It really added a lot to the content to have you there in a sub-genre (bullet hell) that I'm still personally learning myself.

16:12 Lol. Actually Palm says "RECO-CHAAAAANNNN!!!" when he got hit. I heard the point of Mushihimesama Futari's story is, as the subtitle says, a journey of two of them together. It's implied that their bond grew stronger as the stage progresses, so the voice clips change by Stage 3. If I recall Reco will say Palm's name when she got hit on Stage 3 and later.

Haha yeah one other person mentioned that too what he was saying. It totally sounds like Tinkle something to me I didn’t get the Reco-Chan at all. It makes sense. I did notice that btw he only yells it starting stage 3 and was wondering what that was about. But I also got a tip the voice can be turned off so now I know for next time I try to practice ultra 🤣.

Slight correction at 55:35 - the actual condition to get an extend in DOJ WL loop 2 is to either no miss or no bomb the stage. You can spend as many bombs or lives as you want, as long as you don't use consume both in the same stage (or game over). Otherwise, this is an awesome video, love to see more collaborations like this in future!
@ShmupJunkie3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the heads up that’s good to know. I think when he said by not bombing or not dying he meant either or, but I can see how that could be misunderstood as both. I didn’t give it a second thought personally as I have zero chance of either from stage 3 onward haha. Maybe a better chance at getting through a stage not dying by using some bombs every time I got stuck , but pretty much stage 3 onward I’m not good enough to make that happen most times. 😅 My routes aren’t there from not playing enough.. I get into trouble too often. And that’s on loop 1! I can forget about loop 2 lol. Really glad you enjoyed it though I tried to make it fun for both audiences, more casual like myself and Mark’s insight for veteran players. I think even players far better than me, just enjoy seeing games they love represented.

I felt the same way with SDOJ where novice mode felt too easy and the regular arcade mode felt too punishing. For me the solution was to pick the expert mode shot within the novice mode version of the game, it feels like a pretty good middle point and expert mode also has a slightly smaller hitbox so it's a good deal smoother to play. SDOJ's unusually large hitbox for a CAVE shooter is a big part of where its difficulty comes from

On the DOJ stage select, depending on what button you press to start the game, you either start as powered up or without any power ups (you still cannot define hypers, rank etc. so it doesn't help a lot and good players say it's still useless training mode).

Greate list. I really like all of your "top hardest shmups" videos. They are all well made with good knowledge of the subject. That is why I would like to ask: did you thought about making similar list about hardest bosses/TLB in shmups? (or the most infamous for their difficulty) I already know about few like: Inbachi, DOOM, Zatsuza. There are a lot hardest bosses lists for other games/genres but it`s hard to find something like that for shmups
@ShmupJunkie Жыл бұрын
I did think about it yes. If I ever did it, I would need to involve a lot of players much better at the games than me. Because I'm certainly not good enough to reach those bosses and beat them lol. Or most of them anyway. It would be a fun collaboration with super players though if I ever do.

Mushihimesama Futari (I hope I spelled that right) is definitely one of the better shmups on Xbox 360. I showed this to my friend sitting next to me while I played and he was pretty impressed I managed to get to stage 4 on normal. He is not a shmup player and I’m an average one. I’m not a god at shmups but I still really enjoy them. The only bullet hell I’ve actually beaten on normal is Dodonpachi resurrection on my phone
@ShmupJunkie3 жыл бұрын
Yeah Futari is actually very reasonable on normal up until Stage 3 where it really ramps up. I'm sure you've used the training mode before just to play stage 5 and have some fun with it. The whole level and music is simply brilliant. I've yet to play any of the Cave mobile games but I heard some are actually pretty fun for when you are out and about.

What I like about Futari is the variety it has, it has something for every skill level. Best example is BL Original, while it is very easy for Survival and very beginner friendly, it can be really tough if you want to score it. Why make it so complex with Xenia and cheat engine, when you can just disable the counterstop? Easy What Reco and Palm says when they die, is the name of the other character Reco: "Palm!" Palm: "Reco-chan!" And yes, you can turn off the voice My experience with PS was, I had no idea what am I supposed to do and whats going on, but I like the mechanic and has good music. Havent played Catsui that much, but I like the aggressive play style and the overall aesthetic(Same as in SDOJ with the strong colours) of it. (And yes, get the PS4 port for it)
@ShmupJunkie3 жыл бұрын
Where can I turn off the voice! Damn that would’ve been handy 😂. Now I know at least. I love Futari though it’s my fav for sure. Does the Xbox360 port have a way to disable the counter stop? I didn’t even know that existed since I’d never score that high myself and learned it when Mark talked about it. He plays the arcade versions so I’m guessing that Xenia cheat would be the only way on it.
@LinieEber3 жыл бұрын
@@ShmupJunkie You can turn it off in the Sound Options of the game. First, doubt most people will ever do a counterstop of 1.5 Ultra. Most are happy when they can even get through that hell. And what Mark said, the only way to see the actual score is to export the Replay from your Xbox over to an usb and then import it on Xenia etc. You still need a rgh Xbox for that tho, you cant do that on a regular one. About the counterstopless Futari, which still is being tested, is a moded file you replace with another one in the game that removes the counterstop and you dont have to do that long process anymore.

I haven't 1cc'd any of these games really so I can't talk, I need a continue or two usually to get through them as I don't have enough practice. It definitely doesn't feel as hard as these games do, but it certainly isn't easy. Kind of like Deathsmiles wonderful game but not as brutal as some of these.

Believe it or not the 360, at least in the US, was terrible for shmups. With only a total of 5 I think ever released. Pretty sad. Only in Japan did they get all the great Cave ports released and I’m sure the serious players used an arcade stick anyway to play Cave games. Which is unfortunate as the Xbox was so unpopular in Japan in terms of sales that it was really for the niche shmup crowd. Great for all the arcade players wanting these awesome m2 ports but not well performing in terms of overall sales. I think we are now enjoying those great m2 ports so much more than they were initially at the time, so they’ve all had a second lease on life.

Black label mode on futari is my fave :) I think its easier then the 1.5 mode because you can cancel more. Download it !!!

I think the reason I haven't tried black label yet is my X360 is modded, so I can't go online to download with it. So my ver of Futari was never updated. Maybe the rom patch is available some other way I can find. It sounds like it would be a good middle ground. Arrange is fun but pretty darn easy you are super powerful. So black label does sound worth trying if I can get it somehow.

I've got ketsui and black label for the igs pgm. Hard. But incredible...

Man an igs pgm. I don’t hear that mentioned often. I know it but never actually seen or played one in person. I just know it’s similar to the MVS setup or so I thought. Ketsui really is fun I prefer it to all the DDP games personally. It fits more my play style anyway. It’s so good.

@@ShmupJunkie you know that those cave games were made on pcbs that are based on the igs pgm. On ebay you can find converted pgm carts rewritten with ketsui/ddp ext. If you have the desire to play them on original hardware it is identical (also zero lag) and you have a supergun I'll send you a spare igs pgm motherboard. Also the neo Geo cd pad is plug and play with a supergun and believe me it's a perfect pad to play cave.

@@fictionsgamepad3497 That’s really good info thanks for that. Sounds like my MVS which I use with a supergun hooked to my crt. Playing those games like the original pcb is very tempting especially Ketsui!

Well. If you get tempted. Just let me know I'll ship you my spare pgm.( For nothing of course)

@@fictionsgamepad3497 dude you know I’d totally set it up and load Ketsui on there among others. I’d be grateful and insist on at least covering shipping. Maybe it’s something I could even cover in a video as I’ll bet many don’t know about it.
