DoDonPachi DaiOuJou White Label - 2-ALL A-Exy 1,271,629,720 【怒首領蜂 大往生(白)】

At long last, I finally got my 1st ever 2-ALL of DOJWL! I =D I didn’t think I’d get the DOJWL 2-ALL before the end of 2019, but I managed to! =)
Alright, so a little background here… I started playing DoDonPachi DaiOuJou White Label on July 3rd, 2018. Needless to say, it’s the most challenging game I’ve ever played, as well as the most challenging game I’ve ever cleared in my what is so far 6 years of playing STGs/Shmups (I started out playing STGs/Shmups through Touhou back at late July/early August 2013). This game certainly earned its reputation alright.
Back when I was playing Ketsui in June 2018 (This was when I was going for the Tsuujou/Omote 2-ALL), I began to have thoughts about how much fun I had with DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Black Label, since I knew how to score in that game. It was then, that I thought, “Hmm, maybe I could give DoDonPachi DaiOuJou White Label a shot?” At first, I was adverse to it, since I knew full well of its reputation & how I wasn’t too sure, if I was ready to handle a game such as that one yet, but eventually, I wanted to go play DOJWL more and more &, well, I just ended up deciding that I’ll play DOJWL next after I get the Ketsui Tsuujou/Omote 2-ALL.
The run that you see before you here is the result of several hundreds of hours’ worth of playing this game, and just this game alone from my end (I have no idea exactly just how much time did I spent playing DOJWL & I’m not quite sure, if I want to find out, haha). For all I know, maybe I spent close to a 1000 hours playing this game, or maybe even a thousand. I didn't keep track of that, so I'll just leave it at that. I played no other STG/Shmup game between the time period of July 3rd, 2018 to Dec. 27th, 2019. Also, yes, I played DOJWL in that time period every day, more-or-less.
A couple things about this run, without spoiling too much… I died to something very silly on the stage 1-2 boss, but I decided to keep going with the run, since I didn’t feel like restarting there.
The 2nd loop went really well, I have to say! This run marks the 5th time I managed to No Miss stages 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 & 2-4 in a full run of DOJWL! It was a bit of a shame, though, that I dropped the hit chain a couple times in stage 2-4 due to nerves. I lost a good bit of score that didn’t have to be lost (I would have gotten 1.3+ Billion in this run, if not for that), but oh well.
Also, I couldn’t believe I managed to full chain stage 2-5 with just 2 hypers at the very beginning of the stage. Also, whew, that Hibachi fight was pretty bonkers, considering that wasn’t the ideal scenario I had in-mind when I got to her!
Those are a few things I can say about the run without spoiling too much. ;-)
Yeah, feel free to ask me any questions and/or leave comments concerning this run and all, and I'll be happy to answer them! =D

P.S. - I want to thank LYX, WY, Iconoclast, SON, Harduser, descriptive, Kal-Koron, CJM, VEO, fufufu., MYM, Funky Turtle/Beetle, Yusemi SWY, LAOS Osada-Sennin & Pazzy for their DOJWL 2-ALL runs! =D I used your runs to go study on what to do in DOJWL, so I appreciate that you all shared those videos on KZbin & other places! =)
I also want to thank Jaimers for sharing that easy way to do the Stage 1-4 Full Chain! =D I wouldn’t have gotten to learn how to do the Stage 1-4 Full Chain without that video of yours! =) I messed up the stage 1-4 full chain in this video, though, but I was able to chain everything up to the 1-4 1-up cannon consistently ever since, so I appreciate it!
I want to shout-out to Yoishi, Pandora, Prinny, Maribel Hearn, Sithis/Aldnox, Dice_24K, Xeronator, LibriJamm, OmKol, Komugi, Zengeku, Juju Kenobi, Mark_MSX & a whole host of others for their support while I embarked on this journey of getting the DOJWL 2-ALL from July 3rd, 2018 to Dec. 27th, 2019! =D I am grateful for you all cheering me on, as that helped to keep me going as I pushed on with DOJWL (Not to mention, I did promise a number of them that I’d get the DOJWL 2-ALL before the end of this year)! =)
I’ll also shout-out to the rest of Jaimers’s crew in the ijiyatsu players (e.g. Erppo, Naut, Azinth, Emuser, VgameT, Ebarrett, Drake, .ASP/Zetzumarshen, Saucykobold & the others) for being inspirational to me & how they proved, that STG Doujin Game Players that started out with Touhou can handle games outside of Touhou.
I’ll also shout-out as well to Bananamatic, Seppo Hovi, Chum, Lyv, Heartbeam, Zodiac (Natnoi Z0diac) & Shmoop_meister for being inspirational to me as well, as they were also Touhou Players who went on to do amazing things in games outside of Touhou.
Enjoy the run & if you play DOJWL, may it help you in understanding what to do in DOJWL! =D
Also, by the way… Touhou is Harder! Also, yes, I play using a keyboard.

