Dodonpachi 2-ALL, 712millions, A-L

This run is a non-tool assisted run by a Japanese player named Devil missionary.
The final score is 712,989,150. Ship A-L, 893 max hit.
This run is not the current world record. However, it is the best non-TAS run for which we have a video.
If you are aware of a replay showing a better score, please indicate it.
I am also interested in a video in higher resolution. This one is the best I could find; and finding this quality was already hard.
The speed of the video might be slighly accelarated (approx. 1%) compared to the real speed of the game. For some reason, the original video was 5% to 6% faster than the real game, and I tried to mitigate that.

My right ear enjoyed listening to this video a lot...

In terms of videos, well. There's a 660m Type A by NAI that was published a while back (Gamest VHS, uploaded nowhere), along with a 630m C-S by NAI (on katsuo504's channel), 603m Type A by LAOS (signs off as KO in the video, on my channel), a 712m self-published C-S video by NAI (self-published on VHS, uploaded nowhere), and a 477m Type B video by LAOS (Gamest VHS, on Toarcade's channel). Besides that there's Prom's 547m video, Erppos clear, and a few others.

[@Feedbacker_stg]

+Sapphire Densetsu There is a 613m C-L on sddkaede channel.

[@SapphireDensetsu]

Ah, right, forgot about that one. Also, coincidentally, a 613m C-L run by RS. on his Nico channel.

[@SapphireDensetsu]

Ah, my apologies. The NAI video is apparently 716m and I may have found several leads for it. Stay tuned.

[@blackistoshmup3364]

great !!!

[@warrenorbe7329]

That chains in Stage 6 loop 1 is beyond impressive. He got more hits than he did in stage 5. Regular players have difficulties maintaining combos in stage 6 loop 1.

Poor Raikou.

[@lucasnassar2778]

How you unstop or keep holding longer the HIT's?

[@RetroRick1990]

Well done my friend 🤩

[@zexalsrevenge511]

Would this game be an example of skillgate? It’s like “you have to be this good to enter” or something like that. I call it that because the second loop isn’t that easy to enter and a better ending is locked behind it. But Double Dragon 2, the godawful remake mind you has an insane requirement to get the best ending which makes getting to some CAVE games’ second loops easy by comparison. I was thinking to myself CAVE was giving casual players the middle finger and telling them “Git gud my friend or no second loop for you!”.

[@sakesaurus]

dodonpachi is fairly as far as CAVE games go, low entry level. You simply don't need to dodge anything to beat Loop 1 you know, game gives you like 30 bombs

[@dogenjoyer]

​@sakesaurus1706 29 bombs specifically

[@AndrewBlechinger]

It's a shining example of the quarter munching, sink or swim world of arcade games. So yes.

[@Nusoipoopie]

Is this PSX or Saturn version? Or even Arcade?

[@alexhndr]

Wait.. This isnt the world record? But never found any replay wih higher score~

[@Enthcreations]

Crazy

[@zexalsrevenge511]

How do you get to the second loop of Dodonpachi?

@@pipesin_hdOk thanks now I know.

​​@@pipesin_hdYou don't have to do all of them though. Just don't die 3 times Also, Julian Seph posts nonsense. I'd double check everything he posts just in case. Or even better, pretend he doesn't exist.
