A much bigger thanks to you for helping collab on it while also making shmup slam happen at the same time. It really added a lot to the content to have you there in a sub-genre (bullet hell) that I'm still personally learning myself. Slam is looking like a massive success and I was able to pop in a few times too. And you were still able to reach the goal you set live so it all worked out. Sounds like it's been a pretty damn sweet week to me!

16:12 Lol. Actually Palm says "RECO-CHAAAAANNNN!!!" when he got hit. I heard the point of Mushihimesama Futari's story is, as the subtitle says, a journey of two of them together. It's implied that their bond grew stronger as the stage progresses, so the voice clips change by Stage 3. If I recall Reco will say Palm's name when she got hit on Stage 3 and later.

Haha yeah one other person mentioned that too what he was saying. It totally sounds like Tinkle something to me I didn’t get the Reco-Chan at all. It makes sense. I did notice that btw he only yells it starting stage 3 and was wondering what that was about. But I also got a tip the voice can be turned off so now I know for next time I try to practice ultra 🤣. It can get annoying.

Slight correction at 55:35 - the actual condition to get an extend in DOJ WL loop 2 is to either no miss or no bomb the stage. You can spend as many bombs or lives as you want, as long as you don't use consume both in the same stage (or game over). Otherwise, this is an awesome video, love to see more collaborations like this in future!

Thanks for the heads up that’s good to know. I think when he said by not bombing or not dying he meant either or, but I can see how that could be misunderstood as both. I didn’t give it a second thought personally as I have zero chance of either from stage 3 onward haha. Maybe a better chance at getting through a stage not dying by using some bombs every time I got stuck , but pretty much stage 3 onward I’m not good enough to make that happen most times. 😅 My routes aren’t there from not playing enough.. I get into trouble too often. And that’s on loop 1! I can forget about loop 2 lol. Really glad you enjoyed it though I tried to make it fun for both audiences, more casual like myself and Mark’s insight for veteran players. I think even players far better than me, just enjoy seeing games they love represented.

I felt the same way with SDOJ where novice mode felt too easy and the regular arcade mode felt too punishing. For me the solution was to pick the expert mode shot within the novice mode version of the game, it feels like a pretty good middle point and expert mode also has a slightly smaller hitbox so it's a good deal smoother to play. SDOJ's unusually large hitbox for a CAVE shooter is a big part of where its difficulty comes from

Bullet hell was always my weakness too compared to older shmups. I only found myself slowly improving as I play them more and more, but I'm nowhere near the level of the shmup gods playing in shmup slam this weekend. It's one reason I made it a point in the video though to talk about the cool Arrange and training modes in the games that had it, that make them accessible to anyone. I don't like the slower moving bullet hell which turned me off initially, but once I found certain games I liked most that played fast, like Ketsui and the later stages of Futari I got into them more. My goal is to get better at them so it's a work in progress.

Almost an hour? Damn. Never thought the 360 had any Shmups. I thought it was mostly FPS games and stuff. Also I bought that core grapes if you remember, played it beat blazing lasers I thought that was amazing, I never beat a shooter before so that was a first. I also beat r type, that one was a lot harder and I used save states a lot more but it was still good, not sure which one to pick from there, but I’m excited to play another one.

On the DOJ stage select, depending on what button you press to start the game, you either start as powered up or without any power ups (you still cannot define hypers, rank etc. so it doesn't help a lot and good players say it's still useless training mode).

I like Espgaluda II it's a lot of fun, and another really well made port from what I can tell similar to how Mushihimesama Futari is. I haven't 1cc'd any of these games really so I can't talk, I need a continue or two usually to get through them as I don't have enough practice. It definitely doesn't feel as hard as these games do, but it certainly isn't easy. Kind of like Deathsmiles wonderful game but not as brutal as some of these. It's also why I think so many people like it along with the aesthetics... it's more accessible.

What I like about Futari is the variety it has, it has something for every skill level. Best example is BL Original, while it is very easy for Survival and very beginner friendly, it can be really tough if you want to score it. Why make it so complex with Xenia and cheat engine, when you can just disable the counterstop? Easy What Reco and Palm says when they die, is the name of the other character Reco: "Palm!" Palm: "Reco-chan!" And yes, you can turn off the voice My experience with PS was, I had no idea what am I supposed to do and whats going on, but I like the mechanic and has good music.

About the counterstopless Futari, which still is being tested, is a moded file you replace with another one in the game that removes the counterstop and you dont have to do that long process anymore.
