There are many of us who yearn for Cave 2-ALLs (or other clears, like Takumi/Psikyo games for me!) without having the chops for world record scores. Vids like this encourage me! It's great to sit down and listen to your rationale/strats. You are right; the bomb meta-game psychology is real, and it's a killer. I have a hard time coping with restart syndrome, so it's encouraging to hear about your playing out the runs to reduce nerves. Good advice!

As someone who is also into hard grindy stuff(primarly IWBTG bullet-hell fangames), I'm astonished by your dedication. The amount of effort you put into clearing this is truly impressive. GG

I'm so glad all your hard work paid off. It's an incredible achievement, to be sure.

I love to play shmups but I suck at them, so I just play them to survive and get the 1cc. I Recently got A 2-all on Dodonpachi Resurrection (novice), its nothing to brag about but I had fun doing it.

It's amazing to me that people can get so good at DDP, I am terrible at this series in particular I can see how it would take a year of practice to get as good as you are. Stuff like Batsugun and the Twin cobra/tiger series eventually "clicked" with me and I went from survival to focusing on scoring, I've at least gotten pretty good at those and Mushihime was a fun 1CC. Keep it up with the cave games you'll get even better I'm sure.

Thanks for the commentary, the way you communicate a real passion for the game and the shmup genre make me want to grind the hell out of the game in my shmup library :D I really feel you for the end commentary about the meaningfulness of this kind of grind, playing alone, being obsessed by the game, that's a vast question but you just got to keep a healthy relationship with the game. The last 30s of the run were really clutch well played.

Great stuff. Funny hearing what you say about bombing. All too often we hold onto bombs even when playing for survival - it's one of my biggest mental hurdles. :) Insane dodging at the last section though.

Oh man! i 've been playing this game for the last 10 years ! and still i could not have my first 1cc yet. im a frustrated person because of that heheh. the games i could pull off a 1cc on was Battle Bakraid , DDP DFK and Mushi Furari Black label in long 5 years. I love so much this genre more than any other in gaming. but ive swear, before i die ill make at least a 1cc for DDP. Very nice and inspiring video. Keep up this work of God.

Now I'll be honest (and you can make fun of me, I don't care), I really had a bad experience with this bullet hell genre. My first played one was Touhou 6; I died a lot of times, wasn't even able to beat in normal difficulty, played it for around 6 months (that was 2016), watched these people beating the game like it was nothing, read some forums (not going to give names) about people saying you simply need to "git gud" and stuff... no success. I started to think something was wrong with me. That went to the point I visiting a psychologist to see whether I had, maybe, lack of attention limitation or not - turned out I don't - however I really started to even fear the genre. Around 2 years later, I've decided to give Touhou 7 a try, the results were basically the same as before and, at that time, I didn't get why people say this one was more forgiven. I dropped from that series and begin to search about another... I've found Donpachi (PS1). Again, I was still really bad in, but I think it was the first time I have had some fun with. Nevertheless, it didn't last for too long and I completely dropped the genre. Years later, then, I find your channel and watched that "How to bullet hell" series when you talked about your struggle and experience; not going to lie, that was extremely comforting to me, since finally, thinking to myself, I've found a real human being in this bullet rain. I am so grateful to find your content I'm thinking about giving the genre a try again, now that I understand these games can take quite a while to beat and could take a big effort. Thank you, bro!

Exactly. people talk about how things are easy and i struggle, btw stage 3 of DDP is not easy to no miss. lately i've been doing save states and focused stage and boss practice, grinding hard on small portions of the hardest parts of games playing 100's and probably 1000's of times. i'm improving, still struggling. i found that practicing while listening to a podcast or audiobook and just playing the same part over and over helps me, try not to get frustrated, just get in the zone and play over and over. i'm grinding touhou7 on easy and still cant 1cc yet..

I want to do a 2 All too! While i'm on good track, i don't completely understand the requirements for unlocking the second loop? Maybe I'm restricting myself too much? By the way, actually the hardest part for me is remembering where to get those goddamn bees.

15:08 those moments you just need a good rest from the grind, let the body process all of that exp and grind you put in, the improvements are pretty noticeable afterwards. Also being in burnout makes you play worse for sure, you stop paying attention to the details of what makes the run consistent.

I decided to get into shmups and found your channel as a result of trying to find the best games to play. Loving it so far, getting alright at them. Got about 6 or 7 games on the go to try and learn some fundamentals. How do you approach a game once you set your sights on one you want to go further with? So far I have decided I am going to try to get good at Crimzon Clover. Should I just go through all the difficulties knocking off 1ccs and then go back around for score?

You swear a lot. I like that.

If you guys never played this game, I implore you to do so. It is incredible! It looks hard, and it does get hard, but trust me when I tell you that the first two levels, maybe even 3, are not as hard as you think. Just keep holding down that shoot button and that laser will take care of enemies, and it's very satisfying to destroy the enemies in masses.

When you were practicing for your 2-all did you 1cc the second loop first or you just played full runs?

Agreed. Survival Over Scoring, Is What Most SHMUP's Should Have In Reward. People Chasing Over Scoring While Not Learning To Survive, Is Like Going To A Battlefield, And Die, Without Learning To Fire The Gun. 1CC In SHMUP's Aren't Important, Unless You're A Superb Player And You Want A Challenge. ZeroRanger Taught Me That, A Hard Way. And Honest To God, I Treat SHMUP's As A Brain-simulating Puzzle, Which Teaches Me Not Just Survival, But Quick Reflexes, And Accidental Covers, As How You'd Avoid Near-miss Dangers Effectively, And Take Last Minute Decisions Effectively.
