"Don't say lies". One of the best lines of Engrish in Cadash. This game was so underrated compared to the retro games from that era. Such a shame because it plays so well.
and its harder than this. With so many hits you couldnt survive jungle lvl and with such low lvl u cant beat caterpilar that fast. But that differences in vesion. Anyway nice playing M8. Will give u one hint for speeding up. When You hit char is stoping try do all hits together with jumps. Maybe thats a small improvement put after 1000 you speed it up grantly. Cheers!
Yeah, it is a bit difficult stringing jumps and attacks all the time. One of the differences I noticed with some of the other versions of Cadash that I played is that the herbs are a lot more expensive, 200 per pop, and you only get 4...that would change a lot of the strategies that I had with this run, not to mention I would have to be a lot more skilled.
Hi guys. Ive never seen this pc/xbox version. I grow up (could say ;) on coin arcade machines coz they were very popular that time in my country. and Cadash was my fav game. Ive done that time every class with 1 coin. the idea was to have as much pleasure as possible with 1 credit so thats totally different than speedrun. Cause recently I bought som arcade stick for pc/ps3 been playing loot of cadash on mame. And there is defo smt wrong with difficulty in this ver. Im playing on standard.
It's been ages since I have seen Cadash. This game is so hard to find. I played it as an undergraduate at Texas Tech University, and I think it is one of the coolest games, a classic.
I'm now trying to make a fighter speedrun, which has several difficulties compared to the ninja: you have to play much more carefully because of the melee range, and you need to collect enough money at the jungle stage else you won't be able to buy weapons and the silver key...but should be possible.
OK...made it, now I have to screen capture and convert to vid. Finishing on one credit with the fighter is already hard by itself, I had to use both elixirs for my run. Some levelling was mandatory in the jungle stage, because the weapons are so expensive and you need at least 3000 gold for inn + weapons + silver key at the gnome's shop. Not ready for a no-level, no-upgrade run yet, sorry :-p
Nice video, I particularly liked the trick for skipping the cave/craken level altogether (I guess only fighter/ninja can pull it off). However a pure speedrun would not use any time levelling up ;-)
Perhaps. I did give no leveling a try in some test runs, with disastrous results, especially with the bosses. Some of the bosses you can't even harm unless you're a certain level, and leveling at the rock monsters is not only easy exp, it certainly makes up for lost time in the later stages.
Oh, and the other characters can get through the water, just much more slowly ;)
It's a good thing those pig men can't lift their own body weight up a vine--otherwise they'd ravage the town. Or maybe it's because the clubs are permanently attached to their hands. :)
I remember back in like '88 this was the first coin-op I ever saw that had link play with another cabinet. So amazing for the time.
yeah, when I was testing out some other patches in MAME, I noticed it was a lot more difficult in terms of herbs and the price. (200 for one)..I would say its more balanced in that respect.
This is the game that comes default with Taito Legends 2, so..
lol, nah, it isn't necessary really. The last time I was playing this game, my "failed" warrior run involved me reaching the zombies at L9. It would waste too much time to bother killing them all when you can downstab and jump over them :)
Why did I fail my run? I died right at the last boss..I was sad :(
nice playing. the ninja is my favorite character. Too many ppl seem to believe that the priestess is the best character, but.... the ninja does everything (except getting hit) so much better if you know how to play the game.
Well, technically the priestess is the best..especially for beginners since you can do decent damage, recover health, and negate damage with the shield..and adding extra time is a big one.
Since the ninja is the fastest it's only natural to do a speedrun with him. :) Been working on a 1 credit Warrior run but its heck of a lot harder ;)
And wait until I pull a 1-credit Mage...with levelling and all there's nothing impossible, but a speedrun is a whole other dimension. Some people find him unplayable, but that's a matter of personal taste I believe.
yeah..I feel like its masochism to the extreme, but would definitely impressive to watch considering how hard it is, speed and difficulty wise (aside from fighting the bosses, which is easy)
I've one coined each class on game without using elixirs. The games hard no matter what class you choose. The priest is the easiest class. Then the Mage and Ninja are the same. Mages get nuke spells. Fighter is only alittle tougher then the other classes, basically opposite of movements of the ninja.
Ah dude my fav arcade game of all times :)

try the japanese version instead the english rom.
in the english version the medical herbs are cheap and you can buy more than 4 (jpn ver is limited to 4).
when you walk in the water, before you take damage turn your character, otherwise you step back.

The herb limit will kick in at higher difficulty settings even on non-Japanese versions.

with warrior kill many "stone monster" and levelling to 16, is important to kill the zombie with one hit.

SatoshiLyish 3 years ago
did you complete the japanese version? is not hard, but your speedrun is a little bit easy, your life was saved 2-3 with 8 medical herb.
lv9 with warrior is a big deal, the hard part is fight the "flame dragon" short range and they can kick you to moon with their "heavy" breath.
