You know how people speedrun, get a WR, then that WR is beaten in most cases weeks or even days later..... This guy is still #1 on the PC leader board for this game in 2021.

man the ending is so emotional even though this game barely has any plot. and the writing in those screen messages is so good and also emotional. there is something beautiful in the archetype of self-sacrifice.
@@technicolormischief-maker5683 If your emotions are unwarranted to the extreme and render you a pathetic, pitiful sad sack candyass douche, then no, it is anything but childish to seek to help that person by encouraging them to put such emotions away and...grow a pair.
Crazy stuff, keeping the chain going through all the chaos is something I've been trying to improve at, and the way you've got the route you take to do it is very insightful.
Well played. The challenge of this game really irritated me once I got to stage 3 I believe it is. Watching this video, I see it's possible to do but the level of concentration and anticipation is very demanding. I get somewhat mesmerized and confused once the screen gets layered with both white and black polarity shots, resulting in my death of course.
Great shmups like this one teach something very important even to players like you and I who can't beat them without continues. They teach something very important to players of any skills.
Man, I've always been a fan of this kind of shooters. I came here looking for a way to beat a boss, but instead found all the op strats. Damn, how can you change polarity so smoothly? I am fast enough in other games, but this one always find ways to snipe me. I know this run is old, but it is still really awesome
one of the few games I regretted selling on Ebay a few years back :( I loved this game but never could get A status passed stage 3 :D The soundtrack just pumps me up!
Very nice! My proudest achievement was a one coin clear of this game, and I love how you're using Kagari! Most prefer Ikaruga but I had an easier time seeing Kagari's ship for some reason
I've just managed to clear Ikaruga on hard and scored 30m. Then I watch this video and realise that 35m is possible. Damn. GG to you, I am never going to get anywhere near your score.
This is amazing and i love it. Only thing i don't understand,maybe someone could explain, why does he destroy them in pairs? As in he delibirately shoots down only 3 whited, then 3 blacks. Why so specific?
He's chaining them 3 in a row to maximize his score. It's the "proper" way to play Ikaruga. Some would argue that its too strict and linear. It's why some people say its more like an execution heavy puzzle game. Personally I see both sides but I enjoy it.
The name of his fame is COMBOS!!!!! If he matches the colors, in this case black and white, especially in polarity, his combo points increases. It's hard, especially in a game like this and Radiant Silvergun, for I have played both a good number of times. It takes sheer concentration to do what he's doing. And with dat said, CAN DO PLEASE DO ONE FOR RADIANT? Would love to see you perform the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, this game is so so crazy... I always loved shmups, but this little beast will always be on another level... I can barrely make it through on normal, but this guy, right here, and all the others before him, is/are just monsters!!!!!! ;-p And I have no words for those who make it dual play with both hands, THAT my friend, was/is pure madness!!!! :-D
That's insane... I played this game a long time ago... And I was still thinking about, because I wasn't able to pass the second level. Therefore, I decided to take my "revenge" and I bought the game on steam... Damn, I'm just able to go to the boss of the level 2 for now. Therefore, I need to keep playing, and I felt like I was blocked so I was looking for some clues... Damn Sa Suisai plays so well... I'm asking myself if I would be able to finish this game... I guess I should try and give myself a challenge. Finish this game in normal mode is a really accomplishment. For real.
Its been ported to several different consoles. It was originally released as an arcade game in japan but was eventually ported to PC, the Sega Dreamcast, the Nintendo Gamecube, the Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Switch

It's like watching Michelangelo paint
Exactly!!!
Perfect commentary
The precise movements and placements, and the ability to memorize all the patterns is very impressive.
When you watch you enjoy yourself
When you play you destroy yourself
What a game
Lol! So true.

Somebody finally managed to get 36M on October 6th 2023, usurping this run.

CHOOSING to kill the final boss at the last second to max out score? Insane.
Just the amount of patience and determination it must have taken to conquer such a game... You’re truly a legend in my eyes, sir
This is video game poetry.