Alright, after some thought, I suppose I’ll leave this here as a reference in navigating my 1st ever DOJWL 2-ALL video for specific stages you perhaps want to see. I was gonna do this a while ago, but I just never got around to doing it until now… 1st Loop Stage 1-1: 00:13 - Stage 1-1 Boss: 01:51 Stage 1-2: 02:50 - Stage 1-2 Boss: 05:01 Stage 1-3: 05:51 - Stage 1-3 Boss: 08:41 Stage 1-4: 10:28 - Stage 1-4 Boss: 13:48 Stage 1-5: 16:39 - Stage 1-5 Boss: 20:51 2nd Loop Stage 2-1: 23:25 - Stage 2-1 Boss: 25:04 Stage 2-2: 25:51 - Stage 2-2 Boss: 28:03 Stage 2-3: 28:53 - Stage 2-3 Boss: 31:28 Stage 2-4: 33:09 - Stage 2-4 Boss: 36:27 Stage 2-5: 38:20 - Stage 2-5 Boss: 42:30 Hibachi (True Last Boss): 43:42 Some passing notes here... The way I do stage 2-1 in-general (boss included, I show you the easy way of handling the stage 2-1 boss if you don't want to do the "proper" way of doing the stage 2-1 boss) is perhaps the easiest way to go about handling that stage survival-wise, if you’re really up for trying to get the DOJWL 2-ALL (In-fact, getting through stage 2-1 as a whole should be the very 1st thing you want to make sure you have down consistently and all the time, if you really want to 2-ALL DOJWL. By that extension, it should also be noted here, that the 2nd thing you must make sure you can do consistently at all times is to get through all of stage 2-2 (boss included) without dying (Study how I handle stage 2-2 in-general in this video of mines to get an idea of what to do in stage 2-2 at-large), if you're serious about wanting to 2-ALL DOJWL), as it makes getting through that stage as easy as possible and not so nerve-wracking. To elaborate a bit further in my note about stage 2-1, the way I do stage 2-1 here (boss included) without dying is consistent and reliable, and, well, you never want to die in stage 2-1 in DOJWL ever, as that’s a game over on the spot should you die anywhere in stage 2-1, as the game takes away all of your spare lives at the end of stage 1-5 (You get 10,000,000 points per spare life added to your score (Out of a maximum of 50,000,000 points you can potentially get from the end of stage 1-5 spare lives bonus) by the time you get past the stage 1-5 boss and right before entering the 2nd loop, provided you fulfill at least 1 out of 3 conditions to enter the 2nd loop), leaving you with no spare lives entering stage 2-1, so you absolutely cannot make a survival mistake in stage 2-1 anywhere. Study closely how I do stage 2-1 in this 1st ever DOJWL 2-ALL video of mines, if you want to start off in trying to 2-ALL DOJWL. It's also to be noted, that you really don't want to use a bomb anywhere in stage 2-1. The reason for this is because, should you use 1 bomb in stage 2-1, it may put you in a bad survival scenario for when you face the stage 2-2 boss (The safest way to handle the stage 2-2 boss without dying in DOJWL is to hyper it's opening attack, then bomb through it's 2nd attack, and then when you get to it's final form, when it uses it's final attack, when you damage it enough, to where the announcer says "Just a couple more shots," then you activate your hyper to finish it off. I illustrate how to handle the stage 2-2 boss in this run more-or-less perfectly, so study that). I mean, sure, there's a way to get past the stage 2-1 boss using a bomb (It's apparently a death label strat, if I heard right), but I personally do not recommend using a bomb against the stage 2-1 boss at all because, chances are, you'll probably need that extra bomb for the stage 2-2 boss, as that'll allow you a little extra room for error, should the ideal way to handle the stage 2-2 boss, survival-wise (That is, the hyper-bomb-hyper strat), not go as planned (Sometimes, the stage 2-2 boss will just do that to you, to where you'll need the 2nd bomb to get past it anyway after you do the hyper-bomb-hyper strategy). Right, the way I do stage 1-4... Though I messed up the stage 1-4 1-up cannon midboss chain connect in this run, and thus, messing up the stage 1-4 full chain in this run, I did chain from the beginning of stage 1-4 up to that part, as well as chaining the railgun section right after the 1-up cannon midboss mess-up up to right before the stage 1-4 boss, so seeing how I do stage 1-4 should give you enough of an idea to work with on how to chain 1-4 in the easiest way possible, as the way I was trying to show stage 1-4 in this run is the easiest way to chain all of stage 1-4 (It's not as optimized as the more "proper" way(s) of doing the stage 1-4 full chain, sure, but it'll still give you a good amount of score simply from the very virtue of full chaining the stage alone (Doing the stage 1-4 full chain in the way I'm talking about here will get you at least a 2000+ Hit chain for stage 1-4, which is still a respectable 1-4 full chain), so it's worth doing, if you don't want to learn the more "proper" ways of learning the stage 1-4 full chain right now, but still want to learn to full chain 1-4 in some way or form nonetheless), so if you want to start off in learning how to full chain stage 1-4, then the way I do stage 1-4 in my 1st ever DOJWL 2-ALL video here is a good beginner's strat to learning the stage 1-4 full chain (Again, even though I didn't full chain stage 1-4 in this run, it should give you enough to work with, to where you'll get the idea). Also, the way I do stage 1-4 in this run is the strat I use, should I have to activate all 5 of my hypers against the stage 1-3 boss final form to prevent dying at that part, since you never want to die anywhere at stage 1-3 ever, if you want to full chain stage 1-4.

