@@GLUNCH420 Thanks, yeah I don't recommend following anything in the video but it just goes to show you can get a clear even with poor play and bad strategies!

Yeah I hate those beetles too, some luck is needed to get through those unscathed!

@@Cyarc I ended up finding a pretty consistent way through! If you start on the right beetle, go up towards the beetle then dodge down diagonally towards the other beetle after they take aim, you can mostly macro dodge the right beetle while micro dodging the left one, and clearing the popcorn on the left. Then you repeat this starting on the left side and so on (alternating each time). Somehow it works out where you don't end up needing to micro dodge any of the popcorn shots and you can just focus on dodging one beetle's shots.

@@clasplit Awesome thanks for the tip!

Thanks, yeah she is a bit too fast and cheese build is needed but I think it's a really fun fight!

sounds like you're too far away. depending on armour thickness, bullets will ricochet at different distances and do basically nothing. we also learned from the ice worm fight that the stun needle launcher is great for penetrating coral shielding, and since this machine is powered by coral and uses a shield, it likely has increased effectiveness

Sorry, I only started playing last weekend so I'm no expert or anything but yeah the best advice would be to keep close which is easier said then done because she is so fast and hard to keep track of but other then that just keep spamming stun needle when you have her targeted and with enough luck you should be able to take her down.

@@AkagiRedSun Awesome, didn't know there were regional differences.

Yeah I get it, like I said I've been playing these games since 2006 and only started getting most of my clears until towards the end of 2022. Some advice would be: Find a controller you like, for me it was switching from sanwa to seimitsu. Learn to score just enough to get the 2 extends. Pick a game and stick with it. For a very long time I would just jump from game to game when I hit a wall. The easier cave clears are dodonpachi resurrection, deathsmiles and mushi futari original black label, but maybe just choose your favorite.

I thought you were trolling, but maybe he meant black sheep 💀

Yeah I definitely would of done things differently in retrospect but I rushed the video so I could get back to playing more shmups!

Have you tried 1.5 Maniac MAX? It may be my favorite mode now. I am really close but I bet you could do it if you can 2 miss 1.0 Maniac!

Thanks, I have really improved with the M2 port but this was my first clear and I was really excited to get it!

Bomberman Hero - Milky! Full list below: Parasite Eve II - Mist Ape Escape - Time Station Silent Hill - Eternal Rest Bomberman Hero - Milky 1080 Snowboarding - Review Parasite Eve - Out of Phase Stray - Intruder Resident Evil 4 - Assignment Ada

Yeah if my memory serves me correctly, it was the first game to be released in the west on xbox 360 with a later release on iphone. I believe it was quite profitable as far as Cave games go as well.

Yes you do. That's the whole point of a tier list. F doesn't mean terrible

Yeah I hear that and I'm sure games like Pink Sweets are an "S - Tier" game to other players so I do feel bad putting it low on the list when it is a fantastic game!

Shoot 'em ups!

I need to git gud

@@Cyarc me too bud, me to. I love them but I stink at them. I'm no Aquas though.

I just bought it for the switch and holy shit. The fact that they have a custom restart button, scanlines, so many other quality of life options and a bunch of game modes like "grey" label, just shows how much love went into the port. I really like live wire's shmups ports, but this is another level.

@@aliveman420 M2 ShotTriggers is the goat. My favorite developer.

Nice Ketsui clear!

@@Cyarc thx

I only briefly played 7 and 8 and that was way back in the day. I decided to try those two out again here and just got the clear on normal for both. Really fun though, Touhou has great bosses and bullet patterns and thats really what shmups are all about for me. Also has awesome music! Whats your favorite? Will need to play some more here so thanks for the comment and reminding me to check these games out!

So I ended up playing literally every official Touhou shmup, even the PC-98 games. Some good stuff there, I don’t know how much of it I will revisit though. My favorites were probably 7,8,10,14 and 16. 12.8 and 14.3 for the spin-offs. I am going to check out the Fantastic Danmaku Festival games next.

So you use shot (not focus) to get the blue steel balls that fills the gauge around your ship. Then you shoot the steel balls for the first bullet-cancel and any balls that hit a bullet turn into katanas, which you then use to cancel the 2nd time for all the gold medals. Really fun when you get the hang of it!

Yeah I need to. As you can see I am a little biased towards the Yagawa games because I can’t get the hang of them. Thats totally on me though, I just got to learn them. I know loosing your lives on purpose is mechanic but that always goes against my tendency as player, I guess I just got to give in! I was playing a bit of Muchi Muchi Pork and really need to play that more here too, seems like fun.

Dodonpachi DOJ is coming to switch I can't freaking wait man I'm hoping Dodonpachi Saidaioujou comes to switch and PS4 but i highly doubt it i have Deathsmiles 1 and 2 Mushihimesama Espgaluda 2 Dodonpachi Resurrection Progear and Akai Katana Shin for switch and I'm so glad City Connection decided to release it on the eShop here in the United States and man id love to see Ketsui come to switch but like Saidaioujou i highly doubt it

I really love the original, but after playing Akai Katana last year I put it just ahead of Deathsmiles as the best horizontal, that could be attributed to recency bias. I played alot of Deathsmiles on iphone way back in the day though and should try a rank 3 playthrough on arcade some day.

Yeah really no game on this list deserves less than C tier and shouldn't hate on DSII that much. I know its on Steam, but haven't picked it up since I have the original Deathsmiles on steam. I will one of these days and will definitely play it more!
