@@el3m764 thanks! To answer your question the Overpower mode is pretty much twinstick only, your ship’s option is fully controlled by the right stick, so no Arcade Stick on this one (I really missed mine while I was playing this mode haha). It’s a fun clear (well, if you’re not trying to trigger the tlb at least 😅). Good luck with it 🤘

@@Shmuptopia thanks for watching Dace. This was me kinda playing through it lots rather than specific practicing and routing if that makes sense. I felt I’d be able to dodge patterns just enough (with the stage 4 extend) to scrape through and just managed it 😅 I had one eye on working on Original really so I didn’t go too deep with learning, I figure I’ve got that to come & I’m looking forward to getting started! Rank on top of more difficult patterns is gonna be crazy (luckily I’ve got your guides to reference when needed!).

Interestingly enough, I was actually considering deleting my guides about a month or so ago. There are a few reasons for this, one of which is because I've drastically improved various sections (and everything in general) which has resulted in harnessing the mechanics to a far greater degree and far less resources are used now. While some sections would look similar, the approach is definitely different and more aggressive. This is for Expert mode, but the same would apply were I to go back to OG. In any event, all the best with your journey in RG! @scowsh

@@VinuShmup Merci mon ami! Merci aussi pour tes superbes vidéos - tellement inspirantes 🤘

Congrats 🙌

@@johngavalas712 I enjoyed it in short bursts, the rng over rescuing the npcs is a bit annoying & hitbox/bullet dodging seems kinda off at times. The rookie playthrough was fun but didn’t have any real bite. This was pushing my ps4 pro loads - on the last few levels the big explosions were making it sound like a washing machine 😅 I guess it’d melt the switch 😂

@@scowsh well damn i have a switch lite it'd probably disintegrate in my hands 😂

@@scowsh if you have a Nintendo Switch are you familiar with Dodonpachi SaiDaiOuJou releasing on the eShop worldwide?

@ yeah, I got the jp eShop version last week. Arcade mode kicking my butt (novice mode is tough too!)

@@scowsh yes but it's so damn good!

@@LordShmup thanks! I’m all good (are you asking because I’ve played these games? 😅 Don’t worry I’ve not lost the plot from too many shmups just yet haha) Hope you’re good too 🤘

@@blazinglazers69 thanks, it was a fun one 🤘

@@remembershooting2064 thank you, I’m not sure what I’ll be getting into just yet, but I’m considering: SDOJ, Batsugun (no auto fire), Rolling Gunner, Blue Revolver Parallel, Raystorm, MMP, Batrider and Gunvein. I also have unfinished business with Gunbird 2 & Raiden… then again I might end up playing none of those 😅 See what feels good to play.

@@Shmuptopia thanks Dace, felt like I made some progress for sure 🙌

@@johngavalas712 yeah, there’s so many great shmups but these are right up there with the best of them

@@psymagearcade cheers, yeah it’s been a blast 🕹️💥

It’d be cool to have for sure

@@thisrg7054 thanks, yeah pretty straightforward (aside from the last boss - found that last pattern really tricky!!)

@scowsh The last pattern iirc has 2 variations to it. So you can memorize it all the way through and always be prepared for it.

@@SpidersSTG Terrarin’s games are always a fun blast. I think their previous games have been challenging in terms of achieving the expert 1cc, but this game seems to have removed that a bit as an option by splitting the levels & not having a dedicated Arcade playthrough option. I feel in doing this Terrarin is encouraging players to really delve deep into each stage & score more, using the difficultly that that challenge brings, rather than making the game too challenging in terms of survival. I like that it changes it up in this way - such a small change but really gets the player thinking. That said I might just try & get a 1cc playthrough together 😂

@@palm1945 did that last year: th-cam.com/video/vE3U03CXpFw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ymfXgXlYvRQo5Snw

Yeah, it took me a while to get thru this one (apologies for the super late reply - only just seen this!)

Cheers! I’m guessing you’ve probably routed (and maybe 1cc’d) with Exy by now 😅 Hope it went well (apologies for the super super late reply - don’t know how I missed this!)

@@scowsh lol yea I have but only with B-S so far. I did it on my Astro few weeks back whilst streaming. Bloody tricky clear that one!

GGs! yeah, it's a fun yet creepy blast for sure!

@@Shmuptopia cheers Dace! An absolute blast of a game, just a shame about kinda limited practice options - made it much more difficult to get the clear! It does so much right though & is really fun to play. Interested to see if you get on with it.

