Battle Garegga Survival 1CC, Miyamoto, with annotations

[@miquel9721]

Great video!! I loved the annotations, they are really helpful. I am now planning the 1cc with Miyamoto and your run will definitely be a source of inspiration! Thanks for sharing

Good luck on the Miyamoto run! May be a stark contrast to your snail clears, but once you get comfortable with his speed I think you'll see progress fairly quickly.

Great video.Can't believe how few views i has as yet-derserves way more. I'll be watching this often and the annotations are just great.Just wondering why does the number in the top left of the rankograph more than double suddenly from 28-66?Seen this in another Garegga runthru also but havingtrouble working out why!

[@docviper4236]

Glad you find it useful. To answer your question, that number is the frame rank, the background rate at which rank increases. It goes up a tiny bit as you power up w/ small shot icons or activate special option formations but will jump when you change autofire rate. In this run I meant to change to 15 Hz, which would have given me a frame rank of 44, but instead shifted to 20 Hz, increasing frame rank to 66, meaning rank was climbing 1.5x faster than I had expected/desired.

@@docviper4236 Thanks alot för the Swift reply Helps slot to know that tmnumber is the frame rank..If I may trouble you with one more question, how does the percentage figure relate to the frame rank?just got the game recently and trying to make sense of the rankograph.

[@docviper4236]

@@then1533 The percentage is just another way of displaying rank that the port uses because it's easier to read. Rank is actually an integer that numbers in the millions. Frame rank is given as an integer because it is so small (~0.0002%), but it will build up because it updates every frame at 60 fps. If you are just starting, I would recommend playing at 10 Hz autofire and otherwise not worrying about rank too much while getting a feel for the game and its stages. Good rank% benchmarks are 10-14% by Black Heart 1 and 28-33% by Black Heart 2. As long as you stick to 10 Hz autofire it's pretty hard to catastrophically screw up the rank, and you can shift up to 15 Hz in the late game for dps when you need it. And of course, try to have fun, that's the most important part! If you feel you need more resources, there is a pretty good write-up on the game at shmups.wiki/library/Battle_Garegga

@@docviper4236 Thanks slot for the info.I have not been too bothered about rank at the moment, just enjoying the arcade, but the idea of the algorithm is also fascinating to a nerd like me and I will probably get deeper into it as my play improves.I think the game as a whole is awesome.Cheers for the link.