[@JaimersSTG]

Amazing stuff man. Very well deserved.

[@violethatpurple3938]

Thank you, Jaimers! =D I appreciate that you took the time to come say that to me here! =) To say the least, it took me a whole ton of time & effort (and then some more), as well as me having to make sacrifices, like putting off lots of other games I wanted to play to focus on getting the DOJWL 2-ALL, to name one, but it all ended up being totally worth it in the end! =)

[@mazstg8844]

Super run! DDP DOJ WL is always entertaining to watch, and that run of yours is brilliant! Congrats!

[@violethatpurple3938]

Thank you, MaZ! =D It was no easy feat to do, suffice to say, but it is done! =) Like, I usually don't die to the stage 1-2 boss like that & it's usually something I restart the run over, but I didn't feel like restarting in this run, so I just decided to just roll with it anyway. I never would have guessed that same run would end up being my 1st ever 2-ALL of DOJWL! Funny how that happens. I didn't think I'd actually get past Hibachi in this run, too, since I didn't reach the stage 2-5 boss 1st form, Kouryuu, with an ideal hyper setup (The problem stemmed from me making the wrong call not to activate my hyper at 42:07). You see, I mistakenly believed that using a hyper there would end up making me spawn a hyper before reaching Kouryuu, when really, I should have used it there, as my hyper meter actually was low enough for me to use it there without the risk of that happening, which made the entire whole fight between the 1st form, Kouryuu, the 2nd form, Taisabachi & Hibachi herself a lot more wild than it really needed to be. Yet, despite that, I managed to 2-ALL DOJWL! I guess you can say I really just wanted that 2-ALL, that I played like hell to make up for it. =)

