DoDonPachi - Stage 1-1

[DaveElectric]

Dodging the enemy fire is alot easier than it looks.

[moganDESU]

@LeonR246 I have; they're insane. And I already mentioned Mushihime-sama...

[moganDESU]

You think this is hard? Dude. Play Touhou. Or Mushihimesama.

[border205]

No I am sure that it was the arcade mode, I've been playing games like this since I was a little kid.

[t29sinking]

Win without losing once : congrulations.

Me, i lose every 20 sec cos i love to try avoid "armed-ball".

[border205]

I played this game for about 2 hours am I finished it in arcade mode with no continues, and I spent $50 on the Saturn version, guess its now time for Radient Silvergun $200+

[PseudoMcNym]

@border205 Are you sure you weren't playing "Saturn Mode?" I heard that was supposed to be easier than the arcade mode.

[facezy]

DAMN!!!!! this is the most awesome game ever seen!

[RenegadeFury]

WHY IS DIS NOT ON ANDROID

[TrevHead10]

BTW did you plan out the routes yourself or get it from a superplay video. If it is a super play could u tell me what the vid was as there is shortage of C-S runs on the net.

Either way you play a hell of alot better then i do atm :)

[TrevHead10]

ive just started playing this and i must say im having a blast, this run is the best C-S run ive seen yet, THX for posting it.

Still its bloody hard to keep ur chain going plus i cant stop trying to collect every bee i find even though i should be just learning the basics at first and keep on dieing cos of it.

[Krondelo]

Oh yeah, you didn't do the boss trick though, looks like you almost had it. Shoot the floating guns and destroy them when they are spinning.

[Krondelo]

Pretty good, you can max 191 to mid boss then 61.

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

this or M.U.S.H.A.???

[r33mote]

this! Even though Compile makes some amazing vertical shmups [Super Aleste, Zanac X Zanac, Guardian Legend, etc], this game beats MUSHA by far.

[redeyedol]

DoDonPachi.

Very well rounded game with a great scoring system, lots of depth in gameplay, and enough challenge to even keep the hardcore coming back.

MUSHA is still great, but DDP is the king of shmups.

[MintySpunkBubble]

One of the most hectic shooters indeed.

[SuperGhost64]

this game is crazy! i remember playing this in an arcade!

[DeepSeaSeamus]

whats better shot mode or laser mode

[ResumeDPosition]

Depends on the ship you use. There seems to be mutual agreement on these types being better though:

Type A: Laser

Type B: Debatable

Type C: Shot

[pred0212]

a mutually agreement that something is debatable, that doesnt really make any sense ;-)

but yea, i tend to have more fun playing w/ type A (he's right, laser is better for it), but if u want high scores, C w/ shot is the way to go.

[capnpayne]

500+ million with A-LASER PROMETHEUS

world record is like 700 mil if I recall and it's type b, can't remember SHOT or LASER though

[kw1ksh0t]

I actually prefer type A with shot, seems to obliterate everything in front of you if you mash the fire button :)

[KiethSomataw99]

@ResumeDPosition funny thing about that, ScHlAuChi used shot on Type A and as a result, it appeared as if the shots were more effective than laser.

[konsyjes]

he he that blast of blue light looks like a giant schlong..!

[null1023]

Man, I'm impressed. I usually top out at 40-50 hits on level 1. I've never been able to chain for that long intentionally.

[paulhindt]

First time I played DoDonPachi was in a Panda Express in Anaheim, Ca. I'll never forget that day. Orange Chicken and DDP...classic.

[michiyoyoshiku]

@paulhindt

Sounds like a Typical day here at Retrocade Fantasia HQ

[Nicky634]

Question: Why at the end of level 1, when the energy became red, you don't use the super beam? You can do under 100 hits or more!

[Smraedis]

As then you lose a +X1 on your maximum bonus for using a bomb, so you drop a lot of score until then next bomb, by doing that.

[figment1988]

this game is cool. but the assload of bullets the enemy fires, that's another story. i mean, holy shit!!

[QlexTENDER]

Very nice, but did you try to destroy the boss' side attacks when they were rotating? It seems like you tried, but it isn't easy, is it?

[Smraedis]

Yeah, I usually do destroy the sides, my aims were to just get far when I was playing at the time, so I didn't try to maximise score.

[QlexTENDER]

Oh ok. Insane you got to 2-3, you were right when you didn't try to maximise score, in my opinion.

[Smraedis]

Thanks, I usually play for score in games, but DoDonPachi is too hard to play for score.

[bandman232]

@Smraedis funny. i find this easier than R-Type and Ketsui.

[horsie111]

Nice. Which software do you use to record MAME playbacks?

[gurumed]

I try all the time to chain everything up to the miniboss in 1-1 and I can't do it... I either take those bits on the ground out too fast or too slow, so I get like a 71 hit... I really envy people who are great at this game like you obviously are because it's one of my absolute favorites. I'm gonna watch this a bit more and keep trying

[EatenByGrues]

what version of the game is this? ps1, sat, pcb, or mame?

[FiRezfps]

mame, i can tell because there's no loading times

and the INSERT COIN message below the 2nd player hud

:P

nice video i perfected this level too but I always die in the 2nd half of the next level

I'm new to the genre this game and ikaruga (dc version) got me addicted

[Smraedis]

Yep, it is recorded from MAME.

[zorakis]

nice run pro gamer hehe
