There is a trick for the blocks: just bait some of the first blocks near to a corner (not in the corner itself) and build yourself a "wall". All the blocks are coming from the same place and they all will throw themselves to that wall of yours as you keep yourself, still and calm for a pair of minutes. You could go to the restroom while you're at it XD

Options wall :)

@@JeshuaMorbus that is in fact what I ended up doing! Though the first time I tried it I built it too close to myself and slammed right into it when the stage started scrolling again. Oops

There is, but only for psp as a downloadable only.

Actually there is a physical copy UMD for the PSP console. It is called: Gradius Collection (USA) Gradius Portable (JPN)

dalfan87 NP X)

I don't think that i've even focused on that in this gameplay before X)

@Wilson Nascimento Imagine if he threw his discs like a juggler and you had to dodge each throw?

Glad to know it :) Thanks ^^

I personally think they could expand on the archetype they have in Yu-Gi-Oh based on these starships.

LMAO i think you're one of the minority here who does that. And I did so too myself!

Ken G True - but don't try bullet hells like keepers core on Gradius V X) PS : to be honest - i was shivering of nervousness when i reached Heavens Gate XP

If this is insane then Gradius V is the true definition of insanity 😆 Also - i would have liked your comment if you didn't upvote yourself 😔

@@aliultimate009 To be honest im just a casual gamer dude when i saw this game you are GODLIKE player cheers 90'S gamer here my childhood is awesome 👍

@@emerbinoluan573 Godlike ? Nah ... anybody can do this if they were willing & persistent enough to put their achieved skills into the test after a long hard practice. It took me about 1 year of revision on the game mechanics & AI - with physical & mental training to have the necessary speed of reflexes & reactions to turn the situation to my favor when battling those bosses. I also used to be a very casual player in my early days of playing the Gradius series until i saw those insane gameplays here on youtube which motivated me to work hard on improving my skills by focusing closely on the pros gameplays then using save & load feature in later releases of the Gradius series titles which heavily helped on improving my tactics & strategies.

It was a shivering experience if you ask me x_x Anyway - thanks ^^

Yeah! That was badass!!!

Glad to know it thanks ^^ If you're into a fair game in difficulty ( even on hardest ) then i advice you to try this masterpiece ^^

um ... i'm not japanese X)

Simple - just keep playing & saving every time you finish your gameplay to let your playing time be registered in the data to gain extra credits until you reach free play. Also to unlock higher loops you need to finish a single loop then after starting the next loop just finish the first stage on the next loop then save the game to make sure to unlock stage select mode.

Oh, that's very interesting. How do you save the game? I forgot how to do it because the PSP that has the game (Gradius Collection) went missing, sadly.

@@TAT1101 you can save in the option menu. There is a save & load selection in the menu or called memory card or data.

Ah, thanks. Can you do it in-game?

@@TAT1101 In Gradius Collection yes if you pause the game in the pause menu 😉 Make sure to save the game every time you finish the gameplay & just in case - do it manually in the option menu 👍 The option menu is available in-game at the main menu screen 👍 You need to collect time of your gameplay about total of maybe over 17 hours for free play mode, but i don't mean 17 hours straight - no - i mean like play at least 1 hour a day then save the game until you reach 17 hours.

XD i've noticed that!

***** Glad to know it :) Thanks :)

The difficulty is doubled by the loop. This was played at maximum loop & difficulty.

+Quan Heie Hansen Thanks X)

They’re made by the same company

Thx 👍

+Ken Murawski Thanks X)

How long have you practice of this?You are crazy!Well done,man!

+李晉熙 😂 In this video - at it's time - i've practiced this game for 1 year playing on very hard difficulty loop by loop until loop 8 - then i started to try this boss rush with Falchion Beta with gravity bullet & maybe Limit Force Field, then i started on trying this stage with only machine gun & speed ups after clearing all of the previous 7 stages on hardest difficulty X) It made my hair turn white ( exaggeration ) in order to achieve this X)

aliultimate009 A lot of Hong Kong players like me use force field instead of using limit because they never knows who to set their gauge.XD 😂

+李晉熙 I see XP

I think it was something like Seppuku ( Samurai Suicide - Honor Code ) killing himself once he disgrace himself or it could be an error in the cpu of Delta-Tri after destroying the core, but since he do it also without the core being destroyed can lead to the conclusion that it could be Seppuku for being disgraced for not finishing off the enemy in time X)

That's make good sense , interesting . This game is created by Konami ( Japanese Company ) after all ^_^

Also , it's very unique way and idea to do Seppuku too ^_^

+Romus011 I guess so X)

O u t s i d e r a reference of A-jax/Trigon

Not really a danmaku - more like an intelligent battling tactics from the AI by using enough weaponry attacks to put the player on the most minimum chances of maneuver :) In short : An *Intelligent Tactical Battle.* Or *I.T.B*

➈ Fufufu~, I see you're a man of culture as well, ze.
