[chrisgp415]

Where did you get that Invade your mind song? I've been trying to download it!

[MAXXEXTERMINATION]

interesting agme where can i get this game? :D

[slasher19XX]

TOOTHPASE LAZOR OWNS!

[urpwnd4]

i <3 raiden 1-4! btw ur amazing at this game! 5\5!

[x6h0ztx]

to bad R-types hit boxes wherent like raiden =]

[JDoucette]

I'm developing a shmup that has inspiration from the Raiden series, but I am also incorporating Bullet Hell gameplay modes as well. I keep the hitbox larger than Bullet Hell shooters, about the size Raiden 3 (Raiden 1 and 2 were too large) since I believe a 1x1 hitbox ruins the game, since you don't really feel like you're working to dodge the bullets. My game is called Duality ZF. Check out my profile for a video. I hope you guys try it when it's released. I'd love to hear your feedback.

[ErichoTTA]

I love these games so it's great just watching you play them.

[thewagstaff]

I LOVE YOU KITCHEN GU- Arcade overhead shooters.

[FightingSeraph]

Ever thought about making another shmup after you get done with MKF?

[JudgeSpear2]

I might remake XF-EX for a start.

[roachrodgers]

I love the purple laser, its my favorite weapon in the series...and LOL at the uber coiling it does on the 1st boss.

[wiggychiggy]

Bronze Harpy! Do a Barrel Roll!

And excellent 99th video, Js!

[xoyv]

yesterday i got to play radin fighters 2 for the first time, it was a arcade machine

[TNTColonel]

JS, considering you're so good at SHMUPS, have you ever considered trying out one of the Touhou Games?

've watched some videos and they seem to be pretty intense... Maybe a good challenge for your skills?

[Stavekoff]

Touhou ruins everything

[TNTColonel]

Why? Isn't it just another SHMUP?

[Stavekoff]

It's a plague is what it is. Yes it's a SHMUP , but the art style and the lolis inspire weeaboos to orgasm over it. Anything that makes weeaboos happy is a terrible thing indeed.

[DagAmer0221]

Oh, then the internet is a terrible thing, as it makes weeaboos happy. Same with Youtube.

/devil's advocate

[Stavekoff]

I never said the internet was good? Maybe I'm a weeaboo fag in denial

[ShadowBaofu]

I'll have to agree with you on that, but I'm not here to talk about that mess. Thanks JS for uploading Invade Your Mind! I've been looking everywhere for that tune.

[ShatteredFoX]

touhou doesn't ruin anything?

[Stavekoff]

yes it does?

[GameDude2]

No it doesn't. Touhou is great but not as great as Raiden Fighters. Now if there was only a crossover which I doubt.

[titansurge]

trust me. those games are nothing compared to the musehimesama games.

[JudgeSpear2]

A billion bullets on-screen does not automatically mean it's harder than more conventional shmups like Raiden Fighters. Cave games like Mushihimesama Futari have mechanics BUILT around tiny ship hitboxes and tiny bullet hitboxes, as well as forcing you to weave inside bullet patterns. Raiden Fighters is hard because of enemies that appear from the side and larger hitboxes.

[densuo]

not to mention that in most bullet hell games the spreads tend to be super slow. In Raiden Fighters you'll fight normal sets and then BAM something comes out of nowhere with an extremely quick set of shots.

Heck dont even factor that in Raiden Fighters you can control the speed of your manueverability whereas in most Cave shooters you can.

Or how about how bombs are instant saves in Cave shooters but the raiden mkII 's bomb has a start up.

Good vid Judge

[HazzardousEco]

Don't get me started on how terrible I am with SHUMPS games...I could barely hold my own in 1943...one of the few SHUMPS that was tamed...

[WTFDo00D]

Yea the lazor pwns in Raiden fighters... hehe dont ever have to mash shoot anymore.... just hold A down(gotta dodge sometime)

[wakkaboom1987]

wtf that blow up my mind O_O

[imsc2323]

I've played this game at an arcade, took me about 2 dollars of tokens to get on the second level.

[FightingSeraph]

Raiden kicks ass, and so do you JS!

[shaungregory]

it would be perfect if someone port xeno fighters to the psp with homebrew

[StriderShadow]

I have Raiden fighters on mame.. And i have to say great playing, i usually burn a few continues at that stage ^^

[AndreTXH]

Judgespear mah boi, your abilities to survive bullet hells are awsome

[peepeevagi]

I remember that game.

The "Giant purple dildo" and missile combo.

[GameDude2]

Nice work! I heard that Raiden mk-2 was difficult to control due to his slow speed.

[MissingNYC]

oh man.... that video game takes me back.. i wonder how much money i spent on it as a kid... lol... the laser... FTW!

[randomyoshi]

Purple lazer (or lazor?) FTW.

[OfficialMC2]

As far as the video goes, I sometimes wonder why Judgespear even bothers with MUGEN anymore when he can pretty much be godly with these shoot-em-up games.

[ColdDraga]

He bothers with MUGEN because he likes it. Simple as that.

[GmodPlusWoW]

That Whip Laser just licks an enemy, and it explodes out of humiliation of violation.

[dishamonpow]

lol 99th video power:P

[ReiKusanagi]

what a fluke death... still VERY good even mastered that whip laser. Second part was also awesome.

[TNTColonel]

Impressive as always, Judge.

Your SHMUP ability never ceases to amaze.

[OfficialMC2]

BGM Makes me think of Midnight's Eternal Champions 2 theme

[JudgeSpear2]

Invade Your Mind reminds me more of a Streets of Rage song.

[ResumeDPosition]

damn you know Raiden Fighters very well JS.

[TheLoneSerpent]

Speaking of originating music, I noticed that one of RPG Maker's dungeon music sounds exactly like the sewer music from Meridian 59. I noticed this in one of your old videos that pitted Homer against Bowser.

[JudgeSpear2]

You're right. It is.

I found the original Meridian 59 MIDI files, and the RPG Maker version's is similar except for different percussion.

[EGarrett01]

I thought this was strategy for playing Rayden in Mortal Kombat II.

[JudgeSpear2]

That's why I used the proper spelling of "Raiden" instead of the Mortal Kombat character spelling "Rayden".

[Genokoopa98]

PURPLE LAZAR FTW
