Just played this for the first time, and man you do make it look easy. Im getting better with using my options, but i have a long way to go to just beat the game, let alone 1cc. Your run is helpful with learning some of the tips and tricks so thanks for the video!
Awesome run, and I enjoyed your commentary! I've been on a bit of a Mega Drive/Genesis binge as of late, and have been looking for some great shooting games for the system. I hadn't heard of this one before, and it looks exactly like the kind of style of shmup I like--and it's not so expensive! I'll pick this one up soon!
Glad you enjoyed it! Whip Rush is a great Genesis shooter and good fun. I would like to focus on lesser known shooters when I can. But I will have some more well known ones in there as well :)
Dude I just had to say, this is awesome! I hope you do some more. This game absolutely tormented me as a kid. It blows my mind that not only did you destroy it, you didn't even lose a life! Oh and your commentary was fantastic too man. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! Yes, this game tormented me as a child as well and I was never able to beat it (or even get close). This game inspired the whole idea for this series simply because it was so difficult. I'm still shocked myself that I was able to pull it off lol. But yeah man, I am working on episode 3 as we speak. The problem is that these videos take a really long time to create because #1, it takes at least a month of practice before I can pull it off and #2, I don't know if you've seen episode 2 but I really upped the production value and tried to do a full fledged video instead of just a run and a little bs-ing at the beginning. Anyway, you can expect episode 3 by February at the latest, and I really appreciate you watching. Thanks!
Good god, man, you're a freakin' masochist! I'm thinking of covering this one for my next shooters video, so I've been practicing, and I'm struggling with stage four. Goddamn, this game is brutal! I have gotten further than I had ever gotten before, but I don't know if I'm gonna be able to beat it. After a lot of frustration I decided to watch your video for pointers. I can't believe you put so much dedication into this game! I can only imagine all of the frustration that it has caused. And I can't say that you make it look easy, cuz it still doesn't look easy. I'm gonna keep practicing, but good lord, Whip Rush is TOUGH!!
Thanks for watching man! Yeah, I chose Whip Rush first simply because I remembered not being able to get past stage 3 when I was a kid. That level can suck a big fat one. Level 4 though... Man... Yeah it's really one of the hardest levels I've ever played in any game. Worse than anything in Thunder Force 4, that's for sure. Heh, wait till you get to stage 6 and all the acrobatics :P
The farm is watching this amazing run through without dying. "Watching SHMUP Master Episode 1: Whip Rush for Sega Genesis (No Deaths, Original Hardware)"
Good job buddy. Watched the whole thing. It wasn't boring. I loved it. Very challenging game. Great skill at 25:54 Especially the moving one. That's a gamer's thumb right there.
Yeah that boss was actually one of the easier ones once you got the hang of it. Mostly because he did the same thing every time. The boss of stage 4 was MUCH more challenging due to his sheer randomness... And thanks as always Chicken :)
SHMUP Master Show off. LOL. Jk. Still a good job. I wonder if R-Type or Gradius would be on the list. I have Thunderforce 5 and Sol Deace on my list. But Watching you play this is pure legend.
Clocktown Television Well I'm still working on the list but obviously ALL of the Thunderforce games are on there but especially 3, since that is my favorite. I am not too familiar with R-Type but I have played Super R-Type on the SNES quite a bit. So an R-Type game may make it on there in the future. But these runs aren't easy to do. I would imagine I'd only be able to do a video every month or two...
I love this game . Great graphics and sound and fun to play. I tried and tried to beat lv5 boss , never knew you could destroy the arms 😂 , THANK YOU . Overall very easy up to that point .
i never grew up with a Sega and even looking at it now that im older there arent many games i like on the system. Except the Shmups, it had a great library of those, i wanna collect Sega for if nothing more than the Shmups lol great play through btw, a great Shooter
Great video. I just found this game recently and learned to beat it on normal mode anyway. I loved how the game scales the difficulty around you. About boss 4. I noticed he doesn’t fire off pieces totally randomly. When the 4 segment lights compete he fires off in the direction you are at the time. And the come back when the 4 lights go out. So you can bait which piece (although his erratic movement makes it hard. Maybe that’s what you meant and I misunderstood ). I hate the 2nd part of that boss. I could never keep my power ups so I had to do the dance. Thanks for the video gonna watch others as I play some now. Just getting into the genre.
Story: The Voltegians suffered from near-extinction due to the "leader" they created But through your heroic act, you have guaranteed their extinction by blowing up their planet :P YOU ARE THE TRUE HERO OF THE GALAXY!!
Your channel is amazing. I'm replaying the vids from the beginning. Have you considered einhander the square psx shmup? How many people ask you to do ikaruga?
Thanks man! I really appreciate it! And I have been asked about both before. Einhander looks really interesting.. Although I don't currently have a PS1. For the time being I'm sticking to games that I actually have the consoles for. Which at the moment is NES, SNES and Genesis, although I just picked up a Turbo Duo and had it modded for RGB so you can expect to see some TG-16 SHMUPS before long :D
Great video! I've got a stupid question for you. Since you're using a upscaler (that I guess outputs to 16:9) what do you use to get it back to 4:3 (with the black borders on the sides). Thanks!
Thanks so much! And I use Power Director 12. Literally it's two clicks and it puts the video back into 4:3. Not sure if that will help you or not, but it is great editing software.
Thanks, if it is that easy I'll probably find a way to do it in iMovie as well. I just ordered the same upscaler as you have (followed the link that you posted in a forum). Thanks again.
Oh man, this was my very first video back in 2014... I used a SCART cable that hooked into an old upscaler. It was some off brand I got on Amazon. Now days and for my newer vids I use SCART to a Framemeister.
do you still remember who played the role of brady, the gym trainor of the lifeguards? he was on season 1 but hes not in the cast list of imdb neither was his name showed on each episde? its so confusing. i have been googling the hit tv series several times.
"Maybe the Retron 5, depending on how that works out". Well... that didn't exactly turn out as we expected, right? :-) I mean is there any shmup even remotely playable on that thing?? Especially the lag on the SNES emulator is just terrible. Very nice run! You do indeed make it seem easy. Were you outputting to a CRT for this one?
I played this a lot and it plays okay. It always made me feel like it’s R-Types drunken less attractive sister....it was not always a prideful thing to own a Genesis😂
Yeah, that's a fair assessment. But I think Whip Rush can hold it's own pretty well compared to R-Type IMO. Certainly not as good as those games, but pretty solid.
You should do a 1cc on Atomic Robo Kid for Genesis. That game is really tough. Havent made it past level 6 and I've been playing it for about 6 months now

