DoDonPachi Resurrection Ura 2-ALL (Normal difficulty, Arcade mode)

[TheZEGMAN]

Amazing

[antijelly]

So i just wan't to clarify. Sorry if someones already asked this.

So to get to hibachi,

You need to play on arcade mode,

normal or hard,

Get 35 bees (45?)

and... voila?

I played this on the Xbox 360 and was reminded of why I hate bullet Hell games.

[Imozart0341I]

@Notvidya You have to forgive that guy with his DDP4 statement, he just wants the the game to come to NA so bad he's going crazy

[KiethSomataw99]

What would you think of Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu being released to NA on the Xbox 360 under the title Dodonpachi 4: Revive and Rise.

[Notvidya]

@KiethSomataw99 DoDonPachi 4 is silly because it gives legitimacy to DoDonPachi 2 and also sort of ignores that DoDonPachi is DonPachi 2. Also Revive and Rise sounds way sillier than DoDonPachi Resurrection which is the already-localized name so they should just do that.

[TheMcK777]

Okay, forgive me for asking a stupid question just for a second...

What is the name of this Colonel guy, and why the hell is he so obsessed with total world domination anyway? What's his deal?

[IlSPlI]

@TheMcK777

Longhena Gottvin (or maybe Godwin). He was manipulating the Elemental Daughters into destroying humanity so that he could rebuild it to his own design of perfection, because he sees all of humanity as "flawed" (which seems to be some sort of a requirement for becoming leader of the DonPachi Squadron...).

[OZZYRULES200]

Would you buy this for a xbox 360? I might when it comes out in november. I have Mushimesama Futari for the 360 and it's a fun but tough game.

[UltraDragonDragon]

@OZZYRULES200 I don't know about this guy here but I will totally throw my money to RSG for bringing it here.

I am extremely hyped for the Black Label DLC.

It's the most awesome of awesome.

[OZZYRULES200]

@UltraDragonDragon I can't play black label for MS bc i haven't downloaded it yet and i know i would suck at it.  Deathsmiles's MBL is tough too. I want to 1cc both games before i buy black label DLC.

This announcer doesn't sound cute compared to the Japanese one...

[thapoint09]

@Ebb1993isgreat:

It probably is the Japanese one.

[Ebb1993isgreat]

@thapoint09 The announcer in this version sounds bored and funny. But the Japanese one sounds cute.

[thapoint09]

@Ebb1993isgreat:

The announcer in this version also has an obvious Japanese accent.

[Ebb1993isgreat]

@thapoint09 She doesn't sound cute compared to the original Japanese version, though.

[troysson81]

@Ebb1993isgreat:

Probably cause she's speaking English.

Actually, the Japanese version's announcer doesn't sound that cute either, from what I heard.

[Ebb1993isgreat]

@troysson81 How does it not sound cute? The way how she sounds, the way how she says "Just a couple more shots!" and the way how she says "Desu" at the end of every sentence makes her sound cute...

[troysson81]

@Ebb1993isgreat:

*From what I heard.* As in, one phrase. Not really much to go by.

[Ebb1993isgreat]

@troysson81 But why would anyone say that?

[troysson81]

@Ebb1993isgreat:

Say what?

[Ebb1993isgreat]

@troysson81 That the Japanese voice isn't cute.

[troysson81]

@Ebb1993isgreat:

1. You're basically saying "why would someone think differently from me?"

2. Didn't I JUST say I haven't heard much of it?

[Ebb1993isgreat]

@troysson81 Sorry.

[jpopkamaria]

I'm horrible at collecting bees and I'm trying to get to Ura loop on iPhone mode. Any tips?

[Notvidya]

@jpopkamaria Use these images for finding where they are - mediafire /?3ix68nyf6tza56k - and this video for figuring out how/when to get them. A couple of the bees in stage 5 were a little tricky.

[jpopkamaria]

@Notvidya Just reached the hidden 2nd loop and I can definitely confirm your claim that you only need to 1 credit the first loop with all bees to get in~

[MrDarkone66]

@Notvidya can u collect the bee items when they're any color?

[MrDarkone66]

@MrDarkone66 do you also have to fight the hidden mini boss in each stage to fight hibachi?

[SarkenHS]

So hibachi appear on every difficulty...? Good to know :o Congrulation for you playthough

[Notvidya]

@SarkenHS Not every difficulty, no. Since it's not possible to enter the Ura loop on Easy, it just dumps you into Tsuujou no matter what, you can't face Hibachi on Easy.

[SarkenHS]

@Notvidya Ah. Well, i think i can still face hibachi on novice mode normal difficulty. ^^ Thanks for the info.

[Erppo]

I like your stage 5 chain (though hypering after the first midboss was a bad move). Nice work, even if the Normal difficulty seems to make this much easier than the normal game.

For what you said in the annotations: You get hits whenever your hyper shot touches a bullet for the first time, but you don't directly get chain meter. You get that from the airborne stars so you need to actually cancel the bullets to keep the chain going. You only get hyper charge with Power's Boost hyper shot.

[Notvidya]

@Erppo Yeah, I'm still not entirely sure exactly how the arcade's scoring works. (And I kinda hypered there just because I felt like not having to dodge bullets for a little while... heh.) Why was that a bad move? Do you get fewer points when killing things while hypered/not at full hyper meter?

Another thing I'm not entirely sure about is why some bullets get canceled near-immediately when hit by hyper shot, and others seem much more resistant. But I guess that's a boss thing.

[Erppo]

@Notvidya You get a multiplier for your chain score when you have a high hit count (maxes at 10,000), your hyper meter is full and you are not hypering. This is the key for the really big scores so you want to use hypers to first get the hit count up and then only when you don't think you can keep the chain without them.

All bullets are the same, it's the hyper rank that affects how well you cancel them. That grows every time you hyper (maxes at 5) and resets between stages in the first loop.

[Notvidya]

@Erppo Ah, I see. That's way more complicated than the iPhone mode scoring. (And maybe not knowing all that is part of the reason I'm at 133th rank in Arcade, but 5th in iPhone...)

Thanks!

[Evrain64]

Destroying Golden Disaster knowing Longhena is piloting it feels... good. Time to die, you bastard.

[Notvidya]

@Evrain64 But Longhena is so awesome.

Besides, the ending with Longhena and the Element Daughters sitting behind him doesn't change even if you destroy Golden Disaster. I'm not exactly sure WHEN that takes place, given all the time travel shenanigans that are going on, but it's safe to say Longhena isn't for-sure dead.

[Evrain64]

@Notvidya few years before the Blissful Death Wars. basically, EXY Next tried to destroy DonPachi Corps and avoid the conflict altogether. Point is, she actually set everything in motion - Longhena becomes commander, Dolls are sent to war, everything blows up.

So yeah, basically you 2-looped the game for nothing. We are still screwed.

[GITAHxgCoo]

I like how you handled Hibachi's low battery attack.
