GRADIUS V Loop 13-1 RANK VERY HARD

[1PhatL]

Is that a vagain?

[overseastom]

Beginner's luck?

[novato455]

dude thats some insame skills, i bet it took him a few weeks or months of practice

[takulu64]

nobody actually know what touhou is

its the second suggestions video

[takulu64]

touhou normal mode stage 3

easy as pie :D just hard to not die once :/

[Hakkuden]

Come on! Is the hitbox this small?! O_o"

[VideosbySteve]

One of my fave shooters...

THIS NEEDS A XBLA/PSN RELEASE!!!!!

[GodxOfxObelisk]

You can pee lasers at the Bacterians!! Shoop Da Whoop Cell would be envious...

[BrutusAlbion]

wth the bullets go right through the plane sometimes. Even SNES shmups had better hit detection than this.

[renegade1404]

@BrutusAlbion the hitbox of the ship is very small. It's done that way so that the game is a little easier for the player than the other games in the series. Still, have u seen that level? I challenge u to do it!

[BrutusAlbion]

@renegade1404 haha honestly, I wouldn't last more than 5 seconds with all that bullet blitz going on. I'm half blind and suffer from cateract vision so I suck at detecting stuff coming from all direction. That's why I suck at fps, specialy snipers -.- I play the shmups on slow-mo mode :P or with rewind feature xD I know I'm pathetic

[BedStuyBro]

That is amaazing. This should have way more views. I've never seen that Boss on hard before. Two cores!!!

[TronPachioftheDynamo]

@BedStuyBro It's only in loop 2 and over.

[TronPachioftheDynamo]

@BedStuyBro In most arcade shooters, loops are how many times you beat the game in a row without stopping. It's an easier way of saying second playthrough or in Succula's case playthrough 13.

[Wolverinefangirl]

WOW!!!!!!! :O

[Tiypo1337]

damn, god tier hitbox awareness

[jikustik]

this game from ps 3?...

[AOTD3025]

@jikustik PS2, actually. On an unrelated note, the hit box is the cockpit of the fighter (as far as I can tell, anyway).

[royalguard56]

...that's just fucking ridiculous. Really nothing else to say.

[Tallos1]

Damn this is totally the most amazing side scrolling space shooter game i've seen ever. I'm shocked how awesome it is... i don't get why didn't i knew it exist xD

[RyanVelvet]

@Tallos1 you might want to try out Jets 'N' Guns too, may not look like much from youtube videos, but i seriously recommend it !

[Tallos1]

@RyanVelvet Yeah i've played it. It's awesome too.

[Retsamegas]

See, if he just played through pretty good and couldn't beat the boss, he's just a virgin loser.

But when you can beat that all the way through, you can get laid off that, awesome playing sir

[MaxiRyu]

This guy is from another planet...

[santiainen]

when the boss started. My eyes exploded.

[metalkorax]

Excellent music.

[kaede103084]

3:25 how da fuck is he not getting hit!!??? O_O

[tinabranford614]

@kaede103084 those attacks did not actually hit the hitbox, which is waay smaller than the ship's graphic :)

and oh, the player is a girl. can you believe it? heheheh...

[Steller1980]

@tinabranford614 Yup, I can believe it. You know, Treasure should of put chaining points in this game as well.

[InterstellarBrad]

@Steller1980 No, they shouldn't.

[87Harm]

That is ridiculous. A mind-blowing amount of time had to have gone into perfecting the timing/placement. GOOD JOB!

[ZatDudeOnline]

OMG, thats incredible, I never knew there were players of this caliber out there...that's true BULLET HELL!!!! Impressive display of gaming prowess...

[Akrilloth]

what the heck is up with da eyes? O_ó

[BlueFrost01]

i'm seeing if i can hack this to psp

[BlueFrost01]

i fought that thing and it kick my ass the first time

and 2nd and 3rd and 4th i won the 5th

first time epic failure

[ikmalmaster]

really???

[BlueFrost01]

first time i thought it couldn't possibly be that hard

so i start on easy

[AshTrai]

If u played the game u'd learn that the hitbox that the ship has is smaller than the graphic of the ship.