[@mazstg8844]

@@violethatpurple3938 thanks for the run down! Very often the run we need and get at the end isn't the perfectly planned run we practice for. It is part of the game and I like it 😄

[@violethatpurple3938]

@@mazstg8844 Yeah, it's not easy to get the ideal run, suffice to say, especially when it comes down to DOJWL, haha. :P While I was still aiming for my 1st ever 2-ALL of DOJWL, part of what I established for myself was that, as long as I'm still going for it, there's a few certain mistakes I can allow myself to get away with, in-regards to the 1st loop. One of them was that, if I die to the stage 1-2 boss, depending on where it is I died at (case-by-case thing), I may or may not restart the run over something like that. Another spot I look at through by a case-by-case basis is where did I die at the stage 1-1 boss while hyper milking him (This happens more often than I care to admit, haha :P) to enter stage 1-2. Heck, for the stage 1-4 boss, if I die to his 3rd pattern while I have a hyper, then what I do, in an attempt to salvage the stage 1-5 hyper setup, is that I suicide intentionally a few times to get my hyper meter up, and after that, I use up all my bombs to spawn the hyper, and proceed to milk the stage 1-4 boss to get 5 hyper meters filled for stage 1-5. I also let myself be okay with losing the stage 1-4 full chain if the RNG in the 1-up cannon and/or the rail section is bad. Adding to that, I also let myself be fine with messing up the stage 1-5 boss if it happens, as well as me being okay with not getting the bomb bonus over to the 2nd loop, should that happen as well. I let myself be okay with any of those mistakes if they do happen as long as I'm still aiming for my 1st ever 2-ALL of DOJWL, as I want to try to get as many full runs as I can get that enters into the 2nd loop without having to restart many times more than I already have done & dealt with (I restarted more runs than I care to admit, let's just say). However, I gave myself a set of minimum requirements for the 1st loop of DOJWL that I will always make sure to fulfill at all times, in-terms of full runs. I will always want to full chain stages 1-1, 1-2 & 1-5. I will also always make sure to never die anywhere in stage 1-3, since I want to enter into stage 1-4 with either 5 hypers in (ideal) or with 5 hypers activated (usual, safe strat that still gives me a chance to full chain 1-4 in the way I know it best). Score-wise, I also make sure that, by the end of the 1st loop of DOJWL, I have, at the very least, over 500+ Million to enter into the 2nd loop with. If I mess up any 1 of those minimum requirements, then yeah, I will reset the run & do it all over again. Lastly... I did notice I forgot to type in the word "like" after "feel" in my last response, so I went to correct that mistake, haha. :P

[@TPY-PrinnySTG]

Congrats on getting this. You've been going for the 2-all for a while now and its a good way to end the year on a high note.

[@violethatpurple3938]

Thank you, Prinny! =D Yeah, it wasn't easy alright, suffice to say. It took me almost 18 months of playing DOJWL, & just DOJWL, straight, as well as at least several hundreds of hours, so there was lots of sacrifice involved (To name one such thing, I had to put off lots of games I wanted to play in order to focus on getting the DOJWL 2-ALL), but it all led up to this moment. It was totally worth it! =)

[@violethatpurple3938]

Also, sorry we haven't talked in so long. Me going after the DOJWL 2-ALL was the main reason for that. Most, if not, almost all of my free time was taken up by that game. I'll start to think of how I'll make it up to you, now that I got the DOJWL 2-ALL.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Ohhh yes!!!! The White Label 2 all has arrived! You know what this means violet!