Grow a pair
The game actually has a plot but it doesnt talk about it. google the plot
@@jackburton2680 You grow a pair. Trying to take a person’s emotions away from them is deeply childish

Okay, and?
This is one of the most impressive video game tapestry ever crafted. This should go into the high museum of art!!!!!!!
People who think Dark Souls is a difficult game/saga clearly haven't played any truly hard game like Ikaruga.
The police were baffled too. Apparently the person went postal upon hearing his friend utter the phrase 'Energy Max'. More news at 7.
This guy doesnt need an umbrella, he ll just evade all raindrops while not stepping in pavement lines
Crazy stuff, keeping the chain going through all the chaos is something I've been trying to improve at, and the way you've got the route you take to do it is very insightful.
Man i can't even max chain the first stage! I doff my cap to you Sir, incredible watch!
This must have taken so many hours to master. Idk if there's a tougher challenge in all of gaming. Beautiful.
Dodonpachi!! That arcade shooter is mega, unbelievably hard as hell!!
@@virtualpellot933this is harder than DDP for chaining alone.

Thanks for summing up a shmup game.
Choose your prize.

Coming back to this I'm still in awe of the one-person ballet that is this playthrough. Inspiring doesn't even begin to cover it.

Amazing !!! Such a hard game .. .I salute you
oh god ._. my respect bro, you're a really PRO gamer ._. like it's all i can do
*sa suisai gameplay.

I love how how atmospheric the game is with how the background is moving and all that.
This guy is the Leonardo Da Vinci of Ikaruga!
I can't even make it pass the second boss TwT
Same, I fucking suck at this game...
Incredible. Congratulations.

Mate i forgot how much i needed this game. Liked and subbed ya. GaZ
thanks
Dude you're amazing, I still have my unfinished save on a dreamcast vmu
20:00 Practice level complete!
Art.
Amazing platrhrough for an amazing game with an amazing soundtrack!
Holy shit a pro I was able to get to the last boss with no deaths but you just blew everything out wow!
the first video that i found no dislike.. my gooosshhh..
8 now. They probably used up all their credits before they even get to the first boss.
I got to 12:10 today with 6 x continues. On EASY MODE. I was pretty chuffed
So satisfying to hear “Energy Max!”
God himself cannot play this well.

This guy is a GOD :O
A fucking chain counter?
Dreamcast: Hold my beer.
IkaruGa,, the best GaMe EveR, WorldWide,, 🌏 👌👌👌👌
Holy f*** men how long you play that game?? To be like this?
the level of skills here is insane

Now this is the real story about the death of technology
It's impossible to believe.
LOL, this game is so so crazy...

And I have no words for those who make it dual play with both hands, THAT my friend, was/is pure madness!!!! :-D
If this is not TAS, then you just earned the Title of Ultra Instinct!
Is not a TAS is a real gameplay bro
Awesome, wish I had gotten that good, I was only able to pull off no death in chapters 1 and during the last 2 phases of the final boss
I'd love to see the same player do this on the HD version.
Do you go outside with an umbrella when it rains or do you just dodge everything?
That's insane... I played this game a long time ago... And I was still thinking about, because I wasn't able to pass the second level.

Was this tool assisted ot free play?
So beautiful
How many calories did you burn for this?
Haha I've beat battletoads but this game.. I will never reach your level. I know my limit and aptitude. Hats off great playthrough.
This game was damn hard , that’s a crazy run
I can only pray I remember to watch this video after the next time I take acid. This is beautiful.
Ginkei (2P Machine Name) is MY Handle-Name 👍️👍️👍️
He is The One.
Very nice
you are the king of world
Some people have bullet time abilities..
What does the robot voice always say? "Excellence"?
I think it's saying "Energy Max" like at the bottom right
It also says 1-10 Chain and after 10 chain, it keeps saying Max Chain
I got a C+ once. Just once. This shit is insane
pro touhou players ain't got nothing on this guy
I dont know if even deep blue or any futur AI will ever beat that score.
Noice!!
Impressive
Is he human?
yes 100%
dear god
You Are A Fucking GOD!!!!

What console?

@@TheFoxVampire They don't like Playstations, or maybe Playstations don't like them 😁.
@@ikarugaxx3749 It is on PS4.
My best guess is since the Time Stamp is 7 years ago and since the graphics are pretty crisp for 480p, it would be on Nintendo Gamecube.
Noob....LOL.... I wish I had a fraction of this person's skill at this game.
Oh my god
Lmao my limit is Chapter 4 in easy mode with 5x lifes.
Not bad
What

Fuck?!

BRUH ?
Absolutely amazing. I've played this game to hell and back and i couldn't hope to reach this level.
Hate this game with a passion
