formation before grabbing it, then you can use your laser to hit two of them at once in the first half of the stage. This is only really useful in original mode though.

I got two questions about Darius Gaiden and G-Darius, which I'm playing on the second Taito PS2 arcade collection:

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iVX8pLmULk#t=0m36s how do you get these power-ups to give you a good score? Is it random or what?

Also, while I'm at it - man, the art direction took a pretty big hit between G-Darius and Burst. Graphically it's a clear update, the dated resolution & poly counts in G are obvious... but the color use and environments in G are top-notch.

Gaiden also looks great but 2D ages better like 90% of the time so it's not really a fair comparison.

I absolutely love it. Graphics are a bit simple, but the soundtracks are god-tier, and balance is perfect, and there's a bunch of difficulties make it suitable for anyone. The different modes change up the gameplay as well.

What are everyone's favourite PS1 shmups? Know it wasn't the greatest console for them, but some real classics were ported to it. Thunder Force is still a great gem on it I thing. Plus the usually Einhander.

On Arrange mode the most common strategy is to use strategically timed bombs to get inside the pattern and pointblank him. Then you move down right before the next wave appears and repeat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg6TIZ3nucQ
You can see it demonstrated here, but you can be even more aggressive and bomb just as the spawn point for the first wave has begun descending. Your invincibility frames will buy you enough time for the opening to appear in the middle and you can spend more time pointblanking him.

When you run out of bombs you kind of just have to try to dodge for as long as possible.


Ultra mode is more complicated. Most people use the easy strategy where you use timed suicides to scroll most of the pattern offscreen, but you can also use strategically timed bombs and positioning to manipulate the pattern into being the same thing every time, then you just have to memorize a way through. I've only actually seen this in action with the TGA-RET superplay but I started doing it in practice because I got bored with the first method. It requires very careful movement though because you only have a few pixels to work with during the first part of each wave. It's also easy to start shooting a little too early and trigger the return fire.

>>128668872
What changes for Ultra, besides your shot being a bit less powerful?

>>128669747
The first phase lasts longer and the bullets are faster, the second phase is much harder but you can skip it compeletely because he has no invulnerability after the first phase ends. The final attack is completely ridiculous and is designed so that you can only ever deal damage to Aki while you're dodging it, there's no time when Aki is vulnerable other than the beginning that you aren't completely surrounded by bullets. Or you can just cheese it with suicides.

>>128700430

>>128699761
It's okay as long as you eventually stop credit-feeding it, otherwise you'll never get to appreciate the game's challenge and thus get bored and stop playing it in short notice.

That's the main problem with credit-feeding. It gives people an empty or extremely shallow victory and makes them believe they're done with the game, thus killing 99% of the fun they could have with it.

>>128700520
>not wanting the genre to progress

I'm not really bothered much by others' insults, and I hate League of Legends in part for its tattletale culture. The biggest problems I have with League beyond that is me lacking the motivation to improve (I can accept that I suck but the game is not compelling enough for me to want to improve or continue playing) and the fact that I'm not much of a team player in the first place. I actually had a fair amount of success with DotA2, I just don't think the game is all that fun for a number of other reasons that affect mobas as a whole.

Honest question,

How long does it take you to 1cc a shmup on average?

From the minute you start the game for the first time to the moment you finish your 1cc run, how long does it take?

I'm curious because I've never tried to 1cc a game before.

I am currently trying to 1cc Metal Slug 3. I've done 3 entire playthroughs of the game now with plenty of deaths in between. How long until I can 1cc it?

>>128717534
Depends on how seriously I take it. If I hunker down and focus my efforts on one game, it takes roughly a week or two for "normal" or "hard" 1ccs. Otherwise it takes about a month or two.

>>128717534
That depends on the game. Some games might take days, some weeks, some months and some might even take years. My longest 1cc took me around 2 years of somewhat casual play and I did my fastest 1cc in a single day.

Hack n' slashs, beat'em ups, fighting games, third person shooters and a couple jrpgs.

>How long does it take you to 1cc a shmup on average?
There is no "average" since it heavily depends on how hard and long the game is and the player's prior experience with shmups like it.

Some are a walk in the park while others are a massive pain in the ass, with big middleground since each shmup has its own gimmick or particularity that differenciates it from the rest.

>>128702532
I play Ikaruga exclusively.

How's that 1cc going /shmupg/? Ya getting there?

>>128702532
Well, right now I'm playing Guilty Gear Xrd and trying to practice my Ky combos and punishes so that I don't get steamrolled during my upcoming local meetup.

I'm also trying to git gud at Greatsword on MH4U. Sniping with that weapon is a hard climb, but oh so satisfying when done right.

I just mash with a friend though, I still have fun on 45-55 on average. I play Potemkin.

You know Gabe Newell's gone on record to say he is fine with pirating, right?

Why do you approve of a service whose CEO thinks pirating is not unethical?

oh well. Try doujinstyle.

I'm rotating between mushi, strania and ikaruga. getting close to a 100% in mushi arrange - no idea if I'll be able to 120%, failing very badly at strania and ikaruga with the third stage of both of them actually

oh man a favorite is tough. I think in the hunt is dope for a lot of the same reasons I like metal slug unsurprisingly. futari has probably left the strongest impression on me though

Is there even one shmup with a better cast?

Hellsinker, because it respects my gender.

Is DOJ White Label more popular than Black Label in Japan? Every stream I have seen of it is always WL.

BOOM!

The second loop is harder, maybe it's more prestigious or something.

I'm pretty curious about this as well. You'd have to ask some actual Japanese players about it.

Overall I still prefer WL over BL. It would be cool seeing more people play it seriously.