[@violethatpurple3938]

Haha, indeed it has, Mark! =D Previously before I got my 1st ever 2-ALL of DOJWL, I was thinking I wouldn't get the DOJWL 2-ALL before the end of the year, and I braced myself for what looks to be the yet long haul of having to continue playing DOJWL for a bit longer, and, well, I got the DOJWL 2-ALL when I least expected it! =) Hmm... I think I can guess what this means next... Well, I do remember that offer you once made to me about coming to your podcast as a guest, and I did say to you to wait a little longer until I get the DOJWL 2-ALL, then you can come to ask me that again. I never forgot about that. =)

[@paulpham668]

I’m watching this for the first 10 minutes and I’m quite impressed how you’re able to dodge everything. MAD SKILLS btw!!!!

[@violethatpurple3938]

Hey, Paul! It's good to see you here! =D Also, thank you, by the way! =) Ahaha, well, there was still that one silly death at the stage 1-2 boss that usually doesn't happen. I usually would restart on that moment, but for this particular run, I just didn't feel like restarting over something like that, so I decided to just continue rolling with that run. I never would have thought this run would end up being my 1st ever 2-ALL of DOJWL! It was a pleasant surprise, let's just say. =) If you were to ask me, my overall 2nd loop performance in this run is the more entertaining part all over (I would check that out, starting from 23:20) & the stage 1-5 full chain is also fun to do (Start at 16:40), if only because I always love doing the stage 1-5 full chain everytime. Speaking of which, you really do need to go see the Hibachi fight in my run (Starts at 43:43)! That ended up being one hell of a battle, since I didn't have the ideal hyper setup reaching her. I could still hardly believe I got the DOJWL 2-ALL, despite that. Shame I didn't get to demonstrate the stage 1-4 full chain in this run, but oh well, stuff happens. The 1-up cannon & the rail section are both RNG-based, so if you get bad RNG in those 2 areas, you pretty much lost the stage 1-4 full chain.

[@remembershooting2064]

Absolutely brilliant! Unbelievably tense, amazing skill.

[@violethatpurple3938]

Thank you, Stanshall! =D Heh, for me, whenever I get full runs of DOJWL where I No Miss stages 2-1, 2-2 & 2-3, I get pretty nervous, since that's really good, survival-wise, and, well, stage 2-4 is known for it's rail section & the stage 2-4 boss. Speaking of tense... Strangely enough, though, after I no Miss stage 2-4 & entered stage 2-5 with all 5 spare lives, I felt unusually calm, like that "in the zone, determined to win" kind of feeling, I guess you can say. I was still shakened a little, but I was actually able to control it at that time. Me dying at the part right after the 2nd midboss in a rather silly & awkward way threw me off a bit, but I was able to re-bound & focus back in, since I saw that my chain hasn't dropped yet & ended up getting the stage 2-5 full chain. Entering the stage 2-5 boss 1st form, Kouryuu, was also a tense thing as well, not merely because I reached her with 4 spare lives (1st time this happened in a full run for me, by the way), but because I reached her with a not exactly ideal hyper meter setup. In a strange way, me dying at that one point in stage 2-5 might have maybe helped me, since I had 1 extra bomb more to use against the hardest version of Kouryuu's 2nd attack. I was very fortunate to have really good RNG for the rest of that battle & throughout all of the stage 2-5 boss's 2nd form, Taisabachi, so those two parts went ideally. Now, Hibachi herself... She was a very scary one to deal with. The reason I say that is not merely because it's her, but because I reached her with a not so ideal hyper meter setup, so that makes dealing with her a lot more harder. Both me performing well at Hibachi's 3rd attack without dying (Basically, I had to survive & dodge that whole thing without the aid of a hyper cancel because I didn't have that ideal hyper meter setup when I reached Hibachi) & getting a hyper meter filled up in the beginning of Hibachi's final attack before I lost a life there allowed me to make up for the not exactly ideal hyper meter setup and, well, it was all enough to allow me to finally 2-ALL DOJWL! Ah, sorry for the lengthy comment, Stanshall. I was going on about being tense & nervous, and I just typed all this out without really realizing it. I gave you quite an earful, didn't I? My bad. :P