@@SpidersSTG cheers! It is the shins in, I went back to the factory grommet - the 45 was just too tight, especially for this game! I like how free the og grommet is but I’ve just ordered a couple more to try out (of course 😅)

@ Sick! Glad you dig it. 45 seems like you have to take your bad day out on a joystick lol

@@Carina_d3a thanks - love the killer ost, kept me coming back run after run 🤘

@@ENO-STG-77 thanks 🙌

Cheers, yeah the resources you get with B-S take the pressure off massively

@@palm1945 thanks 🙌

@@SpidersSTG cheers dude, my switch clear was much more clinical I’d say - I’d spent a good few months at it & knew exactly what I wanted to do. This clear is trying to recapture some of that magic, failing, therefore flailing around and getting lucky made it happen (just as planned…..)

Thanks mutmut! It was so close haha Lots of peeps turned up in chat during that last stage which gave a big energy boost for extra dodging power 😆

@@scowsh Awesome. Also Garegga, DOJ and Rade in less than a month ! What have you been drinking ??

@@mutmut02_ haha it’s the promise of a strongbow that’s keeping me going 🍺

@@scowsh

@@ENO-STG-77 thanks for listening & really appreciate the positive comment 🙌

@@danny.ray101 games have kinda taken over tbh haha

@@Viygas haha thanks, yeah I went back and scraped it again - contemplating death ball would have been on the cards if I hadn’t 😝

@@letsblocking cheers dude, all the shmup stars aligned for that bit of the run 😂 I played a few credits at Arcade Club recently, and cleared Premium Mode maybe two years back, but I started trying for the 1cc at the end of August. I think this strategy makes stages 1-5 super straightforward, although I think trying for medals for a while first helped me a bit. I could easily have missed this boss and have been trying still to clear tbh - I’d done quite a bit in practice but I know it could’ve been very different at the end! You’ll manage it in no time, you just gotta figure out the right strat for you - I will say practicing this game was kinda tricky, especially early on. But it does kinda click when you get your strat together. Good luck dude, may the shmup stars align for you too 🤘

@@scowsh Thank you! I don't mind investing the time, even if it takes a while. The complexity makes it difficult to tell if it's within my skill level or not. I should have more time to invest in it from November onwards and will try my best!

@@CAVEDATA thanks 🙌

@@jermanator181 thank you so much! I wish I could bottle up the way I played at the last boss 😂 The great thing about the low rank strat is that it frees up your mind, you’re not worried about the options or medals and as such you don’t punish yourself constantly for missing them (which I was doing when trying that strat). That effectively ruined my mental game so I’d go into the harder sections with a more negative attitude (& higher rank 😂). Losing all that freed me, knowing I could consistently get to stage 6 & have fun doing so meant the pressure wasn’t on at all. I could do runs like that all day, then roll the dice on stage 6&7. I just got lucky that the dice fell in my favour pretty early on 🍀

@@Chinopolis sometimes fortune just favours a run. I think this was that run for me haha I’m watching it back now not really believing that stage 7 happened as it did. I heard that life pop then thought ‘oh I’ll try dodging the wonder now…’ - why?!? 😂 Not having a backlog of heartbreak baggage helped with glow squid, I just went for it pretty much.

@@hazylevels thanks for taking a look. I don’t think I’ve seen a more fortunate clear 😅 I used your vid for a bit, but miyamoto and medalling didn’t click like no options & golden bat did, but I had fun trying 🙌

@@scowsh That's the magic of Garegga, there's no one correct approach to clearing the game!

@@VinuShmup i can’t quite believe it either haha It’s all I’ve been thinking (& dreaming) about recently but to get a clutch clear like this is kinda unbelievable 😅 Saved myself some anguish for sure, thought I’d be having fun after run at Blackheart 2, nevermind Glow Squid! I’ll take it though - very happy with my dodging today 🥳

@@Undermog cheers BB! Release yourself from the medals, the chain is a construct designed to hold you back 😂 All jokes aside, the no medals, no options till stage 5 boss just frees up so much, so you can focus on dodging and consistency. I’ve made it to stage 6 regularly in the last few practice sessions, then after grinding stage 6 a bunch yesterday the clear just fell rather cheekily in my lap 😅 The fufuchicken route is op in my opinion 🤘

I really don't get it🏅 I don't get to stage 7

Thanks mutmut 🤘 Can’t believe I clutched through glow squid like that 😅

@@scowsh That's really cool man. Sometimes it just clicks !!

@@Shmuptopia cheers Dace, yeah it’s great - loads more fun on normal too (but I wasn’t gonna clear on that before my hols and I NEEDED a clear haha). Very compelling gameplay, secrets and scoring - really is a killer game!
