Darius Gaiden (ZONE X BOSS)

[evilsoshi]

Crab people. Crab people. Craaab people.

so this is based on a true japanese story featuring a giant enemy crab and how the little plane managed to defeat it without problems.

[999lazerman]

I found her easier than other final bosses in this game

[yoshi945]

yea at first time i fight this CRAB it just made me CRAPE in my pants......

[DarkKetzerisch]

Featured on TV Tropes! =D

[phyerboss]

CRAB BATTLE!

[egg64]

You don't have the true weapons you need. You need lemon and butter to take this behemoth down.

Nice run through......and no use of the Black Hole? Wow.

[ChaosBladewing]

Confession Time!!!

Who is here from TV tropes?

Dont be shy :3

[B4ULoveShine]

@ChaosBladewing I actually joined TVTropes, because of this link, among other things.

Oh, going back on topic, thanks for the pattern. It'll help us to do a single-credit clear.

[MathUDX]

Autofire takes a good chunk of the depth and adrenaline rush out of certain shooters like Darius Gaiden. Try getting a single-credit clear without cheating sometime. It's SO much more rewarding and satisfying.

[Verd1m5]

What a noob. Cheat codes?

[lostlover101]

well he did use one or two cheat codes there is no invincibility cheat the only two codes i he used was rapid fire thats a given and maybe the nine creds cause i use the nine creds jus to beat the freakin game and i was lucky to get the original disc of darius gaiden

[capnpayne]

this player doesn't need to credit-feed.  also, rapid-fire isn't really cheating on darius gaiden... that's the way it's played.

[literalgameboy]

WRONG, it's just taken for granted like hell. the Extra version is played with autofire, though.

this applies to a lot of older arcade games; while it doesn't exactly make the game easier, playing with autofire is simply too troublesome

but with Darius Gaiden, oh no, it's insane how easy the game gets with autofire

[capnpayne]

whatever dude, like every score on shmups forum is autofire enabled and i think mostly everyone who knows whats up plays it with autofire

[literalgameboy]

exactly, you prove my point

[gs68]

You're kidding, right? There's a good number of shmup players who have 1-credited Darius Gaiden.

[MetallicMushroom]

Me for one (tho it's not the pcb, i play a port)

[literalgameboy]

meh, there's really only the autofire cheat that anyone cares for, and it's pretty common because the game is ridiculously difficult without it

also because for some reason Japanese officials will almost always allow autofire, I guess

[heavenskilla]

damn how long it took u 2 get the pattern down 4 every boss?

[wormwood5073]

Crab battle!

[agmdam]

giant enemy crab

[gs68]

So here's this giant enemy...ah fuck it.

[compewtore]