[@violethatpurple3938]

Hey, Hugo! It's good to see you here! =D Also, thank you, by the way! It means a lot to me! =) Yeah, this was the only STG/Shmup game I was playing from Jul. 3rd, 2018 all the way to Dec. 27th, 2019 straight. I played no other STG/Shmup game between that time period. DOJWL was that challenging of a game to me, that I had to (as tough as it is) temporarily suspend all plans to play other STG/Shmup games until I get the DOJWL 2-ALL done. It was an absolute monster of a game, to put it mildly. It took lots of time, effort & practice, but it was finally done, and I gotta say, it was so totally worth it in the end! =D

[@OmKol]

Amazing, just amazing! Congratulations!

[@violethatpurple3938]

Thank you, OmKol! =D It was very challenging for me to 2-ALL DOJWL (I made it even harder on myself by scoring in it), but it is done. It was totally worth it! =) I wish you all the best in getting the DOJWL 2-ALL yourself, OmKol! =D I know you're very close to getting it! =) At the very least, you're doing a survival-centered DOJWL 2-ALL & not the scoring kind of DOJWL 2-ALL, so I'd venture to say it's at least a bit easier on you in that regard, though at the same time, I know it's still a very challenging game to 2-ALL anyway nonetheless, score or no score.

[@Harduser-Shmup-Analysisdec6805]

Congratulations!finally you got it!

[@violethatpurple3938]

Thank you, Harduser! =D I gotta tell you, DOJWL is the most challenging game I've ever played (perhaps maybe ever, but it was lots of fun, at the same time), and it took me a little under 18 months (from Jul. 3rd, 2018 to Dec. 27th, 2019) of playing just this game and this game alone (I had to put off plans to play other STG/Shmup games in favor of focusing on getting the DOJWL 2-ALL), as well as hundreds of hours in that same time period (I have no idea how many hours (didn't keep track, haha, and perhaps that's probably for the better), but it could be at least maybe close to 1000+ hours or so (or maybe even a 1000 hours) total (at least around maybe 800+ hours or so, perhaps, if you had to insist on asking me) for all I know, but I managed to get the DOJWL 2-ALL, and before 2019 ended, to boot! In the end, it was worth it, I'd say, and I learned a whole lot out of my time with DOJWL! =D You know, I gotta thank you, Harduser, for being such an inspiration to me in both DOJBL an, particularly, DOJWL. That DOJWL stage 2-1 boss survival strategy of yours was just brilliant, and it played a major, if not, vital part in helping me manage the stage 2-1 boss in DOJWL without dying, thus laying the foundation for me to really be able to stand a chance in DOJWL and go for the 2-ALL in it. Had you not shared that DOJWL 2-1 boss survival strategy in your KZbin channel, I'd be having a much harder time with DOJWL (stage 2-1 would have been a whole lot scarier to deal with without your strategy), and I probably wouldn't have gotten the DOJWL 2-ALL before the end of last year (Heck, if not for your help, maybe I'd probably still be trying to go for my 1st ever 2-ALL of DOJWL right now). Indeed, I appreciate your work in DOJ, in both BL and, particularly, WL, and so, I sincerely am grateful for you helping me out the way you did in DOJWL, Harduser! Know that you played a fundamental role in my success in DOJWL! I'll never forget it! =)

[@violethatpurple3938]

Also, I forgot to say this, and I realize this was quite rude of me to neglect mentioning him, but Harduser... If you do see and/or hear from descriptive next time (I know he's a good friend of yours), do give him my regards. =D The advice he shared in Shmups Forum in the few posts he made was useful info to me in my early stages of playing DOJWL, and for that, I am grateful to him. He's a bit of an unsung hero, in this regard. I do regret that I neglected to mention a bit about him until now, and thus, I am sorry about that (I added his name in my video description just now to give him the acknowledgement he rightly deserves. I was really at the 5000 word limit, but I was somehow able to get it, to where I got to add his name in it). You mentioned descriptive is busy with work these days, but again, if you ever get to see and/or hear from him again, if you could do this for me, do let him know that he's played a part in me getting a DOJWL 2-ALL, and that I am thankful to him for sharing that info, for it helped me in the long run in getting a DOJWL 2-ALL. I want descriptive to know this, coming from me. =)