Very fun and underrated shooter! Nice that you covered this one as well.
Parallax Craze Thanks! It was my first video so it was a bit rough 😁
You're the reason I have this game.
Great to know people still watch this old video 😉
got this coming in the mail, cant wait!

to be 1 of the first shmups on mega driver, it looks well on the video color department :)
Yeah it does actually. A lot of early Gens games suffered from a sort of drab look. Whip Rush used color better for sure.
yeah dude :)
What Video Signal are you using to record this footage?
Oh man, this was my very first video back in 2014... I used a SCART cable that hooked into an old upscaler. It was some off brand I got on Amazon. Now days and for my newer vids I use SCART to a Framemeister.
You made the game look super easy!
Thanks man! That was the goal :)
are you the one from the erotic hit series beach heat miami who played the role of brady?
you have any facebook account?
My character's name was Keith.
do you still remember who played the role of brady, the gym trainor of the lifeguards? he was on season 1 but hes not in the cast list of imdb neither was his name showed on each episde? its so confusing. i have been googling the hit tv series several times.

Lol like the rest of the world knows the struggle of mangroves “ Under the mangrove roots”. I’m getting this game
What can I say, the struggle is REAL in South Florida lol
I played this a lot and it plays okay. It always made me feel like it’s R-Types drunken less attractive sister....it was not always a prideful thing to own a Genesis😂

Yeah I always thought that was an interesting looking game!
What would be the hardest SHMUP? Play that one :)
Eliminate Down is supposed to be one of the hardest: www.hardcoregaming101.net/eliminatedown/eliminatedown.htm
What about Silver Surfer?
I heard a cat X)
Hahahaha! Right at the end. Didn't even realize she made it on the track :)
In 18:19 you suffered an impact, is very strange you did not loss the green power up...
Forgiving hit box perhaps?
AAAAAHHHHH, Yeaaaahhhhh!!!!! XD
Hit box or invincibility tricks? XD
