This was pretty much the most major inspiration for the shmup sections in NieR:Automata, as well as the general syncing musical mood to gameplay that is super prevalent in that game too. I swore I felt like I was watching NieR:Automata on steroids pretty much the entire time lol, and yep, Ikaruga is one of Yoko Taro's bigger inspirations!
22:02 In-Game Version: Shinra: Is This What We Wished For? Kagari: Don't Worry. We'll Understand Each Other Someday. And The Life Has Succeeded Into The Distant Future.

Man body: "Don’t worry... for sure, the day will come when we [humans] understand each other" Woman body: "Because life will be passed on… to the distant future...”
21:36 Release the restraint device. Using the released power may result in posibility of destruction of the ship. Was I helpful for you? I'm deeply grateful to you...
@@WilliamEly The creators of Ikaruga and Guardian Silver Gun always have their sad endings, but if you look closely, at 21:53 there are 2 ejection capsules.
They should've done a special ending /True ending for 2-players, like wouldn't it make sense for 2 planes to do alot of damage than 1 that goes all out dying in the process? Since you can essentially control both ships on one controller (Ps4 version as far as I know) it would've been a nice reward
I think it WAS one of the last games to come out for the Dreamcast before the console's end of production, though not necessarily the last EVER. Under Defeat, another shoot 'em up game for the Dreamcast, came out in 2006 after being released in arcades the year before, and touted itself as being "the last Dreamcast game" at the time, though apparently two more games for the console came out the year after. You could argue that, with the small groups of Dreamcast homebrew game developers spread throughout the world, as well as fanmade ports of games originally released on the Sega Atomiswave arcade system like Dolphin Blue and Metal Slug 6, it's still technically getting games!
My best is 1 coin clearing the game on normal and A ranking all the levels. I got all the achievements on the 360 port of the game but I just don't have the dedication or time to practice to get the S++ ranking achievements that are on the Steam version of this game. It's a really great shmup though and I played the hell out of this when it was on the Gamecube during my high school years. I haven't touched this game in a long time though so I"d have to practice if I wanted to "get good" again.
Additionally, the hitbox for absorbing your color is MUCH larger than the hitbox for actually being hit by the other color, thus who the two players were able to graze streams of bullets and have their partner absorb them afterwards from behind Absorbing bullets fills the meter which gives the homing lasers Killing three enemies in a row of the same color gives a Chain Bonus for points And you do significantly higher damage shooting targets with the opposite polarity

This might be the most beautiful TAS I've ever seen.
What about Family Feud for the SNES
Took the words out of my mouth! That controlled chaos was a sight to behold.

"2-player" TAS runs are always a sight to behold. Especially with _this_ game and its mechanics!
00:00 Intro
00:46 Stage 1

20:22 Final Time
22:02 Ending
Just finishing this game without continuing or dying is a feat in itself. This is on a whole 'nother level of awesome.
this game is ungodly hard and this TAS makes it seem easy, love it
more than 20 years ago, ikaruga is still the best one of this genre
22:02
In-Game Version:
Shinra: Is This What We Wished For?
Kagari: Don't Worry. We'll Understand Each Other Someday.
And The Life Has Succeeded Into The Distant Future.
Story Version:
Shinra: "Was that… the right thing to do?"
Man body: "Don’t worry... for sure, the day will come when we [humans] understand each other"
Woman body: "Because life will be passed on… to the distant future...”
Final boss's phase 3 was amazing
Oh man I ddin't realize anyone had made a TAS of this, excited to watch.
I have been searching for this game for ages, really cool game
I want a Silvergun TAS someday
wow...this is a some kind of art.
21:36 Release the restraint device.
Using the released power may result in posibility of destruction of the ship.
Was I helpful for you? I'm deeply grateful to you...
Man hasta yo me preguntaba porque las naves se destrulleron al final asi eso dice
2:42 This theme is awesome!
this is what true love looks like
Beautiful.
Jesus moment at the end of the game baby
I like the part where the ship shot the bullets.
I like the part there the bullets were shot at the ships.
@@danielkozak1652 that was a good part too
Gotta be more specific cause it happens at least twice.
@@fatkart7641 The one near the beginning.
@goggles789 Between 0:34 and 19:57. Pay close attention to the ship shooting bullets (the flying one).
Everything was going perfect until in the end the 2 ships heroically exploded.
It always bothered me that the ship is destroyed before the last shot hits the boss. The player dies without knowing the outcome of the battle.
@@WilliamEly The creators of Ikaruga and Guardian Silver Gun always have their sad endings, but if you look closely, at 21:53 there are 2 ejection capsules.
Increíble... 🤯
i never realized just how closely treasure made gradius 5 look to this. makes me wonder if they reused assets.
Around the 16 min mark I started hearing "Lets go!" instead of "Max Chain"
They should've done a special ending /True ending for 2-players, like wouldn't it make sense for 2 planes to do alot of damage than 1 that goes all out dying in the process? Since you can essentially control both ships on one controller (Ps4 version as far as I know) it would've been a nice reward
Fun fact: This TAS has the longest description
Very cool.
This is the version where they didn't bother to translate the story text between stages.
Wasn't this like one of the last DC games to be released?

You sure know how to move a man's heart
SPOILERS:
Who's watching this after fighting The End in Sonic Frontiers?
Never played this but from what I understand, when you get hit by a bullet, you absorb it and become stronger? So how can you die?!
There's a polarity-switching mechanic: when your ship is white you can absorb white bullets, and when your ship is black it absorbs black bullets.
Ah, it makes more sense. I noticed the black and white colors but I thought it had something to do with P1 and P2. Thanks.
@@fatkart7641 No problem!
Additionally, the hitbox for absorbing your color is MUCH larger than the hitbox for actually being hit by the other color, thus who the two players were able to graze streams of bullets and have their partner absorb them afterwards from behind
Absorbing bullets fills the meter which gives the homing lasers
Killing three enemies in a row of the same color gives a Chain Bonus for points
And you do significantly higher damage shooting targets with the opposite polarity
Max Chain
Why this game has the same effects as Gradius V?
the developer of both games was Treasure and as such, must have used a lot of the same sound/visual samples.
I'm saying the visual effects...
@@deathblowringo4168 because they were both made by the same developer dumbass
unhuman
This game is impossible. Have it on gcn. 2 player is even worse.
