i was just playin... if you guys run into any problems, try watching the fuck awesome replays from challenge mode. there's a bunch of japanese players who rock each level without getting hit.

oh cool, I really enjoyed that feature in Ikaruga, helped me out hugely with the bosses, glad Omega V has the same feature!

How much are they? I really need one for VF5.

drohne · « **Reply #69 on:** January 22, 2008, 03:48:38 PM »

~$30. but what you need for vf5 is a STICK

Beezy · « **Reply #70 on:** January 22, 2008, 03:57:45 PM »

I've never been that great at fighters, so there's no reason for me to spend so much money on an arcade stick. I just need something with a good d-pad that actually does what I tell it to.

drohne · « **Reply #75 on:** January 22, 2008, 09:45:34 PM »

GOT MY HORI PAD, which i'm much more comfortable with. i just got to the 3rd boss with a lot of life left...and then got really confused and died in about ten seconds. i really have no idea what's going on there...it's just falling debris and giant buzzsaws and wtf. i'm not continuing at all, so i think it might take me a while to figure that shit out

1cc'd with ruby

...but i had a really messy game in terms of chains and bonuses, and my score's over a million points short of hyp's :'(

awesome game, though -- very reminiscent of gradius v. and i can see myself putting a bunch of time into scoring and learning the other characters

What's your gamertag? I wanna see if you beat my score. I'm also about a million short of hyp's, but I got that much without beating the third level boss. I can't figure out how to beat it without using the bombs. Too much shit is falling and I can't dodge them all while Booby's secondary weapon is attached to the boss. I'll probably be able to take enough hits without dying if I get up to the boss with full energy.

Anyone here ever 1cc Ikaruga? I think the best I ever pulled off on Normal was 2 continues.

drohne · « **Reply #81 on:** January 23, 2008, 03:28:42 PM »

my gamertag is 'drohne'

the third boss is actually pretty easy once you work out the pattern -- if you're having trouble with that spinny form, you just need to make sure you cross to the bottom half of the screen

tiesto · « **Reply #82 on:** January 23, 2008, 04:12:43 PM »

The only shooter I've ever 1cced was Gradius 1 on PSP. For being one of my favorite genres in all of gamedom, I am not that great at them

Was about to 1cc Blazing Lazers on my Duo, but the last level suddenly ramped up insanely in difficulty, I died once, lost all my weapons and was stuck in a loop where it was nearly impossible to power up again... eventually lost all my lives at that part and never even got to finish the game

drohne · « **Reply #83 on:** January 24, 2008, 03:11:29 AM »

damn:

a. i've started playing with the intention to score, and it's much deeper than i suspected -- i think it must be possible to keep a chain going through the whole of level 1, though there are a few spots i haven't figured out. and by extension, i bet it's possible to keep a chain going through the whole game, bosses excepted

b. arcade++ mode is where it's at as far as scoring goes. i just scored 4.5 mil, and i only got as far as the beginning of stage 2. it can be frustrating since one hit kills you, but it replaces the 10x multiplier with a 30x multiplier. and actually the game is a lot more exciting without that big cushy margin for error.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #84 on:** January 24, 2008, 03:13:47 AM »

Man, I need to get better at this game. I haven't gotten up the Stage 3 boss yet.

I hurt my hand while trying to do this earlier today. It is possible, but I'm too anxious to destroy everything as soon as they appear on screen. I managed to chain all of the first half and on another try I managed to chain all of the second half, but I can't chain them together.

I'm not even gonna attempt this with the second level.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #86 on:** January 24, 2008, 03:59:36 AM »

I managed to get over a million on the first level. That good?

Beezy · « **Reply #87 on:** January 24, 2008, 04:02:54 AM »

1.5 mil or bust. I managed to get 1.6.

what is ruby's anchor useful for outside of destroying some bullets and locking on yer fire?

drohne · « **Reply #97 on:** January 24, 2008, 05:16:39 PM »

it also does some extra damage. and with those midbosses on level 3, you can keep the anchor locked onto their weakpoints and doing damage even when they've rotated away from your fire -- makes them go down much quicker.

Wow, stage 4 bucked my futt in no time flat.

I can get through stage 1 and 2 without dying. I can get through stage 3 without dying most of the time, but I can't beat the boss without dying. My first go at stage 4 didn't go too smoothly.

I should be at 8 credits soon lol

edit: Oh sweet I just got them, I will definitely beat the game on my next go (Ruby)

What's the best gun for the third boss? I was using Tybe B and it was pretty hard to shoot his little asshole and get through the debris as well, especially when he's on the bottom.

hyp · « **Reply #109 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:46:44 PM »

if you're using ruby, i say go with type A - level 3 for the third boss. it's got greater firepower and the spread is decent.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #110 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:51:28 PM »

When the anus is on the bottom of the screen, do you switch between shooting it and the junk falling down, or just do your best to dodge the junk while continually shooting it?

Wooo, my credits just got extended to 5. I'll be able to beat the game finally! Although, I would've been able to beat this with 2 credits soon enough.

It took me until I got unlimited continues in Ikaruga to beat that game.

And that was like after 8 hours of play. Apparently, I've only played this for 60 minutes.