I learned and gained a whole lot out of my time with DOJ, I'd say. =D To tell you, if I had to pick between BL and WL, I'd say WL is the more fun game of the two, though WL is a far more challenging game to 2-ALL than BL, so I wouldn't jump into WL haphazardly unless you know exactly what it is you're getting into. I'd recommend starting with BL and do well at it first before getting into WL, if you were to ask me. I do have further plans for DOJ, in both the BL & WL versions. In-particular, I'd like to do more with DOJWL, but for now, I've been taking a break from DOJ, since, I gotta say, WL took the most effort by far and wide to finally get the 2-ALL in it (There were several times, where I thought I'll never get the DOJWL 2-ALL, that I may be stuck trying to 2-ALL DOJWL forever, and thus, be the end of me as a STG/Shmup Player. No game ever challenged my own fortitude more than DOJWL did. It's remarkable, that I stuck it out with DOJWL for about a year and a half (I played no other game in that same time period, too. It was just only DOJWL alone that I played that whole time) before finally getting the 2-ALL out of it). Plus, I also wanted to play other games as well, but since DOJWL took so much time and effort out of me just to 2-ALL it (It's even moreso, when I actually score in it), I had to, much to my dismay, put all those plans on-hold for about year and a half until I finally got the DOJWL 2-ALL. Ever since, I went on with my plans to play other games, but yes, I do want to come back to DOJ sometime and go on with those further plans I have for both BL and WL. Just, for now, I'd like to try out other games I haven't played yet and do well in those first before coming back to DOJ. Also, yes, I'm familiar with the stage 3 full chain. In DOJWL, pulling that off is going to be much more challenging to do than at DOJBL. Since I didn't really bother much in trying to be consistent in getting the stage 1-3 full chain back when I played DOJBL (I was familiar with it, though), I wasn't really about to begin to consider trying to do that for DOJWL.

@@violethatpurple3938 | I still hope you eventually get better enough at the game to try chaining into Kuura (the Stage 3 mid-boss). The Hyper trick in 1-3 is pretty difficult, after all. But at least in 2-3, you can simply use your normal shot to slowly take chain points off the battleship (destroying its turrets) before lasering Kuura in time. I think you have what it takes to make a White Label world record! Has anyone ever played White Label and fully chained all stages (both Normal and Hard Loops)? You could be the first! Hope to see more White Label stuff in the future!

congratulation on your clear! I also refer to your cool trick on 2-3 mid boss.

Thank you, Funky Beetle! =D It's good to see you here! I've known about you ever since you got that 1st ever DOJWL 2-ALL of yours a few years back at 2017, and you were among those that made me eventually think that I can handle DOJWL (This was especially the case after I got the DOJBL 2-ALL back at Jan. 29th, 2018), which lead to me taking that leap of faith, that is, working on a DOJWL 2-ALL back at Jul. 2018, so I am grateful to you for that! =) Man, this game was an absolute monster to deal with, but I managed to get through it, though I'm sure you'd know that feeling all too well, since you played a lot of DOJWL yourself well before I did. It was so totally worth it in the end! =) As tough as this game was for me, I found it lots of fun as well, especially when I learned how to score in it (I learned how to score in most of DOJBL, so I took that knowledge with me to DOJWL & changed it up accordingly), so they balance each other out, one can say, haha. :P Yeah, the trick I use on the 2-3 midboss was something I learned from LYX. At first, I tried Pazzy's way of doing it, but after a while, I personally found it a bit too risky for me. I eventually went with LYX's way of handling the 2-3 midboss, and I was much more consistent with his way of doing it, so I stuck with his way ever since.