L2play

[esjihn]

3:43-3:55 is OG! XD

[hotsaucedahustla]

WTF! I've never seen anyone play this game like this guy! I thought I was good, but he pawns me. Hat's off man...

[esjihn]

very hard is so delish!

[babarudi]

i love then they explode

[sasquatsch9]

WOW . thats amazing!

I make it to the 4th level on very easy (Yes i know shame in me:-)) without using a credit, but then i´m finished...

[Leiliel1]

Bactarian: Oy...How hard can it be to invade Earth after 12 trie-OH SHIT, IT'S SUCCULLA! RETREAT!

[SaviourV]

Succulla showed no mercy every time the Bacterion invaded Earth, notably in Gradius Gaiden...^_^;

[kinmanyuen]

wow..... just wow! it has been 14 years since I played gradius3!

Spectacular boss explosions lol insane skillz

[lpologarni]

the light blue energy balls pass right through the ship without doing any dmg when the enemy is looping 4:41

[sasquatsch9]

Thats because not the whole ship is a zone where you can be hit, you just have to pay attention to a small "HITBOX" within the ship

[theelostriots9999]

OMG, that thing in the middle is like that thing in Radiant Silvergun. Treasure developed this didn't they, an Konami published it.

I'll have to pick it up and have a play.

[sec0f111]

you're my hero

[donZeriouS]

how can he stay that cool :0 ...... stunning!

[DragonCharlz]

damn, thats crazy. i don't know what else to say, lol.

[ichigo3223]

0.o Amazing.  5*s

[redrob67]

I really don't know what is wrong with my copy of Gradius V. At the end of Stage 2 it just goes back to the beginning.

I don't recognise half of the enemies and backgrounds shown in videos of Gradius V on YouTube.

Does the 'hardness' setting at the beginning have something to do with it?

Help!!!!

[tempkn145]

So...many...EXPLOSIONS!!! D<

[dynamicwolf]

that was amazing XD

[TranceDevotee]

mad skills

[jiyuusenshi]

that is a SWEET laser power

[arroy624]

think it looks too easy......

[henny5555]

Every time one of those planets blow up i always think of Wario because of their death n oise.

[Xeogred]

Umm, wow. Epic.

[knightonlinefan]

it's harder than ikaruga..

cause in this one all the bullets can hit u ;/

[krokounleashed]

dude if you wanna score high in ikaruga you have to use the opposite color the enemy attacks you with :)

[knightonlinefan]

thats for score. i speak of survival xD

[caelitus1]

knightonlinefan wrote"it's harder than ikaruga..

it doesn't make Ikaruga easy, in fact it makes it harder in my opinion

[knightonlinefan]

never said Ikaruga was easy..

and well I find gradius harder, cause for some reason I'm very good with colors when it comes to ikaruga xD

[Goldsun1715]

Try chaining the whole thing.

[knightonlinefan]

i have xD

and im still better at ikaruga xD

[Goldsun1715]

Wow, okay, until you prove it with a video or a screenshot, I'm calling BS.

[Broyale26]

Me too, and this is coming from someone who has played Gradius V inside and out.

[Broyale26]

Try 1CC'ing Dodonpachi DOJ (both loops), Ibara, or even Battle Garegga.

[NotHomelessAnymore]

FUCK! My eyes nearly dropped out of their sockets. That is masterful.

[eugen1225]

This is insane.

[Vespher]

So its nice to see that they finally invented Androids.

[JPpando50]

I'm not sure what version of Gradius V this is..at the beginning the speaker clearly announces 'Option' when the ship got its first clone. In the US version this was changed to 'Multiple' for Gradius V, which actually makes a lot more sense. I grew up calling them options or sidewinders and niether is the most descriptive term.

[divisionbyz3r0]

its the japanese version. Japanese=option American=multiple

[Ut2004Ut2005]

i have the german version and on the german version is the music faster than here 0=

[AnimaCalibur]

hmm... if I'm not mistaken, the collision box of vic viper here covers about 1/3 of the ship and located near the rocket. I've tried the near-miss too on the same loop, same time, and same spot and OMG, I died!!

