This is my first (and, so far, only) 1cc of this game. (I haven't really played it since.) I got this run quite a while ago (the day after the game was released on XBLA), but I never got around to capturing and uploading it until now.

I haven't put a huge amount of effort into this game, so I don't go for a lot of scoring opportunities. This is pretty low for a clear score, really. (It's essential to do some scoring, in order to get weapon levels high enough to be able to handle the later stages.) Maybe if I get back into this game, I'll try the stage 4 route, which scores a lot higher, but is harder. It's a fun stage, though.

As for the run itself, three of the four deaths were pretty stupid and easily avoidable. I didn't really bother trying to chain 3C, and I messed up the chains a little bit in other places (notably 2E), but otherwise I think I did alright in the first two stages. I don't even bother really chaining in stage 5, as survival alone is hard enough for me on that stage, but amazingly I managed to no-miss that stage. I have a feeling the homing lasers at the start of stage 5 behave a little bit differently in this version, so I used a different approach to them compared to usual (that is, actually pay attention to them), and somehow it worked. After that, Xiga taking me down to my last life made me a little nervous (especially with one of the deaths being really dumb), and it wouldn't have been the first time a run ended within seconds of clearing. Fortunately that didn't happen this time, and I actually think the higher resolution on this version helped me dodge stuff.

It took me a little while to adjust to the 360 controls (coming from keyboard with emulator); I had lots of fun fumbling buttons during my first runs. (The game has 7 weapons, and each weapon is assigned to its own button. Fortunately, the weapons are all accessible by combinations of 3 of the buttons, which is how I was used to playing it anyway. I always use the dedicated button for the sword though.) The D-pad is still inferior to the keyboard, and while that usually doesn't cause me any problems, the difference is noticeable when I try to use the sword, for instance.

The XBLA version has some graphical glitches and other minor issues, and it doesn't have any slowdown (bad). As far as I know, the Saturn version is perfect in these regards. The XBLA version does have replays and a good stage practice feature, which is a big plus.

Blah.

I am no stranger to the Saturn Version

@michiyoyoshiku

The original game and the Saturn version had slowdowns. This version doesn't making it harder.

@AZDA9S

This game is harder than it should be I've played Bullet hell shmups easier than this

[michiyoyoshiku]

@AZDA9S

This game is harder than it has any business being. Hell Bullet hell shmups are easier than this one is.

Don't listen to them.

He and other similar people spam that nonsense.

Just because they can't do it doesn't mean anyone can. Only the dedicated (like me) can do it.

Race has nothing to do with it. You just need to have the patience for it. I know I have and achieved results. I get better and better at this game each time.

Now if only I can get my desired recording equipment, I can show off.

@ColdBloodedHayter

You lie, Autistic Savants can also do it.

way to pull through in the end there! =]

All Radiant Silvergun PPLs, accept the truth. The achievement "Cleared Without Using Continues" is confirmed 100% impossible. PPLs are required to die 1,000 times to complete Arcade Mode. Only Japanese players can do 1CC. Americans, South Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Central Americans, Europeans, Australians, Russians, British, Scottish, English, Welsh, Irish, and all non-Japanese players can't do it because they are goddamn stupid to do 1CC. If you are not Japanese, you are very stupid.

I've found the lack of slowdown to be not that big a deal in the end. Stage 2 focuses on more difficult bosses, and Stage 4 focuses more on the stage. I actually have much less trouble with Stage 4 than with Stage 2. If you JUST chain 4A, it gives you a pretty good leeway for a higher score, and allows you to focus on survival a bit more.