That means the collision box of the boss's shock sphere is almost the size of it's visual appearance, so this one is odd.

Still alive after she's almost get hit on its rocket. It's simply etheral.

Is this a cheat? ☺

[bsidwell]

You are mistaken. The hitbox in Gradius V is the cockpit and nothing else.

[stretchypants123]

Wow this guy's a Beast!!! >=O

[enalvarado]

Either you are invincible or you are the best gamer i've seen in a long time....

[GlaForge]

Christ!!!!...uh....well...this makes all discussions of "What Contra game is the most difficult" look like a pile of crap!

Good job man...its...wow! :S

[swanzyn1]

not humsn

[l3riani]

nice job ;)

[kimcheolho]

Are you HUMAN??

[bandman232]

How the hell isn't he getting hit??? THAT"S IMPOSSIBLE!

[reddragonlaser]

wait. there are more than 10 loops!?!?!

[moozooh]

256, but the difficulty doesn't grow after 10th, IIRC.

[FlemNmzzzz]

schematics of this game have to be described to explain where the hit-box and collision detection could occur otherwise this is horse-radish.

[Blueoriontiger]

Nuh uh. Same thing in Gradius 3...it can barely scraped the wings and nose, but if it goes past the edge, kaboom, you're dead.

[FlemNmzzzz]

Well in any case, I can safely say that I don't plan on performing this good in this game any time soon!!!

[compewtore]

Hitbox is extremely small, upper left corner of the ship, behind the cockpit

[FlemNmzzzz]

Is that correct? I'll play around with it some more.  I might be able to deal a lil better knowing that. thx

[Shinkada]

Yeah, the more infamous shmupps (and by infamous, I mean, more difficult) generally have very small hitboxing. Developers do this... To piss off newbies who don't know this? I dunno. =P Look at any really difficult shmupp play, you'll see people ALWAYS have to know EXACTLY where the ship's hitbox is.

[FlemNmzzzz]

Yup you were right. Slowed a few down and lo-and-behold, some shots go right thru the nose of the ship at times. I also noticed that on some of those videos the players had a lil bit harder time managing the uber-close shots near the rear of the ship tho. In order for me to be able to pull off plays like these, I would have to memorize what enemy shoots what kind of bullet and so on and so forth.

[Shinkada]

Yeah, pro shmuppers are insane. Want something REALLY insane? Search Youtube for 'Ikaruga two'. It's the first result that comes up.

[FlemNmzzzz]

O_o two handed, two ships..? Player1 and Player2?

We are trruly not worthy.  Nailing a perfect run to boot!!? brb gotta see that one again.

[Shinkada]

XD I know, nuts eh? I can understand that he's synchronized his hands, often moving the ships at the same time, in the same or opposite directions, sometimes even putting them on top of each other. He rarely moves them indapendantly, which would be a feat worthy of worship, but it's still freaken' impressive.

[FlemNmzzzz]

Sorry but I have to close out this post. I will remain the north star... This method of game play is inferior.

[moozooh]

Gradius III has a rectangular hitbox covering about half of the ship, maybe a bit more, search for "gradius 3 hitbox" or something — BGR has uploaded a video with hitbox display.

Contrary to that, Gradius V has a hitbox of about ~3 pixels in diameter, marked by the dark area signifying the cockpit (if you align your options just above/below you and aim at yourself, the laser will go right through this spot). It's just that not every bullet has a hitbox as large as it visually appears, either.

[rayzarz]

GOD MODE!!!!!!i know that too!

[CarmenOfSpades]

Thats a very impressive play!

[Proton1]

Ridiculous.

[aaronvien]

crazy but how cant u die?

[moozooh]

He doesn't suck at this game, apparently. It helps not dying.

[ikmalmaster]

one reason that he use force field when he start to fight the boss

[robberval]

That's insane. You're not human.

[ZeetherKID77]

That's a lot of Zelos

[vemsinobi]

super play!!!!
